...aesthetically enticing display. From a grouping of picture frames etched with such phrases as “my autobiography began to seem suspicious” and “it must be so easy for you to pass” to a collection of mirrors angled to shine the light into writing “DUST” on the wall, the exhibit’s pieces, created by Harvard undergrads and local artists, break down everyday mediums to question our conceptions of identity...
Even when he finally cracked the starting lineup this season, Merchant never much took a shine to the extra attention. As captain, his name was saved for last during player introductions, but he hardly ever waited for it.

During a conference in Naples, Italy, in the spring of 1951, Watson happened to sit in on a lecture by Maurice Wilkins of King's College, London, who was using X-ray diffraction to try to understand the physical structure of the DNA molecule. When you shine X rays on any sort of crystal--and some biological molecules, including DNA, form crystals--the invisible rays bounce off atoms in the sample to create complex patterns on a piece of photographic film. In principle, you can look at the patterns and get important clues about the structure of the molecules that...
