...help reduce these avoidable deaths, the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna unveiled a new warning symbol on Feb. 15 to label potentially fatal radiation sources, such as those found in food irradiators or machines for cancer treatment. Unlike the original trefoil, which was first developed by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, in the 1940s, the new warning was tested to ensure it's universally understood. Starting in 2001, researchers showed a series of motifs to 1,650 adults and children, many of them illiterate, in 11 different countries. The red background conveys danger; a skull and crossbones...

But the challenge beyond then could be formidable, and few people have...
...Extracurricular activity is a Harvard success story,” claims the Task Force on General Education’s latest report, and rightly so. To capitalize on that success, the report goes on to reason, why not develop an initiative to “help students see how what they learn in class informs what they do outside of class and vice versa?” Witness the birthing of “activity-based learning,” the misbegotten pedagogical stepchild of the recent curricular review...
