...warped speed” for six months, from initial tissue engineering to creating the original design of the device to microfabricating it in the University’s Center for Nanoscale Systems cleanroom. Parker praised the project as a “tour de force of engineering??far beyond what we train.” Chelsea S. Simmons ’06 and Robert J. Everett ’06 tied for second place, applying their engineering skills to create projects that would improve surgical techniques. Working with DePuy Spine, a Massachusetts-based company dedicated to the manufacture...
...thinks Gordon is sincere about listening to residents.“I feel very supported, and that he understands completely how important it is to have the stakeholders in Allston as much a part of the process as the stakeholders within the University,” she says. BEYOND ENGINEERING??Gordon, who was raised on the grounds of Maine’s Fryeburg Academy, where his parents were dorm masters and where he currently serves on the Board of Trustees, says he is comfortable returning to an academic setting full-time.“It?...
...will store in a new research facility under construction just north of the Science Center, in response to resident complaints. In a letter dated yesterday, Harvard’s Director of Environmental Health and Safety Joseph Griffin said the quantity of arsine at the Laboratory for Integrated Science and Engineering??set to be completed early next year—would not exceed two pounds. “We do not envision having more than a cylinder or two on premise at any point in time,” Griffin wrote in the letter, addressed to Captain Gerard...
...spokesman Robert Mitchell would not comment on construction costs, citing FAS policy, and the amount by which various projects exceeded initial estimates remains unclear.Linda Snyder, the associate dean of physical resources and planning, acknowledged that the costs are in the hundreds of millions. The Laboratory for Integrated Science and Engineering??a part of the broader North Yard science complex—is currently expected to cost $150 million, according to the capital projects manager, Steve Smith. The CGIS complex that opened recently cost about $140 million, said Government Department Chair Nancy L. Rosenblum, who noted she could...
While Summers’ remarks were overblown by the mainstream media, the claims he made certainly merited some controversy. At the conference—which was on women and minorities in the sciences and engineering??he suggested some possible reasons for why there are fewer women in the sciences, ranging from women’s focus on family to the possibility that women’s brains are wired differently, giving them a disadvantage in science and math. These suggestions were taken from the studies of other scientists, but the potential veracity of the statements does not make...
