...conjunction with the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Office of Physical Resources. Over the next six months, the Initiative will be keeping track of the energy consumption of 11 different buildings, including some of the biggest energy guzzlers on campus, like the Science Center and the Sherman Fairchild Biochemistry Lab. Each month of the competition will focus on a different aspect of energy conservation, such as turning off computers, closing blinds, and lowering thermostats. The contest will end on Earth Day, March 20, and the initiative will bestow its highest honors on the building with the largest percentage decrease...

Setting her story in a lab at the fictitious Philpot Institute in Cambridge, Goodman—whose first book of short stories, “Total Immersion,” was published the year she graduated from Harvard—chronicles the meteoric rise of a young scientist who falls victim to a poisonous cloud of suspicion over his research. While the novel...

...vested veteran and a free agent, meaning he will now be free to sign with any team, including, if Alexander recovers, the Seahawks. While at Harvard, Kacyvenski, a middle linebacker, concentrated in Environmental Science and Public Policy as a pre-med. He worked in a medical school lab during the summer before his senior season. His rise from poverty in Endicott, N.Y., where his father was a janitor and his mother died when he was in high school, is well-documented. “This is what I want to do,” Kacyvenski told The Crimson...
