Launching a Space Mission From the Deepest Ocean

The search for extraterrestrial life is bound to lead one place — underwater. To prepare for this reality, scientists from Harvard and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution are narrowing in on autonomous ocean-floor vehicles equipped with cutting edge cameras and sophisticated sensors that can wirelessly alert researchers hundreds of miles away when something of note happens. Pretty cool stuff? We’d say so.
03
The Scope of TESS

David Latham of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics is tasked with an incredible mission — overseeing the selection and study of planets that are viable candidates for life as captured by TESS (the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite). In this interview with the Harvard Gazette, Latham discusses everything from TESS’s ground-breaking camera technology to the conditions required to foster life as we do (or don’t) know it.

Sports Genomics

What if you could create designer probiotics using the gut bacteria of elite athletes, and what if those probiotics could enable consumers to tap into the biological advantages that make those athletes so special? Sound like science fiction? Maybe not…

The Biggest Industry You’ve Never Heard Of

When you picture a screaming, sold out crowd at Madison Square Garden, esports (AKA professional gaming) might not be the first thing to come to mind. But with a current global audience of 385 million people and annual revenues of nearly $700 million, esports has become a growing and lucrative industry that’s promising enough to have even the owner of the New England Patriots investing.
