A new approach developed at MIT, the Broad Institute, and the Whitehead Institute allows researchers to study the entire genome at once.
High-performing schools raise test scores, but not abstract reasoning skills, McGovern study finds
Computational model explains how the brain can learn novel tasks while still remembering what it has already learned.
McGovern faculty, researchers and staff participated in a snowball fight in the Bldg 46 atrium. The scene was filmed for the annual McGovern holiday video greeting. See below for a photo gallery of the event. All photos courtesy of Justin Knight.
