After 58 years, the world-renowned researcher continues to explore the secrets of the universe. His explorations are a mystery to most of us, conducted with a stream-of-consciousness array of mathematical symbols reinforced by terminology that sounds like English taken to the third power.

In her research, Rodman studies social media’s effects on adolescents as they mature, and especially how they respond in stressful circumstances. In the Character Virtue Development program, Rodman identified an overlap: an interest in the overall well-being of adolescents.

Jim Chen, a professor of civil and environmental engineering and marine and environmental sciences, expects a lot of strong hurricanes this year that will require preparation to mitigate impact.

Nearly 200 Boston teens and young adults gathered at Northeastern University on Tuesday to kick off another year of the Boston Summer Youth Employment Program.

In a paper published this past spring, Northeastern University professor Damon Hall argues that ‘citizen science’ partnerships historically have been unbalanced, with researchers taking more from participating communities than they give back.
