Ms. Brothers, an associate professor at Northeastern University and the author of “Michelangelo, Drawing, and the Invention of Architecture” (Yale), discusses changes that director Eike Schmidt has introduced to almost every aspect of the renowned Uffizi Gallery in Florence.

Dr. Lewis, a Lyme Disease researcher at Northeastern University in Boston, and his team are working on developing new treatments for Lyme Disease under a $1.5 million grant.

Busing students across the city has been the subject of bruising debates over four decades in Boston. The discussion intensified last week in the wake of a new report by Northeastern University that revealed a four-year-old computerized system used to assign students to schools is exacerbating segregation and leaving many black and Latino students in low-performing schools, […]

The support for self-driving cars is down a bit from other surveys over the past year. For example, Northeastern University/Gallup undertook a mail survey of 3,297 U.S. adults from September 15 to October 10, 2017, and found 25% were likely to ride in a self-driving car and 54% were unlikely. In January 2018, Reuters/Ipsos completed […]

Dukakis, a professor at Northeastern University, also cautioned Democrats not to get into an ideological back-and-forth. “It seems to me that we ought to make sure we don’t get into these ridiculous intramural fights at a time when the goal has to be saving American democracy. I mean, that’s what’s really is going on here.”

When they mess up, companies should focus on building relationships rather than apologizing profusely, says Paul Fombelle, a marketing professor at the D’Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University.

Perhaps, or perhaps not, said Woodrow Hartzog, who teaches law and computer science at Northeastern University. “The idea that this is simply neutral technology that can be used for good or evil and Amazon shouldn’t be responsible, I think is purely wrong,” he said.

I asked Dave Choffnes, an assistant professor at Northeastern University whose research focuses on privacy and security in mobile devices, for some suggestions to help stop the surveillance.

Briggs’ subjects are much smaller, spikier, and perhaps less obviously charismatic. They are the mussels, barnacles, algae, crabs and sea stars that create the complex and delicate miniature ecosystems along coastal areas. Briggs is here as an undergraduate researcher and photographer on a research trip for Northeastern University’s Marine Science Center. His photos will appear […]

For generations, colleges and universities have had a monopoly on credentials. But as the global economy demands more skills and competencies for individuals to keep up with an ever-expanding base of knowledge, “we’re going to need more recognition for the learning and skills development that happens outside the higher-education system,” said Sean Gallagher, executive director […]

Researchers wading into the gun control debate have shown that people shot by criminals wielding a higher caliber gun are more likely to die than those shot with a small caliber weapon, according to a report in JAMA Network Open. “There’s the old adage that guns don’t kill people, people kill people,” said lead author […]

A new study published in the journal JAMA Network Open underscores an often overlooked factor in gun-policy debates: When it comes to lethality, not all guns are created equal. Analyzing data on hundreds of shootings in Boston from 2010 to 2014, Anthony Braga of Northeastern University and Philip J. Cook of Duke University found that on a […]
