...increased nearly three fold, bringing the number of students who studied outside the country at some point last year to 640, as students are finding that academic credits can be fulfilled and a thesis enhanced from experiences abroad, according to Office of International Programs officials. But for a certain subset of these students, mere months are not enough time away from Cambridge. Last year, nine students went their entire academic year without ever setting foot in a Harvard classroom without having to sacrifice their Harvard degree. A RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCEPeisker said she knew she wanted to go abroad before ever setting...
...scientific wisdom or the literary canon). The underlying philosophy is analogous to loose judicial interpretation, which is a liberal ideal. The critical point here, however, is that an entire wave of productive and important scholarship cannot be suppressed because it tenuously relates to a political outlook with which a subset of the population disagrees. What conservatives should focus on instead is increasing the numbers in their league who are contributing to scholarship and seeking university professorships, which would thereby increase the diversity of teaching styles on campuses and end the complaints about leftist indoctrination...

...such question, says Millett, is whether circumcision can reduce infection rates among the subset of men who have only insertive sex with other men, as opposed to those who have only receptive sex or both. Millett's review suggested that among the former group, circumcision lowered H.I.V.-infection risk by 29%, a finding that also showed statistical nonsignificance. But targeting that distinct population in future studies may prove useful for distilling the specific effect of circumcision - and perhaps for future public-health strategies. "For every insertive man who is protected, there might be a receptive man who isn't infected...
...will grow exponentially with this treatment approach. But more important, Roche can now use biomarkers to determine much earlier in the R&D process whether a drug will pan out. Down the pipeline, diagnostics identify which patients most benefit from a therapy, giving clinical trials tailored to that subset a better chance of succeeding. Moreover, any patient for whom the drug wouldn't work or whom the drug could harm can be excluded...
