AALTO UNIVERSITY: AI ENHANCES SECURITY SCREENING - MASTER'S THESIS IMPROVES SEE THROUGH SOLUTIONS' CAMERA TECHNOLOGY

See Through Solutions aims for global markets with a solution that modernizes and speeds up security screening. Its terahertz-based thermal camera can accurately and discreetly detect objects hidden under clothing. The solution removes the need for manual inspections, helping large numbers of people move more quickly through locations such as border crossings, transport hubs and large public events.

In the company's technology, the detection of threat objects, such as weapons, plastic explosives and drugs, is automated using artificial intelligence. However, training suitable AI models for this purpose is challenging: collecting sufficiently large and diverse training datasets from terahertz images is labor-intensive and cannot cover every real-world scenario.

Aalto University computer science student Syed Ashraf developed an AI solution for See Through Solutions in his master's thesis, improving the detection of threats hidden under clothing.

AALTO UNIVERSITY: INVITED TALK: SWEDISH EXPERT EXPLORES THE FUTURE OF E-TEXTILES

In his presentation titled "Merging Textiles and Electronics - and Beyond," Prof. Persson, head of the Smart Textiles Technology Lab at the University of Boras, shared the latest developments and future directions in the fast-growing field of electronic textiles (e-textiles).

E-textiles, which integrate embedded electronic functionality into traditional fabrics, represent a major transformation in how materials are designed for human use. "Modern textile research is now blurring the line between material and device," Prof. Persson noted, underscoring that textiles can now act as interactive systems rather than passive materials.

He highlighted how conductive fibers and embedded sensors enable fabrics to sense, respond, and even aid in medical applications. Examples ranged from wearable health monitoring systems and assistive textiles to innovations in soft robotics and adaptive materials. These advances promise to merge therapy, prevention, and comfort into continuous, textile-based healthcare solutions.

AALTO UNIVERSITY: NEW PERSPECTIVES THROUGH COURSE COLLABORATION: VAISALA WORKS WITH THE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

Vaisala has joined Aalto Design Factory's Product Development Project (PdP) several times - and they keep coming back for a reason. As Product Manager Nevon Mansour puts it, "I see it as a great channel to do projects with students and to understand current technology you get out‑of‑the‑box ideas!" For Vaisala, the collaboration is a two‑way learning experience: "It's a good learning experience in both directions," she emphasizes, where students gain real project experience and Vaisala gains fresh perspectives and concrete development work.

This year's brief, 'No More Connectors', is a good example of how real and relevant the challenges are. "This was a timely and suitable topic that you can really deep‑dive into in the PdP format. It's practical and not too broad, and when the result comes, it's easy for us to continue developing it further. It's something that could actually become a product one day, not just another project," Nevon explains. The student team is carrying out technology scouting and market mapping that Vaisala's own R&D would otherwise need to do, but with the added benefit of diverse student viewpoints and the DF resources.

The collaboration doesn't only deliver prototypes - it brings new tools and practices back into sponsoring company. "Last year we incorporated the DF's PD6 workshop, a product development sprint in 6 hours, as a way of working to our toolbox," recalls Product and Package Design Specialist Noe Anttonen. The experience has also sharpened how Vaisala frames challenges for student teams: "We realized how important it is that the scope and brief are concrete enough. The more focused it is, the easier it is to grab onto."

BANGOR UNIVERSITY HOW DOES RAPID POPULATION LOSS IMPACT GENETIC DIVERSITY?

The animation from researchers at Bangor University, the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA), the Norwegian Veterinary Institute, and UiT The Arctic University of Norway explains how genetic diversity evolves.

Their ongoing research investigates the consequences of a management response to an invasive fish parasite. In several Norwegian lakes, authorities used the biocide rotenone to remove all fish, and thus the parasite. Afterwards, these lakes were restocked with captive-bred fish. Researchers are now examining what that reset has meant for the broader genetic diversity of the fish populations. Their concern is that these sudden population collapses may have caused significant genetic losses. With reduced genetic diversity, recovering populations may be less resilient to disease, less able to cope with environmental change, and more vulnerable to future challenges.

BANGOR UNIVERSITY BRAIN DRAIN IN RURAL WALES ISN'T INEVITABLE ‑ WE ASKED GEN Z WHAT WOULD MAKE THEM STAY

What we feel about our hometowns - the places we grew up, the people we know, the memories we made - shapes who we are.

For many young people in rural Wales, those ties run deep. The mountains, villages and slate landscapes are more than scenery. They are part of family stories and everyday life. But even though they care deeply about where they live, many feel they are being pushed to leave for education or work.

Our report focused on the slate landscape of north-west Wales, a Unesco world heritage site known for its historic mines and quarries. The area includes towns like Blaenau Ffestiniog, where the slate industry once shaped both the economy and the culture.

BANGOR UNIVERSITY NEW RESEARCH SHOWS SMARTER USE OF WOOD CAN HELP COOL THE PLANET

A major new international research project has demonstrated the most effective way to use wood to achieve enduring global cooling.

Led by researchers at the University of Galway, with an international consortium including Bangor University, the study examined the combination of using low-value wood for manufacturing before it is converted to fuel for clean energy generation, with carbon capture and storage, when the products reach end of life.

The scientific analysis showed that the strategy can play a critical role in achieving climate neutrality targets.

The researchers detailed the strategy of combining forestry with "cascading" use of wood products and revealed that it provides more resilient and long-term climate benefits than either directly burning harvested wood or leaving forests unharvested.

CWU President Jim Wohlpart and Associate Vice President of Tribal Relations Zoe Higheagle Strong met with Yakama Nation Tribal Council on March 3 in Toppenish to sign the MOU, which outlines the ways in which university and tribal leaders will work together to maximize access and opportunity for Native students across Central Washington.

"This agreement is a commitment to building a lasting relationship between CWU and the Yakama Nation, and it establishes that leaders at the highest levels will be involved in these conversations," said Higheagle Strong, who has worked closely with Yakama Nation leadership prior to joining CWU in January.

She added that the MOU formalizes a series of talks between CWU and the tribe that started before the pandemic, but it doesn't create any specific expectations for either side.

"It's more of a relational contract," Higheagle Strong said. "But both sides agree that it will help us create a mutually beneficial relationship now and in the future."

CWU: WENAS CREEK MAMMOTH PROJECT FEATURED ON 'ROOTS OF THE VALLEY' SERIES

CWU Anthropology Professor Dr. Patrick Lubinski was recently featured on KIMA-TV as part of its "Roots of the Valley" series.

