This past weekend, the Tufts women’s lacrosse team had a busy weekend on Bello Field with a 15–5 victory over NESCAC opponent Trinity College on Saturday and a 20–1 non-conference win over Colorado College on Sunday.
Coming off a 10–2 record, Tufts’ pitching led the team to a sweep over Suffolk University in Saturday’s doubleheader, winning 5–3 and 10–0 respectively.
March 26, 2024: Öztürk co-authors op-ed in the Daily calling on university to adopt Gaza resolutions
After returning from Los Angeles, I feel renewed by a powerful dose of vitamin D, a few extra pounds and enough matchas to make my wallet shed a few tears. I’m happy to say we’re back! Spring is officially here! Days are getting longer and the weather is (supposedly) getting warmer! With only a handful of weeks left in the semester, one might say life is looking lusher than before.
The Mass Freedom to Read Coalition assembled on March 10 in the Boston State House for a day of advocacy, involving a book fair and a press conference with speakers including authors, state legislators, students, librarians and advocates.

Dear readers,
In his Jan. 29, 2025 executive order “Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism,” President Donald Trump ordered the secretaries of Education, State and Homeland Security to monitor activities of international students that could warrant deportation due to potential violations of the order.
From outer space to the human brain, Tufts University’s research labs explore various fields of science to uncover new insights and develop principles to test them. Diving deep into the human brain, one such Tufts lab analyzes how neurons grow and form neural networks. Cristian Staii, an associate professor of physics and astronomy, runs a biophysics lab that operates on ex vivo brain cells, mimicking actual biological environments and utilizing atomic microscopy to analyze these cells under different conditions. By examining how neurons in neural networks function and how their mechanical properties change under different environmental conditions, the team aims to mathematically explain the brain’s complex structure. Staii devises mathematical formulas for the mechanical properties of these cells, emphasizing the importance of applying physical and mathematical knowledge to different areas. His previous work across various fields led him to his current research in neurophysics.
A major trend in Hollywood filmmaking that emerged in the 2000s and continues today is the legacy sequel. In 2015, the true renaissance of the legacy sequel era began, with “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015), “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” (2015), “Jurassic World” (2015) and “Creed” (2015) all released in the same year. Quality disparities aside, the huge successes of these films proved that the legacy sequel was poised to become the future of filmmaking. Now, over 10 years later in the post-“Avengers: Endgame” (2019) era, the legacy sequel has become so naturalized that it seems inevitable.
For the majority of Americans, the consumption of alcoholic beverages plays some role in their lives, whether it takes the shape of a drink out with friends, a glass of wine at a restaurant or a beer after work. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, around two-thirds of American adults consumed alcohol in 2018. While alcohol consumption has been decreasing over time, a study from Gallup found that 54% of Americans reported drinking alcohol in 2025. A significant proportion of these Americans engage only in light drinking; the CDC found that just 5.1% engaged in heavy drinking in 2018. However, though that proportion is small, the economic costs of excessive alcohol consumption are significant and often underestimated.
The Kemp Lab, located in the newly renovated Bacon Hall, focuses on coastal stratigraphy and the reconstruction of sea levels over the last 2,000 years. A core facet of the lab’s work is its interdisciplinary approach, which combines oceanography, seismology, statistics, geochemistry and climate science. The lab — led by Andrew Kemp, an associate professor of earth and climate sciences — is one of the leading university research labs studying sea level rise, with some of the most highly cited work in this field. Professor Kemp’s lab relies heavily on geological data to create these reconstructions. Specifically, sediment cores from coastal wetlands and salt marshes provide a significant portion of the data the lab uses. The lab also focuses on the Gulf Stream and on documenting the prehistory of large earthquakes, which can cause the land to shift vertically. Additionally, researchers study isostasy models, which describe the geological equilibrium between Earth’s crust and mantle.
As the snow finally melts from Prez Lawn and the sun peeks out above the Hill, we at the Editorial Board think it’s time for all of us at Tufts to start spending some more time outside in our nearby neighborhoods. From Davis Square to downtown Boston, the area is full of unique neighborhoods with exciting upcoming spring events and activities that we recommend taking advantage of — not to mention the spring activities Tufts itself has to offer.
Two months after revelations about Tisch–Epstein relationship, subtle changes made on campus without public statement: Your Tufts Daily Briefing
A week or two ago, my host parents had a few guests over for dinner. They were family friends from Amsterdam: very interesting, opinionated and not afraid to tell a story. My host parents wanted my housemate and I there to act as jesters. We were to be the entertainment for dinner.
Q: I’m in a situationship that includes everything except commitment and basic clarity. I caught feelings but I don’t think they’re ready to commit, so I’m wondering: How do I turn my situationship into a relationship?
Files released by the U.S. Department of Justice showed close contact between Steve Tisch (A’71), a Tufts donor and alumnus and the co-owner of the New York Giants, and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Two months later, quiet changes to campus facilities and literature have renewed questions about the university’s response to the revelations.
