I still remember how I felt when I first stepped foot on Tufts’ campus. It was one of the admitted student days (Jumbo Days, as they’re lovingly coined), and everyone around me was practically buzzing with excitement. Despite the windy April chill, all of the students were eager to get a tour of campus and see what life was like for a Jumbo.

The frantic pace of modern life has revolutionized not only the communication landscape, but the academic landscape as well. In the epoch of smartphones and personal computers, it is all too obvious how pervasive technology is in each and every one of our lives. When generative AI and large language models, such as ChatGPT, intermingle with the existing technologies in our everyday lives, the problem is only exacerbated.
At their Feb. 24 meeting, the Medford City Council unanimously passed a resolution to request a comprehensive litigation report from Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn and her administration of all lawsuits the city has been served since 2019.

I’ve met so many people here in Barcelona. I’ve made friends with people as close as UMass Amherst and as far as the Netherlands. And while it is amazing to meet all of these people, I miss the people at Tufts. I miss my Jumbo community.
I haven’t ugly cried from watching a movie in a very long time, but something about sad Chinese drama movies always makes it impossible for me to hold back my tears. And that was my activity last Tuesday night: alone in my room, crying about emotions that I couldn’t pinpoint in the moment.

The mission series, Artemis, is aptly named after the Greek goddess of the moon.

Gila monsters can eat up to a third of their body weight in one sitting. Humans cannot. So what makes us different? Beyond our obvious lack of scales and a tail, humans do not have the hormone exendin-4 in our saliva. Exendin-4 allows Gila monsters to eat enormous quantities of food while maintaining a functional metabolism and stable glucose levels.
