...interfere directly with fetal development. Or it may be that the mother's stress response triggers a cascade of other chemical changes - in her immune system, in blood levels of sex hormones, or perhaps in cell-signaling proteins called cytokines - that may indirectly affect early fetal development. Whatever the exact mechanism, its effects lend credence to the theory that starting early in pregnancy, "mothers transmit information to their fetus about what condition they're likely to be born into - whether they're going to be thrifty and expect to be in a relative state of starvation, for example, or whether...
...most outrageous roadblock to youth voting is that many college students’ votes come at an unfair price—a postage price to be exact. With the exception of residents of four states, students living outside of their registered district—many college students fall under this category—will be forced to pay postage on their absentee ballots. Only Hawaii, Minnesota, Nevada and West Virginia pay the return address for an absentee ballot. So what’s the problem with the systems in the other 46 states?

Although it's hard to give an exact number for the losses the company faces, they "will no doubt be substantial," Feng sighs...
...says Dr. David Sachs, a surgeon at Mass General and Harvard who led the study, is to prepare a patient's immune system well before the surgery?or, to be more exact, to deplete the immune system's T cells, which normally patrol the body looking for foreign invaders like bacteria, viruses and tissues from outside donors. Several days before the transplant surgery, Sachs' team used drugs that target and eliminate these cells to wipe the immune slate clean. Then the team transplanted the kidney along with donor bone-marrow cells. What happened next was surprising: the bone marrow rebuilt...
...University-wide semesters and holidays will start and end, through June 2015. Perish uncertainty—freshmen can take advantage of choice airfares and book their flights for spring break, March 12-20, 2011. Had the new schedule been distributed without the fanfare, only those administrators whose planning required exact knowledge of the new calendar seven years in advance would have been in the loop. That would have been no good at all. Instead, the announcement redux was The Crimson’s top story on Wednesday. Take that, Iowa.If Harvard is the House That Ego Built, then...