Lubinski was interviewed by reporter John Franklin about the Wenas Creek Mammoth Project, a CWU-led research project near Selah that gained national attention about 15 years ago.

According to a description on the CWU website, the interdisciplinary investigation used methods from paleontology, archaeology, geography, and other fields, with a goal of "careful scientific recovery and analysis of bones and associated artifacts, while placing the finds into context." Roots of the Valley logo

Lubinski led off the KIMA interview by explaining that the archaeological and paleontological dig he and his colleagues conducted in the Wenas Valley from 2005-10 uncovered a collection of mammoth bones from centuries ago. He recalled how CWU hosted 9,000 visitors from across the country to learn about the site and the excavation methods that were used to complete the work.

Lubinski talked about how, during the late Ice Age (approx. 17,000 years ago), the Wenas Valley - located northwest of Selah - provided an ideal environment for mammoths to thrive.

"There was enough good grass around here, in the Ellensburg and Yakima area, to support mammoths, and we think they were eating something like 700 pounds of grass per day," Lubinski said, noting that the research team also uncovered bison bones that date back to the Ice Age.

Lubinski explained that the remains that were found were of the Columbian Mammoth, not the more commonly known Woolly Mammoth. He said the remains found in the Wenas Valley were "relatively small," but when taking a closer look at the bone samples, researchers determined that the animals likely stood at least 10 feet tall.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY SEEKING PROSPECTIVE HOMEOWNERS, VOLUNTEERS FROM CWU

Aspiring homeowners in the Central Washington University community are encouraged to apply for the third and final phase of a Habitat for Humanity (HFH) development north of campus known as Stuart Meadows.

Twelve three-bedroom homes have already been built on the corner of Water and Bender streets, and the Habitat for Humanity of Seattle, King and Kittitas Counties affiliate will complete the last six residences this year. CWU President Jim Wohlpart and Habitat for Humanity Area Director Stephanie Bohman CWU President Jim Wohlpart and Habitat for Humanity Area Director Stephanie Bohman celebrated the launch of the Stuart Meadows project with the community in 2023-24.

Two of the homeowners from Phases I and II of the project are from the CWU community, and Area Director Stephanie Bohman would like to see more applications from CWU faculty, staff, and students for Phase III. Those interested in applying for one of the new homes are encouraged to apply online. Applicants should express their interest soon as final decisions will be made in the coming weeks.

"It's no secret that economics are strained, and we offer an exceptional opportunity for residents who make below the median income in Kittitas County ($68,000 per year) to become homeowners," Bohman said, adding that three more units will be built on Willow Street beginning this spring.

As board member Delano Palmer explained, Stuart Meadows and similar HFH developments offer CWU employees and students - and other members of the local community - an affordable option for home ownership.

"Habitat for Humanity is playing a significant role in our future by creating affordable housing in an area that desperately needs it," said Palmer, who also serves as CWU's Director of Capital Planning and Projects. "These projects give local families an opportunity to own a home, and they also give people looking for volunteer opportunities a chance to make a difference in their community."

AN ENDURING LEGACY: CWRU STUDENTS SHARE HOW THEIR MENTOR-MENTEE RELATIONSHIPS HAVE SHAPED THEIR EXPERIENCES

A mentor can make a lasting impression a pupil carries through life-transcending career stages. Hiba Obeid, a PhD student in genetics at Case Western Reserve University, is an example of just that, often reflecting on the lessons she learned from Elias Rahal, her master's program faculty mentor in Lebanon.

"He didn't just teach me the technical skills of being a scientist; he truly believed in my capabilities," said Obeid. "His mentorship was the foundation that gave me the confidence to pursue my PhD and be where I am today."

Thousands of miles and years removed from those impactful lessons, the insights Rahal imparted on Obeid reverberate at Case Western Reserve University. Now, Obeid shares what she's learned with Karisa Liaw, a fourth-year undergraduate student she mentors in the Chopra Lab at CWRU.

Mentorship relationships are like a family tree, with lessons passed down from generation to generation. At Case Western Reserve University, women in science are carrying those lessons forward-supporting one another in fields where mentorship can be the difference between staying or stepping away. In recognition of Women's History Month, celebrated annually in March, we spoke with three women who share a common mentorship lineage.

"Mentorship is the backbone of the scientific community; it is the primary way knowledge and experience are passed down," Obeid said.

STUDYING HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION, CWRU RESEARCHER EXPLORES TECH-ENABLED MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT

As she coped with the grief of suddenly losing her dad during her undergraduate degree, Alexis E. Block, Dr.sc, longed for a hug from her mom and grandmother. This prompted an important question: Can robots provide emotional support for humans? Alexis E. Block Alexis E. Block

For Block, the answer is one day, hopefully. She worked through her master's and doctoral studies to develop the first human-sized interactive hugging robot with visual and haptic perception, and is now an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering at Case School of Engineering. Block's research explores the ways robots and technology can provide empathetic, emotionally intelligent responses and address mental health challenges to enhance human well-being.

Using robotics to emotionally support humans has been a compass for many projects in her lab - the Social and Physical Human-Robot interaction (SaPHaRI) Lab. The SaPHaRI Lab is part of the Human Fusions Institute (HFI), a Case Western Reserve University institute pioneering research in neural engineering and human-technology integration.

The SaPHaRI Lab is developing wearable devices that help people communicate their emotional states and desire for interaction and robots to provide mental health support to astronauts in space, among other innovations.

"HFI provides shared resources and a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary environment that supports the research of labs with a shared mission, like SaPHaRI," said Mark Mykleby, executive director of HFI. Building compassionate robots with human-centered design

AstropPsych, a project that the SaPHaRI Lab developed, aims to provide emotional support for astronauts in space. It also has applications on Earth for people experiencing real or perceived barriers to access support.

For astronauts in space, a delay in communication between space and ground can greatly impact mental health support provided by therapists back home. This delay is unavoidable and could last up to 20 minutes one way when astronauts travel further from the Earth, according to Moiser et al.

Austin Wilson's childhood dream of becoming an astronaut had fallen to the wayside during his teen years, but it was always at the back of his mind. After graduating from CWRU with his bachelor's in computer science, he began to examine what he really wanted to do-and began to look to the skies.

He returned to CWRU and is now pursuing a master's degree in computer engineering while he prepares to fulfill the requirements to become an astronaut.

"I am actively taking flight school courses as well as scuba diving training since astronauts also train a lot underwater," Wilson said.

