...Bringing in Iran to help try and stem the violence in Iraq is a step in the right direction. But Iran has nowhere near the levels of control over and responsibility for the chaos and carnage that Washington is ascribing to it, and we can't count on it being the silver bullet. The unfortunate truth is Iraq is awash in weapons and only a unified, independent, popularly backed Iraqi government can change that...
...would live up to the promises it will eventually make. One resident cited discrepancies in the building heights proposed by the North Allston Neighborhood Strategic Plan and those included in Harvard’s plans for its science complex—which will include the home of the Harvard Stem Cell Initiative—as an instance in which the University has not lived up to its word...
...latest data on Internet participation reveals that only a very small percentage of Internet activity is related to users creating and publishing content. The 80/20 rule, also known as the Pareto Principle, states that 80% of all consequences stem from 20% of the causes. If true, the rule would then suggest that 80% of this new form of content is created by 20% of the users. The rule, subject of countless business books, has no application when it comes to consumer-generated content. Far less than 1% of visits to most sites that thrive on user-created materials are attributable...
Researchers from Harvard and Columbia have moved one step closer to discovering the cause of the fatal neurodegenerative Lou Gehrig’s disease through a novel use of embryonic stem cells from mice. Supporters of embryonic stem cell research have long pointed to the potential to use these cells to directly treat diseases of the nervous system. But the Harvard and Columbia teams assert that stem cells have a broader application in providing critical information for understanding many other human diseases. The researchers have harnessed stem cells from mice embryos, which can develop into any kind of tissue...
...creating Harvard’s first University-wide department, the Department of Developmental and Regenerative Biology. The University-wide department promises to bring together faculty from Harvard Medical School (HMS) and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS), encouraging collaboration and streamlining Harvard’s resources for stem cell research. The new department will collaborate with the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI), which currently facilitates University-wide investigation in the field, but it will be better able to centralize resources for stem cell research than the Institute could alone, in particular gaining the power to hire its own faculty...
