...students already have a separate lounge area for themselves in Jefferson, Bhatt said. The committee is experimenting with the idea of having graduate students hold office hours in the new undergraduate study.Bhatt said she hopes the study will encourage concentrators—who typically find themselves dislodged from the research sector of the department—to venture from their dining hall haunts and become more involved in the department.“There is a huge disconnect between physics undergraduates taking classes and the rest of the physics community,” Bhatt said...
...Even the length of the book affirms Vollmann’s devotion to his topic. In 2000, his second year researching for “Imperial,” he was already determined “to return year after year, deepening friendships, exploring sandscapes and ruthlessly studying people’s lives until Imperial became as shockingly bright in my mind as the bands of sunny grass between the aisles of a palm-orchard.” For the next eight years, Vollmann completed “Imperial” doing precisely that. His interests are equally topological...
...seems the best way to approach “Imperial” is precisely the way Vollmann approached Imperial. Its disjointed structure is a service to the sheer volume of time it takes to finish the book. After a decade of research, in a 1,300-page book, Vollmann is still doubtful that he has really covered the entirety of Imperial. He often defends himself by claiming that Imperial is ultimately “unknowable.” And “Imperial,” too, teems with such limitless detail that no reader could possibly absorb...
...didn't take police long to pinpoint a suspect in the grisly murder of Annie Le, the 24-year-old Yale graduate student found dead in a research lab Sept. 13 - the day she was supposed to be married. Almost immediately, suspicion congealed around Raymond Clark, 24, a technician with access to Le's lab, who had reportedly entered the building as many as 10 times the day she disappeared and bore suspicious wounds on his chest, arms and back. Clark was arrested Sept. 17 and charged with murder. As investigators soon learned, there was little in his past that...
...Clark has been a lab technician at Yale since December 2004. His duties included cleaning the cages of lab rodents, a job that may have brought him into contact with Le, who used mice in her research. "His supervisor reports that nothing in the history of his employment at the university gave an indication that his involvement in such a crime might be possible," said Yale president Richard Levin in a statement to the campus community Sept. 17.
