The Hub (Johns Hopkins University)

We've spent a lot of time reflecting on the incredible work happening at Johns Hopkins. This includes groundbreaking research like understanding the fundamental forces of the universe, exploring the complexities of Alzheimer’s disease, and even observing butterflies in motion to enhance the design of drones. It's impressive work, and there's so much of it!

Crushing it in space

Crushing asteroid rock into dust wasn't the hard part. Figuring out how to do it in zero gravity was. "The first month of our project, we looked at all of these crushing mechanisms that work on Earth—and basically had to throw them out," says Jonik Suprenant, one of four Johns Hopkins mechanical engineering seniors behind the "Asteroid Grinder" student design project.

As American industrial might is increasingly challenged and bested by global competitors, the medical technology field remains a bright spot. "Med tech is one of the few industries where America leads," says Youseph Yazdi, associate professor of biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins University's Whiting School of Engineering and the School of Medicine, and director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design (CBID).

When the West Indian manatee first earned endangered species protection in the early 1970s, the gentle and sociable marine mammals were critically close to extinction, with only a few hundred of the Florida subspecies remaining on the East Coast. By 1991, when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service first began aerial surveillance, they counted just 1,261 Florida manatees. The primary cause of death was boat strikes, which by the late 1990s were killing more than 100 manatees a year.

Bharati Chaturvedi, SAIS '07 (MIPP), grew up in one of the few affluent neighborhoods in Delhi, India, which is among the world's poorest and most polluted cities. Although she was fortunate to enjoy the city's green spaces, she was aware that most of Delhi's population was living in very different circumstances. "I would read about how the poor were forced to bear the double brunt of inequity and pollution, but I saw it only fleetingly," she says.

A Mighty Footprint

Conversations with Daniel Taylor, A&S '67, rarely run in a single direction. They twist and fork. Topical diversions arise, sidetracks are followed, and tangential anecdotes pile up. One minute he's describing the scourge of Himalayan leeches, next, an argument he had with actress Angelina Jolie, then he's back in '68 piloting a VW bus full of hippies from Germany to India. Did you hear about the time a black bear crawled on top of him while he lay in a tent reading Tolstoy in the Grand Tetons?
Women's Issue

Women have been having abortions for thousands of years. And for just about as long, there have been, to one degree or another, organized efforts to prevent them from doing so. Such is the nutshell synopsis of a new history of abortion published in March by Mary Fissell, the J. Mario Molina Professor in the School of Medicine's Department of the History of Medicine. This much can be gleaned from the title alone: Pushback: The 2,500-Year Fight to Thwart Women by Restricting Abortion.
