When archaeologists first started digging in Jamestown in the 1930s, they turned up more than half a million artifacts--but not a trace of the original fort. In fact, nobody expected to find it. Based on a handful of written eyewitness accounts and two maps, the James Fort was widely believed to have been built at the west end of Jamestown Island, close to the deepwater channel where the colonists presumably moored their ships.

Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. has won three awards, one honoring his pioneering idea to engage middle and high school students in history and science by encouraging them to trace their own ancestry. For his scholarship, Gates has been recognized by the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Wired magazine, and the National Arts Club. “I’m developing a new way to teach African-American history and science for middle and high school kids,” said Gates, the Fletcher University professor. “History will involve people learning how to do their...
...cardiovascular disease was larger than we expected,” said Cook, who is affiliated with the Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
