...teach key scientific concepts” and “impart an understanding of the methods and process of scientific research, discovery, and invention.” Nevertheless, such a philosophy is only as good as its application. For example, the report’s citation of Molecular and Cellular Biology 60, “Ethics, Biotechnology, and the Future of Human Nature”—which last year could be petitioned to count for the current Moral Reasoning requirement—as an acceptable scientific general education course is dubious at best. In our view, such...
...percent committed to the idea of maintaining Harvard’s excellence in the core disciplines,” said Murray, who heads the molecular and cellular biology department. One of the committee’s recommendations says that Harvard should “continue to invest in core disciplines...

The other is FGF1, a growth factor that promotes the creation of new blood vessels...
...composer of the World Premiere of Concertino for Cell Phones and Orchestra, David Baker, a professor of music at Indiana University, says he wanted to illustrate how cellular phones create both order and disorder in our society.

...plate, but its functions are thoroughly space age. By lowering atmospheric pressure, it brings liquids to boil at temperatures much lower than normal - 55?C for water, 80?C for oil - while still cooking more quickly than traditional vacuum cookers. Lower temperatures and shorter cooking times keep the cellular structure - as well as the color, texture and nutrients - of foods intact...
