...Answer to Cancer: Prevention The extraordinary missed opportunity in fighting cancer centers on the lack of primary prevention: avoid, reduce and eliminate exposure to carcinogens [Oct. 6]. Shamefully, the National Cancer Institute invests only a minuscule amount to prevent cancer, opting predominantly for a posteriori treatment. Mortality for certain cancers has decreased slightly in the past few years, but the incidence of cancer has not. With more than 100,000 chemicals and formula combinations on the consumer market and less than 5% being evaluated for cancer-causing potential, now is past the time for identifying chemical and environmental carcinogens.

[The rankings] are there to help get you started.” Former Harvard College Dean Harry R. Lewis ’68 also took a circumspect view on the most recent rankings announcement. “Human beings...
...blog notes of popular Harvard lectures. Past bloggers include students enrolled in the course, as well as TFs. An added component of the site is an interactive forum where users can create an account, make a group, invite friends to join, and assign various tasks (i.e. lecture notes for certain lectures), all in an effort to promote more effective learning and more transparency among study groups...
