...graduate with a joint degree in law and the fine arts. “Because of my interest in neuroscience, I originally planned to go to medical school,” says Musico. “But then I realized that researching science and music in a lab would not keep me connected to the theater community.”With a joint degree in law and the fine arts, Musico believes he would be better connected to the artistic world. After graduating, he hopes to create a non-profit organization that will provide legal services to theater performers...
...brother John is Director of National Intelligence and delivers daily briefings to the President. But Nicholas Negroponte, 62, is trying to reach a far more challenging audience: the world's poorest children. The co-founder of M.I.T.'s Media Lab and former Wired columnist took a leave from academia last year to build a computer--a laptop so cheap that developing countries could buy them by the millions to help their kids leapfrog into the 21st century...
...cooperation increases, and Harvard would be the best place to do that,” Aizenberg says in a phone interview from her office in New Jersey. Aizenberg’s research focuses on the structures of biological materials. She then tries to replicate their design in the lab using engineering techniques. “The idea is to take biologic principles, understand them, and then try to resimulate it...and come up with a new, synthetic, man-made material that replicates these biological principles,” Aizenberg says. “I am looking at these smart biological...
...Foreign Service officers who understood the country's tribal allegiances, or who at least knew a Sunni from a Shia. What CPA seemed to be getting were people anxious to set up a Baghdad stock exchange, try out a flat-tax system, and impose other elements of a lab-school democratic- capitalist social structure. One of my officers returned from a trip to Iraq a month or two after CPA had taken over and told me, "Boss, that place runs like a graduate school seminar, none of them speaks Arabic, almost nobody's ever been to an Arab country...
...represents a huge drop in cost from the HGP, which finished in 2003 and cost $3 billion. The $1,000-threshold is important, says professor of genetics George M. Church, because at that point it becomes economical for many individuals to have their genomes sequenced. Church’s lab develops less expensive sequencing technologies and instruments, and he told me this week that he expects that, by the end of 2007, $1,000 will be the cost of sequencing 90 percent of coding DNA. (A disclosure: Church is my former professor and research advisor...