In 2024, Wilson (CWR '22) joined the Social and Physical Human-Robot interaction (SaPHaRI) Lab, which uses empathetic, emotionally intelligent, human-centered design to create technologies that enhance human well-being across robotic and digital interactions. It's led by Alexis E. Block, D.sSc, assistant professor at Case School of Engineering. Mission: Mental health

As a student in the lab, Wilson is working on a project that combines his dreams of becoming an astronaut with Block's passion for social robotics and mental health. Wilson is developing a multimodel framework - a system that can process various inputs, such as speech or eye gaze data, to generate an appropriate, empathetic robot response.

Sandra Christie, PhD (GRS '76, '83, sociology), has committed $2 million to establish the Sandy Christie Scholarship Fund, expanding access and support for graduate students pursuing their studies in sociology at Case Western Reserve University's College of Arts and Sciences.

In addition to providing scholarships, the fund will help offset educational expenses, including childcare, that can present barriers to pursuing an advanced degree-support Christie says was critical during her own academic journey.

"This commitment continues a decades-long investment in graduate education at Case Western Reserve that Sandy began before she even completed her PhD," said David Gerdes, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. "She has been a wonderful partner to the College of Arts and Sciences for more than four decades, and we are very grateful to her for enabling us to expand resources for these students at a critical point in their careers."

In her early childhood years, Christie became fascinated by The Iliad and The Odyssey and was so inspired by Homer's epic tales that she aspired to be an archaeologist. However, a car accident during her undergraduate studies left her unable to meet the physical demands of archaeology and set her down a path that ultimately led to earning her master's and PhD degrees in sociology from Case Western Reserve University.

Christie had brief stints in both academia and the corporate world before co-founding and leading a research and consulting business for two decades. Working primarily in healthcare, higher education and politics, Christie broke through the glass ceiling in an industry in which she was frequently the only woman in the room.

CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF PORTUGAL: THE PRESIDENT'S EASTER MESSAGE

In the face of the anxiety our times call forth, nature inspires us with quiet confidence. The newly arrived Spring with its mild warmth reminds us that, even after the most ravaging and uncertain periods, after the storms, in nature as in life, life is reborn with a serene and inevitable strength.

As the Gospel of Matthew teaches us in the Sermon on the Mount, "Consider how the lilies of the field grow: they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?" (Mt 6, 28-29). At Easter, we are called to trust, to rest in the certainty that there is a time to rest and overcome, and that blooming often happens quietly, yet with profound beauty.

May this be our guiding motto this Easter: to nurture hope, to lighten the weight of our worries, and to let the light of renewal lead us. Like nature, we too are made of new beginnings.

CHALMERS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY: ENGINEERS OF SWEDEN AND CHALMERS AIM FOR GREENER TRANSPORT

The results of four preliminary research studies at Chalmers University of Technology are paving the way for solutions that can contribute to greener transport, reduced emissions and more efficient mobility. The projects, which were recently presented, have been funded by a donation of one million kronor from the Swedish Engineers' Environmental Fund (Stiftelsen Sveriges Ingenjorers Miljofond).

The four projects represent different research areas, but are united by the goal of contributing to more sustainable transport systems. The solutions are based on research in fields such as automation, electromobility and environmental science. Staffan Bjurulf, research officer at Engineers of Sweden Staffan Bjurulf, research officer at Engineers of Sweden (photo: Engineers of Sweden). Potential for improved traffic flow and reduced emissions

"It was fascinating to hear the results from all four projects," says Staffan Bjurulf, research officer at Engineers of Sweden, after the researchers at Chalmers presented their projects.

In one of the projects, Adaptive and Network-Level Traffic Signal Control for Sustainable Traffic Management (ANTSC), the researchers carried out measurements in central Stockholm and Gothenburg and investigated how traffic flows can be analysed and improved to contribute to more efficient mobility and reduced environmental impact.

"Here there is potential for people in Gothenburg and Stockholm to get around faster in traffic with lower emissions. We naturally hope to see this type of research result realised," says Staffan Bjurulf.

CHALMERS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY: 17 NEW PROFESSORS INSTALLED AT CHALMERS

At Chalmers' inauguration of new professors on 20 March, 17 new professors were installed. The solemn ceremony also recognised and honoured four adjunct professors, seven affiliated professors, and three visiting professors.

The inauguration of new professors is an academic ceremony held every other year, and the professors installed have taken up their positions during the period from July 2024 to the end of 2025.

In his address during the ceremony, President and CEO Martin Nilsson Jacobi emphasised that the role of professor is greater than any ordinary job.

"You are, in every practical sense, now Chalmers' foremost academic representatives. You will continue to be pioneers, but you are also senior figures who must pass on scientific work to future generations. You are also likely those best equipped pedagogically to explain your field to people outside academia. In other words, you are a link between past and future generations of researchers, but also a link between academia and society."

This is an important responsibility, he underlined. Conducting advanced research is a privilege, and contributing knowledge to society is academia's way of giving back.

The ceremony is framed by a procession accompanied by live music, this time performed by the Chalmers Baroque Ensemble, and the formal installation proceedings were interspersed with entertainment by the Chalmers Choir and the group Runaway Jam. The latter also contributed several performances during the subsequent dinner in the student union restaurant.

A collaborative study by researchers from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has revealed that vegetation recovery following sudden permafrost collapse varies dramatically across regions, ranging from less than a decade to over a century. The study identifies gross primary productivity - a measure of plants' photosynthetic capacity - as the key factor determining how quickly affected landscapes regain their greenness, and allows scientists to accurately predict how long it will take a specific site to recover after a permafrost collapse. The findings have been published in leading journal Nature Climate Change.

The study was co-led by Professor Liu Lin of CUHK's Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Professor Mark Lara, a professor of plant biology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and his postdoctoral researcher Dr Summer Xia Zhuoxuan, who is also a PhD graduate of CUHK.

A GRASSROOTS INITIATIVE CONNECTS CLEMSON SCIENTISTS ACROSS ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION

Ecology and evolution are often taught separately, but scientists say the two are closely connected, making it difficult to fully understand one without the other.

"Everything an organism does is influenced by its evolutionary history and its ecological relationships," said Michael Caterino, the John and Suzanne Morse Chair of Arthropod Biodiversity in the Clemson University plant and environmental sciences department. "Those two really tie everything else in biology together."

That idea is central to a new initiative at Clemson aimed at bringing researchers together across disciplines to study how life changes and persists in a rapidly shifting world.

The ecology and evolution initiative, led by faculty from multiple departments and colleges, seeks to connect scientists who have historically worked in separate spaces despite overlapping interests.

