Robert Savoy
Dr. Savoy received his academic training in applied mathematics at MIT (BS 1971; MS 1975) and experimental psychology at Harvard University (PhD 1980). This period included 10 years of work at Polaroid Corporation’s Vision Research Laboratory, after which he joined the newly formed Rowland Instit...
The Secret Lives Of Martinos Folk: Radio, Nerds, and Where Punk and Science Meet
When you hear the words "MIT radio station" you might imagine a group of nervous, bow tie-clad engineers crowded around a chalkboard with a Venn diagram of Roger Dean album covers and Silmarillion references. And you might be forgiven if you did. Such stereotypes of science and engineering studen...

The Epigenetics of Aging: Understanding neurodegeneration at the gene transcription level
Over the past century, life expectancy has doubled. Consider for a moment the impact of this factoid on our interpretation of the aging brain. Prior to the 20thcentury – indeed, throughout nearly all of history – there was likely no evolutionary pressure for humans to live beyond reproductive age...
