TEDxTufts, in collaboration with the Tufts Department of Community Health, hosted its first-ever Spotlight event on Sunday. The new format, which the organizer hopes to make annual, featured brief lectures by 10 students followed by a panel discussion with three community health experts.
Since ChatGPT first made its splash entry into the market in November 2022, worries over the use of generative artificial intelligence and large language models have begun to surface. In recent semesters, we have seen faculty at Tufts begin to swap take-home papers for in-class exams in order to fairly test student understanding of course content and prevent cheating. In the Student Accessibility and Academic Resources Center, writing support staff have repeatedly been given new guidelines on how to deal with the use of generative AI in academic writing. Even within the Daily, we have received submissions that were suspected to be AI-generated and sourced using AI.
When students envision the quintessential spring break, many picture cresting waves that froth when they crash onto the warm and comforting sand, accompanied by excited shrills of children and vacationers tanning away their stresses in the sun. Yet behind these scenes are overlooked crises around the world — including in one of the top tourist destinations in the world: Hawaiʻi.
“Perhaps even more than a daughter mourning the passing of her mother, I mourn her as a writer who has just lost her most enthralling subject.”
Welcome back to the “Road to the World Cup.” We’re now just 203 days away from the inaugural match at the Estadio Azteca. Recent developments have been coming fast, so let’s get straight to them.
Protein is everywhere now — or at least, the word is. When you walk into a grocery store, it almost feels like half the aisle is trying to convince you that you’re one scoop away from collapsing from malnutrition. There’s protein cereal, protein pasta, protein donuts, protein Pop-Tarts, protein chips, protein soda and even protein water, which sounds like a product that shouldn’t exist. The implication is constant: Without added effort, you’re probably falling short. Yet many doctors and nutritionists say the average American already consumes more than enough protein. So why is it suddenly everywhere?
Roughly 41.7 million people rely on assistance from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. When the government shut down on Oct. 1, the U.S. Department of Agriculture determined that maintaining SNAP benefits wasn’t a priority — leaving nearly 42 million individuals across the country unsure of where their next meal would come from.
Something is happening here.

Tufts starts the season 2–0–0 and will be on the road this weekend, facing Middlebury Friday night and Williams in a Saturday afternoon face-off.
Medford Public Schools focus on increasing sense of belonging in upcoming academic year: Your Tufts Daily Briefing
On November’s ballot, Somerville voters were asked whether the city should divest from companies doing business with Israel. While many voters saw it as a symbolic gesture, Question 3 remains extremely problematic. The measure’s main organizer, Somerville for Palestine, claims to stand for justice, but their rhetoric and continued agitation threaten Somerville’s unity.
At a Medford School Committee meeting on Oct. 20, Interim Superintendent Dr. Suzanne Galusi presented her transition and entry findings report, highlighting the need for greater consistency — particularly regarding bureaucratic structures, greater coherence and a deeper sense of belonging across the district. Her findings emphasize the need for Medford Public Schools to strive for these goals as it navigates a leadership transition, facility needs and a major strategic planning process already underway.
One Saturday every October, Tufts students can hop on the Green Line and, after 30 minutes, arrive at New England’s largest literary festival. The Boston Book Festival, located in the bustling Copley Square, is one of Boston’s biggest events of the year, drawing upwards of 25,000 attendees annually.

For the first time in nearly a decade, girl groups are returning to the Western mainstream with a velocity that feels long overdue. Watching FLO revive R&B’s legacy of stacked harmonies and technical vocal runs feels strangely comforting, almost like witnessing a tradition being carried forward rather than revived. Katseye’s rapid rise, along with two Grammy nominations, suggests that genuine pop excitement still exists outside the churn of algorithmic hype. From a distance, it looks like a Renaissance. Up close, it feels like something deeper — a cultural correction that many of us have been waiting for without realizing it.
Tufts University has expanded its master’s programs in both public health and nutrition, offered through Tufts University School of Medicine and the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, respectively.