"Theodosius Dobzhansky famously said that 'nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution' and this statement is still largely true," said Robert Anholt, Provost's Distinguished Professor of Genetics and Biochemistry and the director of faculty excellence initiatives in the College of Science.

MINES ALUM TURNS OPPORTUNITY INTO IMPACT FOR NEXT GENERATION OF PHYSICISTS

At every important step in her career as a physicist, Cathy Mader '87, MS '89 jumped at an unexpected opportunity. As an undergraduate at Mines, a professor opened the door to graduate studies, which she hadn't considered as a possible pathway for herself. Upon completion of her PhD at Michigan State University, Mader applied to a physics faculty job outside of the usual hiring cycle at Hope College, which became her professional home for 30 years. When a position opened on the Experimental Physics Investigators (EPI) Initiative at the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, Mader jumped one more time.

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY: OCEAN VUONG AND LAURIE ANDERSON DISCUSS WHERE IDEAS COME FROM

A poetry of pure sound emerged from the throat of acclaimed writer, professor, and photographer Ocean Vuong, hovering over a low synthetic beat provided by the iconic multimedia artist Laurie Anderson (BC'69, SoA'72).

Let me back up: Early on a recent Thursday evening, the area around the Lenfest Center for the Arts was abuzz. The lobby became so crowded that one ticket checker took on a new role as crowd controller, directing ticket holders away from those hoping to get off the waitlist. All these people were there to witness a conversation between Anderson and Vuong.

The event was part of an interdisciplinary series, Where Ideas Come From, curated by Carol Becker, professor and dean emerita of the School of the Arts, which brings together practitioners and theorists from across the arts and sciences to discuss where ideas originate and how they evolve. This installment, Buddhist Practice as Creative Practice, was co-presented by the Center for Buddhist Studies in the Department of Religion, and moderated by Dominique Townsend, the center's director and Jey Tsong Khapa Associate Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, who played matchmaker in bringing together the two artists and practicing Buddhists.

BEHIND THE SCENES: COLUMBIA STUDENTS CREATE A PODCAST CENTERING AFRO-LATINA STORIES

In the basement of the International Affairs Building on Columbia University's Morningside Heights campus, down a hall through the Language Resource Center, three students lean toward their microphones, scripts open on laptops in front of them, and they begin to chat animatedly in Spanish.

Next door, more small groups huddle around whiteboards, jotting down ideas in brightly colored markers ("Nuyoricans?" "revelacion," "tema central") while striking through scripts and offering feedback.

This may sound like a podcast production studio, but it's actually a classroom. In an advanced Spanish course focused on Afro-Latina experiences in the United States, where issues of visibility, colorism, and access continue to shape whose stories are heard, students spend the semester producing their own podcast episodes.

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY: CLINICAL RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT: BRAIN CIRCUITRY IN ANOREXIA NERVOSA

Anorexia nervosa-commonly known simply as "anorexia"-is a serious mental illness likely caused by a combination of biological, genetic, psychological and social factors. The hallmark feature of the illness is extreme restriction of food intake leading to significantly low body weight, which can cause devastating medical and psychological effects. Anorexia currently has the second highest mortality rate of all psychiatric disorders, and its mortality rate is six times that expected for young women. These statistics highlight the need for improved treatments. Alexandra Muratore, PhD

Columbia psychologist Alexandra Muratore, PhD, studies the neuroscience underlying anorexia nervosa and other eating disorders, with the goal of improving treatment outcomes.

"After witnessing the chronic course and the devastating effects anorexia nervosa can have on patients and their families, I was inspired to focus my research on combining neuroimaging and brain stimulation methods to inform the development of more effective treatments," says Muratore, an assistant professor of clinical medical psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.

COLUMBIA IS SETTING AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TO MOVE FORWARD

Our country-our world-is fractured. And in many ways, Columbia University has been a microcosm over the last three years of that fractured state. But if Columbia has been a microcosm of all that this country and the world are facing, it is also an example of resilience, innovation, and effective conflict engagement.

I say this because I study conflict resolution under difficult circumstances, and this past December and January, I conducted a survey of the Columbia community to gather stories about transformative conversations; student-led initiatives that bridged divides; a department's innovative dialogue practices; restorative processes that helped repair harm; and policies that created space for inclusion and accountability. The results were inspiring.

As stories from the survey revealed, over the last year, across all 17 Columbia schools, numerous initiatives have been successfully fostering constructive engagement amid intense disagreement. The "Listening Tables," organized by Columbia's Trust Collaboratory, a research center that explores the social dynamics of trust, are providing students, staff, and faculty structured environments to discuss contentious issues openly and respectfully, with trained facilitators guiding dialogue and setting clear expectations. Many respondents to the survey noted that these structured engagements allowed them, often for the first time, to share honest perspectives without fear of being labeled or attacked. "I loved attending Listening Tables and being able to hear distinct perspectives from all over the world," wrote one student. "As an undergraduate, I also appreciated the opportunity to connect with graduate students who have more work and life experience."

Guoni Thorlacius Johannesson, former President of Iceland (2016-2024) and current Professor of History at the University of Iceland, visited Cornell University last week to deliver three Messenger Lectures, reflecting on his experience as Iceland's head of state and the changing geopolitical and cultural landscape of Iceland.

The Messenger Lectureship Series, established in 1924, brings to campus an outstanding range of researchers and innovators from across the disciplines. Johannesson was nominated and hosted by James Patton Rogers, Executive Director of the Tech Policy Institute at the Brooks School.

"I was very pleased to be invited to Cornell, a university with a strong connection to Iceland's literary tradition, to discuss a range of matters, including the strategic importance of my region. As a professor myself, I hope that we can continue to engage our students with the academic rigor needed to create an informed society, but also with the appetite and appreciation for public service," Johannesson said.

In his first lecture, "My Fellow Citizens: The Need for National Unity and the Positive Role of Heads of State," President Johannesson reflected on his eight years as Iceland's head of state and the delicate balance between leadership, neutrality, and unity. A historian by training, he reflected on how academic habits of critical thinking can both help and hinder those in positions of power. Drawing on experience from Iceland's presidency, he discussed how heads of state can nurture optimism and cohesion in divided times, while remaining truthful and principled in a world often dominated by spin, spectacle, and partisanship.

Volunteers carry baby supplies to attendees' cars.

