Following four trips to the Arctic Circle and close to five years of research on the narwhal, Martin T. Nweeia, a clinical instructor at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, has discovered new information about the sensory abilities of the whale’s tusk. Nweeia discovered that the narwhal tusk is equipped with 10 million sensory endings that have the capability to detect changes in water temperature, pressure, osmotic gradients, and motion. According to Nweeia’s website, www.narwhal.org, the tusk is actually a tooth, shaped like a spiraled rod, which projects out of the male?...
...have been increasing, the number of flu deaths decreased by 30 percent, according to the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). Nowak, however, maintains that this increase in population accounts was one of the reasons for the 2003 increase. John Abramson, a clinical instructor at the Harvard Medical School who provided some guidance throughout Doshi’s research, said the “public information about influenza is driving people towards remedies [like flu vaccines] that may not be very effective.” David S. Rosenthal, director of University Health Services, said that...
