...stirring, pouring, clamping, filtering, and cannulating (nothing too raunchy, don’t worry). Having Chem 135 tucked into your academic pocket protector is an indication to most professors that you can handle their lab research—and you can. Between sophomore and junior years, most concentrators begin looking for a lab to work part time in for course credit. Don’t limit yourself to Mallinckrodt Hall, either: opportunities abound in other chemistry-related departments, at the technical school down Mass. Ave., and at the Medical School. The department’s undergrad advisor, Gregg Tucci...
Like all worthwhile things in life—college, employment, gun ownership—your Hist and Lit career begins with an application. It sounds intimidating at first, but once you are accepted into the fold and its cozy nook in the Barker Center, you are joining an old family (seriously old—it’s celebrating its centennial this year).Like the Grape Nuts phenomenon, History and Literature is neither History nor Literature—at least not exclusively. Rather, it uses history to contextualize and draw conclusions about literature, and vice versa. Daily Hist...
...true love!ANALYSIS: Fuck.Turn that frown upside down, dear reader. Social Analysis isn’t the sexiest of Core categories, but it ain’t the dreariest either. (Hello, Moral Reasoning.) Besides, many of you won’t have to worry about it to begin with. Social Analysis 10 = Ec 10 = Harvard’s most popular freshman class. For those who foresee a high-flying life in finance—or for those who have no idea what they want to do with their lives and hey, economics could be interesting, right? right...
...immediate problem is a case study in diplomatic hairsplitting. Iran is not currently offering to suspend enrichment before talks begin, as the U.S. and Europe have demanded. In its formal response to the U.S.-backed incentive package offering economic rewards for ending uranium enrichment, Iran rejected the principle that it suspend enrichment as a precondition for negotiation. Instead, the Iranians appear to be offering the possibility of suspending enrichment for a defined period in the course of negotiations - a position reiterated last weekend in talks between Tehran's top negotiator, Ali Larijani, and EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana...
...Talks is the operative word: Even though Solana and Larijani appear to be seeking to find a way to bridge (or perhaps fudge) what appear to be mutually exclusive positions over when Iran would suspend enrichment - i.e., before talks, or after they begin - they can't use the word negotiations to describe their conversations since the U.S.-EU position precludes negotiations until Iran suspends enrichment. Whatever they call their meetings, Larijani and Solana are clearly engaged in a process designed to avert a confrontation. They were due to meet on Thursday, but postponed that discussion to allow their aides more...
