...hope for its resurrection now lies in its tame descendants, domesticated cattle. Here's how the process is expected to work: Scientists will first scour old aurochs bone and teeth fragments from museums in order to glean enough genetic material to be able to recreate its DNA. Researchers will then compare the DNA to that of modern European cattle to determine which breeds still carry the creature's genes and create a selective-breeding program to reverse thousands of years of evolution. If everything goes as planned, each passing generation will more closely resemble the ancient aurochs. "Everything will...
...have that collegiate gap. Graduate school and college are one in the same. As soon as we leave high school, we have to choose what we’re going to do for the rest of our lives. That’s quite a responsibility for a 17-year-old, I would say. Our sole responsibility is to study hard for a very difficult admissions exam, the content of which depends on the type of college we choose to attend. In the U.S., however, I met people who, by the age of 17, had already traveled the world, participated...
Danz: The algorithm is over 10 years old. It's got 10 years of experience with the Harvard student body under its belt. We have made some modifications to it throughout the years; this year we actually did decide to write something new from scratch. We're still deciding whether to use it. The old algorithm in the past has not ensured bidirectional matching. We don't want it to be unfortunate like that, so we're exploring the possibility of building pairs...
Datamatch may be the hottest thing at Harvard (except maybe your significant other) around this time of year. Using an algorithm that's now over a decade old, the service, which attracted over 600 newly registered users within less than a day of its release on Wednesday, helps matchless folk at Harvard find true love. Or so it claims...
...down on my hard wooden chair, ready for a night full of fun and revelry writing my paper about globalization in the Middle East. I was surrounded by dozens of students; all I could hear was incessant typing, the clicking of pens, and on occasion, the creak of some old dusty chairs. As I began to procrastinate, anticipating an endless night at Lamont Library, it saddened me to think how quickly time has passed during my two years here. Although I am in the middle of my third year at Harvard, it still feels like it was yesterday when...
