...Gehrig's disease, with the goal of blocking the protein from misfolding in the first place. "It's just the most awful disease, and the most challenging," says Cashman, who runs an ALS clinic in Vancouver, where he is research chairman of neurology at the University of British Columbia's department of medicine. "It may sound trite, but I want to make a difference, and this is my calling...
Let’s get something clear: the dialogue during the Harvard University Band (HUB) halftime show is supposed to be a joke...at least in that dorky, “I-go-to-Harvard” kind of way.

...intercollegiate game of “football,” which bore a striking resemblance to soccer. Meanwhile, Harvard had been playing their own version, based roughly on the rules of rugby. Ever the football snobs, Harvard declined an invitation to hash out official rules for the game alongside Columbia, Princeton, Rutgers and Yale. It wasn’t until 1874, when Harvard played against McGill University, that the birth of intercollegiate football was officially recognized. Harvard’s elitism won out in 1875 in the first Harvard-Yale match-up. Yale was forced to concede to Harvard?...
