...terminals at Boston’s Logan Airport. Now, he’s been charged with the task of bringing Harvard’s dream campus into being. Gordon, 43, who reports directly to University President Lawrence H. Summers, was hired last September to head up the Allston Development Group, a new body in the administration that will push the designs of the new campus off paper and into the ground. After years of planning, the University took its first concrete steps into Allston this semester when it announced the location of the first structure to be built...
...neither broad surveys nor narrowly-focused courses, according to Tatar. The courses, a “hybrid” of these two extremes, are meant to cross boundaries between disciplines, she said. Rather than waiting for Curricular Review legislation to restructure general education requirements, Tatar said she wanted to develop widely accessible humanities courses geared toward underclassmen. “These will be courses that bridge between the Core and whatever we have when we have it,” Tatar said. Most of the courses are not fully developed yet, but a few will likely be launched next year...

The palace already works to include more ethnic minorities and representatives of non-Christian faiths in the Queen's events, but can be expected to do more of this. Another area the Queen can develop is what Frank Prochaska, a Yale historian, calls the "welfare monarchy": the royal family assisting charities and groups that help the disadvantaged. British monarchs have been doing this since at least Victoria; the Queen is already patron of 620 voluntary organizations. The trick for the royals here is to avoid...
...Harvard suggests that a vast majority of evolutionary pathways for organisms are closed off by natural selection. Daniel M. Weinreich, a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, headed a study—published in the journal Science last week—of the development of antibiotic resistance in E. coli. In particular, the scientists studied five point mutations that increases anti-biotic resistance in bacteria by five orders of magnitude. Since the overall mutation requires five sequential steps, there are 120 pathways from the initial, unresistant bacteria to the later drug-resistant bacteria. The study...
...develop this next proposal, Riley said she plans to meet with former UC members to gain their perspective, invite students and student groups to attend UC general meetings in order to share their views, and work with UC committees...
