Harvard neurobiologist Florian Engert—known for his work on neural behavior in zebrafish—was awarded tenure in July in the department of molecular and cellular biology. A member of faculty since 2002, Engert has dedicated his time at Harvard to a unique way of studying neural activity that allows the researcher to observe all neurons in a functioning brain. “We look at how the brain processes sensory information—in our case, visual information—and what the brain does with that information in producing behavior,” Engert said...
...Molecular biology had a ‘bacterial’ explosion...and it produced a bunch of methods and ideas that [ecologists] started grabbing hold of,” Wilson said. “Meanwhile, MCB is starting to go evolutionary...
Watson and Wilson had once exemplified the two polarized factions of the biological sciences. Watson focused much of his career on the molecular basis of life and Wilson studied the evolution and social behavior of ‘critters...
...stick with the older program. But several students interviewed by The Crimson this week say that switching to the Gen Ed system allows them to shed requirements that they would otherwise be required to fulfill if they stayed in the Core. Fathima F. Jahufar ’11, a Molecular and Cellular Biology concentrator, went from six required classes under the Core to three required classes under the Gen Ed scheme. “I’ve only taken one Core class,” she said. “I’m just really happy...
