Harvard missed the opportunity to hire a qualified black woman as the President. Instead, they prioritized a leftist agenda pushed by Islamist radicals in exchange for $$$.

To be clear, Harvard will be just fine and people will still vie to get in, but they did make some serious mistakes here.

Read what Harvard itself has to say, then decide.

- and a Jewish response to Harvard’s situation on campus leading up to 2024:

The constant claims of antisemitism are getting tired. Most of us can separate Jewish people from Israel the state. But if you want to tie Jewish identity up in Israel and more specifically Israeli genocide, then yes, being anti genocide will mean being anti Jew.

This is an Islamist position that Jews can exist as long as they support giving up the only Jewish homeland to become yet another conquered Islamic nation. Oh and Israel is NOT committing a genocide. Your people made that up to justify continuing to colonize the Middle East.

So personally, I don't consider "economics" as really a STEM degree as is truthfully associated with the business school more than anything.

I think my original statement holds. Harvard is not a STEM powerhouse.

Here’s a clearer breakdown of Harvard’s Nobel laureates by the type of affiliation — based on official Harvard lists and typical academic definitions. The categories are:

Alumni — studied at Harvard (undergrad or graduate)

Faculty when prize-winning work was done — actively Harvard teaching/research faculty at the time the Nobel work was done

Former faculty or other temporary roles — once taught or researched at Harvard, but not as the setting for the Nobel work

Other affiliations — visiting positions, short-term researchers, fellows, etc.

I’ll illustrate with actual examples to make each category concrete.

🧬 1. Alumni (Studied at Harvard)

These laureates attended Harvard as students (undergraduate or graduate):

Dudley R. Herschbach – earned AM and PhD at Harvard but did not do his Nobel work while on Harvard faculty (Chemistry, 1986).

Sheldon Glashow – got his PhD at Harvard; Nobel in Physics 1979 (his work wasn’t Harvard faculty research).

David M. Lee – Harvard BA; Nobel in Physics 1996 (work elsewhere).

Interpretation: These count as affiliated alumni, not as Harvard researchers at the time of their Nobel work.

🧪 2. Faculty at the time of Nobel-winning work

These are people who were Harvard faculty researchers actually doing the work recognized by the Nobel Prize:

Gary Ruvkun (Medicine, 2024) — Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School when he won.

William G. Kaelin Jr. (Medicine, 2019) — Harvard professor and researcher (Nobel work tied to his lab there).

Claudia Goldin (Economics, 2023) — Henry Lee Professor of Economics at Harvard; Nobel work tied to her long academic career there.

Oliver Hart (Economics, 2016) — Long-time Harvard professor.

Alvin E. Roth (Economics, 2012) — Harvard professor when awarded.

Thomas C. Schelling (Economics, 2005) — Harvard professor when his major work was done.

👉 These are the strongest Harvard associations — the Nobel work was done while they were part of Harvard’s faculty.

📉 3. Former faculty / other roles

This is a looser affiliation — the laureate once taught or held a position at Harvard, but the Nobel work was done elsewhere or after they left:

Victor Ambros (Medicine, 2024) — noted as “formerly at Harvard,” but his Nobel-winning work isn’t tied to Harvard labs.

Amartya Sen (Economics, 1998) — Held an emeritus or earlier role, but much of his Nobel-recognized work was already completed before returning to Harvard.

So Harvard counts them because of prior roles, but their Nobel impact isn’t Harvard-centric.

🌍 4. “Other” / Organizational affiliations

Some Nobel laureates are counted because of non-traditional roles or indirect associations:

Maria Ressa (Peace, 2021) — Was a fellow at Harvard Kennedy School when awarded Nobel Peace Prize (fellowship is a temporary affiliation).

Peace prize organizations linked to Harvard initiatives (e.g., International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War includes Harvard founders).

These are not faculty or alumni in the usual academic sense, but they are counted in broad tallies.

🧠 Summary Table
Affiliation Category What It Means Example Laureates
Alumni Studied at Harvard, Nobel work done elsewhere Herschbach, Glashow, Lee
Faculty at Nobel work Research & teaching at Harvard when doing Nobel-winning research Ruvkun, Kaelin, Goldin, Hart, Roth, Schelling
Former Faculty / Other Roles Taught or was affiliated earlier; Nobel work not tied to Harvard Ambros, Sen
Other / Temporary Visiting fellows, program affiliations at time of award Maria Ressa, peace org founders
📌 Key Takeaways

✔ Not all “Harvard-affiliated” winners were Harvard professors doing the work there.
✔ Many are alumni, or had brief roles, or were fellows.
✔ Only a subset were active faculty researchers at Harvard performing the Nobel-recognized work.

Harvard’s broad count blends all of the above, which is why their number looks so large — but a more academically meaningful subset are the faculty researchers whose Nobel work was tied to Harvard itself.

