If you’re looking for the indie genre to be the shapeshifting jewel it was in the ’90s, look no further than the creatives emerging in the 2020s. These past decades functioned as a period of resurgence and re-amplification of some of the most prominent acts of the past. Nirvana and other noise rock groups (Soundgarden, Pearl Jam) piloted punchy guitar tones and lyrically scatterbrained ideas, resulting in abstractions as opposed to the previous, more obvious concept albums. This style seems to be back in fashion with more stitching to the bright, colorful tapestry of what was so widely sought after in the ’90s.

People will always tell you to ‘network’ and ‘get involved in research,’ but it isn’t always clear what that actually looks like. As a senior biochemistry major at Tufts, I’ve figured out some effective ways to do both, so here are my four tips for first-years pursuing a STEM major or minor.

When love rears its head, it’s not always a pretty sight. “Together” embraces this truth and stretches it to its most grotesque limit. Michael Shanks’ new film is not only a supernatural body horror, but also a comedy and a relationship drama. The fusion of genres is literalized in the fusion of flesh — a process that is terrifying, ugly, funny and erotic all at once.

Today, yoga is a billion-dollar industry in the Western world, but its roots and journey to Boston are deeply complex, shaped by many influential figures from India who helped introduce yoga to the West.

Once I submitted my last final and the freedom of summer washed over me, I made a radical decision: I would not spend a single second of break doomscrolling. Pulling out my deteriorating phone, I gleefully deleted all my social media apps, committing myself to saving my attention span and being morally superior to my peers. But it only took one 40-minute layover on my flight home for me to supplement my need to scroll with another vice: obsessively checking the news.

While it may seem like they just arrived on the Hill, the Class of 2026 is now embarking on its final year of undergraduate studies, a year defined by fun senior events, stressful applications and lingering course requirements. For many seniors, the end feels within reach, as most of their degree-specific classes are things of the past.

Sports are defined by moments. Moments captivate us, anger us and most importantly, entertain us. With the rise in short-form content, such moments are only increasingly consumed by the masses all over social media. Moments in sports are critical to defining our fandoms, and our opinions formed from them define our views of the players. Pivotal moments such as Kawhi Leonard’s Game 7 buzzer beater or Antonio Brown’s walk off the field shape viewers' opinions on the players, regardless of what side you’re on. They may generate adoration, but more often than not, they lead to outrage.

Dear Tufts Community,
(09/02/25 6:01am)
The media that individuals consume dictates their views on society. The average individual sees more than 5,000 advertisements per day, each of which has the power to shape their beliefs, attitudes and expectations. Hence, it’s imperative that popular media uplifts marginalized groups, rather than confining them to stereotypes that can normalize sexism, racism or homophobia. Gender stereotypes have persisted in popular media, from sexist portrayals of women in 20th century advertisements to their depictions in movies and music today. Although the representation of empowered women has increased, gender-restrictive stereotypes and the objectification of women are still prominent in popular media today.

There’s a special kind of anxiety I feel sitting in a room full of students, suspended in the silence between a professor’s question and the first raised hand. As I’ve spent the past week preparing to teach a class as part of Tufts’ Explorations program — a part of our Experimental College in which upper-level students instruct incoming first-years about a topic of their choice and help them adjust to college — I’ve been thinking, and worrying, about that dreaded silence. Why, in so many classrooms full of skilled learners, is this such a familiar phenomenon?

In 1980, 15-year-old Brooke Shields appeared in a series of print and television ads for Calvin Klein. In one particularly memorable commercial, she delivered the brand’s provocative line: “You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing.” The ad sparked widespread outrage — largely because of Shields’ age — with numerous networks refusing to air it.
