Debate Over Huntsville, Ala., Professor Accused in Killings - NYTimes.com

Debate Over Huntsville, Ala., Professor Accused in Killings - NYTimes.com: "scientists who have looked at Dr. Bishop’s r�sum�said they saw no evidence of genius, no evidence of a cure for diseases like A.L.S., no evidence that she even could have gotten tenure at a major university.

Most of her work was on nitric oxide, a gas that can transmit signals between nerves. High levels of nitric oxide, she proposed, might set off degenerative diseases like A.L.S., and cells treated with low levels of the gas might build resistance. But that is far from proven, scientists said, and the idea was not original with Dr. Bishop."
