Reaching into the
community
Once a month at the House of Ruth in East Baltimore, a group
of women gather in a room with tube socks and lunch bags
full of dried rice. Not accouterments of some nouveau
recipe, the items are supplies for an aromatherapy
workshop.
The class is led by Christiani Guerrero,
an undergraduate at the School of Nursing and one of 14
current Baltimore Schweitzer Fellows. As part of her
fellowship, Guerrero is developing a wellness program for
the House of Ruth, a shelter for women and children seeking
refuge from abusive homes. The other wellness classes she
administers include ones on nutrition, exercise and child
safety.

New X-ray facility opens in
Jenkins
Workers lifted the heart of a new structural analysis center
into Homewood's Jenkins Hall last week, using a crane to
swing a 1,600-pound Rigaku X-ray generator into a
ground-floor window.
The Homewood Center for Macromolecular
X-Ray Crystallography will allow scientists from a variety
of Hopkins departments to conduct detailed analyses of the
structures of proteins and nucleic acids.
"These structures can convey an enormous
amount of information and will permit us to gain insight
into proteins that we couldn't obtain any other way," says
Joel Schildbach, assistant professor in the Krieger School's
Biology Department and principal investigator of the grant
funding the center.
