Gregory's Server@siderea huh, so I tried harvard square to the museum of natural history using pedestrian directions and they are as wild (but correct) as you'd expect. So google *knows* for sure how to get there...

@siderea huh, I'm not sure. It's so hard to imagine academics ever moving their labs unless enticed with ridiculous amount of money, but I guess it's been a while since I paid attention.  @bipolaron Oh, ahahah, what timing: https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2020/9/30/seas-move-to-allston/ @bipolaron @bipolaron "Relocating to Allston are the departments of applied computation, bioengineering, computer science, robotics, and virtually all the SEAS administration (much of it housed at 114 Western, adjacent to the SEC), including the office of Dean Francis (Frank) Doyle. @bipolaron So, uh, I guess Harvard is now competing very directly with MIT in engineering? This is quite the thing: @siderea It seems like about time, Harvard has a lot of funding to buy a lot of very nice equipment and buildings. I'd feel great about seeing it except that somehow grants or patents are going to ruin things. It's sad UMass Amherst is so far, they are really impressive too. |
@bipolaron Huh, this screenshot brings up a random extremely tangential question: is SEAS still *there*? I thought they had new digs across the river near the B school.
(Once upon a time, this was an extremely important issue in my professional life, but then I started practicing online and it doesn't matter where my clients' lab benches are, so long as they get to somewhere in Massachusetts before the session starts.)
