Snacking on green ants is not everyone's idea of the most delicious holiday indulgence. But on a recent walk through the Daintree rain forest in Far North Queensland, Australia, Aboriginal guide Keely Naden assured a group of uncertain guests that the traditional food source of her Kuku Yalanji tribe was worth...
...Expos at 11 a.m. But for the select few in Freshman Seminar 21w, the journey to class is a little more rugged. Their class is jointly taught by Dr. David R. Foster and Mother Nature herself, deep in the heart of the Harvard forest. A forest, you say? Yes, my child, a forest. Indeed, in 1907, Harvard bought a forest, and soon added a museum, colonial farmhouses, and, most importantly, DSL. According to Forest Director Dr. David R. Foster—whose last name is “coincidentally” an anagram of forest—this forest...
Researchers announced Tuesday the successful integration of laboratory-grown urinary bladders into patients, signalling a breakthrough in a field beset with hardship and controversy. According to a report released by the British journal The Lancet, scientists from Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School used cell samples of a patient’s bladder to re-grow the full-sized organ before surgically inserting it above the old one. “This is one small step in our ability to go forward in replacing damaged tissues and organs,” said Anthony Atala, director...

It's also the perfect setting for those who like their outdoor experiences spiked with adrenaline: harnessed and helmeted nature lovers can whiz through the Tsitsikamma's treetops by strapping themselves onto a web of steel cables threaded through the forest canopy. Biologists...
...Volta, which is now defunct, Batali learned the basics--handmade pastas; slowly cooked Bolognese sauce; wild mushrooms, greens and berries foraged from the forest floor and served nearly unadorned the same day. In 1993, when Batali helped launch his first restaurant, P, he brought that unaffected Italian sensibility to downtown Manhattan. (He also needlessly added an accent mark to the name of Italy's Po River.) "He was doing some things so simple--things like affogato, which is gelato [Italian ice cream] with a shot of espresso in it. It's a classic in Italian restaurants, but I had never...
