Dear Members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences,I write to inform you of the Corporation’s response to the resolution regarding climate change adopted at the February meeting of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. I had promised to report back to you in person before the end of the semester, but I hope this communication will suffice.Both the faculty-authored white paper Harvard’s Response to the Climate Crisis (Chaplin et al.) and the arguments and comments it generated earlier this year reinforced our shared goal: confronting the existential threat posed by climate change through...…Dear Members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences,I write to inform you of the Corporation’s response to the resolution regarding climate change adopted at the February meeting of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

By Leah Burrows / SEAS Communications(CAMBRIDGE, Mass.) – When we think about sponges, we tend to think of something soft and squishy. But researchers from Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) are using the glassy skeletons of marine sponges as inspiration for the next generation of stronger and taller buildings, longer bridges, and lighter spacecraft.In a new paper published in , the researchers showed that the diagonally-reinforced square lattice-like skeletal structure of Euplectella...…By Leah Burrows / SEAS Communications(CAMBRIDGE, Mass.) – When we think about sponges, we tend to think of something soft and squishy.
