U.S. collectibles company the Franklin Mint has a catalog that reads like a Who's Who of scale-model celebrity, from Marilyn Monroe to Jackie Onassis. Lady Di - at $195 a doll - outsells them all. A private company, the Franklin Mint won't say how many of the dolls it has sold. (The U.S. firm had a long legal battle, now settled, with the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund over...
...these simulators don't come cheap. Approved by the FAA (and sometimes also by the Joint Aviation Authorities in Europe), each simulator has digitized versions of the 85 largest airports in the world, runs on the equivalent processing power of 500 Xboxes and does everything the same model aircraft would do. Being able to safely navigate through low visibility and a ceiling of 800 ft. or to land smoothly after a fire in the left wing's engine prepares pilots for their first experience piloting an actual aircraft, which could be loaded with passengers...

These organizations—such as Harvard Model Congress, the Harvard College Democrats, and The Crimson—provide invaluable social outlets for those students who prefer to skip the bi-weekly parade through the mansions on Mount Auburn Street...

While new for the University at large, this is not a new model for us. Our faculty’s expertise ranges from molecular genetics to mathematical modeling, from measuring environmental exposures to child development, from health and third world economic development to U.S. health care reform. That this remarkable diversity of backgrounds and expertise has been brought to bear on multidisciplinary approaches to complex problems relating...
...with this new model, researchers within HSCI have been successful. Albert Edge, an associate professor of otology and laryngology at the Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, says that his lab has been able to show in animal models that the auditory nerve can be replaced with embryonic stem cells—provided by HSCI—in order to correct deafness and hearing loss...
