She Speaks Her Mind
While Natalie Portman attended Harvard, she was a resident of the Lowell House. She wrote a letter to the independent school paper, the Harvard Crimson, in response to an essay they published that was critical of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
She’s Published!
Did you know not one, but two of her research papers were published in scientific journals?! One of her papers from high school entitled, “A Simple Method to Demonstrate the Enzymatic Production of Hydrogen from Sugar,” which she co-authored with scientists Ian Hurley and Jonathan Woodward, was entered in the Intel Science Talent Search. The second time was in 2002. Natalie contributed to a memory study called, “Frontal lobe activation during object permanence: data from near-infrared spectroscopy” while she was a student at Harvard.
