...leading universities in the world,” Executive Director of the HMNH Elisabeth Werby said in reference to the glitch. With the onset of new technologies, Mollecular and Cellular Biology has moved to the forefront of science, leaving current scientists with the problem of how to inspire the next generation of naturalists. “MCB and other departments are relatively new and exciting, but OEB has always been there. We need to go back in time for future generations so kids will have them [the OEB department] to study and explore,” said Katherine...
There’s an inherent structural problem with the IOP: It doesn’t know whether it’s an arm of Harvard or a student group. Instead, it uneasily straddles the two, and what results is a group where the adults hold the power and the students brown their noses getting as close to it as possible. In the absence of any real deed to the organization, the undergraduates of the IOP end up as neutered mandarins attending to the details of something outside their control, and lapping up the adornments of power they gain...

(The Kyoto Protocol, whose 10th anniversary is Tuesday, had required only industrialized nations to make mandatory cuts in carbon gas emissions, on the principle that those nations had created most of the problem.) Also, the delegation of the United States - long the chief spoiler of progress toward a global emissions-curbing framework while erstwhile climate-change skeptic President George W. Bush had been at the helm - has been notably restrained so far. "I'm convinced the Administration is coming here in good faith," says David...
