...Bush's talk about ethics and the immorality of destroying embryos—even embryos that will be inevitably destroyed by fertility clinics—the Bush Administration has refused thus far to fully engage the ethical issues. It certainly hasn’t stopped embryonic stem cell research??but it has made funding more complicated, forced scientists to keep their federally-funded and non-federally-funded projects separate, and left a void where national ethical standards should be. Bush's executive order, which he issued Wednesday along with his veto, further demonstrates the same sort of evasion...
...Some of her initiatives—such as the University-wide committee that called on Harvard to value pedagogy as much as it values research??made far-reaching recommendations, but these—and others—remain on the drawing board...
...transfer. The licensing agreement holds throughout the life of the patents and gives Nano-Terra the exclusive right to develop the technologies for use in military products, environmental testing products, and industrial products, among others. “I think that’s one of the points of research??to get it out there and make it useful to society,” said Eric J. Heller, a professor of chemistry and physics at Harvard, who studies the theoretical science behind nanotechnology. Harvard will receive royalties from those products developed from the licensed technologies, and the University...
...Research??that’s what this university runs on, and we have to fund it,” says David A. Weitz, a physics professor who directs Harvard’s Materials Research Science and Engineering Center. Weitz says the University may have to turn to private-sector sources—including venture capital firms—more frequently in the future as federal agencies tighten their purse strings...
...market. Harvard officials did not know where those centers would be located, but Brock Reeve, HSCI’s executive director, said Patrick’s commitment to geographic diversity would likely mean that planners would have to reconcile this aim with the existing distribution of biomedical research??now heavily concentrated in the Greater Boston area. “I think we’ll find some geographical diversity there, but on the other hand we’ve already invested in certain facilities,” Reeve said. “It?...
