As food prices worldwide spike, most of the world??s corn and soy crops are fed to animals—with grain-fed beef requiring 10 times more grain to produce the same amount of calories as direct grain consumption. This, coupled with absurd ethanol subsidies, incentivizes monoculture production of corn across the Midwest, which in turn erodes soil and creates nitrogen run-off into the Gulf of Mexico...
BASF, the world??s largest chemical company, officially launched a collaborative research program with Harvard yesterday.

The winner of the 2008 Harvard Arts Medal, he was that guy: the quintessential Harvard student, the one who cures rare diseases and can whip up a mean soufflé—or, in Redman’s case, solves the world??s social problems and plays a mean saxophone. Now, he is one of the world??s foremost jazz musicians, with a style that is at once poised and loose, technically excellent and creatively free. But technique and creativity haven’t always been easy for Redman to reconcile.While...
