...found that of 120 pathways, only ten are feasible. Weinreich has generalized his results to argue that when bacteria independently develop resistance to the same drug, they likely follow similar, if not identical pathways. To visualize this result, picture Harvard Yard during a rainstorm. While a student might take several paths from Thayer to Sever Hall, a majority of these would be muddier than others. Just as most people will walk on the few paved paths between buildings, organisms will only follow a limited number of paths to a particular adaptation. Soon after their publication, Weinreich’s results...

This isn’t the first time Capuano has broached the divestment issue. Last April, he asked public pension boards in Massachusetts to sever ties from firms with financial holdings in Sudan. Capuano...
