You’ve been using social media for years to keep up with your friends, but what about networking and trying to get a job?

The department’s ACS student affiliates’ chapter was this year’s recipient of the Green Chemistry award. This accolade was given in addition to their chapter being named an outstanding chapter for the third year running – a feat that few others nationally can claim. In making the award, which was accepted at the 2013 National meeting […]

I was drawn to research on neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s. But by 1987, I switched to neuropsychiatric diseases, and that’s what I’ve been focused on ever since.

I first became interested in drugs to treat brain diseases with I was a pharmacy student at Northeastern in the early 1980s. After I got my PhD in medicinal chemistry at the University of California–San Francisco, I returned to Boston for a post-doctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School. At the time, I was drawn to research on neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s. But by 1987, I switched to neuropsychiatric diseases,…

One of the world's foremost network scientists, Distinguished Professor of Physics, Albert-László Barabási is leading an interdisciplinary team of researchers on a quest to construct the human "diseaseome"--the sum of all human diseases and the ways they relate to one another.

Physics graduate student Jinzhong Zhang was one of the young physicists featured in an article about Data Mining for b-quarks.

Understanding and predicting the biogeographic consequences of climate change requires some pretty sophisticated modeling. Professor Brian Helmuth and colleagues present a framework in the journal Ecology and Evolution to explore how confidence in our forecasts can vary depending on a few simple, measurable metrics of physiological performance.

The Helmuth Lab would like to take you where you may have never been before. Using Gigapan cameras, a number of virtual tours have been recorded in and around the Marine Science Center and beyond.
