I don't get why Harvard gets to be in the title, why a Harvard link was chosen for the story when they came third. The winner of the competition should be the story.

well this is on Harvard's site after all

Thanks for providing the source!

(tangent. anyone else having cert issues with trying to open the second link in FF?)

Is this news? What do they normally place?

intuitively, i would have thought that the most well-endowed university in the world finishing third wouldn't be bigger news than another university finishing first. but what do i know?
