...thesis research. For general advice on grant applications, undergraduates can turn to the Office of Career Services (OCS). According to Adonica Lui, the assistant director for fellowships at OCS, the office has several informational meetings about how to write a proposal, how to choose a fellowship, and how to develop a budget. But the fellowships office is not the best place to turn for close, individual attention. Lui says that because she and the other fellowship director sit on selection committees, they are unable to help students with specific applications. Instead, Lui says, “the Houses...
...which were good enough for the best on the team. “We’re working with her more on being a strong contact hitter,” Allard says. “more line drives, more hard ground balls, more base hits, draw more walks, develop her eye more, reinvent her swing a little bit.” As Murphy works on her offensive game, Harvard strives to defend its title. If last season is any indicator, the two outcomes are closely connected. “Her impact has affected the team in a number of ways...
...lineup will make a huge impact—especially on defense. Second, the leadership abilities of Harvard’s three seniors will determine how prepared this squad is to face the grind of a long 45-game schedule. And lastly, the toughness the Crimson is able to develop from playing in challenging early-season tournaments will establish if the players are able to fight hard enough to get through the unpredictable road that is the Ivy season. FAB FOURWhen it arrived at Harvard, the softball class of 2011 was lucky enough to become part of the reigning Ivy League...
...world conditions, because the timing and trajectory of the target "incoming" missiles are known beforehand to those trying to shoot them down. These test "attacking" missiles also don't deploy accompanying decoys designed to confuse any interceptors. Pentagon officials say today's system is needed because rogue states might develop their missiles in secret, and fire them at the U.S. without testing. Each of those questionable assumptions makes it less likely that the missiles would work, but missile-defense boosters say that risk can't be ignored...
...Research Service, addressing the same hearing of the House government reform committee's national-security panel, emphasized the epic technological challenge involved in building a nuclear-tipped, ocean-spanning missile. In the past half-century, only five nations - the U.S., Britain, China, France and Russia - have managed to successfully develop, and then integrate, the requisite propulsion, guidance, reentry and warhead systems. "The long history of ICBMs demonstrates that such success took considerable resources in time, funding, knowledge, infrastructure, organization and national commitment," Hildreth said. "It's this aspect of it that, I think, is lacking in so many...
