Winter issue of Brandeis Magazine in mailboxes and online

Exploring what it means to be Brandeisian, from Ebola clinics in Africa to legal courts in the United States.

What does it mean to be Brandeisian?  

For Infectious disease specialist Steven Hatch ’91, it means going where the need is greatest: into the heart of the Ebola outbreak to alleviate suffering at a remote clinic in the Liberian jungle.

For Scott Farmelant ’86, it means waging an epic PR campaign to win justice and freedom for a young man serving a life sentence for throwing a punch.

For physicist Dimitar Pachov, PhD’11, it means creating drones to deliver life-saving medicine to the most far-flung places.

You’ll find these stories, and more, online and in the Winter 2014/2015 issue of Brandeis Magazine.

Catch up with biochemist Chris Miller and his epistemology of scientific crackpottery — a witty theory designed to distinguish the charlatans of science wedded to their own ideas, from the heroes who advance their field.

Find fascinating books by alumni and faculty, learn about campus news, and reconnect with friends in Class Notes.

It may be cold outside, but it’s warm inside the covers of Brandeis Magazine.
