...four reports recommended the development of an integrated campus in Allston anchored by science, professional schools and undergraduate housing. Over the next 12 to 18 months, the planning team will take these recommendations—as well as the recommendations of a neighborhood task force—and develop scenarios for the location of buildings, the use of open space, connections to the local community and methods of transportation between the two sides of the Charles River...
...labs save all urine samples to prevent athletes from staying one step ahead of the authorities by using ever newer steroids and masking agents. "They could preserve the sample," he says. "Take a sample after every athlete wins a major race or sets a world record. And as you develop new tests, test a portion. If the athlete cheated, you can always take back the record. You can always take back the victory." But that solution overlooks one important thing: you can't take back the time sports fans may have spent watching steroid-tainted athletes...
...endangered Hubble Space Telescope may have life yet, thanks to a NASA-sponsored program to develop a robot that could be its remote-control savior. For all the yeoman's work Hubble has done--peering deeper into the universe and farther back in time than eyes or earthbound instruments had ever managed--its prospects looked bleak a few months ago. The telescope was facing eventual loss of power and gyroscope failure, which would cut short its life-span by years. But given President Bush's ambitious plans for a manned moon and Mars program, NASA was looking for projects...
...your report "What Makes Teens Tick" aptly illustrated [May 10], science is catching up to what parents and teachers already know: teenagers' brains are different from adults'. The ability to make adult judgments comes later, as different parts of the brain develop. That is why our legal system does not allow people under 18 to vote, serve on juries or enjoy many of the other privileges and responsibilities of adults. It is also why juries are more and more unwilling to impose death sentences on juvenile offenders and why 31 states prohibit the practice. As we learn more from science...
...thinkers such as Shakespeare and Descartes, while Stanford’s program has a more international bend, including texts such as the Koran, Bhagavad Gita and the Ramayana. The programs also put a premium on teaching quality by incorporating small weekly seminars with faculty. Harvard should work to develop a similar program...
