Wolfe said that he and his team of researchers have found that while forcing experimental baggage screeners to slow down did not improve their vigilance, subjecting them to frequent re-training sessions seemed to lower the number of missed targets. “This additional funding will support real world testing for the new techniques and technologies being developed by scientists at Brigham and Women’s Hospital...

While focusing on the needs of future students, the College is letting current students languish. Deans Gross and Knowles...
...spread of prostate cancer. Authors of the study are questioning the benefits of the treatment because although prostate cancer can be lethal, it spreads slowly, develops primarily in men over 65, and most patients survive for at least five years after they are diagnosed. The disease’s slow progression raises doubts about whether it is worthwhile to use a potentially hazardous therapy in treating early-stage prostate cancer. Patients with advanced forms of cancer in need of immediate treatment can take actions to alleviate the increased risks associated with the therapy...
