...States, bioengineering represents a logical interdisciplinary trend that science—and academia in general—has taken in the last decade or so. 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.

He says a partygoer, noticing him, commented, "Oh my God, I can't believe there's a nigger here." When Taylor turned to go, one student threw a beer can at him and some others pushed him down the stairs. In the ensuing weeks, he says many students suggested that by going to "their party" - meaning one for whites only - he had been looking for trouble...
