While we appreciate the editorial’s praise of the current state of science at the Radcliffe Institute and the acknowledgement of the role of President-elect of Harvard and Dean of the Radcliffe Institute Drew Gilpin Faust in its evolution, the piece could leave a reader believing that there were no scientists at Radcliffe prior to 2002.
