While these fears are understandable, they are also misplaced. Critics’ primary objections to activity-based learning stem from the particular vision outlined in the Task Force’s report—a vision that does not reflect the best that activity-based learning has to offer. Well-developed activity-based courses can create potent synergies between real-world experiences and academic exploration, an alchemy that need not intrude on students’ other extracurricular commitments. Such classes stand to significantly enrich undergraduates’ learning experiences, and deserve serious consideration from Harvard’s students...
...battery works as a commercially viable product, that alone could qualify Belcher as a climate-change hero, but her vision is green in other ways as well. Conventional batteries generate a lot of waste during manufacture, and they're a disposal nightmare.

This is my vision of the world because I grew up amongst bombing and the ruins and the dead. War was the norm and peace was the exception...
...28th president, she will bring to the University her understanding of science and her talent for listening, both of which have been key to Radcliffe’s successful Fellows Program.

Once she is at the head of the University, that strength will be essential for her to effectively lead Harvard. If Faust presents a bold vision for Harvard—which she hopefully will—she will certainly face opposition, and it will most likely...
...implementing her vision for a science program at Radcliffe, Faust has offered a promising glimpse of her leadership style and capabilities. Certainly, the challenges of being president of Harvard will go beyond than those of being Dean of Radcliffe. But if Faust meets those challenges with a bold vision and willingness to listen to those around her without compromising her ideas, she may be able to accomplish as much for Harvard as she has for Radcliffe and its fellows and scientists...
