Sloan survey team on a quest for the universe’s ‘rare birds’
High on a forested New Mexico peak sits a metallic box whose appearance calls to mind a large air-conditioning unit, or a cargo container lifted from a ship’s hold. It is perhaps appropriate that the Sloan Digital Sky Survey telescope looks unorthodox when compared to the other telescopes at the Apache Point Observatory, for the Sloan has done a great deal to change our understanding of what the universe looks like.

Ronald Kinchla, who introduced generations of Princeton students to the science of psychology as a legendary teacher of “Psychology 101,” died Dec. 8 at his home in Princeton from a heart condition. He was 72.

Rabinowitz approaches science from dual perspective
Princeton NJ — Josh Rabinowitz has a scientific background that allows him to work in both the industrial and academic worlds, and sometimes the biggest challenge for a person like him can be finding the best fit.
