And by the way...
Yeah: Our graduates-to-be are pretty darned awesome. |
You can help
Johns Hopkins friends are contributing to a memorial fund for Anne Smedinghoff, A&S '09, a U.S. diplomat killed in Afghanistan. They're also backing an assistance fund for Jessica Kensky, Nurs '09, who — with her husband — was seriously injured in the Boston Marathon bombing. |
Biopsies, from the inside out
Engineers are sending what are essentially dust speck-sized pathology robots into the body to collect tissue samples and then bringing them back out. |
An opinionated faculty
A sociologist's New York Times opinion piece on marriage, a philosopher's on humanist foreshadowing of a scientific discovery, and a bioethicist's on organ donation by convicts. |

Life in ancient Egypt wasn't all pyramids and sphinxes, of course. There was also the ritual public drunkenness and sex. |

Turnaround is fair play, right? If we infect mosquitoes with (to them) harmless bacteria, we may be able to stop them from transmitting malaria. |
Book talk I: Johns Hopkins history
Faculty member Bill Leslie is commissioned to write a history of the university. |
Book talk II: U.S. foreign policy
SAIS Dean Vali Nasr criticizes Obama administration policy and discusses his book, The Dispensable Nation: American Foreign Policy in Retreat, on C-SPAN's "After Words." |
Menopausal medicine
Trainee gynecologists want more education on the needs of menopausal patients. |
Sports Beat
Senior middle-distance star Annie Monagle has overcome spinal, foot, and shin fractures, iron deficiency, and even an ulcer to become a track All-American. She, several men's and women's teammates, men's and women's tennis, and the baseball squad all have qualified for NCAA post-season competition. For the first time in 42 years, however, men's lacrosse did not make the cut. Find NCAA results here. |
Milestones & Transitions
The university will soon have a new provost and vice provost for student affairs.
Nursing Dean Martha Hill is now an honorary fellow of the Royal College of Nursing.
Engineering Dean Nick Jones will become provost at Penn State, and Peabody Director Jeffrey Sharkey has chosen not to remain for a second term. |
Research Highlights
Blocking a single gene may be the key to defanging aggressive cancers.
The brain can collate unconnected memories about places, allowing us to mentally map out new routes from one spot to another.
Bad diagnoses are a worse problem than botched surgery or medication mistakes. |
