He had five cases, also traced to bagged spinach, and wondered if anyone else in the country had been reporting E. coli illnesses. The information was added to CDC's database, and after comparing the lab work done in the two states, says Griffin, the CDC realized the cases could be traced to the same subtype of E. coli, which suggested that the illnesses had a common cause - bagged spinach. After more investigation on Thursday to confirm the source, including trying to come up with...
...from the ground up by a cadre of Harvard professors hailing from a swath of “science-y” disciplines, these courses integrate the aspects of biology and chemistry that you’ll actually find in the real world—not just in a lab or a theorist’s head. Because of the courses’ interdisciplinary nature, they are taught by a group of fully-tenured faculty members (five for 1a, four for 1b) who, despite all their prestige, are actually interested in teaching and talking to students.

Weekly quizzes involve quantitative reasoning, but not being a science buff won’t hurt too much—prior...
