...most memorable game of the season—the opening round of Eastern Championships against No. 20 Johns Hopkins. Having played the Blue Jays twice before and falling short each time, Harvard’s chances looked bleak. Both teams traded scores throughout the game, and Voith rose to the occasion, leading all scorers with four goals, including two decisive scores in the fourth quarter to clinch the stunning upset. For his efforts, Voith was voted the Rookie of the Tournament and served as the Crimson’s lone representative on the All-Tournament team.While Voith and other goalscorers...
Sarah Vaillancourt’s name was announced, and the skaters of the Harvard women’s hockey team rose in unison as they watched their teammate walk to the podium in the banquet hall of the Radisson Hotel Duluth-Harborview in Duluth, Minn...
...boost the quitting success rate would be to match smokers with the right cessation program. A team of researchers, led by Jed Rose, director of the Duke University Center for Nicotine and Smoking Cessation Research, have begun doing just that. In their new study, the scientists screened the entire human genome and teased out a profile of genes that they think are involved in breaking nicotine addiction. Some of the genes influence basic cell communication; others code for enzymes that break down bupropion in the body. Everyone possesses all the genes in question, says Rose, but in different forms...
...Rose found that people with genes that more efficiently code for bupropion breakdown respond better to the drug, while people with genetic variants that improve cell communication - also called adhesion - seem to have an easier time overall in quitting. That makes sense, since addictive behaviors such as smoking are deeply ingrained in the brain, and are strongly tied to social and environmental triggers. That network of neural connections, once cemented, is tough to break. But having certain versions of genes that facilitate neural flexibility - easing the uncoupling of certain brain connections and replacing them with new habits - could, says Rose...
...Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) analyzed survey data gathered between 1999 and 2006, and found that the prevalence of overweight and obesity among American schoolchildren has plateaued at about 32%. After years of rapid increase - the percentage of 6- to 11-year-olds classified as obese rose from 6.5% in 1980 to 16.3% in 2002 - that sounds like good news. "We can be cautiously optimistic that it seems to be leveling off in recent years," says Ogden...
