The page that used to link to it said, "At MIT, my students chose me after reading a [little thumbnail bio](link to just the first paragraph) published by the undergraduate office. But you can see the [original, pre-censored version](the link you posted) that I mailed in." Much of Shivers's (excellent) humor has been purged from his home page; that may unfortunately be necessary in today's more puritanical times.

Is this the same Dr. Shivers that's running for a Senate Seat in MA?

Googling a bit, all I see are a Dr. Shiva running for Senate in MA, and a Dr. Ayanna Shivers in Missouri. In either case, no, different person.
