...arXiv was first set up by a former Harvard professor of theoretical physics, Paul Ginsparg, in 1991, to facilitate the exchange of preprints amongst particle physicists and string theorists. Since then, it has grown into a huge site, publishing thousands of research papers in dozens of branches of physics, mathematics, computer science and even quantitative biology...
...Wednesday afternoon, and Science Center B is packed. The throngs of students, most of them seniors and juniors, file in and take seats next to unfamiliar faces amid the background noise of a hundred conversations. They’re attending the first of a long string of meetings and info sessions held by the Office of Career Services (OCS) that pave the road to those highly sought-after jobs in consulting and investment banking...
...religion was trying to stifle "that which is most precious to the West and which doesn't exist in any Muslim country: liberty of thought and expression." He claimed that France was "more or less consciously submitting itself to the dictates of Islam" by such gestures as banning string bikinis during this summer's Paris Plage, the annual beach party in Paris; setting up times when only women can visit public pools; and allowing Muslim schoolchildren to get special food in school cafeterias...
...easily slip into illegal territory. But if anyone should be able to stick to the rules, it seems, it should be those who deal with complicated codes for a living—like the faculty at the Harvard Law School. Perhaps that was why the outcry over a string of alleged instances of plagiarism involving Harvard Law School professors—including Frankfurter Professor of Law Alan M. Dershowitz, Climenko Professor of Law Charles J. Ogletree Jr. and Loeb University Professor Laurence H. Tribe ‘62—caused such a vicious and popular controversy.In 2003, Dershowitz...
...mathematician Shing-Tung Yau, the first time journalist Sylvia Nasar got in touch with him for a story she was writing for the New Yorker, she told him she was interested in the fusion of math and physics as represented in the age-old Poincare Conjecture. Yau, a Harvard string theorist, had a lot to say on the subject—two of his mentees had just completed a full proof of the Conjecture, which had gone unsolved for a hundred years. He happily agreed to talk to her, according to the New Yorker, and the two of them spoke...
