So how exactly did said poem get all stitched together in a neat package, with rhyming words and little morsels of clever phrases? We went straight to the source: MIT assistant professor and CSAIL principal investigator Jacob Andreas, whose research focuses on advancing the field of natural language processing, in both developing cutting-edge machine learning models and exploring the...
By Matthew Perrone | Associated Press WASHINGTON — Federal health advisers said Wednesday that a decades-old birth control pill should be sold without a prescription, paving the way for a likely U.S. approval of the first over-the-counter contraceptive medication. The panel of FDA advisers voted unanimously in favor of drugmaker Perrigo’s request to sell its once-a-day medication on store shelves alongside eye drops and allergy pills.

By Brian Lloyd The publication of On the Origin of Species in 1859 rattled the foundations of religious belief in every corner of the book-reading world. We know a good bit about the debates that ensued because they still flare up wherever there are people who insist on the literal truth of the origins myth found in the Judeo-Christian bible. Unless we are historians, we probably know a good bit less about a controversy that Darwin’s book stirred up among scientists at the time. The scientific community long ago reached a consensus on this issue, but the contrasting positions staked out by Darwin and other evolutionists bear scrutiny for the light they shed on a matter that is still far from settled. Darwin’s...