This experience inspired Morris and her partner, both military veterans, to organize a family resources fair on March 21 at Ithaca's Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 961, which distributed $62,000 in free supplies to 180 local families. The event was organized by the Cornell Graduate Student Veterans Association and sponsored by the American Legion Post 221, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 961 and the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly.

"We thought to get parents together in person," said MBA student Matthew Morris, Shanon Morris' partner. "Not for a marketing-type event where things are pushed on you, but to meet a real need with free supplies and putting providers in front of families so they have a one-stop shop."

For years, scientists believed these fossils were preserved simply because the seafloor had no oxygen, which slows decay. However, recent discoveries from around the world show signs of oxidation - a process that typically requires oxygen.

A double major in environmental sciences and policy and computer science, Nease has been caring about climate, energy and the environment his whole life.

In high school, Nease joined the environmental club, organized coastal cleanups, planted trees, tended a school garden and devoured documentaries about the environment. But it was a sophomore-year environmental management course at Duke that shifted his trajectory.

"It pushed me to consider an actual career in fixing environmental problems, rather than just worrying about them," Nease said.

He admits that he initially did not think Duke was the right place for him.

"I wanted to go to Penn simply because that's where my older brother went," he said. But he is now unequivocal, as well as humble, about how Duke has informed his academic and professional path.

DUKE UNIVERSITY CLIMATE PATHFINDER: THE LONG RUN: CATCHING UP WITH JIM ALLEN IN WORKING@DUKE'S 20TH YEAR

When Jim Allen appeared on the cover of Working@Duke in late 2011, the photograph reflected a turning point he had spent two years building. After his children left for college, Allen joined Duke's Run/Walk Club in 2009 and gradually worked his way back into running, ultimately losing 45 pounds through a structured run‑walk system supported by coaches from LIVE FOR LIFE, Duke's employee wellness program.

Fifteen years later, the consistency that defined his transformation still shapes his daily routine. Even after back issues and the pandemic ended his running habit, Allen, Associate Controller of Corporate Payments, shifted seamlessly into walking, hiking and other low‑impact activities - maintaining nearly all his weight loss.

As Working@Duke marks its 20th anniversary, Allen's story from the 57th issue of the magazine stands as a reminder of what the publication has chronicled since its earliest years: employees who quietly shape campus life, who commit to each other, and who keep moving - sometimes literally - through change.

DUKE UNIVERSITY CLIMATE PATHFINDER: DUKE GARDENS' TRANSFORMATIVE GARDEN GATEWAY PROJECT OPENS TO THE PUBLIC

The Garden Gateway project at Sarah P. Duke Gardens will open to the public on April 8, marking the completion of a major redesign that will transform the Duke Gardens experience. The $30 million project, underway since February 2025, includes renovations to the Doris Duke Center and main entrance as well as the addition of a new welcome center and expanded green spaces.

The main entrance at 420 Anderson Street will reopen with limited on-site parking in the Gardens lot. Additional weekend parking will be available nearby in the Campus Drive lot, now connected to the Gardens via a new access drive. Pedestrian access through Flowers Drive will continue.

The Garden Gateway project was inspired by a vision of enhancing Duke Gardens as a vibrant hub for students, the university and the public. "Duke Gardens is one of the most visited destinations in the Triangle, and the Garden Gateway allows us to better serve our growing community," says executive director Bill LeFevre. "The new entranceway improves access and wayfinding, and the Barnes Welcome Center greatly enhances visitor amenities and services. We sincerely appreciate the community and university support that made this project possible and look forward to welcoming both new and returning visitors."

Key features in the new Barnes Welcome Center include a cafe, a dedicated visitor lobby, gallery space, indoor and outdoor classrooms and an outdoor gathering plaza. The redesigned main entrance has been expanded to improve accessibility and safety, and the renovated Doris Duke Center features enhanced facilities for events, including weddings.

DUKE UNIVERSITY CLIMATE PATHFINDER: A NASAL SWAB TEST COULD CHANGE HOW ALZHEIMER'S IS DETECTED

Alzheimer's disease is notoriously difficult to detect early, often diagnosed only after memory and cognitive decline have already begun. A new Duke Health study suggests that could change with a nasal swab exam.

Researchers found that a quick, outpatient procedure can detect early biological signals of Alzheimer's, even before symptoms appear. The findings point to changes in nerve and immune cells that may serve as some of the earliest indicators of the disease.

"If we can diagnose people early enough, we might be able to start therapies that prevent them from ever developing clinical Alzheimer's," said Dr. Bradley J. Goldstein, the study's corresponding author and surgeon-scientist at Duke University School of Medicine.

The procedure takes just minutes. After applying a numbing spray, clinicians collect cells from high inside the nasal cavity, where smell-related nerve cells are located. These cells are then analyzed to understand which genes are active, offering a real-time snapshot of processes linked to brain health.

FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF MATO GROSSO DO SUL: BETWEEN LEAVES, FLOWERS AND FRUITS, TRAIL MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO KNOW THE RICHNESS OF THE FLORA IN THE UFMS OF CAMPO GRANDE

Amid the COP15 POP programming, UFMS invites the public to slow down and look closely at what often goes unnoticed: the richness of the flora that occupies its spaces. On the Butterfly-Monarch botanical trail, organized by the Institute of Biosciences (Inbio), each step reveals diverse species, natural histories and the opportunity to experience science in an accessible way, outdoors and for all ages.

Visitors were guided by the master's student in Plant Biology and graduate of the Biological Science Degree course by UFMS, Daniel Matias Waldow. The trail begins in the COP15 Room, located in the Central Corridor, until Friday, 27. On Saturday, the activity departs from the Science Park, always at 8:30 a.m. During the course, Daniel presented the main characteristics of different species of plants that inhabit, especially, areas close to Inbio. Lasting about an hour, visitors know groups such as bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms.

"The first photosynthetic life forms belonging to the plant kingdom are algae. Among them, the carophytes, members of the Characeae family, stand out. These organisms represent the first groups to precede better-known plants, such as the bryophytes and the pteridophytes," explains Daniel. He adds that carophytes depend on water to survive and reproduce. "Its reproduction occurs through spores released into the water that, when they find a conducive environment, germinate and originate a new plant. It is estimated that these organisms have been in aquatic environments for about a billion years, and are considered evolutionary precursors of other photosynthesizing organisms."

