All #NIH grants have now terminated here at #Harvard, including ours, which examined shared/distinct underlying neural & cognitive mechanisms between typical/atypical #arithmetic and #reading skills. Results would have been invaluable for development of #screening, diagnostic, & intervention tools.

A rare 'smiley face' triple conjunction is coming to Earth's morning skies on April 25, when Venus, Saturn and the crescent moon form a smirk near the horizon.

No doubt researchers will find out even more about these interactions over the coming years.

You cannot consider the future without the past.

Inspirational quote by Jefferson at Leuphana university library is contested because of the past: why a slave holder's quote in the University library?

The future is shaped and constrained by history. I think we should pay it more attention.
