...only place that’s hopping here is the computer cubicles—all three are occupied. These study cubes are a cut above the wooden chair and desk set that comes with an undergrad room. Fax machines, iMacs and sleek silver chairs exemplify the center’s melding of science, design and overworked grad students. Though the lounge may be dead on weekday afternoons, the place becomes popular around 5 or 6 p.m., reports first-year graduate student Michael Fuerstman, who is studying physical chemistry. Fuerstman says he hits the center at least once...
Santos says undergraduates virtually have the same freedom to do research in the lab as grad students do. “Marc takes the undergraduates really seriously,” she says. “You get to act like a grad student when you are an undergrad...
...1970s who sought to determine whether a person could psychically influence the outcome of an otherwise random experiment. The student sought to test the existence of this type of psychokinesis with the use of a random events generator (REG), which essentially functions as a glorified coin-tossing machine. The undergrad aimed to see if the focused thoughts of the REG’s human operator could, over the course of numerous trials, produce an unambiguously non-random outcome (i.e. more heads than tails). The students’ finding suggested a small but statistically significant difference between those REG trials that...
Umass is not alone. This week undergrad teaching assistants at Columbia University are voting on union affiliation. The results, which may not be known for months, will be appealed to the National Labor Relations Board, by either Columbia or the U.A.W. A ruling by a national board in the union's favor could have an even broader impact than the state ruling in the Amherst case. Then the dorm fight goes nationwide...
...Fastow only as a slacker who tried to talk him into raising his grades. Hardly anyone at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management can even recall him from his years as an M.B.A. student. The response is similar at Tufts, where he studied Chinese and economics as an undergrad and played a little trombone and tennis on the side. Most Enron employees didn't know who he was until relatively recently. As head of Enron Capital Management--his job in 1997 and '98, when he was named CFO--he wielded his power across a very narrow band. In contrast...
