Humans are born to think that we are capable of developing a sense of basic autonomy and agency — the abilities to govern ourselves, free from external control or influence, and to make choices for ourselves to achieve an intended goal. From an early age, we learn that our frontal lobe will develop as we age, allowing us to eventually make independent decisions for ourselves and live life as we want.

The Arnold Arboretum at Harvard University spans 281 acres with a collection of more than 16,000 plants. Rodney Eason, director of horticulture and landscape at the arboretum, can recognize these plants by sight and tell their stories by heart.

From ingestible pills that track gut health to smart bandages that can autonomously provide required treatment to wounds, Tufts University’s Sonkusale Research Lab has been engineering impactful patents with feasibility principles. The lab differs from ordinary research centers because of the high value it places on the feasibility and accessibility of its solutions. The lab’s mission is to build innovations that users can afford and reproduce without expensive materials. In my interview with Sameer Sonkusale, we discussed how their lab facilitates interdisciplinary collaboration and maximizes the accessibility of their innovations, as well as some of their current projects.

The class of 2026 at Tufts School of Engineering is 49% women. Yet, the department faculty is only approximately 35% women. The distribution of faculty rank reveals an even greater divide, with each increase in professorial position leading to a decrease in the percentage of women faculty. Approximately 45% of Tufts SOE assistant professors are women, a percentage that drops to approximately 25% for associate professors and 23% full-time professors. This begs the question: Why are female-identifying professors underrepresented in the Tufts SOE?

Lately, country music has felt somewhat inescapable. Songs from Morgan Wallen’s new album hold multiple spots on the Billboard Hot 100 while echoes of a country twang have made their way into Sabrina Carpenter’s recent music. Country’s spreading influence is visible in Beyoncé’s Texan homecoming, Noah Kahan’s seemingly overnight fame or the success of Shaboozey’s hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” In a 2023 study on popular U.S. radio content, songs falling into the genre of country composed 41% (second highest to the grouped category of rock, alternative and indie) of music on the radio. That’s a percentage even higher than pop.

Free agency is rapidly approaching in Major League Baseball, and after an impressive 2025 season, Boston Red Sox fans are eagerly waiting to see what additions will be made to Manager Alex Cora’s squad. The narrative surrounding the team has completely shifted — what was once uncertainty has turned into optimism about the franchise’s future, all within just six months.

By the time visitors queued beneath the Louvre’s glass pyramid on Wednesday morning, the Apollo Gallery had already been struck. The museum had been open for about 30 minutes when a team of thieves in yellow construction vests scaled a ladder truck, used angle grinders to cut through a window at the south end of the gallery and vanished within four minutes, leaving behind gloves, tools and walkie-talkies — and, near the Seine, the dented emerald crown of Empress Eugénie. The theft — which took place mere steps away from the untouched “Mona Lisa” — netted a total of eight royal jewels worth an estimated $102 million.

Only a few weeks ago, one of my roommates asked why people are calling President Donald Trump a “fascist.” My roommate wondered how, if American conservative ideals are so rooted in limited government oversight, free trade and the supposed ‘truth,’ Trump could ever be labeled as fascist. This made me think — are we too quick to judge, or should Trump’s tendencies really be flagged as the beginnings of a fascist regime?

Those of you who know me will understand that the 50% of my brain not occupied by food is concentrated on baseball (I know, scientists have already asked to study it). Most of the time, this arrangement isn’t productive — thinking about Trader Joe’s Buffalo Chicken Dip doesn’t help me when staring down a 3–2 count.

Tufts field hockey faced Middlebury last Saturday in one of the most anticipated games of the season. Last year’s NCAA championship game saw the Jumbos fall 2–1 to the Panthers in a closely contested battle, though Tufts had beaten Middlebury during the regular season. Needless to say, the Jumbos entered this rematch with an extra chip on their shoulders against the defending champions.

The bitter memory of a homophobic stand-up routine continued to curdle in my mouth as I looked out into the street beside me. A few cars idled at the light, but the night was otherwise silent. Trolley Bus No. 8 was nowhere to be found. In a night already punctuated by poor jokes, this may have been the worst: my phone lay dead in my pocket — willingly discarded in the name of challenge — and my only guide home was a Soviet-era Russian–English dictionary, with pages 28, 31 and 79 dog-eared as an ingenious reminder of which buses I needed to take.
