| Understanding Schizophrenia| |
|
|
| | A brain circuit needed to incorporate new information may be linked to schizophrenia, MIT neuroscientists find. They say impairments of this circuit may help to explain why some people with schizophrenia lose touch with reality. |

| | | | Joshua Bennett's new book sings an ode to the America that was, is, and will be // The Boston Globe |
|
|
| "We (The People of the United States)," a new book-length poem by Professor Joshua Bennett, "moves from a brief and autobiographical segment ('We') to a longer but no less personal section ('The People of the United States'), which includes a wide-ranging celebration of everything from George Washington Carver to the Beach Boys, Robert Frost to Sun Ra." Says Bennett: "I started to think of it as an ode to invention. There are poems in the book about individual people, but there are also poems about the television, the typewriter, [and] the trampoline. I really wanted to celebrate the invention of a people, the invention of a country, [and] the invention of a certain vision of the human genre." |

| | | | Researchers at MIT Lincoln Laboratory developed mini microwave sounders that are providing key insights about rapidly intensifying storms, such as hurricanes, during the critical windows of their growth. Designed to fit shoebox-sized CubeSats satellites, these microwave sounders can fly close to the Earth's surface, allowing for increased and faster monitoring compared to geostationary satellites and polar orbiters. "We can start to capture how the storms are changing and how they evolve and try to improve the forecast," says Lincoln Lab Fellow Bill Blackwell. |
