...feeling that they're doing hard work in the University," says Till M. Roenneberg, a research associate in biology who co-teaches North 119, "Chronobiology: Cells, Organisms, and Temporal Organization," with North House Master J. Woodland Hastings. "If the courses were held in the lecture halls of the bio labs, people would tend to say it's over at half past seven or eight. It's more of an open-ended discussion...
...kill for one of these. And our pool table is fairly "unparalleled" as well. The way the right corner pocket just sucks the balls right in, like a magnet. And the cockroaches that have been known to stampede across the kitchen floor. I guess they're pretty "unparalleled" too.

Gilbert, who left Harvard in 1981 to head one of the first biotechnology firms to exploit genetic engineering techniques, claims his company can do the job and turn a profit at the same time. He estimates that his "moderately sized bio firm" would require 300 scientists working over a period of 10 years at a cost of $300 million. The only problem, Gilbert says, is "how to make money while the research is going...
