...with Harvard’s other schools. “We have all these horizontal interactions between SEAS and systems biology and the Medical School, and I think she’ll be great in establishing bridges,” says Capasso. Colleagues say her experience as both an experimentalist and as a manager is the right combination for leading SEAS.“She is able to look at both the big picture and at details, and that’s not a common thing,” says Capasso. “She has this impressive management experience...

So he became "a 17th century thing--a general experimentalist," a fuzzy notion that, he says, Harvard found hard to accept. He transferred to Oxford, where he studied everything from climatology to biophysics, but when he wanted to write a thesis on energy-resource strategy, he was told to pick "a real subject." In frustration, he quit with a master's degree and began consulting, lecturing and writing...
