...market. “02138 will fare well; but as to the fortunes of Harvard Magazine, I’m certain that 02138 will be a boat that leaves no wake,” said Bradley, who is a graduate of Harvard Business School. In an effort to distinguish 02138 from its rival, Kim said that he hopes the magazine will become “the Vanity Fair” of alumni publications. If its preview issue is any indication, 02138 will be less academic and more provocative in its journalistic approach. That teaser issue featured an alumni poll...
...answer, however ironic, to this new-aged gender trouble. If you’ve ever seen two partners really “getting jiggy with it”—legs intertwined and faces covered—you’ve also noticed how difficult it is to distinguish the girl from the guy. So physically erotic, it’s apparently sexless. This type of dancing neither requires lessons nor calls for leaders. It’s equality at its best, free expression in the flesh, rhythmic recognition of our rights. Why then, does bumping and grinding still...
...evolution and that an “intelligent designer” must have guided the process. The Kansas Education Board recently voted to teach alternatives to evolution in the state’s science classes. Both professors said their courses will critically examine this viewpoint and teach students to distinguish between what they refer to as “science and psuedoscience.” John W. Hoopes, an associate professor of anthropology at Kansas who received a doctorate from Harvard in 1987, will teach a course next fall entitled Anthropology 210, “Archaeological Myths and Realities...
...condition found that patients who go on to develop Alzheimer's show telltale signs--lapses in memory, reasoning, problem-solving ability, verbal fluency and attention skills--years before the disease is diagnosed. Such symptoms could serve as warning signals, say experts, but doctors need better screening tools to distinguish those changes from the decline in brain function that occurs naturally with age. Meanwhile, University of Southern California researchers found that inflammation caused by lost or loose teeth, and the resulting infection, can quadruple the risk of developing Alzheimer's. Treating those inflammatory episodes could help stave off the disease...
...will allow us to build a research group second to none,” Kosslyn wrote. At age 35, Buckner is considered to be the best researcher of his age group in the field, Kosslyn wrote, and is also unusually young to be awarded tenure at Harvard. Buckner has distinguished himself through innovative research techniques in fMRI and his work on the brain and memory. In one study, Buckner found that it was possible to predict, on average, what new information a research subject would remember later by observing certain pathways in brain functioning. Buckner said in an interview yesterday...
