Inhabitants of MIT's Green Building sent a salute across the Charles River to the Red Sox at Fenway Park during the first two World Series games on Saturday and Sunday. Professor Maria Zuber, head of the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, instigated this show of support for the hometown team, and the graduate students in the department lit up the building. The Red Sox won both games, and went on to win their first World Series in 86 years. Photo / Jacqueline A. Taylor
