Myriad Launches New Website for Harvard Center for Cancer Prevention

The Harvard Center for Cancer Prevention, part of the Harvard School of Public Health, has partnered with Myriad to create a new site for the Center, and to add additional features and functionality to the Center's interactive website, "Your Disease Risk."

Myriad has worked with the Center for Cancer Prevention for nearly four years, first designing the existing website, then adapting "Your Cancer Risk" to the more comprehensive "Your Disease Risk." In addition, Myriad Principal Ted Groves has remained consistently involved with the Center in a consulting and advisory role.

Groves said, "This is part of our core mission at Myriad; we firmly believe that we should use our knowledge, experience and skills to contribute to advancing the work of the Center for Cancer Prevention. There's nothing more satisfying than sharing a commitment to a common goal, and being able to work with people who give us the opportunity to make a difference."

Myriad will continue to work with the Center to create multiple language versions as well.

USS Constitution Museum Website Goes Online

Myriad has created a new website for the USS Constitution Museum in Charlestown, MA. Having worked with the Museum to create the multiple award-winning printed and interactive versions of All Hands on Deck: Learning Adventures Aboard "Old Ironsides," as well as numerous other online and printed projects, Myriad is deeply familiar with the subject matter and audience that the Museum serves.

The new website offers visitor information, access to the collections, history and background, and a wealth of information about the Museum and the USS Constitution. The site is consistent with the branding program that Myriad has created for the Museum.

"We've had a long relationship with the USS Constitution Museum, and we're thrilled to be able to apply the brand that we've created for the Museum to the new website. The site will be simple to use, and visually compelling for an audience ranging from educators to overseas visitors to K-12 students."

Myriad is also working with the Museum on several other online and printed initiatives.

Myriad, Inc., a leading New England interactive and print strategy and design firm, has been chosen to create a new Cancer Research website and web-based information sharing tool for Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). Having successfully completed a new online presence for the MGH Cancer Center, Myriad's familiarity with the subject matter, staff and procedures of the hospital have proven highly advantageous.

The project is two-tiered, with a public-facing information website describing the latest research at MGH and giving contact information for investigators; and an internal site for sharing information and resources within the MGH/Harvard communities.

Myriad is also working with MGH Radiation Oncology on a data storage and access project, the details of which are confidential.

Improve the performance in your classroom with Building Blocks' new website

Myriad and Mass Insight Education, a Boston-based nonprofit organization working to improve student achievement in public schools, recently launched a ground-breaking website (http://www.buildingblocks.org) as part of the Building Blocks Initiative for Standards-Based Reform. The new website is a free online resource for educators, including step-by-step blueprints of practical, field-tested school improvement strategies ("building blocks") derived from the work of successful schools as demonstrated by MCAS achievement scores and other measures.

The website, which is currently available in "preview" mode while the first year’s research is being posted, is organized around the four Building Blocks of standards-based reform: a higher standards for curriculum and culture; improving teaching practices focused on that curriculum; using data effectively to monitor progress and shape instruction; and interventions for students needing extra help.
