...slippery slope: a recent Pew survey found that increasingly, parents rank their relationships with their kids as more important than their relationship with their spouse. Just as interesting, they rank their job dead last. That most masculine of traits--the ability to go out into the world and bring home a buck--is receding in importance for the men of Generation X. Men's rates of labor-force participation have dropped from just above 90% in 1970 to just above 80% in 2005. Almost a third of young fathers (32%) say they dedicate more time to their children, while...
...Dane's grasp of climate science seems shaky at best. The polar bear is far from O.K.: the U.S. Geological Survey reported last month that two-thirds of the population will disappear by 2050 because of shrinking sea ice. But his main argument is still worth considering. Lomborg believes that it would be far too costly to reduce global carbon emissions enough to actually cool the climate. Since warming is coming no matter what we do and poor countries will suffer the most from it, we should instead direct scarce resources to helping those nations adapt to climate change. That...
...Nonetheless, we continued to advocate that students be educated about HPV and make an informed choice whether or not to get the vaccine. To judge how much our campus knew about human papillomavirus (HPV), we conducted a survey with undergraduates at the College. The most important conclusion from the study was that cost was by far the biggest barrier to vaccine uptake...
...While we are thrilled with the recent developments at UHS, we cannot help but feel like our work is not yet finished. Our survey last spring found that while 71 percent of Harvard women would happily talk with their friends about HPV and the vaccine, only 38 percent of females had talked with a female physician about it. 37 percent of women surveyed had never had a pap test. In fact, 26 percent of these women did not know where to go if they wanted to get one at Harvard. Pap tests help detect abnormalities early when they?...
...recent survey conducted by the American Association of Universities (AAUP) based on 2005 data showed that Harvard had the lowest percentage of tenure-track Professors in the Ivy League, at 56.6 percent. Without a tenured position, associate and assistant professors’ time at Harvard is capped at eight years. Review is usually only offered in the penultimate year of a tenure-track professor’s term. Even with the possibility of tenure review ahead, the long process and lack of a guarantee can lead restless professors to hop off the faculty roster early...
