According to Snider, how “social cultural beliefs and institutions interact with biology to shape human perception of illness, medical treatments, and medical practices that occur within a particular society” interest her the most. Snider, who was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa her junior spring, conducts research with psychiatry professor Jordan W. Smoller at the Psychiatric and Neurodevelopmental Genetics Unit at Harvard Medical School. Kathryn A. Brubaker ’09 said she was not surprised when she heard that her roommate was among this year’s Rhodes Scholars...

In two lightning strokes, W. provides a reference point for the Bush Administration's interrogation techniques of terrorist suspects and imagines an early example of Bush's frat...
Shteremberg, who graduated summa cum laude in computer science from Tufts this past spring, said that his undergraduate activities were probably the reason for his nomination as a Siebel Scholar. At Tufts, he organized a research symposium as the president of Eta Kappa Nu, the electrical and computer engineering honor society, and also helped to found the Tufts Wireless Laboratory, where he developed the Body Sensor Network, which can detect human activity...
