...newspaper journalists is not so much of a problem for us--it’s what they represent and how we think they might grow and make their mark in the years ahead." The fellowship program enables working journalists to spend a year at Harvard pursuing a specific field of study, participating in various seminars, and attending special events. “The [fellows] are specialists in covering certain areas of the world or the country, and Harvard has a lot of experts and researchers in their field who would love to work with them,” Giles said...
...best suited for materials that do not stiffen. His technique yielded high-quality data and made it possible for researchers to discover the origin of the protein interactions that caused stiffening in neurofilaments. “This is a new approach likely to be helpful to many in the fields of biology, biophysics and bioengineering,” said Rosalind A. Segal, a neurobiology professor and the director of the science program at the Radcliffe Institute, in a press release issued by the Institute. Yao’s senior thesis is based on four manuscripts, of which...
Stem-cell science is a fast-moving field. Just three years since a Japanese researcher first reprogrammed ordinary skin cells into stem cells without the use of embryos, scientists at a Massachusetts biotech company have repeated the feat, only this time with a new method that creates the first stem cells safe enough for human use. The achievement brings the potentially lifesaving technology one step closer to real treatments for disease...
...Qaeda - they sought more conventional enemies. Attention quickly - too quickly - shifted from Afghanistan to Iraq. And then, once the conventional armored push to Baghdad was completed, the ongoing war effort became - amazingly - a bureaucratic orphan. "Every time we tried to do something for the troops in the field in both Afghanistan and Iraq, we had to go outside the regular Pentagon bureaucracy to get it done," Gates recalled. "For example, there was no institutional home" for figuring out how to combat roadside bombs - but there were plenty of people working on how to counter missiles from North Korea...
Cradled in her mother's arms, inside a tent on the edge of a field, is Pakistan's youngest refugee. Aman, a baby girl, was born just days after her parents fled last month's fighting in the Buner valley. As the Pakistani military moved in to push back against Taliban fighters edging closer to the capital, the family traveled in the opposite direction, across the mountains that form a backdrop to the camp in which they now live. They are among an estimated 2.4 million Pakistanis who have been displaced, marking a refugee crisis on a scale comparable...
