HUNTSVILLE, AL -- A biology professor is in custody in connection with three fatal shootings on the University of Alabama in Huntsville campus Friday afternoon, according to a UAH official.
Dr. Amy Bishop, a Harvard-University trained neuroscientist, was taken into custody, and her husband has been detained. They have not been charged with a crime.
According to police, three people were killed and three were wounded when the shooter opened fire during a biology faculty meeting on the third floor of the Shelby Center for Science and Technology. The three injured people are being treated at Huntsville Hospital.
In June 2006, The Times published a story involving Bishop, biology professor and her husband, Jim Anderson, chief science officer of Cherokee Labsystems in Huntsville.
Bishop is quoted in the story as co-inventor of "InQ," a new cell growth incubator which promised to cut the costs, size and maintenance involved in the mechanics of cell generation.

Ding! Ding! Ding!
We have a winner here ladies and gentlemen!
Well, who owns the intellectual property rights of a professor has been an ongoing debate in colleges and universties for years.
One thing is certain: the administrators, coordinators,
assistant and associate deans, and vice presidents, and so forth have not done any creating or writing for years if ever.
You can go to www.ratemyprofessor.com to read comments left by students. Overall it seems they liked her, and her class, but why she was denied tenure remains to be known. Just an extremely sad story.
Bottom line, I think the wife through UAH was doing the R&D for hubbies company.
I know someone with a Masters from that department at that school. I will see what the old-timers from the 90s think it was.
dang she through her life away if she killed them..well they did her harn so they deserved it {sarc}
According to Schumer, only, if they can prove they can't hit the broadside of a barn at 10 feet, safer that way.
I must say you have guts posting that question.
If you knew how that works you would realize that you answered your own question. Those who are already tenured DO NOT like potential competition from upstarts!
Universities claim whatever their faculty develop. Years ago a nephrologist at the University of Florida developed a drink for athletes and went to the university to market it. They wanted no part of it so he went to Stokely VanCamp who bought the rights for a million dollars plus some royalties. Immediately the university sued the professor. They got half the rights. The drink was GatorAde.
“...Harvard-University trained neuroscientist...”
Harvard. The answer is Harvard.
My guess is that Bishop thought that she could slide through tenure just on creation of the device, but the tenure committee wasn't buying into that.
or maybe a shave...:-)
The verdict doesn't look so good.
That sounds about right.
The university system does it...NASA does it....the military does it. They all learn how to steal a work conceived within their boundary. In most cases...they helped to sponsor the person and give them the lab or incentive to create the item. Maybe they deserve something out of the deal. In this case...the university will have it’s dirty laundry put out into the court system and the media. That won’t be a positive situation.
