Skeptics warn against too much giddy hope that damaged spines will become whole anytime soon. Treatments may be many years off, they caution, and only incrementally helpful--restoring wrist motion to a person who has none, for example. Most researchers, though, are more optimistic. Over the course of 10 years, they say, the riddles of the cord have been solved. The question now is not what the treatments for an injured spine should be, but how best to implement them. At hospitals such as the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and the University of Florida, human trials are already getting under...
...caution students and administrators to understand that a prohibition on selling work or aid to others, however, is not a prohibition on sharing knowledge between students. Copying lecture notes for a friend who missed class or gathering to prepare for a midterm by reviewing the readings and positing potential questions should not represent a violation of this policy. Harvard has very specific rules governing the collaboration of students on assigned work, but sharing notes does not and should not fall under the category of doing concrete work that will be submitted for another...
...this is exactly where Bradley puts Gore in a box. Bradley dismisses Gore for his caution, and all but points to the centerfield fence as he steps up to the plate. "If we can muster the will and create the technology to put a man on the moon in a decade," he declared in his poverty speech last week, "then surely...we can eliminate child poverty as we know it." Bradley at times seems less proud of his actual proposals than his sheer willingness to make them: "I believe we have the methods," he said. "The question...
...Nerve asks the Harvard student: Is the scorn of roommates and friends worth the intellectual stimulation gained through thoughtful consideration over the course of a 2,200-word article about the psychological impact of pubic hair removal? Decide for yourself and log on to Nerve, but proceed with caution...
Researchers hope that by studying the mammoth's genetic makeup they can discover why the species became extinct. But the real fun lies in the thought of watching a mammoth ? or a mammoth-cum-elephant ? rumbling over the plains. As for that possibility, scientists caution that the chance we?ll see one of these creatures in living, breathing form anytime soon remains remote. After all, there?s no certainty that after 23 millennia, the beast?s sperm will be potent, and in any case cloning is very rarely successful. The one sure bet is that Steven Spielberg has already reserved...
