...about washing hands (with soap, people!), avoiding contact with the sick, and how to cough properly (“into the crook of your elbow”) from HUHS has been much appreciated by FlyBy, who had previously thought that sneezing into people’s faces and swapping saliva with those who had hacking coughs was healthy and downright sexy. So, in order to better inform the Harvard community on how to proceed in this time of pandemic confusion, FlyBy has figured out a simple and effective form of swine flu deterrence.

The study aimed to gauge the stress impact of exposure to violence by testing the levels of cortisol—a hormone that is secreted at higher levels in high-stress situations—in each of the subjects. Suglia and his team took saliva samples in order to compare cortisol levels to parents’ descriptions of their children’s stress levels. They then analyzed differences in sleeping patterns, exposure to varying severities of violence, and degrees of worrying. The study concluded that there was a correlation between alterations in the body?...

I thought, could I do a piece that would circle around all those interests the fact that the student population is very important to this community, as is archive life?I wanted to collect saliva from students of color and urine samples from the white students, to display them, and to let them age over time to see what kinds of information—just by looking at them visually—could they tell us about these populations. But of course we ran into legal...
