For example, on May 6 researchers at the nonprofit Environmental Working Group and Northeastern University reported that 43 states have sites where water is contaminated with toxic fluorinated compounds known as PFAS.

Northeastern University law professor Stephanie Hartung says the judge’s decision is surprising.

It may sound farfetched, but it could happen, according to a team of researchers that included professors from Northeastern University and University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.

The Virginia Beach killing is one of 11 mass workplace killings dating back to 2006 in the U.S., according to a database of mass killings maintained through a partnership between AP, USA Today and Northeastern University.

Some of the trends may be part of what Sean Gallagher, founder and executive director of Northeastern University’s Center for the Future of Higher Education and Talent Strategy, sees as a transformational period for online programs, which he said now enroll about 15% of U.S. higher education students.

Todd Brown, who is on the faculty of Northeastern University College of Pharmacy and executive director of the Massachusetts Independent Pharmacists Association, sees things differently. To Brown, the secrecy is a way for PBMs to hide their “excessive profits.”

Brownell was offered a job at Northeastern University in Boston. From there, he was able to continue the fight, in some ways more effectively than before. “When I came to Northeastern University, they offered me a refuge and gave me a platform, a desk to continue my work in dignity,” he explains.

WGBH News’ Morning Edition Host Joe Mathieu spoke with Northeastern University law professor and WGBH’s legal analyst Daniel Medwed about the latest in Massachusetts’ marijuana business. 

In a different study at Northeastern University, researchers are using big data to better understand how individual nutrients affect the body and brain. Albert-László Barabási, a computer scientist at Northeastern, says that of the 17,000 chemicals identified in food, we only know how about 150 of them affect the body. So he’s combing published research across the […]

But as James Alan Fox, a professor of criminology, law, and public policy at Northeastern University, points out in an opinion piece for USA Today, it creates a slippery slope. 

In terms of the future of his book tour, if he brings forth concrete research and documents that prove his claims, Dan Kennedy, associate professor of journalism at Northeastern University and regular panelist on WGBH’s “Beat the Press, said that some of the critiques will dissipate and the book will gain traction.
