The legislation faces uncertain prospects, in part because of language defining dark patterns and the companies that would be subject to the new law that is ambiguous, said Woodrow Hartzog, a law and computer science professor at Northeastern University.

Meg Heckman, an assistant professor at Northeastern University’s School of Journalism in Boston, has found that two-thirds of national stories about the 2020 presidential race were written by men.

“We want to look at the symbionts, the bacteria that live inside these animals, to see if they are providing any nutrition, and this is an area of research we are currently focusing on,” said study lead researcher Reuben Shipway, a postdoctoral researcher at the Marine Science Center at Northeastern University in Massachusetts.

For instance, citing research by Northeastern University, the plan points out that 80 percent of students in downtown Boston and Charlestown attend high-quality public schools, while only 5 percent of students in Mattapan do.

“We were always continuously surprised by these animals,” Leila Deravi, a professor of chemistry at Northeastern University, told The Times earlier this year. “As soon as you think you kind of understand how they work, you find something else.”

“In many ways, this has always been the MO of our drug-control system, measuring results by operational metrics—by the number of arrests, the number of drug shipments seized, the weight of those shipments,” said Leo Beletsky, an associate professor of law and health sciences at Northeastern University School of Law.

Eric Lepotevsky graduated from Northeastern University and worked two jobs while living in a Somerville apartment.

Last week James Heathers, a postdoctoral researcher at Northeastern University in Boston, made public the results from a statistical reanalysis of data from the bottomless bowls study that call into question the veracity of the results. 

“That was when we knew we’d struck shipworm gold,” the study’s first author Reuben Shipway, a marine biologist at Northeastern University in Boston, says.
