This Week at Harvard: July 6 to July 12

Hope you enjoyed the holiday weekend, Harvard—we know that coming back to work after a weekend filled with stars, stripes, and BBQ will be inevitably difficult.

IN THE ATMOSPHERE

OK, so it’s only supposed to rain one day this week, which definitely a step up from last week’s gloomy weather (rain on the Fourth of July—really, Cambridge?). After some thunderstorms on Tuesday, expect clear skies and warm temperatures, up to 86 degrees for the rest of the week.
