During his short-lived tenure as dean, Michel oversaw the addition of several cross-listed course offerings to the curriculum and created the Leder Human Biology and Translational Medicine Program, a Ph.D. program in the life sciences...

David Auburn’s Pulitzer-Prize winning drama is being performed at the Loeb Experimental Theater through tomorrow in an effort to bring the play’s relevance to campus. “Being here [at Harvard], I’ve met so many interesting characters,” says Lodha...

At best it allows room to imagine what subatomic particles do, but that has nothing to do with what humans...
