...scientific inquiry, and it invites noted scientists and other academics to explain the science behind the screenings’ subjects. Next Monday, the theatre will screen “The Night of the Living Dead” with an introduction given by Dr. Steven C. Schlozman.Schlozman, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and a lecturer at the Harvard School of Education, is interested in links between the medical field and pop culture, the humanities, and the arts. In his introduction, Schlozman will explain the zombie in terms of neuroscience to answer some of the many pressing questions...
...from this expectation.THROUGH THE AGESBut the goal of the original Oxford and Cambridge SCRs was not to create familial rapports. Diverging from its more formal and stilted English counterpart, the Harvard SCR model was designed to foster casual interaction between faculty and students. “In England, the professors just sit and stare down at undergraduates. They’re probably only worried about the quality of their wine cellars,” Mayman said. In establishing the current residential life system in the early twentieth century, University President Abbott L. Lowell, class of 1877, sought to depart from...
...either hate it or you love it,” Murray says. “And I absolutely loved it.”Murray took readily to the experimental demands of applied physics, completing her senior thesis studying excitations in superfluid helium with physics professor Thomas J. Greytak, a difficult project that involved building her own homemade helium fridge.“The [parts] kept plugging up and there were several leaks and other excitements,” says Murray. “You actually had to make everything back in those days to do your experiments...
...innovate.“There’s an interesting institutional crisis related to how we’ve gone from an era where information was the main value proposition of most institutions—cultural, educational, industrial,” says Engineering and Applied Sciences Professor David Edwards, “to an era where information is so readily available that innovation becomes what’s valued… And innovation is connected to the ability of ideas to move from one discipline to the next, from the arts to the sciences.”Edwards, who teaches...
...while the animals were still alive. They found that the mice treated with the drug survived longer compared to controls given only saline, which mimicked what occurred in the clinical trial, said Rakesh K. Jain, director of the Steele Laboratory in the MGH Department of Radiation Oncology and a professor of oncology at Harvard Medical School. Yet surprisingly, the drug was not affecting tumor growth—the tumors continued to grow in mice given the drug, Jain said. “These treatments allowed animals to survive longer despite not slowing the tumor at all,” said...
