[PAR] [TLE] Harvard Microbial Sciences Initiative [SEP] The Microbial Sciences Initiative (MSI) is an interdisciplinary scientific organization at Harvard University that brings together and develops programs for faculty, students, postdoctoral fellows and others working across many Harvard Departments and other institutions in the greater Boston area - all working in one or more of the many fields of study that intersect with microbes and microbial activities.  The mission of the MSI is to seek a "comprehensive understanding of the richest biological reservoir of the planet, the microbial world."  More than 100 Harvard faculty associates are active members of the MSI community. [PAR] [TLE] Greater Boston [SEP] Greater Boston is the metropolitan region of New England encompassing the municipality of Boston, the capital of the US state of Massachusetts, and the most populous city in New England, as well as its surrounding areas.  The region forms the northern arc of the US northeast megalopolis and as such, Greater Boston can be described as either a metropolitan statistical area (MSA), or as a broader combined statistical area (CSA).  The MSA consists of most of the eastern third of Massachusetts, excluding the South Coast region and Cape Cod; while the CSA additionally includes the municipalities of Manchester (the largest city in the US state of New Hampshire), Providence (the capital and largest city of the US state of Rhode Island), Worcester, Massachusetts (the second largest city in New England), as well as the South Coast region and Cape Cod in Massachusetts.
