The Financial Times explores new MIT research into the mechanics behind underwater or “internal waves.” Through their work, which could prove useful in climate modeling, researchers found that ocean ridges and channels cause the gigantic waves to form.

Boston Globe reporter Carolyn Johnson examines a study led by MIT bioengineer Linda Griffith. The study is a first step in providing a more informed way of classifying endometriosis a disease which Griffith herself suffers from.
