Until recently, most neuroscience labs have conducted their experiments on males only, said essay author Rebecca Shanksy, a neuroscientist at Northeastern University in Boston. 

Claudia Haupt, a Northeastern University law professor, said licensing laws would be most legally defensible in fields where there’s real potential danger people could be hurt. 

James Heathers, a research scientist at Northeastern University known for calling out inconsistencies in scientific data, said the issues raised by Bik seemed “very unusual.”

“I feel like through this process right now the public health aspects of this issue are getting short shrift,” Mark Gottlieb, executive director of the Public Health Advocacy Institute at Northeastern University School of Law, told the committee Wednesday morning during the hearing open for the general public to share their thoughts. 

The modern era for voting rights for prisoners in Massachusetts started in 1973, “when some prisoner rights activists basically noticed that they had a right to vote and began a registration drive in MCI-Concord,” said WGBH Legal Analyst Daniel Medwed, a professor of law and justice at Northeastern University.

“When you buy a chicken breast, how many animals is that? One. Ground beef? As many as 400 animals in commercially processed beef,” said Northeastern University food safety expert Darin Detwiler. “Unless you buy steak from the grocer and grind it up yourself, you’re talking about Russian roulette.”

The arboretum is the only one on a college campus in Boston, Doughty said. Harvard University’s Arnold Arboretum is located in Boston’s Jamaica Plain and Roslindale sections, but the university’s campus is in Cambridge.
