...mid-October.West left Harvard in 2002 after a highly publicized tiff with then-University President Lawrence H. Summers. Departing for Princeton—where he was once a graduate student—he took a post as Class of 1943 University Professor of Religion. And while Princeton announced plans to establish a Center for African American Studies last week, the New Jersey school may lose a valued academic in the field. “Last spring, it was the subject of conversation, and we definitely want him back,” Professor of Anthropology and of Af-Am J.

Harvard announced Tuesday that it received $7.5 million from the Kavli Foundation to establish a new institute dedicated to exploring the interface between biology and nanotechnology. The new Kavli Institute for Bionano Science and Technology will support postdoctoral fellows as well as a lecture series in bionanoscience, a relatively young but rapidly expanding field that examines life on the nano-scale. “Understanding life at the smallest levels could offer dramatic changes in both basic biology and, on a more mundane level, transform a trip to the doctor’s office,” according...

...London trial is among the first large-scale efforts to determine whether stem cells - building blocks of the body that have the potential to become new cell types - will someday provide cures for debilitating diseases and disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and arthritis. No single study is expected to establish that definitively, but Mathur's is an important step in a multipronged approach encompassing basic science research and clinical trials, including work on human embryonic stem cells. Europe has become an increasingly important base for that cutting-edge research, particularly as American and Asian efforts endure setbacks. The Bush Administration...
...ground against Georgetown in Week One, the Bears carried the ball 16 times fewer against the Crimson.Not surprisingly, that means they threw 14 more passes—not the winning formula for DiGiacomo and the passing game.“We didn’t even try [to establish the run], to be honest with you,” Estes said. “We got ourselves behind, we looked and we saw that we were going to be in a struggle here, and I think we as coaches panicked on offense and decided to throw the ball...
