July 20, 2020

The Taconic Mountain Ramble is just a few miles from the Hubbardton Battlefield, the site of the only Revolutionary War battle in the state of Vermont. The 204-acre property was a labor of love for Carson “Kit” Davidson, a New Yorker who acquired the property in 1966 and spent his days blazing trails and designing the site’s Japanese gardens. The Ramble is home to waterfalls, ponds, bridges, meadows, sheer rock cliffs, and views of the rolling hills. Its centerpiece……

Exhaled biomarkers can reveal lung disease

July 20, 2020

Using specialized nanoparticles, MIT engineers have developed a way to monitor pneumonia or other lung diseases by analyzing the breath exhaled by the patient. In a study of mice, the researchers showed that they could use this system to monitor bacterial pneumonia, as well as a genetic disorder of the lungs called alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. “We envision that this technology would allow you to inhale a sensor and then breathe out a volatile gas in about 10 minutes that……

Barkin’ Springs in Austin, Texas

July 20, 2020

Located immediately downstream from the spillway current that comes out of Barton Springs, Austin’s big, spring-fed, municipal swimming hole, Barkin’ Springs just might be regarded as a direct rebellion against its bigger neighbor, and its admission fees, lifeguards, and no-dogs policy. The visitors from all walks of life who congregate at this swimming hole seem to share one common value: their love for dogs. This canine-lover’s paradise is almost always filled with life and activity, from owners playing fetch,……

July 20, 2020

Can you recognize a digitally manipulated video when you see one? It’s harder than most people realize. As the technology to produce realistic “deepfakes” becomes more easily available, distinguishing fact from fiction will only get more challenging. A new digital storytelling project from MIT’s Center for Advanced Virtuality aims to educate the public about the world of deepfakes with “In Event of Moon Disaster.” This provocative website showcases a “complete” deepfake (manipulated audio and video) of U.S. President Richard……

A mechanical way to stimulate neurons

July 20, 2020

In addition to responding to electrical and chemical stimuli, many of the body’s neural cells can also respond to mechanical effects, such as pressure or vibration. But these responses have been more difficult for researchers to study, because there has been no easily controllable method for inducing such mechanical stimulation of the cells. Now, researchers at MIT and elsewhere have found a new method for doing just that. The finding might offer a step toward new kinds of therapeutic……

The dual PhD problem of today’s startups

One of the upsides of this job is that you get to see everything going on out there in the startup world.
