He changed his mind, he said, when he learned more about the war. When asked why he is now refusing a job he essentially signed up for, Watada reframes the question, arguing that the job of a soldier includes refusing orders when he believes they are illegal. "I signed up to defend our country. The war in Iraq is hurting our country. Those...
...mission includes hiring faculty and providing labs for researchers whose work does not fit neatly into an existing department.Hopefully, HUSEC will also soon create University-wide interdisciplinary departments. The Corporation has already expressed specific interest in a Department of Developmental and Regenerative Biology that would focus on stem cells. New departments that span the gaps of their traditional counterparts will provide further administrative structure to the interdisciplinary initiative. They will be essential to advancing cross-disciplinary work, as they will be able to more effectively recruit specialized faculty, develop interdisciplinary programs, and request funding for equipment and lab space...

Three Harvard professors wrote to Congress earlier this month expressing their disappointment over a recent White House report on stem cell science that, they claim, has misrepresented their studies on alternatives for research using human embryonic cells. Published by the United States Domestic Policy Council (DPC) on Jan. 9, the report on “Advancing Stem Cell Science Without Destroying Human Life” asserted that the results of the scientists’ research emphasized the possibility of “creating cell lines for the study and treatment of disease without the many ethical dilemmas associated with...
Second, TIME states "most scholars today believe that so-called intelligence and achievement differences stem largely from environmental factors." A recent survey in the Public Interest, responded to by 661 experts, found that those interviewed "believe 60% of the individual differences in IQ in the American white population to be due to differences in genes." When asked to give their opinion of the source of the black-white difference in IQ, 53% of those interviewed believe that genes and environment are both involved, compared with only 17% who attribute the cause entirely to the environment.
