...appeal? Like spackle for the diet, marketed to the soul, it increasingly fills the holes in our nutritional and daily eating habits. Yogurt is shape-shifting into ever more unlikely forms and flavors--squeezable, drinkable, chai, cappuccino and black currant--while nailing three major food trends: convenience, portion control and health. "Give it a few more generations, and this could be the No. 1 food," says Harry Balzer, vice president of the NPD Group, a firm that tracks America's eating habits. "This is where the country is heading...
...applied math, and engineering concentrations, is currently a part of FAS. But the DEAS’s focus on “applied” knowledge makes the division’s mission subtly different from that of most College concentrations. Differences notwithstanding, DEAS continues to be an important portion of FAS. Up to now, however, its place beneath FAS’s liberal arts wing has somewhat obscured the division’s unique contributions. And its small size has kept it from competing effectively for engineering, applied math, and computer science students. These millstones could be lifted under...
...percent of high school students interested in engineering end up coming to Harvard, Venky said. Approximately 70 to 80 percent of graduate applicants ultimately choose DEAS, and Venky added that he would like to see both numbers increase. The new school, if approved, would likely make up a significant portion of the plans for Harvard’s Allston campus. A 2005 task force report concluded that “any new planning efforts must now be coordinated and integrated with Harvard’s existing activities in the sciences and engineering.” The transition...
...evaluate course content itself (how is one supposed to “evaluate” a particular era of history?), students are particularly suited to comment on matters such as a professor’s presentation and course organization—and evaluations of this sort comprise a significant portion of the survey. In turn, the aggregate data of all courses should be available when students weigh courses from the whole of Courses of Instruction. As long as undergraduates are given the freedom to choose their own courses, there is no reason to restrict the amount of information that they...
...boxed wine talking. There's nothing as sexy as a tease and Gore probably knows that his dance of the seven veils does more to heighten the movie's profile than the movie could ever do for his. It's about global warming, for goodness' sakes. A significant portion of its visual content consists of charts. It's the concert video only Al Gore could be the star of. Gore's groupies in the Geographic rotunda responded to him in the way high school students greet a returning alum who has surpassed expectations, but that glamour tarnishes quickly should...