"Bryophytes represent the first group of plants without conductive vessels, such as mosses. Unlike vascular plants, they do not have structures to transport water and nutrients, so nutrition occurs by cell diffusion. They do not have seeds, flowers or fruits and, although adapted to the terrestrial environment, still depend on water for reproduction", explains the master. Another plant presented on the trail is the fern. "It uses the coconut tree as a substrate, that is, a support to fix itself, without removing nutrients that harm it. Ferns belong to the first group of plants with conductive vessels, responsible for transporting water and nutrients. Unlike bryophytes, they have a vascular system, but they do not yet produce flowers, fruits or seeds. Its reproduction also depends on water," he said.

On April 8, from 7:30 p.m. in the time of Mato Grosso do Sul, the lecture will be held. Aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, the event is online and will be taught by the Reader of the German Academic Exchange Service (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst DAAD), Clara Isabell Le Blanc. Free registrations can be made here.

The action is part of the extension project that has the same name of the lecture, coordinated by the professor of the Faculty of Arts, Letters and Communication (Faalc), Cristiane Schmidt. "This initiative arose because of the importance that the German language occupies on the international stage in various spaces, in research, in teaching, technology and health, and also in Brazil, where German is institutionalized in several universities, in virtually all regions and in various ways, whether in basic or higher education. It also emerged from the desire to offer this here at UFMS, thinking that the Midwest region is still lacking, in a way, the offer of courses, contact with the German language and culture", he informs.

"DAAD is one of the largest funding organizations for international academic exchange, especially in German universities. He supports students and researchers through scholarship programs; promotes transnational cooperation and university partnerships; reinforces German and German language studies abroad and is also committed to the internationalization of the higher education and scientific system," explains coordinator Cristiane.

In addition to the cooperation between the University and the DAAD in different areas of knowledge, the objective of the lecture is to present information about scholarships and experiences of Brazilian researchers who have done a doctorate in Germany. Minister Clara Isabell Le Blanc holds a degree in Education and Social Psychology from the Goethe University of Frankfurt; she holds a binational master's degree from German as a foreign language, intercultural studies of German language, literature and culture, the University of Leipzig and the Federal University of Parana and, in addition to acting as a DAAD reader at the University of Brasilia (UnB), teaches German as a foreign language in the Department of Foreign Languages and Translation.

From the sky of Campo Grande to the deep universe, in a few minutes. This is the experience proposed by the UFMS Planetarium during COP15 POP, where visitors can dive into immersive projections and roam the solar system as if they were on a space journey.

According to the professor of the Institute of Physics (Infi) Beyond the Sea Goncalves, with a dome of projection and astronomical simulations in real time, space allows you to explore the universe, revisit the sky of the past and even anticipate future phenomena - all in an accessible and free experience. "Participation is for membership, it doesn't need scheduling. Each session holds 35 people. We are holding sessions open to the public in the morning and afternoon throughout the COP week", he explains.

Sessions last 12 minutes, starting at 8:30 a.m., 9:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. On Saturday, 28, sessions will be held only in the morning period.

"The space has an immersive projection dome, about seven meters in diameter. It can be used both for sessions and the ones we are presenting, about the solar system, and for the simulation of the night sky and astronomical phenomena", highlights the professor. "We use software called Stellarium, which allows you to reproduce the observed sky from anywhere on the planet, at any time and time interval. With it, we can predict where a planet will be in the future and also visualize where it has been in the past, in addition to simulating events that could not be observed, such as cloud-covered eclipses."

FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF MATO GROSSO DO SUL: SCIENCE AND CULTURE CONQUER VISITORS OF COP15 POP IN THE JAGUAR-PAINTED CORRIDOR

Interactive activities, full of discovery and knowledge have delighted visitors to COP15 POP at UFMS. Among them is a differentiated exhibition, which can be inserted in the record book, Guinness. The actions are carried out in the Jaguar-Painted Corridor and are open to the public from 8am to 11am until March 28.

The name of the largest feline in Latin America was chosen for this special program in honor of the migration of the species in the Americas. Exhibitions from all areas are gathered in the central corridor, organized in more than 30 stations with workshops and research and action shows carried out by the University and partner institutions.

One of the highlights in the programming of the Onca-Pintada Corridor Corridor was the opening of the exhibition by Santiago Belacqua, a Portuguese plastic artist who approaches the environment in his pieces.

In the room located in the center of the corridor, where the UFMS Bookstore used to work, it presents the work Salvator Mundi - The human heat melts the ice, in a differentiated proposal of show.

"Having Santiago here at the University is an honor, a special opportunity. We are very happy for this moment, I look forward to entering this immersive experience, only the work and I, without any comment, and, giving a spoiler here, we will have a work of his at UFMS, he will donate a piece to our collection. On behalf of the dean Camila Itavo and the entire University I thank him and all those involved in this performance," said Vice-Rector Albert Schiaveto.

The work Belacqua seeks to touch people by the uniqueness of affection. "It's a look, a feeling. An experience where only one person enters at a time and has unique and individual contact with the painting, without influence of the artist, nor anyone else's," explains the artist.

FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF MATO GROSSO DO SUL: THE CREATION OF GREEN ROOMS ON ALL CAMPUSES HAS BEEN APPROVED

The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MMA) approved the creation of nine more Green Rooms at UFMS through the call of no. 1/2025. In addition to Campo Grande, now all campuses will have facilities aimed at promoting Environmental Education.

"These spaces were designed to be open, welcoming and focused on dialogue, strengthening Environmental Education and allowing the community to learn, exchange experiences and reflect on the care of the environment and sustainability in a simple and practical way. With this, UFMS expands its role beyond academic training, directly contributing to awareness, social participation and the construction of a more sustainable future in people's daily lives", he points out.

For the Director of Sustainability (Dides) of Procids, Leonardo Chaves, the approval represents an important recognition for UFMS, as it consolidates an institutional network. "By being present in strategic cities where the University has units, we significantly expand the scope of environmental education actions throughout the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, strengthening citizen formation, integration with society and institutional commitment to sustainability and contemporary socio-environmental challenges," he observes.

On Monday, the 30th, at 8pm, the first edition of the Concert Movement of 2026 will be held. The opening of the year's schedule of performances will begin with an unusual musical program, with Brazilian and Portuguese works from the 16th to 19th centuries inspired by Easter. According to the coordinator of the Concerto Movement project, the professor of the Music course of the Faculty of Arts, Letters and Communication, Marcelo Fernandes, the event also brings together the exhibition of images of the Portuguese artist Santiago Belacqua.

"Throughout the year, we will have ten scheduled concerts. The presentations are free and take place both in the Glauce Rocha Theater and in other spaces of the University, promoting a diversification of activities. We will have the honor of welcoming guest artists from other locations, as well as talents from our state", explains Fernandes.

