In 2002, the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences established a $15 million challenge fund to endow 10 professorships and 10 innovation funds in Engineering and Applied Sciences...
...Eric Martin, Harvard’s technical director of the Center for Nanoscale Systems, which will be the building’s chief occupant, attempted to minimize fears about the lab, saying that the activity there would occur on a very “human scale.” The scientist walked residents through the basics of nanotechnology research, pulling empty beakers and petri dishes out of a gray toolbox to illustrate his presentation.

...other treatments after as long as a year. In 12 of the 13, ACT outperformed the other approaches. In two of the studies, depressed patients were randomly assigned to either cognitive therapy or ACT. After two months, the ACT patients scored an average of 59% lower on a depression scale. Those were small studies, just 39 patients total, but ACT has shown wide applicability. In a 2002 study, Hayes and a student looked at 70 hospitalized psychotics receiving the standard medication and counseling. Half were randomly assigned to four 45-min. ACT sessions; the other half formed the control. Four...
