...cell demigod Prof. Douglas A. Melton and former National Institute of Mental Health chief (and now University provost) Steven E. Hyman dropped by, as well as a few HMS researchers and pharmaceutical company executives. And what course on medicine and society wouldn’t be complete without a visit from Prof. Michael J. Sandel himself? But beware, for all the dazzle of the star-studded cast, the problem sets and exams are, well, Chem 30-esque. If you can survive the graduate-level work and the graduate-level grading (sorry, no breaks for undergrads), you’ll gain...
...over completely. According to some, it could happen again. And ESPPers are the only ones who will be equipped to stop it! And if it isn’t enough that ESPP concentrators can stop a new ice age or rub elbows with Al Gore when he comes to visit ESPP 10 (it happened in 2004), they may also get a surprise trip to Madagascar. Professor Glenn Adelson, the recipient of two Levenson Teaching awards, takes his junior tutorial, “Conservation, Nature, and Biodiversity,” to a different tropical locale each spring. Last year, students were...

Aides said Benedict prayed privately for the victims of the attacks, noting that it is rare for popes to speak out on foreign trips about news events not related to the country being visited. But some reporters grumbled unfavorable...
...year-old would not stay silent for long on the topic of faith-based terror. On Tuesday, in a riveting and provocative university lecture, the Pope explored the philosophical and historical differences between Islam and Christianity-a speech that would become the surprise centerpiece of a five-day visit that many had expected would be mostly just a walk down memory lane. There is little doubt left that Benedict is indeed highly attuned to the risks of fundamentalist terrorism. In fact, it is testament to where this problem stands on his list of priorities that he used the occasion...
