Logan P. McCarty ’96 leads a double life. For the last four years, his day job as the head teaching fellow for Chemistry 5: “Introduction for Principles of Chemistry?? has made him famous among pre-meds, who laud him for his fun teaching style and know him only as the TF who concludes the final lectures with a song. But in between balancing chemical equations and teaching first-years the solubility equilibrium, McCarty’s found time to pursue his other passion—opera...
McCarty’s passion for music extends to his days as an undergraduate, when the chemistry concentrator—who taught sections for the Harvard Extension School’s versions of Chem. 5 and Chemistry 7: “Principles of Chemistry??—sang as a member of the Glee Club. Even after graduating and entering a master’s program in the chemistry department, McCarty sang with the group and stayed close to the Harvard community as a resident tutor in Eliot House...
...department plans to do away with both Chemistry 10, “Accelerated Course in Foundations of Chemistry,” and Chemistry 40, “Inorganic Chemistry??—merging elements of each to form a new course, Chemistry...
While we’re busy siphoning off money from soft sciences like “physics” and “chemistry?? you may fear that we are ignoring an even more neglected group: the Dwarf Studies Department. The fairy tale “Rumpelstiltskin” or dwarf cinema classic Willow would be perfect for conference courses. And what about the effects of dwarfish imperialism on Keebler elf poetry? The philosopher race that are the Oompa-Loompas? The lines of intellectual inquiry are almost endless...
...post-Core world, this means that the distribution requirement in the sciences must make available courses intended for non-science concentrators. Chemistry 10: “Foundations of Chemistry?? may be helpful for students continuing in the sciences (and certainly would qualify for distribution credit), but basic chemistry does not produce scientifically literate citizens. Instead, non-science concentrators should have access to small, strong courses that will help them understand the context of future breaking research...
