...Give it a chance if you can hack a few Taylor expansions, or just appreciate the easy-to-follow full-color lecture handouts. The biological applications will at least keep your ears up, and Prof. Xioawei Zhuang is one of the perkier members of the department. If, however, you prefer consulting numerical tables to learning a few easy integrals, stick to Chem 60.A warning: one intermediate course is worth approaching only in full chemical safety gear. Chem 154, “Crystal Symmetry, Diffraction, and Structure Analysis” is a how-to course for grad students who wish...
...Environmental Science and Public Policy, one of Harvard’s youngest and most well-endowed concentrations, is home to an interesting mix of environmental do-gooders, overachievers betting on a niche concentrations as an “in” to law school, and science-y types who prefer a little politics with their water. To quote a student, “it’s interesting having classes that mix patchouli eco-heads and Burberry collar-poppers.” ESPP (the syllabic friendly nickname) resides in the Harvard University Center for the Environment, located in the Natural...
...once again a demand for completely one-sided, marginally-useful, and vaguely-humorous course advice. So we’re back. Well now that you have us in your hand, how can you make the most of us?

You’ll talk about the Alice-in-Wonderland-esque counter-intuitive nature of these super-small things (groovy!) and get to know the world of nano (hint: it’s not about the iPod). If you prefer the bigger picture, Science A-36, “Observing the Sun and Stars,” has some promise, but be prepared to put in the hours, as two labs a week—limited to 6 students—outside of class are required, and six lab reports make...
Gabrieli later echoed his opponent, saying that “I would prefer to see the legislature vote to defeat [the bill...
