Thrust into prominence as the canvas for the University’s grand vision was the neighboring community of Allston—a city once dominated by railroad stockyards and cattle slaughterhouses that now bore the weight of a new president’s vision and a centuries-old University’s future. But the city’s newfound standing has not always been greeted cheerily by residents who, in the years since Summers’ first bold pronouncements, have often worried that their voices have...

Establishing the presence of brown fat in adults opens up the possibilities for future investigations as to how its usefulness might be harnessed. According to Kahn...
