Northeastern University professor Costas Panagopoulos said it was clear Obama was trying to articulate a sense of urgency.

“If you need to be out in the water column — making your measurements, collecting the weird organisms that are there, doing engineering tasks — and you’re operating from the surface, you don’t have the luxury of time,” Mark Patterson, a professor of marine and environmental sciences at Northeastern University, one of Cousteau’s partners on […]

“Trabecular bone is an exceptional, lightweight structural material,” says Donahue. Until now, no one had studied the properties of this bone tissue in dinosaurs. The focus on trabecular bone makes the new study unique, says Sandra Shefelbine at Northeastern University in Massachusetts, who wasn’t involved in the work.

Northeastern University professor Costas Panagopoulos said this has happened before with second-place finishers: Hillary Clinton in 2008, Jesse Jackson in 1988 and Ted Kennedy in 1980.
