#MIT has been doing pass/fail first semester for decades. I recently wrote a rec letter for #medstudent who went to MIT undergrad and is outstanding- despite having gone to the… #1 university in country, where he didn’t have letter grades 1 semester. Big whoop.
Are MIT students coddled? Stupid?

How can #robots break free of rigid motors and move more like organic muscles? A joint #MIT and Italian #research team has developed electrofluidic fibers that can be used to create artificial muscles. Electricity drives actuators to make them move.
