This revamped curriculum will directly benefit current students and classroom culture: Already, HSPH classes running under the new curriculum have been reported to be more interactive, engaging, and practical by the student body. Beyond the improvement to classroom atmosphere are the gains in graduate preparedness...
...findings at the Syrian site have yet to be declared in any official IAEA documentation, but whatever the conclusion of the IAEA's investigation, the deepening suspicions toward the Assad regime are coming at an increasingly complicated moment in relations between Damascus and Washington. Late last month, U.S. special forces launched a raid into eastern Syria targeting an alleged al-Qaeda weapons smuggler.