This first edition will be held at the Teatro Glauce Rocha and has the participation of Camerata Madeiras Dedilhadas da UFMS, Coro Lirico Cantarte, declamations of Geraldo Vicente Martins, soloists Ana Lucia Gaborim, Angelica Jado, Eliseba Manhaes, Erik Vinicius and Isaque Ferraz; and, also, with the presence of the artist Santiago Belacqua.

"I believe that the main contribution of the Concert Movement has been the dialogue between the present and the past, reflecting on past experiences and aspiring to the future. Take this concert as an example, which features Portuguese and Brazilian songs from the 16th to the 19th centuries. This selection allows a dialogue between our colonial tradition, a period in which we were closely linked to Portuguese culture, and European musical production, especially that of Portugal, inserted in its historical context", points out Marcelo.

FLINDERS UNIVERSITY: NEW ALERT ON ELDER ABUSE IN HOSPITALS

New research has revealed only a very small proportion of all the elder abuse cases thought to be perpetrated during hospital visits are being officially recorded, exposing a potential reporting gap in the nation's health system. Associate Professor Stephanie Harrison, Registry of Senior Australians (ROSA) at SAHMRI and Matthew Flinders Associate Professor in Health Services and Epidemiology, Caring Futures Institute, Flinders University.

The findings from the Registry of Senior Australians (ROSA) Research Centre at SAHMRI and Flinders University - and published in the Medical Journal of Australia (MJA) - analysed data from nearly one million older Australians who accessed aged care services between 2010 and 2019.

It found that just 0.06 per cent of individuals had elder abuse recorded during a hospitalisation or emergency department presentation, far lower than estimates from surveys of older Australians living in the community that suggest around 2-15% experience some form of abuse each year.

The study, led by Flinders University Associate Professor Stephanie Harrison and the ROSA Consumer and Community Advisory Committee, comes as the Australian Government rolls out a new 10-year National Plan to End the Abuse and Mistreatment of Older People, recognising elder abuse as a widespread and often hidden issue.

FLINDERS UNIVERSITY: TWO FACES OF EXTREMISM

A new study spanning 58 countries reveals that human readiness for intergroup violence is not a single or unified mindset but driven by two fundamentally different psychological motivations.

The research to be published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal demonstrates that violent extremist intentions are driven either by defensive extremism - which aims to protect a group from perceived threats - or offensive extremism, which seeks to establish group dominance and expand influence.

Led by Norwegian researcher Professor Jonas R Kunst and an international team of more than 100 researchers including Flinders University Professor Emma Thomas and Emily Haines, the preregistered study analysed data from 18,128 participants globally. Professor Emma Thomas

The findings indicate that defensive extremist intentions are consistently more prevalent, showing higher levels of endorsement than offensive intentions in 56 out of the 58 surveyed nations. This suggests a widespread tendency to find protective violence more morally acceptable than violence aimed at conquest.

FLINDERS UNIVERSITY: GLOBAL HUMAN POPULATION PUSHING EARTH PAST BREAKING POINT

The Earth has already exceeded its ability to support the global population sustainably, with new research warning of increasing pressure on food security, climate stability, and human wellbeing. However, slowing population growth and raising global awareness could still offer humanity some hope.

Published in Environmental Research Letters, the study shows that humans have pushed well beyond the planet's long-term capacity and that continued growth under current patterns of consumption will intensify environmental and social challenges for communities worldwide.

The research examined more than two centuries of global population data and uncovered a major shift in human population dynamics that began in the mid-twentieth century. Matthew Flinders Professor Corey Bradshaw

Lead author, Matthew Flinders Professor of Global Ecology Corey Bradshaw, from Flinders University says the trend reveals a clear biological signal that humanity is living far beyond what the Earth can support.

"Earth cannot keep up with the way in which we are using resources. It cannot support even today's demand without major changes, with our findings showing that we are pushing the planet harder than it can possibly cope," says Professor Bradshaw from the Global Ecology Laboratory in the College of Science and Engineering.

FLINDERS UNIVERSITY: CRIMINOLOGY STUDY OF ILLICIT DRUG USERS AND POLICE

A new report published by the Australian Institute of Criminology explores perceptions of police fairness among Australian drug users. Associate Professor Caitlin Hughes

Led by Flinders University Associate Professor Caitlin Hughes, with researchers from RMIT University, University of Queensland, University of Sheffield, University of California and University College London, the study uses Global Drug Survey data to compare the perceptions of drug users in Australia and in 29 other countries.

Procedural justice in policing has attracted increased attention in many parts of the world, including Australia. This is due to the way in which police treat citizens and the fairness of the decisions made can have direct impacts on the cooperation and compliance of citizens.

However, analyses of procedural justice as it pertains to illicit drugs remain scant. This is a significant omission given that drug offences are one of the leading offences recorded in most parts of the world.

The AIC research was carried out to assess perceptions among people who use drugs of whether police treat people fairly and make impartial decisions.

Most Australian respondents (58-60%) said that police frequently or somewhat frequently respect people's rights and make decisions based upon the law and facts.

EVENTS CALENDAR: THE STATE OF HATE: FORDHAM LONDON CONFERENCE EXAMINES POLARIZING RHETORIC IN THE DIGITAL WORLD

How do we confront online abuse and threats in a digital world that is borderless, profit-focused, and increasingly polarized?

This was the timely question that academics, policymakers, tech experts, and lawyers unpacked at Fordham London's State of Hate symposium on March 18.

The event grew out of a conversation between Fordham London senior director Matthew Holland and Anthony Davidson, dean of Fordham's School of Professional and Continuing Studies, whose College at 60 program is coming to Fordham London this May. Together with the symposium's partners-Signify, a UK company that monitors online abuse, and the British American Project, a networking nonprofit-the theme emerged.

"Indifference is quickly leading to hate in a way that it didn't previously," said Holland. "Social media, algorithms, everything incentivizes polarization and hatred."

As a Jesuit institution that often talks about being people for others, Fordham has a responsibility to think about the social justice element of tackling online hate, he said. "It is critical to replenish our appreciation for the human dignity of others and rediscover the ability to respect those we disagree with," said Holland.

GVSU RECEIVES GOLD STATUS DESIGNATION FROM G.I. JOBS IN VETERAN-FRIENDLY SCHOOLS REPORT

In G.I. Jobs' recently released list, GVSU received gold rank designation as a military-friendly school and a friendly designation as a military spouse-friendly school. The recognition marks the third veteran-friendly ranking for GVSU in recent months.