So much winning. America is in terminal decline. I guess it is time for our best and brightest to start considering studying abroad in China. They are taking over all rankings for best universities and research in the world.

But thank god ICE is asking for citizens' papers, we are starting multiple new wars, and the country has a whakcy brain worm leader pushing junk like sunshine and chelation therapy to treat autism.

USA, land of the dumbasses.

Yeah, posts like this amaze me. Harvard was never a STEM powerhouse. It's a law/business school.

IMO the fact that Harvard is so weak at STEM is a major factor in why they demand so many Visas.

You can't fix a broken education pipeline by perpetually importing already trained people from other countries.

I mean at some point you have to look at all these H-1B professors and teachers from other countries and say they are failing to teach us.

Harvard University has one of the highest numbers of Nobel Prize-affiliated individuals in the world, with over 120 laureates associated with the institution as alumni, faculty, or researchers.


Recent Harvard-Affiliated Nobel Laureates
Gary Ruvkun (2024, Medicine): Discovered microRNA.
Victor Ambros (2024, Medicine): Discovered microRNA (formerly at Harvard).
Claudia Goldin (2023, Economics): Advanced understanding of women's labor market outcomes.
Carolyn Bertozzi (2022, Chemistry): Developed click chemistry.
William Kaelin Jr. (2019, Medicine): Discovered how cells sense oxygen.
Michael Kremer (2019, Economics): Researched poverty alleviation.
George P. Smith (2018, Chemistry): Developed phage display.
Oliver Hart (2016, Economics): Researched contract theory.
Martin Karplus (2013, Chemistry): Developed multiscale models for complex chemical systems.
Alvin E. Roth (2012, Economics): Researched market design.
Key Areas of Distinction
Medicine/Physiology: Numerous laureates from Harvard Medical School, including Jack Szostak (2009) and Linda Buck (2004).
Economics: A high concentration of laureates, including Amartya Sen (1998).
Physics/Chemistry: Multiple winners, such as Roy Glauber (2005, Physics).

On posters like this, “affiliated” is a very broad, marketing-friendly term — it does not mean all of these people were long-term Harvard professors or that they did their Nobel-winning work there.

Universities usually count anyone who fits any of these at any point in their life:

✅ What “Harvard-affiliated” typically includes

1. Alumni

Undergraduate degree (AB/BA)

Graduate degree (PhD, MD, MBA, etc.)

Even if:

Their Nobel work happened decades later at a totally different institution

2. Faculty (past or present)
This can include:

Tenured professors

Tenure-track

Visiting professors

Short-term appointments

Sometimes even:

A single year visiting position gets counted

3. Researchers
Such as:

Postdocs

Lab researchers

Research fellows

Often very temporary roles.

4. “Formerly at Harvard”
This is the loosest category — like your example:

Victor Ambros (formerly at Harvard)

That could mean:

Postdoc years ago

Early faculty job

Visiting role

Not necessarily when the Nobel work occurred.

🌍 About nationality / immigration

They don’t restrict it to Americans.

If someone:

Studied at Harvard as an international student

Worked there before or after immigrating

They still count fully as “Harvard-affiliated.”

So yes — many laureates later moved to the US or passed through Harvard briefly.

📊 Why the numbers get so high (120+)

Because Harvard is counting across:

✔ undergrad + grad
✔ long-term + short-term
✔ before Nobel + after Nobel
✔ Americans + internationals

Some universities only count faculty when the work was done there.
Harvard uses the widest possible definition.

🧠 A more honest way to interpret the poster

When you see:

“Harvard has X Nobel-affiliated individuals”

It really means:

“These people passed through Harvard at some point in their careers.”

NOT:

• They were all professors
• They did Nobel work there
• They were tenured
• Harvard “produced” the discovery

⚖️ If you want a tighter meaning (academically serious stats)

There are usually three real categories scholars care about:

Category Meaning
Alumni laureates Got a degree there
Faculty at time of prize-winning work strongest connection
Loose affiliation marketing bucket

Posters usually mix all three.

🎯 In short

“Affiliated” = anyone who studied, worked, or briefly held a position there — at any time.

It can mean:

undergrad

postdoc

tenured professor

visiting scholar

immigrant scientist who passed through

All counted equally.

Maga celebrates when universities tank.

Why bother having a list if you don’t shuffle it around a bit every year.

I heard they're now serving TACOs in Trump's honor every Tuesday and Thursday at Harvard.

And Trump is so mad about it that he is raging and going on about ludicrous lawsuits. Come on guys, Grandpa is unhinged!

He teaches at Tufts and is on leave for the Harvard visiting professorship.

I truly thought you were baiting gullible people into looking him up. Hysterical and interesting. Thanks for sharing.

America has an open society. We make it super easy to start a company here, compared to other countries. Our open society is also much better for creativity. Yes, I understand we are having problems right now but I think we will get through this and change for better.
