Although interdisciplinary thinking can drive productive and broad discourse between, say, the sciences and the humanities, what of the insights gained at the interface of different fields within the domain of the natural sciences? The mining of such productive friction is a hallmark of science today. Cell biologists collaborate with engineers to understand how physical forces shape developing tissues. Chemists collaborate with biologists to unlock the remarkable chemistry used by microbes to degrade environmental toxins. And computer scientists collaborate with structural biologists to harness the properties of biological macromolecules to re-imagine the computer chip. So why is it that...
Description: This feature makes your cell phone voicemail act more like landline voicemail. You can see who is calling, take a call, send it to voicemail, or join a call at any point during the process...
Late at night—as often as two or three times a week—Sarah A. Rankin, the director of the Office of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response, wakes up in the dead of night to the ringing of her cell phone...
...memory that stretches back further than the Crimson’s archives—that whenever a Holden singer discusses anything that the choruses have done, they’ll use the first person plural. As a result, 19-year-old students with laptops in bag and cell phones in pocket develop a verbal tic of referring to high jinks they enjoyed during the late nineteenth century or early 1970s...
...this interest in going green has been accompanied by a growing demand for energy—a demand that is expected, according to the Energy Information Administration, to rise nearly 26 percent by 2030. In my class on thermodynamics last semester, fuel-cell technology received a lot of attention, and I’ve been flagged down countless times by insistent, blue-shirted activists who solicit signatures for the proposed wind farm on Nantucket Sound. However, there is another technology being embraced by the proponents of green technology and by evolving government policy, that is making headlines. It generates...
