...typical for militaries in developed economies. Instead, the gain could come from harnessing the bright and heavily funded researchers who work either directly for the military (the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers alone has 283 Ph.D.s on staff) or for its numerous suppliers. If the military-industrial complex can design a long-range missile that travels into space and is guided by light from the stars, it has a good chance of developing new technologies that could help governments meet emission targets without making draconian cuts to energy usage. At least that's the hope. (See pictures of how climate...
What makes GM think this version will be another stud? "The design is very contemporary," says Ed Welburn, GM's chief designer. Welburn says he specifically instructed GM's stylists to retain the spirit of the old Camaro from the 1960s but not to try to replicate it. Work on the Camaro started in earnest in 2006 after GM had launched a major restructuring of its operations around the world. Consequently, Gene Stefanyshyn, the GM executive in charge of the project, moved to Australia to oversee the re-engineering of a rear-wheel-drive chassis that its Holden auto subsidiary...
...Creativity Discussion Group also incorporates monthly colloquia into its schedule, which makes the interdisciplinary application of creativity more concrete. The colloquia feature research conducted by students and faculty from Harvard and other institutions, such as Emerson College, Lesley University, and the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). Especially in the current state of economic decline, the colloquia have provided a relatively inexpensive platform for people to present their research.Last month at the inaugural colloquium, Eric Rosenbaum, a researcher at MIT, presented an interactive demonstration of technology that takes light from objects and overexposes it in real time. The technique allowed...
...film demonstrates Varda’s command behind the camera and the trust she quickly gains with her subjects. Her capturing is not passive. She challenges those she films and attacks their inconsistencies. She brings forth passion and vulnerability.At a lunch conference with students at the Graduate School of Design, Varda was asked to give advice for budding filmmakers. Like her films, which serve to question rather than provide answers, Varda responded: “No advice. No message. No certainty. No explanation. No message. I wouldn’t do that. I would say—stay alive...
...general, it has been gratifying to see HUDS being more open and transparent about its dining decisions and more receptive to student feedback. The new website design is a great improvement, with easier access to menu information and a link to HUDS executive director Ted Mayer’s blog on dining at Harvard. The blog provides detailed information on HUDS programs like the Food Literacy Project and the activities of the HUDS Student-Faculty Advisory Committee. It also posts answers to student questions about Harvard dining and indicates changes that have been made in response to student requests...
