  Harvard Society of Fellows - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Harvard Society of Fellows is a collection of luminaries selected by Harvard University to be held close to its bosom, given special honors, thrown elegant dinners, and upon whom various privileges are bestowed.
Junior Fellows are selected by Senior Fellows based on their previous academic accomplishments, and are financially supported for three years to do independent research in any discipline.
Ten promising scholars are selected each year as Junior Fellows to give men and women at an early stage of their scholarly careers an opportunity to pursue their studies in any department of Harvard University, free from formal requirements.

 About the Society of Fellows
Although prospective Junior Fellows need not be working towards advanced degrees, most have recently received or are candidates for the Ph.D. The number of Junior Fellows at any one time is limited normally to thirty, and usually ten are chosen each year.
Junior Fellows are required to be in residence in Cambridge or neighboring communities during the academic year and to attend the weekly lunches and dinners.
Junior Fellows are selected for their resourcefulness, initiative, and intellectual curiosity, and because their work holds exceptional promise.

Each fellow will have one half-day a week in an out-patient rotation with a faculty member, during which the fellow is exposed to the spectrum of patients with renal disease, and acquires the management skills needed to treat and follow this patient population.
Fellows are also encouraged to write a brief research grant proposal under the guidance of the mentor, a process that helps crystallize the candidate's research plans, and provides a training forum in grant writing.
Fellows are however encouraged to interact with the other principal investigators and their personnel in the program, a process that will increase their overall knowledge base, and expose them to new fields and techniques that could be invaluable in their pursuit of independent scientific careers.

During the first year, fellows maintain their own continuity clinics on Monday and Friday, which allows them to gain an understanding of the course of rheumatic diseases over time.

 Assessing Admissions  -  Harvard Magazine (May-June 2006)
Harvard, Princeton, and Yale were all worried that they would suffer from “WASP flight” (which had overwhelmed Columbia and Penn) if they did not find some way to limit Jewish enrollment.
No doubt, Harvard’s financial-aid initiative for low-income students (see “Class-Conscious Financial Aid,” May-June 2004, page 62) and similar reforms at Princeton and Yale would not have been possible without the recent upturn in investment performance for all three schools.
For example, Roland Fryer, a Harvard Junior Fellow, and two coauthors recently estimated that five times as many fl students are enrolled in selective colleges as would be under “race neutral” policies, an estimate that is consistent with discussion of affirmative action in The Chosen.

 Harvard Gazette: Wing color not just for looks
A group of blue-winged butterflies has led Harvard and Russian researchers to an improved understanding of how new species can be formed.
Hessel Professor of Biology Naomi Pierce, a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study this year, said a critical factor in this research is the fact that the butterflies are still closely related enough that they can - and sometimes do - interbreed.
The research was conducted by doctoral student Nikolai Kandul, Pierce, Putnam Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology David Haig, Harvard Junior Fellow Joshua Plotkin, and their collaborators at St. Petersburg State University in Russia, Vladimir Lukhtanov and Alexander Dantchenko.

 Study Sheds Light on Critical Relay in Visual Circuit of the Brain
Shatz, who is also co-chair of the Harvard Center for Neurodegeneration and Repair (http://hcnr.med.harvard.edu/), says that an intact subplate normally acts like a form of building scaffolding for the neural circuits, directing and strengthening important nerve signals, before disappearing.
By examining the brains of cats with their subplate neurons removed, the researchers have shown that not only is the structure involved in strengthening the signal from the LGN to the layer 4 neurons, but without it, the distinctive ocular dominance and orientation columns do not form.
During this period, she was appointed as a Harvard Junior Fellow.

 History of the Harvard Cyclotron
Harvard was, of course, proud of the fact that it was able to help these other local institutions.
Firstly Dr Kjellberg was not in the center of Harvard’s medical activities and the medical community were not as aware of the possibilities as were the physicists (although Dr Milford Schulz, head of the Radiation Medicine Department at MGH supported it).
Although Harvard was not the first cyclotron to use protons for radiotherapy it was for many years the most successful, largely because of the close cooperation between the physics department, the cyclotron staff, and the physicians at MGH.
