...Microsoft Research, started in 1991 as the first of its kind corporate computer science research lab, may well be more dynamic than any university computer science department. That's the way Rick Rashid, the senior VP in charge who was a professor at Carnegie Mellon, designed it . "For me basic research has to be first and foremost about moving the state of the art forward in computer science. We publish in peer reviewed journals just like professors so that our research is subject to the same purity of process that a university would have," says Rashid. "It's not about...
...anomaly.Then again, HDS’s mission—“to educate women and men for service as leaders in religious life and thought”—is no less of one.Instead of submitting online résumés or signing up for research lab internships, MDiv students “discern” their Divine calling through a program that seeks to bridge the ministry and the academy.The 180 or so MDiv students at HDS are preparing for lives as many kinds of ministers, but, whether by choice or by circumstance, most of them...
While the Corps insisted that most of the bones remain in the museum, it allowed the researchers to send the skull fragments and the right hip, along with its embedded spear point, to a lab in Lincolnshire, Ill., for ultrahigh-resolution CT scanning. The process produced virtual slices just 0.39 mm (about 0.02 in.) thick - "much more detailed than the ones made of King Tut's mummy," says Owsley. The slices were then digitally recombined into 3-D computer images that were used to make exact copies out of plastic. The replica of the skull has already enabled scientists...

I got my first clue that I might be more sleep deprived than I thought in a lab run by Robert Stickgold, a cognitive neuroscientist at Harvard Medical School...
...that the casinos won’t know or care if I return.” Indeed, Liu seems out of the pit bosses’ reach here at Harvard. “I’ve certainly never seen any gambling goons with baseball bats come around the lab looking to get even,” said Brian N. Tse, a 4th year grad student and Liu’s advisee. But even if Liu says he doesn’t need to worry about “a large, one-eyed man named Vinnie” breaking...
