...disease through a novel use of embryonic stem cells from mice. Supporters of embryonic stem cell research have long pointed to the potential to use these cells to directly treat diseases of the nervous system. But the Harvard and Columbia teams assert that stem cells have a broader application in providing critical information for understanding many other human diseases. The researchers have harnessed stem cells from mice embryos, which can develop into any kind of tissue, to create mutant nerve cells for studying the early stages of disease. “With this strategy, it would be possible to study...
...Further, there is no reason to limit the efforts to establishing new departments. This page has frequently advocated for the creation of a center for energy studies, modeled after HSCI. In addition to research-specific collaboration, Harvard–or more specifically, President-elect Faust—should encourage broader coordination between its various schools. Harvard is already doing this to some extent. Just last week, the Kennedy School of Government (KSG) and Harvard Business School (HBS) announced that they would be offering a new joint degree. Further, HBS has been paying increasing attention to the business aspects of science...

...strengthened by having a diverse and integrated student body. As such, we object to any program that creates or tacitly endorses divisions within the student body. Separate prefrosh weekends tacitly endorse, if not create, division within the student body and mislead incoming students about the nature of the broader community. They falsely assume that minority students will feel comfortable only in their ethnic communities. Ultimately, we hope that all of Harvard’s prefrosh—both minorities and non-minorities alike—feel personally welcomed into the Harvard community. As such, we encourage the Admissions Office...
...message we can all enjoy. Yardfest’s opening act, the Upwelling, has drawn comparisons to Pink Floyd, the Police and Leonard Cohen. Commendable influences to be sure, but one wonders if the College Events Board mightn’t have chosen a group with a broader fan base: Aqua, of ”Barbie Girl” fame, leaps to mind. Apparently, the eponymous doll serves as a metaphor for soulless corporate conformity, a more resonant message with Harvard’s highbrow listeners. The choice of Third Eye Blind was made in the spirit of universality, eschewing...
