This is the most moving video I’ve seen in a really long time. It’s on cancer, expectations, perspective, life, etc. etc.
It burns
Had my first whiff of 12M HCl today cause I didn’t tip the bottle away from me when I wasn’t under the hood. It burned. A lot. Like I coughed and choked and actually thought I was going to die.
Mom: I need all the party songs on my iPod! To learn it! Everyone's singing the all the all the all the put a ring on it I don't know any of it!

Breakeasy 2012
First of all, a huge shout out to Laura for throwing Harvard’s first jam. It’s pretty amazing how much she had to plan and that she got icons like El Nino and Megatron to come judge. Also, congrats to Floor Obsession for taking first place in 3v3 Bboying, Floor Lords for taking second and Lady Beast for taking first in 1v1 All Styles.
I think the highlight of the Jam for me was the...

So, that’s...

How Doctors Die
by Ken Murray
Years ago, Charlie, a highly respected orthopedist and a mentor of mine, found a lump in his stomach. He had a surgeon explore the area, and the diagnosis was pancreatic cancer. This surgeon was one of the best in the country. He had even invented a new procedure for this exact cancer that could triple a patient’s five-year-survival odds—from 5 percent to 15 percent—albeit with a...
Homeless
Today, John took a coke from a homeless man, meant for another homeless person, and drank it, in the comfort of his own home.
Edit:: This was during Street Team when we give out food and drinks to homeless people every night so… don’t worry guys, we steal food from the shelter all the time, it’s pretty normal.

Dear CND,
Dear Brigham Women’s Center of Neurologic Diseases,
I ask you, why? Why would you take away Social Hour today? You already only hold this glorious hour once every other week… whereas other labs and institutions at Harvard hold it every single week. Is it too much to ask that you stay on schedule?
Today, I have been pippetting one liquid, into another, into another, heating them,...

The Friend Zone
by Jimmy Chen
The Friend Zone is both stigmatized and empathized as a type of relationship experienced between a usually attractive female (known herein as Subjectₓ) and her futile courter, an earnest male (herein Partnerₒ) who desires a romantic relationship with her, specifically to engage in acts by which such status is defined, but “settles” for a platonic[1] friendship, which shall be...
