...harder scourge to control. The parasite that causes it is tough and versatile, and the pest that delivers it - the mosquito - is everywhere. "There has never been a vaccine against any human parasite," says Joe Cohen, a vice president of R&D at GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) biologicals. "It's an extra challenge with malaria due to the complexity of the parasite, its ability to evade the immune system and our almost constant exposure to it." The result: 247 million malaria cases worldwide and almost 1 million deaths per year - the overwhelming majority of them infants and small children. (See TIME...
...Harvard women’s swimming and diving team faced its toughest competition of the young season this weekend, as the squad split for two major invitationals. The extra challenge pushed the Crimson to its fastest swims of the year. “It was probably the best weekend for meets that we’ve ever had, by far,” Harvard coach Stephanie Morawski said. Sophomores Kate Mills and Katherine Pickard led the way as nine school records fell, as the swimmers shared the pool with nationally-ranked competition at the annual Georgia Invitational.The divers stayed closer...

Rose and Caram Costanzo produced...
...Undergraduate Council (UC) Election Commission lengthened this year’s presidential campaign from four days to 11, giving student government hopefuls an extra week to preen and be vetted before polls open on Dec. 12. In the face of last year’s dismal voter turnout, the extension of the campaigning period for UC candidates is undoubtedly a good thing. With a sufficiently large student body, it is hard for any candidate to be known widely enough on campus for all students to make an informed voting decision. Freshmen have had only three months to meet other students?...
