Psychology at Tufts has long been defined not just by its research and teaching but by the people who bring the discipline to life. The recent passing of former department chair and beloved professor Sam Sommers marked a turning point, prompting both reflection and structural change within the department he helped shape.
There comes a point in many directors’ careers when making a sprawling passion project seems to be the natural progression. For Francis Ford Coppola, it was the tumultuous “Megalopolis.” For Steven Spielberg, it was the autobiographical “The Fabelmans.” And now, for three-time Oscar winner Guillermo del Toro, that career-defining victory lap arrives with “Frankenstein” (2025). The most recent entry into a canon of adaptations that ranges from James Whale’s 1931 original to Mel Brooks’ 1974 comedic spin, Del Toro’s version is a sturdy yet relatively risk-averse take on Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel.
Tufts completes various campus renovations ahead of new school year, including improvements to Tisch, campus accessibility: Your Tufts Daily Briefing
When the New Jersey Devils Fanatics Instagram page graced my feed last night, crying out to the world that there was only one more week left until hockey returns to Newark’s Prudential Center, I knew I had to write about the NHL, and about one player in particular. This player — a clear locker room presence, cheapshotting players left and right, blowing up group chats by angering opposing fans and, yes, a back-to-back Stanley Cup Champion — has certainly been a complete thrill to watch as a neutral fan.
NASA has faced threats of losing a significant portion of its funding since the beginning of the Trump administration. A recent NASA economic impact report found that, in fiscal year 2023, the agency generated $75.6 billion in economic output despite the agency’s budget being roughly $25 billion that same year — an approximately threefold return on investment. Yet, the White House proposed setting the NASA budget for fiscal year 2026 at under $19 billion, representing an over 24% cut. Congress only has until Sept. 30 to finalize NASA’s funding — to decide whether to approve or reject the Trump administration’s proposed budget cuts. As Congress has the final say over government spending, there is currently a bipartisan effort to veto the White House’s proposed budget cuts.
The Tufts Community Union Senate voted to implement changes to the Treasury Procedures Manual, the document outlining the TCU Treasury’s rules and procedures, during the first meeting of the school year on Sept. 7.

No pre-law major? No problem! Tufts students heading to law school often mix disciplines, studying everything from English to economics. Along with the support of one-on-one advising and legal internships, Jumbos have the unique ability to build a legal foundation that is as diverse as it is rigorous.
The Medford/Somerville campus underwent a significant number of small and midsized renovations in advance of the 2025–26 school year. They go beyond the completed renovation of Blakeley Hall, now part of sophomore housing, and the start of construction on a new upperclassmen residence — both of which have been widely publicized.
BookTok is difficult to describe. It is, in its earliest form, a forum that originated on TikTok for people to talk about books across social media. Now, though, BookTok has developed into the be-all and end-all of readership opinion. If a book is popular on BookTok, then it is virtually guaranteed to sell well; if BookTok doesn’t popularize it, then it’ll fade into the noise.
What does it mean to ‘grow up?’ As a college student, this seems like an essential and painfully pressing question that no one knows how to answer. Does it mean becoming self-sufficient without the support of your parents? Does it mean actualizing a career out of a degree you worked tirelessly to obtain? Is there a marker for it — some event or moment that lets you know you have finally crossed the threshold into the next chapter of your life? Is there even an answer to the question? That’s where Benito Skinner, Rebecca Shaw and Ben Kronengold come in.

Since 2022, the Daily has published 35 collectively written opinion pieces on issues relevant to Tufts students under what is called the Editorial Board. But what does this board entail, and why does its position matter? We, the Daily’s seventh Editorial Board, believe it is time to finally define who we are, what we do and why our work within the Daily matters.
