There are too many people, too much expensive equipment, too many unpredictable factors like weather and local crowds. On those rocky days, "sometimes you walk on a set, and you'd think people are doing brain surgery," says Kennedy. "People take what they're doing so personally. It's a reflection of who you are." It's in these moments that Kennedy and Marshall fall most naturally into their roles as set parents, calming and focusing their film family toward a hopefully beautiful ending...
Harvard researchers are making use of “Brainbow,” a colorful new technique, to visualize the circuitry of the brain in new ways. The technique, detailed in this week’s issue of Nature, activates fluorescent proteins in neurons. The colors then combine to produce an array of more than 100 different shades. The new approach was discovered by a team led by Jeff W. Lichtman and Joshua R. Sanes, both professors in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology who teach MCB 80, “Neurobiology of Behavior...

So here is my call, not for womanish leniency, but for more manful restrictions on the issuance of visas. As much as I support the concept of brain drain—it’s such an extravagance to send those we educate back to their countries of origin, to waste their education among non-American peoples—the very presence of foreigners on our soil (especially that of the wild Canadian hordes) makes my skin crawl...
