" Chemistry found in laboratory STAFF REPORTS Chemistry is defined as the science that deals with the composition, structure and properties of substances and of the changes they undergo. Or it can be defined as a strong mutual attraction between two individuals. The USC's chemistry and biochemistry department possesses an astonishing portion of the later definition, with six members of the department with spouses as colleagues. Former department chair John Baynes and his wife, Sue Thorpe, the Blys (Robert and Ruta) and the Kistlers (Steve and Malathi) are all happily married and share their working and research environments with their respective spouses. Good chemistry is an essential component in every relationship; it helps guide the mind and body in professional and personal situations. All three USC faculty couples are thankful for and 4-Via oknmi'ofmr fUntr V* OTTQ Tirif V? piuuu U1 UiC U1CUUO l/l J UIVJ ixavv IT 1U1 their mates, at home and at the office. "One thing people often say to me is, 1 could never work with my husband," Thorpe said. "I am not sure I would like to feel that way about my husband." Baynes and Thorpe met at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Medicine, where they each were employed by different faculty members. They met when Baynes asked to borrow a piece of equipment, a sintered glass funnel. They applied for a grant together when they realized their research projects were related. They have been married for 20 years and have worked together for 19. Their work often came home with them, and their children soon became tired of a language they could not understand. "The kids were complaining that we spoke in biochemistry too much," Thorpe said. "So when they were young, we made a commitment that dinner time was family time. We made an effort to talk about their days, not ours." Today, Baynes and Thorpe collaborate on research involving age-related disorders, such as diabetes and atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. The second of the three chemistry couples is the Blys, Ruta and Robert, who met while attending graduate school at the University of Colorado. Organic chemistry is the Blys' specialty, so they blend their respective personalities, skills and talents to create an ideal research team. "He deals with getting ideas, writing 1 J ui;?i-i?? ?A T prupusoisi aiiu puuiuxxLiuuo, aiiu x uucu with hands-on lab experience," Ruta said. "He thinks what should be done, and I do it." The third chemistry couple is the Kistlers, Malathi and Steve, who met in a science lab at the University of Chicago. Both were postdoctoral fellows when they began "a typical science romance," Steve said. Their relationship is "one of dynamic tension," Steve said. "The two of us approach things in different ways that are complementary. Over the years, you leam to appreciate the other's talents, even if the manner is different from yours. We always approach things from a different perspective." "There are a lot of strong points," Malathi said. "But it is like everything else. You have to work at it. Working this way and having a family, one person can stay home while the other finishes up in the lab." Steve and Malathi Kistler have worked together since 1976 on the scientific puzzle of spermatogenesis, or how sperm cells are created. Male infertility and inhibition and controlling of reproduction are scrutinized in their research together. ^
