The United States is facing an increase in human infections by drug-resistant bacteria. One such bacteria, called New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, is considered especially dangerous due to the fact that the bacteria are “resistant to some of the strongest antibiotics available.”
Throughout the past few decades, antimicrobial resistance has been on the rise as a result of increased antibiotic use. Like an arms race played out on a tiny scale, pathogenic microbes develop mechanisms to survive against the antibiotics used to kill them, rendering those antibiotics less useful in treating infections.
CARE introduces Community Integrity Program: Your Tufts Daily Briefing
Last Saturday, Tufts field hockey, the then No. 7 overall team, took on then No. 5 Bates in a homecoming competition. Both teams went into the game with only one conference loss, with Tufts at No. 1 and Bates at No. 2 in the NESCAC.
This year, Tufts’ Center for Awareness, Resources and Education is rolling out the CARE Community Integrity Program, an educational initiative geared toward helping students who have caused, or are concerned about causing, harm to another member or group in their community. CCIP is a revised version of the national Science-based Treatment, Accountability and Risk Reduction for Sexual Assault program, which was created for people found in violation of sexual misconduct law, opting for a more personalized approach.
The Massachusetts House of Representatives approved updates to Medford’s linkage exaction program, which enables the city to charge developers fees to offset the cost of public infrastructure improvements, sending the bill to the State Senate.
“Every day is awesome” for Rodney Eason, director of horticulture and landscape at the Arnold Arboretum. Founded by Harvard in 1872, the land was converted into a park by the father of American landscape architecture, Frederick Law Olmsted, and the founding director of the Arboretum, Charles Sprague Sargent. Today, the Arboretum is a living museum, a research institution and one of the nine public parks that form Boston’s Emerald Necklace.
Telling people that I am a part of a DJ duo is super strange. It’s not because of the actual act of DJing, but because my first-year self would probably have a heart attack if I told him what I was doing with my time. My partner and I are going into our second year as the DJ duo known by the name rnr.dj (everyone should go follow on Instagram: @rnr.dj_).
A lot of my classes are, quite frankly, hard to get through. While sometimes it’s because I am not interested in the subject or because the lecturer has a voice that lulls me to sleep, it’s often the quality of the classroom itself that determines how much I like each class. Many of my classes have taken place in small, dark basements, and, of those, only a few have windows. As I sit there, minutes start to feel like hours and I cannot wait until the clock changes to finally go home.

Tufts alumnus Peter Bendix (LA’08) does not have a fixed job description. As the president of baseball operations for MLB’s Miami Marlins, Bendix’s work spans across the organization and involves numerous aspects of the team, from player development to creating a successful culture within the clubhouse.
On my flight back to Boston from Hong Kong, I watched “Comrades: Almost a Love Story” (1996), a Hong Kong film directed by Peter Chan and starring Leon Lai and Maggie Cheung — the perfect ending to my summer. The bittersweet emotions this romantic melodrama evoked quickly earned it a place at the top of my list of Hong Kong classics, despite its poorly translated English title. The original Chinese name, “Tian Mi Mi,” literally means “Sweet Honey,” a far better description of the film’s tender yet heartbreaking tone.
Tufts Public Safety to offer civilian response training for active shooter scenarios: Your Tufts Daily Briefing
In 2024, the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawerence was handed one of the most lucrative contracts in NFL history at the time: five years and $275 million. Yet, one year after inking the deal, both the Jaguars’ head coach and general manager were fired following the 2024–25 season. It turns out that giving your 25-year-old quarterback — who has only had one year of above-average play — a record-breaking contract while he’s coming off a season in which his passer rating dipped by seven points leaves your team with one of the worst records in the league and a quarterback still in decline. So naturally, the question arises: Does Lawerence deserve his contract? The answer is yes — but only if you can’t find a better or cheaper equivalent.
In its 111 years, the Somerville Theatre has seen quite a lot: two pandemics, two world wars and the likes of Bruce Springsteen, U2 and Tracy Chapman. Through it all, it has continued to bring joy to moviegoers and filmmakers alike.
On Wednesday from 10-11 a.m., Tufts Public Safety will host a training session on civilian responses to an active shooter. The training, which has been offered every semester since 2022, equips students with strategies to address and reduce the risk of a potential active shooter situation.
Comedy isn’t always easy to laugh about these days.
A new cinematic canon may very well be emerging. Films like “One Battle After Another,” “Civil War” and “Eddington” have all painted unique yet not dissimilar portraits of a discordant, extremism-prone America — a vision that seems increasingly resonant under Donald Trump’s second term. Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Bugonia,” a paranoid pressure cooker of a thriller that’s as weird as any of the Greek director’s previous works, is yet another film that shares this vision.
