...1990s, Buckner helped develop event-related fMRI, which allows scientists observing the brain to distinguish between mental events occurring a few seconds apart. Previously, scientists could only differentiate between mental events that took place a half a minute to a minute apart, Bucker said. At Harvard, Buckner will spearhead the fMRI center being built for the new Center for Brain Science, said Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology Joshua R. Sanes, who directs the Center for Brain Science. The fMRI center is scheduled to open in 2007, Sanes said. “The fact that we’re going...
Like most of the top teams in the nation, the Dartmouth roster has been decimated by the combination of graduation and national team camps, which claimed standouts Cherie Piper, Gillian Apps, and top incoming freshman Sarah Parsons. Luckily for coach Mark Hudak, senior Tiffany Hagge returns to spearhead the country’s third-best scoring offense from last season.

Indeed, when one considers Scofield’s extensive jazz pedigree, his compatibility with the Charles oeuvre seems questionable. But while his twistedly vertical guitar style may have conflicted with the source material at times, nearly everyone at the show thought it was a success. This past Thursday and Friday, John Scofield (guitar/mastermind), John Benitez (bass), Steve Hass (drums), Gary Versace (keys/Hammond) and Meyer Statham (vocals/trombone) played four shows at the Charles Hotel’s renowned Regattabar jazz club...
...being realistic, though. His work at Dartmouth, after all, while partially effective, didn’t seem to make any dramatic impact on students’ drinking patterns. Then again, Travia only took the reins in 2003. Before that, he says, there was no one in charge to spearhead the effort, and the program floundered...
