...Scientists already knew that similar to the way a fingertip moves across a surface, the 50 or so hairs on a rat's cheek vibrate against an object to perceive its shape and texture. The video technology revealed the fluid micromotions of the whiskers, which send signals to the brain where they're interpreted as a sensory experience. What's more, the scientists were also able to study how different kinds of whiskers transmit different kinds of sensations. Short hairs, which are located on the front of the snout, transmit higher frequencies and vibrate fastest, while longer whiskers, which...
...doing theatre should audition for BlackCAST. I think that’s all important for everyone.”TAKING AN ACTIVE STEPBlackCAST is not a fringe group, nor is it the sole outlet for minority actors on campus; it’s a much more fluid organization. However, its function within the Harvard community remains a pressing issue. Even after 47 years, BlackCAST mingles very little with HRDC. So how can it be better incorporated into the mainstream campus theatre community?“I’m a big fan of flipping the questions, because I think...
...SEAS must fulfill a unique role—with many of the same priorities as the president or provost of a small engineering college in the midst of a “fundamentally liberal arts institution.”Knowles emphasized Venky’s ability to maintain fluid lines of communication between departments at SEAS, allowing those with a “more eclectic view of life” to enjoy intellectual diversity within SEAS and the University as a whole. “We will not be big like MIT,” Venky said...
...death of its author on the 27th of December. As such it is a fitting monument to an incomplete life. Jagged and harrowing references to the October 19th bombing of her welcome home rally in Karachi, in which some 150 died, are inserted almost randomly into otherwise fluid prose that was written long before. The ubiquitous references to terrorism, however, underscore an important point. As a Muslim, and a victim, Bhutto is uniquely poised to present to her audience an impassioned plea for understanding. The war we should all be worrying about is not between Islam and the West...
...half centuries, Ockham's razor has demonstrated its power across all disciplines. We figured out that infinitesimal viruses existed long before we could see them, simply by filtering the bigger bacteria out of infectious fluid and finding that it still made lab rats sick. Economics relies on Ockham too. The very best way to increase tax revenue is - sorry to say - to increase taxes. And criminal lawyers absolutely love Ockham: Motive, opportunity and your fingerprints on a weapon don't always mean you did it, but they do often enough that, odds are, you're going away for a reason...
