...wrote.AN INTERDISCIPLINARY PIONEERMany of the interdisciplinary science initiatives existing at the University today—including SCRB—are the brainchild of a faculty committee convened during the Summers presidency to examine potential shortcomings in Harvard’s research efforts. The group proposed the establishment of cross-school departments to facilitate interdisciplinary science research in areas such as stem cell biology. “SCRB was the first one to be established, which was logical given that the Harvard Stem Cell Institute had been an incredible success,” Colen said in an interview...
...figure out which treatments are most effective. This seems eminently sensible: might certain heart patients, for example, do just as well with clot-busting drugs as with more expensive angioplasty procedures? The drug route could save about $7000 a patient Crunching huge amounts of data from a wide cross section of patients could help us do better research than we are doing now. But what will happen when the new computerized research turns up a treatment that works a little better but costs much more? Will they tell us? What happens to the patient whose particular circumstances argue...
Some trades are cross-country, but others are within the same town. Consider the case of Christopher and Melissa Petrocco and Lyca Shan. The Petroccos began feeling cramped in the three-bedroom town house they shared with their two boys in Alpharetta, Ga. Eight miles away, Shan was living alone in a 3,300-sq.-ft. (307 sq m) home that was becoming too expensive and time-consuming to maintain. Though both parties had listed their home with a real estate agent--the Petroccos for two years, Shan for three months--they were unable to sell and had resigned themselves...

A statue? A cross? An ironclad? There was nothing anywhere. A church foyer had never been so ruthless!Then I saw him. Next to the Easter egg crucifix stood Marshall Pellet. He would shield me from her. But was he alone? Too late to wait! I grabbed my skirt and charged. In the blur...
...ironic that a faculty that promotes collaboration and cross discipline communication so often tells students how much they do know, instead of teaching them what they don’t. This mentality only douses the incentive to learn from others, creating students without humility and perpetuating insular behavior and close-mindedness...
