...featured a session on “Sustainable Food,” timely in 2008 because a sudden increase in international food prices had pushed 100 million more people around the world into hunger, on top of the 850 million others–mostly in rural South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa–who were already suffering from chronic malnutrition before prices went up. Yet none of the invited speakers at Harvard’s session on food had much interest in this larger problem, or any academic standing to address it. One was a celebrity restaurant owner from...

...British astronomer William Herschel, it will search a vast array of galaxies collecting radiation that emits from protostars, the dust clouds that contract to form stars and galaxies. Unlike Hubble, which is tuned to visible light, Herschel will go after much longer wavelength radiation in the far-infrared and sub-millimeter range. By allowing astronomers to study objects in space not visible in other wavelengths, it should record the formation of protostars for the first time...
...ripe for the disease to spread rapidly. Another concern is what will happen in developing countries that haven't yet had to deal with H1N1. Rich countries like the U.S. can afford to spend millions on antivirals like Tamiflu, but in poorer nations, especially in those parts of sub-Saharan Africa where rampant HIV makes the population more vulnerable to secondary infections like flu, H1N1 will likely take a far greater toll. Indeed, health officials said last week that early evidence suggests underlying conditions - including asthma, heart disease, diabetes and tuberculosis - could make H1N1 patients more likely to land...
