...cell research comes at a time when Human Developmental and Regenerative Biology is likely to be approved by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences as a new life science concentration at the College. “It’ll be a great opportunity for undergraduates to explore a breadth of ideas and issues in biology” from a different perspective, Eggan said...
...further Cambridge’s ongoing effort to maintain its status as a world-class hub of scientific research while stimulating the local economy and offering economic opportunities during the current financial crisis, proponents say. “It seems like a natural progression that will add to the breadth and scope of biotech here in Cambridge,” Mayor E. Denise Simmons said of the project. Simmons said the labs will benefit the city by attracting more people with highly specialized talents and employing many more. She said she will ask the company to reach out to Cambridge...
Instead, proposed concentrations should be evaluated according to that field’s independence and breadth. To meet this threshold, a field of study should not be subordinate to any other field of study and should command a broad range and history of inquiry. Truly distinct fields of study satisfy both of these criteria, and only truly distinct fields of study should be adopted as concentrations. Most undergraduates have specialized interests within their fields of study—some physics concentrators might otherwise elect to “concentrate” in nuclear energy, for example, and some English concentrators...
Given the centrality and breadth that characterize HDRB, we do not doubt that it should qualify for concentration status. As human knowledge continues to expand and splinter, however, it will become increasingly important for the Faculty to hold fast to its liberal arts principles. Undergraduates at Harvard should specialize in a distinct and central field of study in the tradition of the liberal arts; they are not graduate students, postdocs, or researchers, and their experience should not be treated as such. Even as the face of science transforms, the core pedagogical values that have guided the College for well over...
...they defy definition after a single listen. A mixtape is simultaneously a record of the maker’s mood at the time, a sum or product of the totality of their experiences up until creation, and a continually moving barometer of the listener’s musical breadth. Finding the totality of what music has to offer, as with any art, is about discovering connections, following them to their end, and then making more.An Essential Mix from almost a decade ago by David Holmes led me to explore the artists that influenced and provided the tracks for his horn...
