Steve Kerr has never been one to shy away from standing up for his beliefs. That continued on Tuesday night as the Warriors’ head coach wore a Harvard basketball shirt during his post-game press conference — making a strong statement about educational freedom. “I believe in academic freedom.

Most diseases, from heart disease and Alzheimer’s to cancer, share one thing in common — chronic inflammation. But while inflammation plays a key role in disease progression, pinpointing where it occurs in the body has always been a challenge.
