...these states' statistics, the researchers estimated that there were 94,300 cases of MRSA in the entire U.S. in 2005, with 18,600 deaths. The majority of these cases - 85% of them - occurred in health care settings, such as in hospitals and nursing homes. Disturbingly, however, 14% occurred in normal community environments, in people with no recent contact with the health care system. The staph strains responsible for these infections, experts speculate, may be more aggressive, and potentially deadlier, than strains circulating in hospitals, in part because infections that are acquired in health care settings are discovered and treated more...

We are all consistently changing throughout college, and Harvard is not always the most warm and supportive place to do so. Now, as a senior (dear God), I would describe my overall experience at Harvard as a positive one. I love the friends I have made and the extracurriculars I have...
...Ocean” for his relentless stream of questions. 300th Anniversary University Professor Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, hastened to add that students don’t need to come in with a specific question or share some fascinating talent. “Just normal people are fun, too,” she said. Professors also said that the semiannual faculty dinners are often too formal and stilted to provide the best kind of interaction between students and professors, and encouraged students to think more creatively. “I don’t like faculty dinners...
