Kaitlyn Sadtler works at the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) as an Earl Stadtman Tenure-Track Investigator and Chief of the Section for Immunoengineering. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) focusing on the molecular mechanisms of medical device fibrosis. During her time at MIT, Dr Sadtler was awarded an NRSA Ruth L. Kirschstein Postdoctoral Fellowship and was listed on BioSpace’s 10 Life Science Innovators Under 40 to Watch. She has also been named as a TED Fellow (2018), delivering a TED talk listed as one of the 25 most viewed talks in 2018, and was named in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in Science in 2019. Recent work includes leading the National Institute of Health’s (NIH) coronavirus serologic survey, which aims to determine the undetected extent of immunity (to the virus) from across the USA. The Biochemist spoke to Kaitlyn about her broader work on the immune system and its reaction to traumatic injury.

This paper describes two approaches to teaching engaging creative engineering design classes. Both of these classes have evolved over many years using feedback from annual class reviews. One is the computer-aided design class, CAD-EX, at the University of Tokushima (UT) in Japan, and the other is the introductory design and manufacturing class, 2.007, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the USA. Comparing these two classes conducted in two difference countries, this paper discusses how we created learning environments that engage students in a variety of design-related activities.

Medical technology offers enormous potential for scalable medicine—to improve the quality and access in health care while simultaneously reducing cost. However, current medical device innovation within companies often only offers incremental advances on existing products, or originates from engineers with limited knowledge of the clinical complexities. We describe how the Hacking Medicine Initiative, based at Massachusetts Institute of Technology has developed an innovative “healthcare hackathon” approach, bringing diverse teams together to rapidly validate clinical needs and develop solutions. Hackathons are based on three core principles; emphasis on a problem-based approach, cross-pollination of disciplines, and “pivoting” on or rapidly iterating on ideas. Hackathons also offer enormous potential for innovation in global health by focusing on local needs and resources as well as addressing feasibility and cultural contextualization. Although relatively new, the success of this approach is clear, as evidenced by the development of successful startup companies, pioneering product design, and the incorporation of creative people from outside traditional life science backgrounds who are working with clinicians and other scientists to create transformative innovation in health care.

Both the authors have been members of a small Helicopter Research Team at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, whose main activities in recent years have already been described in papers presented at the V/STOL Loading Action Symposia held at Buffalo and Southampton in 1963 and 1965 respectively. It is a matter of regret that the size of this team, and indeed of corresponding teams elsewhere in Britain, has been such that significant reports could not be made more frequently. However, progress in research has been rapid elsewhere, particularly in the USA, and there has been a noticeable trend recently for changes in helicopter design. Hence, the Rotorcraft Section Committee requested a general survey of current rotorcraft aerodynamics. This is the object of the present paper, in which the findings of many workers in Western countries have been included. Even so, there will be omissions because the authors will not comment on subjects with which they have had no first-hand experience: rotor blade flutter and divergence is a notable omission on which there have been advances recently by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Southampton University.

Rudiger Dornbusch, destacado economista del Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), analiza en esta trascendental obra tópicos como inflación, deuda, tipos de cambio, política externa y mercados emergentes. El marco conceptual descansa en la corriente de la escuela de Chicago, la cual parte del principio de que el mercado es el mecanismo que garantiza la creación del progreso en contraste con el Estado, que en su afán por encontrar soluciones perfectas, fracasa regularmente en sus cometidos.
