Daniel Dennett on NPR

Category: Science & Society

I have mixed feelings about Dennett. I really liked his book, Darwin's Dangerous Idea, but in public appearances he tends to give off a patronizing air. But earlier today I heard him on WBUR (NPR in Boston) and he did...

This is the newest from the Blobel lab. Note to all "they've discovered everything" types: this finding shows how much we know about how cells operate. Background: As I've described before the nucleus and the cytoplasm are two cellular compartments...

One More Thing Harvard Postdocs Can't Have

Category: Lab Life

OK I live 30min away from the Longwood Medical Center by foot. Most days I walk to and from work but on rainy/blizzard days I take the M2 Shuttle, a free service provided by Harvard to ship people between the...

Category: Map that Campus

This week it's an easy one. Click here for a blowup. Hint: The debate stems from work done here. What the hell am I talking about? You tell me. (P.S. Ignore the arrow.)...
