At the time, Dr. Shipway was a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of the marine biologist Dan Distel at Northeastern University, part of which is safely housed in a former World War II bunker. Dr. Distel, the director of Northeastern University Ocean Genome Legacy Center and an author on the paper, studies shipworm symbionts, which are the […]

The company recently had its technology audited for fairness by researchers from Northeastern University. She acknowledges that the bill’s auditing requirement could be tougher but says it’s unclear how to do that in a practical way, and it would be better to get something on the books. “The bill is moderate, but in a powerful way,” she […]

“I often half-jokingly refer to Marty Walsh as like a Swiss Army knife,” said John Tobin, a Walsh friend and administrator at Northeastern University. “The mayor checks a lot of boxes and appeals to a lot of different constituencies: He’s in recovery, he’s a cancer survivor, he was shot, his family’s from Ireland.”

“When we compare how the protests were handled over the summer, Black Lives Matter protests versus what we saw yesterday we saw a police department that wasn’t prepared seemed to be more at one with the protesters not seeing them as somebody that needs to be feared,” said Jack McDevitt, director of the Institute on […]

Luttig will probably know how to frame the arguments in Coca-Cola’s case in a way that appeals to the now-conservative-leaning Eleventh Circuit, said Blaine Saito, a law professor at Northeastern University who focuses on tax issues. His background also prepares him to frame the technical tax issues in the case to a court of appeals […]

“[Vaccine nationalism] might risk prolonging the crisis. If you don’t inoculate a sufficient percentage of the population, you don’t have the immunity to go back to normality,” said Nikos Passas, criminology professor at Northeastern University.

“As a supply chain person, you kind of see this sort of train wreck that you know is coming,” Nada Sanders, a supply chain management expert at Northeastern University, told me. “And now it’s just going to get worse and worse.”

In a box shipped from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health were 200 doses of Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine. The university then e-mailed eligible workers that the vaccine was available if they were interested, and by 1 p.m. Northeastern had started immunizing dozens of employees who work at school’s COVID testing sites and laboratory. Those workers […]

Northeastern University on Tuesday became one of the first universities in the country to administer the coronavirus vaccine, according to the school. After receiving 200 doses of the Moderna vaccine from the state, Northeastern gave the first dose to nearly 100 people who are included in Phase One of the Massachusetts rollout plan.

On Tuesday, 88 people at Northeastern received their first dose, the school reported. The people worked at the university’s Cabot Testing Center, the Life Sciences Testing Center, and University Health and Counseling Services. Overall the school received 200 doses of the Moderna vaccine “with more doses to come.” The school is “an official Massachusetts COVID-19 vaccine provider,” […]

Northeastern University says it is one of the first colleges in the country to administer doses of the coronavirus vaccine to staff members.

“What we’re dealing with is the capacity for the state and the municipalities to essentially mobilize themselves to be able to carry out this campaign, and they’re doing that without a lot of resources,” says Stephen Flynn, director of the Global Resilience Institute at Northeastern University. As underfunded public health departments simultaneously deal with the […]
