Reference excerpt

Jennifer Eileen Van Eyk is a Canadian scientist who is the Erika Glazer Chair in Women's Heart Health, the Director of Advanced Clinical Biosystems Institute in the Department of Biomedical Sciences, the Director of Basic Science Research in the Women's Heart Center, a Professor in Medicine and in Biomedical Sciences at Cedars-Sinai.

Early life and education Jennifer E. Van Eyk was born in Northern Ontario, Canada. She obtained a bachelor of science in biology and chemistry from the University of Waterloo in 1982. She received a PhD in biochemistry under the direction of Robert S. Hodges from University of Alberta in 1991. She conducted post-doctoral research at University of Heidelberg, University of Alberta, and University of Illinois at Chicago with R. John Solaro.

Career Van Eyk began her academic career in 1996 as an assistant professor in the Department of Physiology at Queen's University, Kingston, Canada, and she was promoted to associate professor and received tenure in 2001. She then left Canada to join Johns Hopkins University as the Director of the Proteomics Innovation Center in Heart Failure in 2003, and later Cedars-Sinai in 2014. Van Eyk is a member-at-large and a council member of Human Proteome Organization, and the president of US Human Proteome Organization. She was a technical briefs editor at Proteomics. She served on the editorial board of Proteomics: clinical application and Journal of Physiology and Circulation Research. She currently serves on the editorial board of Clinical Proteomics. She is a Fellow of the International Society for Heart Research. and is a Fellow of the American Heart Association.

Research She is an international leading scientist in clinical proteomics. She is the founding director of Cedars-Sinai Advanced Clinical Biosystems Research Institute, whose motto is “from discovery to patient care”. She is co-editor of Clinical Proteomics: From Diagnosis to Therapy, a good book in clinical proteomics and translational medicine.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Jennifer Van Eyk

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Jennifer Van Eyk claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Jennifer Van Eyk before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Jennifer Van Eyk ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Jennifer Van Eyk

In research: Jennifer Van Eyk appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Jennifer Van Eyk in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Jennifer Van Eyk is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics American scientists, Canadian physiologists, Canadian women scientists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Jennifer Van Eyk outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
