...vaccine for follicular lymphoma is not new. Stanford University's Ron Levy pioneered the effort more than 25 years ago, demonstrating that anti-idiotype antibodies could be produced in a laboratory and used to create a vaccine for humans that would trigger an immune response. In 1999 Kwak, then working at the National Institutes of Health (nih), modified the vaccine in a way that makes it easier for the immune system to recognize. His results were striking: the vaccine eliminated the residual tumor cells left after chemotherapy in 15 of his 20 patients. Now Bendandi, who worked with Kwak...
...Saturday and Sunday, but frigid conditions seemed to be more adverse for the co-eds, as eight teams were relegated to a single round robin to combat the weather. Yale’s 6-1 record proved enough to take the win, and the Crimson found itself tied with Stanford in second place with a 5-2 score at the conclusion of the races. Harvard fell in the tiebreaker, however, to take third place overall. Though the high temperature on the Charles never exceeded 38 degrees, it was the Crimson’s experience in such conditions that sustained both...
...Southwest Film Festival. Unfortunately, the film’s mixture of soul-searching angst and renegade idealism creates more melancholy than comedy in a cinematic experience that gets old fast. The story is about the rise and fall of John “Rugged” Rudgate (Aaron Stanford, “X-Men: The Last Stand”) and his notorious life of crime. Initially, Rugged’s attempts at law-breaking are so pathetic that the only person who thinks he’s cool is his half-wit sidekick, Lagrand (Paul Schneider...
Knowles’ comparisons pit Harvard against peer institutions. At Yale, for example, 39 percent of professors are hard scientists—3 percentage points above the figure for Harvard. (Princeton, Stanford, and Berkeley are even more heavily weighted toward the hard-science side.) Meanwhile, just 24 percent of Yale faculty members are social scientists, 10 percentage points below the Harvard figure. (The other three schools’ faculties have even smaller social science contingents...
...Knowles doesn’t compare the Harvard student body to that of peer institutions. Just 42 percent of Princeton undergrads and 37 percent of Yalies concentrate in the social sciences, well below below Harvard’s 54 percent. Both Stanford and Berkeley boast far fewer (25 and 30 respectively...
