BOSTON – During an emotional and at times tearful news briefing, two Boston University students on Tuesday explained why they filed suit against the university and their one-time music professor, a world-renowned music French horn player, whom they claim repeatedly sexually harassed them.
The students, Erin Shyr and Maria Currie, accuse Professor of Music Eric Ruske of inappropriate touching, sending suggestive text messages and emails requesting "pics," and comparing a student's trumpet performances to sex.
For the first time, a small portable device that lets researchers study DNA in the weightless environment of space will be employed in a student-designed experiment aboard the orbiting International Space Station.
The initial experiments were designed by a 16-year-old Bedford, New York, high-school student, Anna-Sophia Boguraev. The lab device was carried aboard the SpaceX Dragon resupply ship that reached the station last weekend.
