...event would help break down Harvard’s “culture of mutual avoidance.” Seated casually on sofas in the Barker Center, professors shared comical anecdotes about students who came to office hours, recalling one pupil whom Professor of the Practice of Molecular and Cellular Biology Robert A. Lue nicknamed “The Ocean” for his relentless stream of questions. 300th Anniversary University Professor Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, hastened to add that students don’t need to come in with a specific question or share some...
...Gore ’69. “It’s a shame,” Sanes said. “My daughter was going to come up from college to see [chef] Alice Waters,” he added. Sanes, who is also Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology, researches how cells and their connections in the brain become specialized. At the center, he directs a group of independent scientists as they map neurocircuits and investigate what he calls “the big intellectual question of this century.” Membership honors individual achievement, but some...
Assistant Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology Kevin C. Eggan expressed frustration at a major stem cell conference on Tuesday about a Massachussetts law that creates roadblocks to medical research. Eggan lamented a state policy that limits access to human eggs by forbidding researchers from compensating women for egg donation. Since its inception in 2004, the Harvard Stem Cell Institute has not obtained a single egg from an eligible donor. Eggan left town immediately after the conference ended yesterday and could not be reached for additional comment. B.D. Colen, Harvard’s senior communications officer for University science, said...
Catalonia may be renowned for its hospitality, but the mobile-phone industry could be excused if it were feeling a bit betrayed. Earlier this year, Barcelona, capital of the Spanish province, hosted the 3GSM World Congress, the world's biggest annual cellular conference. During his keynote address, Vodafone CEO Arun Sarin implored his colleagues to improve cellular networks' ability to provide rapid and easy Internet access, otherwise a new wireless technology called WiMAX could take over. WiMAX doesn't require phone handsets or cellular networks. It can deliver fast Net connections over long distances directly to computers or handheld devices...
...It’s a whole package of how are we examining on a day-to-day basis our ability to communicate effectively with students in the event of an emergency.” Nelson added that much of the work, including a study of cellular connectivity across campus, that contributed to the original decision to remove the red phones had happened “prior to incidents that occurred last year,” including the Virginia Tech shooting. One of the safety advantages of the red phones, according to Nelson, is that Cambridge and Harvard University police...
