...have to be achieved over a longer time frame than one might have thought, and perhaps a bit more modestly in some ways I can’t now foresee.”Faust describes the messages she has been sending to alumni as two-fold—Harvard must not only “adjust to a changed financial context” but also take advantage of the crisis to sort through University priorities going forward. “We must be in charge of change instead of being the object of change,” Faust says.But...
...unnatural.” But why worry? The fetishisation of the natural displayed by those who draw hard and fast distinctions between chemical enhancement and other forms of striving for excellence is dependent upon a senseless equation of the way things are with the way things must be. The argument loses its appeal when we realize that our bodies and minds were not created by an intelligent planner but by a biological process that sought to maximize the number of viable offspring, not the amount of human happiness and achievement.

...that makes these areas of scholarship and teaching priorities even in the current climate? First, they have real world significance. Global health (which also includes domestic health issues, if only because microbes do not need passports) and issues of energy and environment confront challenges that any great research university must address. The emergence of pandemics, the development of new drugs, vaccines, and devices for neglected diseases, the assurance of access to new discoveries in resource constrained areas, and the impact of these discoveries on diverse populations are centrally important to the world. Similarly, the development of newer, cleaner, cheaper forms...
