Whether or not she chooses to appoint an official student advisory board for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) Dean Search may signal the type of leader she will be for undergraduates.

Once you infect it with a certain strain of mouse-borne malaria parasite, it lives longer and produces more offspring than infected wild-type mosquitoes. Place equal numbers of the two types of mosquitoes into the same cage, let the birds and the bees do their thing for a few generations, and the bioengineered insects take over, accounting for 70 percent of the mosquito population...
