...high school, he and a friend worked in a lab to build a biosensor to detect different biomolecules. Though Jain said he initially thought he would concentrate in engineering, he soon realized he preferred the basic sciences...

Cohen ’01, who heads the lab where Jain works, said that the project was inspired by a phenomenon on a larger scale—birds’ ability to navigate using the magnetic field of the earth. While it is unclear how the birds detect the magnetic field, some scientists have suggested that a biochemical process in their bodies is affected by these forces...
...he’s basically just like any of the grad students in the lab,” Cohen said...

When I visit Fryer at his Harvard lab this spring, he hands me an agenda for the day and proudly introduces me to his team. For the next three hours, as we talk about the experiment, Fryer is charming and intense, occasionally lapsing into economist speak and then apologizing for being a "nerd...
