...begin cautionary treatment for the skin disease. Students reporting rashes first came to University Health Services (UHS) early Saturday afternoon, and administrators notified students of the outbreak shortly thereafter. Scabies, a highly contagious but treatable skin disease, is caused by mites that burrow under the skin and lay egg, spread through direct skin-to-skin contact between people or through clothes and bedding. The disease leaves a rash or tiny blisters or bumps on the skin, though symptoms may not appear for 4 to 6 weeks after exposure. “At first I was really worried about getting...
...chairs have expired, this is all perfectly legal. Thanks to U.K. design rights law - which holds that the rights on a design last a maximum of 25 years, instead of 70 as in much of Europe - British furniture stores and websites are legitimately selling copies of the Egg chair, for example, for a fraction of the original's $5,000 price tag. "A commercial decision was taken to use some reproduction similar chairs," Lorraine Homer, spokeswoman for McDonald's in the U.K., tells TIME via e-mail. "Whilst we wish to continue placing Fritz Hansen chairs at some restaurants, using...
...McDonald's approached us some six months ago to help revitalize and revamp their European restaurants," Fritz Hansen CEO Jacob Holm told TIME in Copenhagen.

Approximately 2,500 of those chairs have already been sold...

It’s a standing ovation.” Fittingly, his words were met with just that...
Assistant Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology Kevin C. Eggan expressed frustration at a major stem cell conference on Tuesday about a Massachussetts law that creates roadblocks to medical research. Eggan lamented a state policy that limits access to human eggs by forbidding researchers from compensating women for egg donation. Since its inception in 2004, the Harvard Stem Cell Institute has not obtained a single egg from an eligible donor. Eggan left town immediately after the conference ended yesterday and could not be reached for additional comment. B.D. Colen, Harvard’s senior communications officer for University science, said...
