The fusion of neuroscience and economics has produced the behavioral theories like “moral hazard,” which so many journalists cite in today’s newspapers. The founding of the Broad Institute at Harvard and MIT in 2004 has spurred scientists on the cutting edge of biology and technology to collaborate on developing genomic medicine. Even the undergraduate Life Sciences curriculum spans five departments, taught by “interdisciplinary teams of faculty [to] address topics in the context of larger biological...

If anything, Corsi seems to have seriously underestimated the broad Kenyan support for Obama, whose father was a Kenyan and who has several half-siblings here. While there is animosity between Luos and Kikuyus - and the tribes were responsible for much of the postelection violence - Obama is immensely popular across ethnic lines in Kenya. Ever since Odinga became Prime Minister in a power-sharing agreement with Kibaki, his own approval ratings have soared...
