Other goals, like attending college, have been deferred for now. Boston Ballet has a partnership with Northeastern University that allows company dancers to complete degrees at a pace that accommodates their rigorous rehearsal and performance schedules. All three of the roommates say they’d be interested in attending Northeastern if they are drafted into the company. […]

Geoff Trussell had just hired six new faculty, and the 50-year-old facilities at Northeastern’s Marine Science Center just weren’t going to cut it. So the university built its Nahant campus some brand new ones. Over the last year, walls have been knocked down and built up to turn obsolete and rundown classroom space into laboratories […]

McKenzie has been removed from the team “until further notice,” Brown said. The decision to bring McKenzie on conveyed a complicity with rape culture, said Dan Lebowitz, executive director of Sport in Society at Northeastern University.

Until now, every person who utilized the technology has had the same voice — which sounds deep and computerized. But thanks to VocaliD, that’s changing. “You see a 3-year-old girl using that voice, and then you see a 40-year-old male using that voice, and it’s odd. It can’t really be an extension of the individual […]

In modern times, skepticism has spiked with every new example of cheating, such as the use of performance-enhancing drugs. Even as our culture elevates athletes to superstar status and follows their every move, we are quick to watch them fall from grace and then spread real-time gossip about what happened, said Dan Lebowitz, executive director […]

There’s also a cultural resistance that stems, understandably, from the health and safety of research subjects’ being the boards’ utmost concern. IRBs have required privacy protections for decades, but even today, if you take a standard training on conducting human research, data security is an afterthought, said David M.J.

This gap in education engagement has dire economic consequences for boys.

[…]

The “Journal Rappe” program shows just how innovative hip-hop artists remain in Senegal, says Murray Forman, an associate professor of media and screen studies at Northeastern University. “They’re taking it to some different place, a place we don’t commonly see hip-hop which I think is fun and exciting,” he said after watching their programs online.

Authorities say they uncovered a “dungeon” in Portway’s basement. CBS Boston reports the room was sound-proofed and contained handcuffs and a child-sized coffin. Disposable scalpels were also uncovered, the Associated Press reports. “This man looks like he went beyond just having ideas,” Northeastern University criminologist Jack Levin told CBS Boston. “He made plans. He prepared by investing […]

Although there’s no way to know for sure why the researchers did not detect aging in S. pombe under favorable conditions, one likely explanation is that the cellular damage is being repaired at the same rate that it’s being formed, said Eric Stewart, a microbiologist at Northeastern University in Boston, who was not involved in the study. […]

After years of struggle and, most recently, historic protests throughout Romania and abroad, over 20,000 people took to the streets in Romania last week to protest a mining project in the western commune of Roşia Montana.
