Each year, the GSAS the Harvard Horizons Faculty Fellows pick eight Ph.D. students to participate in Harvard Horizons, an initiative to recognize and celebrate the work of promising scholars. The selected students get the opportunity to present their work at the symposium and prepare through personalized coaching sessions with faculty mentors and the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning. Among the 2024 New Horizon symposium, held at Sanders Theatre, was physics G5 Noah Toyonaga, for his research "Scissors across scales: the geometry of biology, fashion, and architecture."

Prof. L. Mahadevan has been elected to receive the 2024 Weldon Memorial Prize. The prize was founded in memory of W.R.F. Weldon, an English evolutionary biologist and a founder of biometry. It is awarded every year, without regard to nationality or membership of any university, to the person who in the judgment of the Electors has in recent years published the most noteworthy contribution to biometric science. The prizewinner receives a medal and is invited to give a lecture followed by a dinner in college that enables them to meet with the Weldon Electors and other Oxford researchers ..read more

Required for most faculty searches in the sciences, chalk talks remain mysterious because they're rarely open to graduate students or postdocs. In an informal Q&A; on December 6, 2017, Prof. Stubbs, seeks to demystify this crucial component of the search process, based on his long-standing experience as a senior faculty member in Physics. He reviews top 10 Do’s and Don’ts and answers questions such as: What’s the point of the chalk talk? What are departments looking for? How should I prepare? How should I involve my PI? How to balance vision and deliverables? How to structure my talk? How ..read more
