...empty. This may be the room to which Assistant Professor of African and African American Studies Duana Fullwiley is assigned to teach African and African American Studies 199: “Delimiting Health Disparities in the African Diaspora,” but instead of staying cooped up in the classroom, she and her 18 hand-picked students are out in Boston, working with various immigrant African communities and putting to work all they have learned the first half of the semester. One of these students is African and African American Studies concentrator Tonia N. Branche...

Cohen’s youthful spirit permeates into the classroom, where undergraduate and graduate students marvel at the energy of this up-and-coming science star. Anna V. Shneidman ’09, a student in Cohen’s fall term Chemistry 163: “Frontiers in Biophysics,” noted his “enthusiasm and childlike wonder with scientific questions...
Cohen launched his teaching career at Harvard last year and began teaching Chemistry 163 in the fall of 2008 to a group of sixteen students. Currently, he is taking a break from the classroom to focus on his lab work. The Cohen lab is devoted to investigating molecules and cells using physical tools. Tucked away in the maze-like halls of Mallinckrodt, his lab is the ultimate science nerd’s dream, filled with gadgets, robots, and a 2500 pound table floating on nitrogen filled air sacs...
