...most of us, though, it's the grand question about what it is that makes us human that renders comparative genome studies so compelling. As scientists keep reminding us, evolution is a random process in which haphazard genetic changes interact with random environmental conditions to produce an organism somehow fitter than its fellows. After 3.5 billion years of such randomness, a creature emerged that could ponder its own origins--and revel in a Mozart adagio. Within a few short years, we may finally understand precisely when and how that happened...
...ESPP is relatively new, it has only a few actual concentration courses. All concentrators are required to take ESPP10, “Introduction to Environmental Science and Public Policy,” which features rotating lecturers and case study approaches to five large environmental problems. Some students enjoy the haphazard approach, although many complain that there seems to be no core knowledge that is learned in the class. The only other required departmental course, after junior tutorial and senior thesis seminars, is ESPP 78, “Environmental Politics,” taught by Sheila Jasanoff. However, while ESPP does...
...opinions about each question—one right and one wrong—but recognizing that there can be two sets of facts for each issue, both true. As LeRoy vanishes into thin air, he reveals our ever-ephemeral grasp on truth and reality. Our world depends on a haphazard balance between manipulated images, unfiltered images, and direct experience. And upon this arbitrary and artificial backdrop—a reality far from terra firma—we play out our personal simulations. It’s an uncomfortable idea: Our existence, seemingly solid and objective, is no less artificial, constructed...
...icon, the pair stood paralyzed on the Yale Bowl’s field, their package ready for delivery. They had spoken of, and planned for, this moment for weeks, but neither of them had expected their scheme would come to fruition, and certainly not in so haphazard a fashion. But there they were nonetheless. Success lay just a hundred yards away if they could only summon the courage to sprint to their Harvard brethren, dog in tow. Slowly jogging onto the grass, they led Handsome Dan in circles, drawing thunderous applause from a host of Elis. Then, without warning, they...
...This haphazard and erratic media storage should change; we should create a server with Harvard Professors’ lectures saved for posterity, a 21st century Widener. Rather than deleting them and restricting access, FAS should keep media information (primarily videos of classes) permanently, thus providing future generations with live images of our current faculty...
