| ==Essays on "The Art of Science"== | |||
| In his role as Chairman of the Jury for the Lasker Medical Research Awards, Goldstein has written an essay each year (beginning in 2001) that connects creativity in science with creativity in the arts. This collection of writings, published in Nature Medicine and on the Lasker Foundation web site (www.laskerfoundation.org), deals with questions such as “How does a series of scientific experiments come to be regarded as ‘elegant’ or a body research deemed ‘beautiful’?” | |||
| In one of the most popular of these essays, entitled “Towering Science: An Ounce of Creativity is Worth a Ton of Impact,” Goldstein likens scientific discovery to the tower of 17 stones erected by the sculptor Andy Goldsworthy. The colossal 1.5-ton stone at the base of the sculpture represents the vast levels of scientific discovery reported in the lay press, i.e., the type of flashy advance that is announced with fanfare (such as a new cure for cancer) but fails to live up to its original promise. Important and enduring research is symbolized by the tiny stone capping the sculpture, weighing a scant 2 ounces; at first, this type of discovery barely makes a ripple, but eventually it leads to the construction of new scientific edifices. “The tower of Goldsworthy,” Goldstein writes, “reveals how we decide which scientific discoveries are true milestones and prizeworthy of being etched in Lasker stone.” | |||

Joseph L. Goldstein (born April 18, 1940) from Kingstree, South Carolina is a Nobel Prize winning biochemist and geneticist, and a pioneer in the study of cholesterol metabolism.
Dr. Goldstein received a BS in chemistry from Washington and Lee University in 1962 and his M.D. from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in 1966. In 1985 he received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (together with Michael S. Brown) for his research on the metabolism of low density lipoprotein (LDL), and has won numerous other awards for his contributions related to genetic diseases.
