...Magazine, Kopit said, “does a terrific job of letting people know about what’s happening at the institution. It links people back to Harvard, and it is endowment-driven.” But she said 02138 is not looking to get alumni directly in touch with the University. “We are markedly different, in that we’re not trying to link anyone back to anything.

Acording to Harvard 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...

The cortex is where sensory information from the eyes, ears, nose and touch neurons is processed. He and his group are providing samples of human brain tissue, including archived material from patients who have suffered from diseases such as epilepsy, to give researchers a better understanding of which genes are involved in disease states...

But while this was a nice facelift, it didn’t touch the infrastructural updates that were really needed—and which were then estimated at $30 million.The newest renovations are phase two of the same project. Now that several generous donations, earmarked for the MAC, have made it possible, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) is finishing the job. Unfortunately...
