Department of Education launches investigation into potential Tufts data privacy violation: Your Tufts Daily Briefing
Rooting for the United States, whether it be in the Olympics, the World Cup or any other sporting event, almost always leads me to some degree of internal confusion. Sure, I’m as much of a red-blooded American as the next guy, but it’s often difficult to reconcile the instinct to root for the home team with the knowledge that its banner — so often touted as that of the ‘good guys’ — is emblematic of a nation flawed at its core.

Two Medford residents have filed a federal lawsuit seeking to strike down the city’s newly enacted Values-Aligned Local Investments Ordinance, which requires the city to divest public funds from companies involved in weapons manufacturing, fossil fuels, private prisons and entities accused of human rights violations. The lawsuit sets up a legal and political battle over the limits of municipal authority and the role of local government in international affairs.
Welcome back to “Serve & Survey.” This week’s question came from a movie night watching Disney’s “Inside Out 2.” In the movie, a group of animated emotions fight for control, but, in the end, they learn that they are all needed to make Riley who she is. That made me wonder: What would happen if we didn’t let all of them stay? People always say emotions make us human, but we all connect to some feelings more than others. So, if we had to get rid of one, which emotion would be the easiest to cut? I took this exact question to campus.
With 112 days until the World Cup, even the CVS in Davis Square is stocking tournament merchandise. I sat down with two Tufts students to hear what the tournament means to them.
Somerville to decrease budget by $5 million, residents share priorities in community hearing: Your Tufts Daily Briefing
Celebrities are some of the most talked-about people in our society, and social media only amplifies this effect, giving us seemingly constant access to these stars’ lives. If there’s any doubt about whether people take advantage of this access, just look at the like counts on some of these celebrities’ posts. Take Taylor Swift, for example, who is arguably not only one of the most famous celebrities but also one of the most influential women in the world. Swift’s engagement announcement post received an impressive 37 million likes. This means that, including those who saw it and didn’t like it, more than 37 million sets of eyes landed on this post. Although I’m a big fan of Swift, I also believe that she — and many other high-profile celebrities — are not doing enough to advocate for the underprivileged.
The NBA Dunk Contest used to be a special showcase of the pinnacles of basketball athleticism: Michael Jordan’s free-throw line dunk in 1987 and Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine’s legendary duel in 2016 are the most famous examples.
In the Cousens Gymnasium on Sunday, the Tufts women’s basketball team celebrated senior guard Annie Aspesi and senior forward Sarah Crossett before their last regular season contest. With playoff seeding on the line, the Jumbos ultimately fell to the Bates Bobcats in a 68–50 decision.
Welcome to the first installment of the Daily’s finest soup column. Whether you are a soup novice or enthusiast, we’re thrilled you’re here. Our passion for soup started when we realized something important: Soup builds community. It warms and nurtures, bringing people together regardless of season and texture. As meals go, soups are quick to make and can be incredibly varied! Soup recipes are easily doubled, tripled and more — perfect for freezing to enjoy at a later date. Making soup tends to require less cooking skill than other dishes. But, with so many soups to choose from, how could you possibly know where to start? That, dear reader, is where we come in. We are your soup shepherds, guiding you as we embark on this journey to broths, bouillions and bisques together.
“The cure is where the disease is not, and the disease is where the cure is not.”
The Somerville city budget is expected to be reduced by nearly $5 million this year due to a slowing economy and federal funding cuts.
For most students, science is limited to the lab bench — pipetting solutions and taking precise measurements to check the validity of their hypothesis. Yet, beyond the world of the wet lab, quietly supporting scientific discovery, is the high-stress, high-reward business of biotechnology. Last week, Ted Myles, chief executive officer of Cellarity, came to speak at Tufts as part of the School of Engineering’s Biotechnology Industry Series. He spoke candidly about his journey, sharing several insights into the lessons that have shaped both him and his career.
For centuries, it was believed that the production of oxygen relied on one component: photosynthesis (the conversion of light energy into chemical energy). Plants and algae use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, providing the foundation of life on earth as we know it. However, the discovery of ‘dark oxygen’ — produced in environments with little to no sunlight — challenges this assumption, proving that oxygen production is not actually limited to photosynthesis.
