...Robert J. Everett ’06 tied for second place, applying their engineering skills to create projects that would improve surgical techniques. Working with DePuy Spine, a Massachusetts-based company dedicated to the manufacture of orthopedic devices, Simmons developed a pedicle screw system for osteoporotic bone, what McKay Professor of Engineering Robert D. Howe calls “an amazingly original idea.” This device would be used in patients who undergo spinal fusion, the most common surgical remedy for back pain, according to Simmons’ abstract. Because older patients often suffer from low bone density...
...multidisciplinary; we serve all art forms,” says Cathleen McCormick, director of programs at the OFA. “Systems Biology is multidisciplinary; it’s a new field in Biology.”Faculty members seem to agree. David A. Edwards, Gordon McKay professor of biomedical engineering at the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences, says, “I am convinced that the work Brian is doing is very important both for the creative expression that Brian’s work represents itself, and more generally as an expression of the very rich dialog that...
...article, Harvard no longer teaches students many of the fundamentals of a “liberal education”—and today’s Harvard education lacks a “common thread” that guided it in centuries past. Lewis, who is the McKay professor of computer science and a Harvard College professor, noted that Harvard is not the only university moving away from the ideal of a liberal education, but he faulted the institution’s leadership for not resisting the current trends in higher education, such as the modern consumer culture...
