I know I usually blog about this on tuesdays, but due to the hectic schedule I’ve had in recent days, I’m going to present a truncated version of my review of events on campus…delivered on “Brandeis-time” (more…)

I’ve been accepted to a graduate program in Neuroscience!
Hoooray!
(I just had to share)

Place your bets on which will jump the shark first:

Air America Hits Waves: Liberal Voices Get New Home on Radio Dial…

Clear Channel Launches Jesse Jackson Radio…

For anyone who thought that the Big Dig in and of itself caused quite a headache for motorists and Boston transportation…look at what’s going to happen when the DNC convention takes place:

Globe: “I-93 and North Station to be closed for Dems’ convention”
Herald: Dems the brakes: DNC will shut down I-93, North Station

North Station is a major transportation center, as it is where helf the commuter rail lines end and serves as a link to the T.

[Disclaimer: This isn't a partisan motivated post in any way. Rather it's poking fun at Boston motorists]

I’m using this post to link to the media coverage of Horowitz’s talk here at Brandeis.

Let me preface this (for now–till I make my full post on the event) by saying that to put it mildly, Horowitz veered from what was supposed to be the original topic of his lecture due to a “chip on his shoulder” that developed vis-a-vis his ad being rejected by the Justice and what he perceived to be a “rudeness” from the administration. As such, he, um, uh, got a little more “into things” then many expected.

Also, when Horowitz makes mention of “4 students he spoke with” or “4 seniors”, for terms of disclosure, I was one of the four. However, as I told Horowitz and as others know, I’m a neuroscience major (and a Hebrew minor), so my experience with the Politics department is just about nothing what-so-ever. As such I said I couldn’t be qualified to provide such an opinion. (On the other hand I can say an abundance of good things about the Neuroscience/Biology faculty)

So here’s the article from the Waltham Daily News Tribune: Horowitz calls out Brandeis educators

Two points here: there were more than 50 in attendance, I’d say more in the 75-100 range. Second, as for Cohen and Horowitz’s arguments, they were both right and both wrong (each on different things). They did speak privately afterwards, and it did appear to be a rather friendly talk.
