The earth will be saved, as will Beard's flagging career (and bank account). An unrepentant narcissist at heart, Beard has no trouble transitioning from disinterested physicist to clean-energy messiah, addressing conference halls full...
...study was funded by the U.S. Army Research Office through a grant seeking to engineer cyanobacteria that produces biofuel molecules, such as hydrogen and biodiesel...

...cell members had been under surveillance for months after German police received a tip-off from U.S. intelligence services. Then, just before they were to strike, police raided the men's hideout in the central region of Sauerland and found dozens of detonators and 700 liters of concentrated hydrogen peroxide, a chemical used in hair bleach, which, when mixed with other chemicals, can be used to make explosives.

Before we get to our list, we have some gossip to share. We heard that Adam E. Cohen '01, an assistant professor who teaches Physical Sciences 1: "Chemical Bonding, Energy, and Reactivity: An Introduction to the Physical Sciences," popped hydrogen-filled balloons, certainly an explosive and delightful start for Harvard's beloved pre-meds. In Historical Study A-87: "Madness and Medicine: Themes in the History of Psychiatry," we heard that students got to watch an intense video of an argument between Tom Cruise and NBC's Matt T.
