...This perverse budgetary approach to American science has come at terrible time, considering the great potential in biomedical fields. Harvard—among other preeminent research universities—is driving advances in biomedical and biotechnology research, but it relies heavily on federal funding to support current momentum. Last year Harvard received grants of $329 million from the NIH—by far its principal stream of federal research funding. Thankfully, University President Drew G. Faust recognizes the importance of contemporary bioscience research to Harvard professors. On Tuesday, she testified in front of a U.S. Senate committee, speaking in support...

Though Nguyen managed to save the first match point at 3-5 with a down-the line laser followed...
...first time anyone in our locker room had beat UMass,” Harvard coach John Tillman said. “They’ve done a lot of sacrificing so it’s nice to see them get rewarded. They certainly deserve it.” A momentum-changing goal from junior midfielder Max Motschwiller just over a minute into the third period tied the game and set the tone for the Crimson-dominated second half.
