Reference excerpt

Kenneth Wayne Kinzler (born January 30, 1962) is a professor of oncology, and director of the Ludwig Center at Johns Hopkins University at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center. Kinzler received his PhD from Johns Hopkins University in 1988. He is of German descent. Much of his work has been in collaboration with Bert Vogelstein, beginning when Kinzler was a graduate student and Vogelstein was a new assistant professor. He developed serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) as a bioinformatics tool for the quantification of gene expression.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Kenneth W. Kinzler

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Kenneth W. Kinzler 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 Kenneth W. Kinzler 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 Kenneth W. Kinzler 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 Kenneth W. Kinzler

In research: Kenneth W. Kinzler 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 Kenneth W. Kinzler 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: Kenneth W. Kinzler is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1962 births, American oncologists, Cancer researchers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Kenneth W. Kinzler 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.
