...team including researchers from Harvard Medical School have discovered a genetic marker for schizophrenia, according to a paper published Tuesday in the journal Molecular Psychology. The data was collected using Whole Genome Association (WGA)—a new technology that allowed the scientists to study all the possible variations of each gene, rather than just one or two at a time. “WGA permits us to examine 500,000 SNPs [genetic variations] across the entire genome in a single test,” said Todd Lencz, the first author of the study. The discovery was a joint...
...ridiculously proficient at three-pointers that many hoops afficianados argue that the line needs to be moved back further, from its current location of 19-ft, 9-in. from the basket to either the international 20-ft., 6-in. foot line or pros' most challenging 23-ft., 9-in. marker.

She passed out construction-paper sheets, each bearing either the name of a virtuous group or its reward, in black marker. "And you've got to find the person who has the other half.

Known over the world for their insight and intelligence, Harvard students got the chance to wow one another when HUDS armed them with a blank white board, a vague prompt—“Nutrition is...”—and a dry erase marker. True to form, all sorts of originality exploded into print. In some cases, they exploded a little too much—the board in Cabot had to be removed due to vandalism. Knowing that die-hard Quadlings take nutrition to the extreme, FM set out to see what other houses...
...benefits of the good life without all the headaches and commitment. In 1991, for example, 57% of people in a Yankelovich Monitor survey cited "being in control of their life" as the most important sign of accomplishment and success, while 38% said an expensive car was such a marker for them. By 2003, however, 76% thought being in control was a sign of success, while only 23% thought that an expensive...