Shane Scherer, director of GVSU's Peter Secchia Military and Veterans Resource Center, said when military veterans are in the transition process to civilian life, the G.I. Jobs list of schools is the one provided to those looking into higher education.

[The G.I. Jobs list] is particularly important because if you're transitioning out of the military, you're interested in using military benefits and you're coming back to Michigan, you're going to probably want to [attend] a school that's more prevalent on the ranking system," Scherer said.

In fall of 2025, Grand Valley received its 11th consecutive gold-level veteran-friendly school ranking from the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency. In December 2025, GVSU ranked first in Michigan and 11th nationally among colleges and universities in the Military Times 'Best for Vets' list.

Grand Valley moved up from a silver ranking in the 2024-25 academic year to a gold ranking for the 2026-27 academic year in the G.I. Jobs list. Scherer said among the factors included in rank placement are academic success, with 91 percent of current and recent GVSU student veterans maintaining a GPA aboove a 3.0, as well as resources for veterans.

GVSU EXPERT: A Q&A EXPLORING WHAT IT MEANS TO RETURN TO THE MOON

With the launch of Artemis II imminent, Deana Weibel, a professor of anthropology who has a deep understanding of the human and cultural dimensions of space exploration, talks about the significance of humans returning to the moon. The launch is scheduled for April 1.

Explain what this mission is about and the significance of it for NASA.

Artemis II is significant for NASA because it represents an effort to do something the agency hasn't done in more than 50 years, using a new generation of technology and drawing on a much deeper base of knowledge.

The last time NASA went to the moon in any way involving humans was in 1972 with Apollo 17. Artemis II is not a replication of those missions. It reflects a different set of goals.

The Apollo missions were predominantly focused on getting human beings to walk on the moon. The United States was in a space race with the Soviet Union, and while the Soviet Union had sent the first human into space, the U.S. shifted its focus to getting human beings to the moon.

The goal now is not just to go to the moon, but to establish a more sustained presence there rather than simply visiting and collecting moon rocks or geologic samples. If NASA wants to go further into space, to places like Mars, it sees the moon as a potential base for those missions.

HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL STUDENT ASSOCIATION INC: WAYS TO KEEP TALKING - AND MAYBE FIND WAY FORWARD - AMID RIVEN TIMES

The algorithm we developed not only helped us identify which words and phrases of conversational language increased and decreased perceptions of receptiveness but also which features were the most important because they had the greatest impact or could be ignored because they were very rarely used in natural conversation. I am not very creative, but thankfully my students are. After a bit of brainstorming, they came up with a snappy acronym to help memorize the most important features of conversational receptiveness. The acronym is H.E.A.R. as in "I HEAR you." H.E.A.R. became a way for us to teach people a "receptiveness recipe" - years of research condensed into a list of bullet points. Book cover for How to Disagree Better.

The "H" in H.E.A.R. stands for "Hedging your claims." Hedging makes it clear that no matter how right you think you are, you recognize that there are exceptions to nearly every rule and that most issues are complex and multifaceted. Here are some examples:

"While most doctors believe that COVID-19 vaccines are generally safe and effective, some people have experienced dangerous side effects."

'Korean Stars' course inspires Yenching's 17-box collection of merch spanning '90s to today

Anyone who has tuned into an American radio station in the past year has likely been treated to the upbeat anthem "Golden" - a track from the animated phenomenon "KPop Demon Hunters" that became the most watched title on Netflix last summer. And while K-pop - Korean popular music - has been creeping into the consciousness of American audiences for the past decade through one-off hits like Psy's 2012 "Gangnam Style" and idol groups like BTS and BLACKPINK, the genre has an even longer history of amassing enormous and dedicated fan bases overseas.

To chronicle the increasingly global world of K-pop, Harvard's Yenching Library is in the process of curating a collection of commercial goods produced for fans of Korean musical groups and entertainers from the 1990s through now. The collection is partly inspired, and informed, by the "Korean Stars" course led by Professor Chan Yong Bu, who has used the objects to help his students better understand the dynamics behind K-pop fandom.

HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL STUDENT ASSOCIATION INC: 'OK, I GET IT. THIS MAKES SENSE.'

The proposal to rein in inflated grading at Harvard College has dominated campus discussion and ricocheted around the Ivy League and across higher education since its Feb. 6 release.

The plan is the result of five years of discussion and study, spanning multiple reports, considerable faculty input, and careful review of alternatives, culminating in more than a year of concerted work by the Undergraduate Education Policy Committee's Subcommittee on Grading.

The faculty of FAS will vote on the plan in April and, if approved, the initiative would take effect for the coming academic year, with the before-and-after line clearly noted on transcripts.

The policy would limit flat-A grades to 20 percent plus four of the enrolled students in a course, meaning up to six A's in a 10-person seminar or 34 in a 150-student lecture, with no cap on A-minuses.

At the same time, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences would adopt an internal measure for evaluating students for Harvard honors and prizes, shifting from GPA to an average percentile rank (APR) that would not be included on transcripts but would provide more meaningful data about relative performance.

An American born in 2024 can expect to live to 79. That's up 0.6 years from 2023 and the longest life expectancy in U.S. history.

But living longer and living well are not the same thing. About 93 percent of the nation's 58 million adults over 65 live with at least one chronic health condition, such as hypertension, high cholesterol, arthritis, or diabetes. After age 55, about 42 percent of Americans go on to develop dementia.

Despite that, an increasingly visible cohort of older Americans aren't just living longer. They're also extending their healthspans, the years of life free from age-related illness or cognitive decline. In doing so, they're creating new models for what it means to age well and challenging some of the oldest cultural assumptions about the last third of life.

For the latest installment of "One Word Answer," a series focused on connotations, we asked three scholars to dive into "old."

Researcher shares insights on letters exchanged by Kennedy and Khrushchev during Cuban Missile Crisis

For Dmitry Yakushkin, the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, a confrontation that brought the U.S. and the Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear war, remains an ideal case study of conflict resolution.

Yakushkin, who worked as press secretary for Russian President Boris Yeltsin from 1998 to 2000, spoke Wednesday at the Davis Center about the lessons of the crisis, sharing highlights from his upcoming book based on negotiations between President John F. Kennedy and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.

The two leaders exchanged 10 letters during the 13-day confrontation, from Oct. 16 to 28, including a six-page dispatch from Khrushchev to Kennedy. The crisis ended when the Soviets agreed to remove missiles from Cuba in exchange for a U.S. promise not to invade the island and a secret pledge from Washington to remove U.S. missiles from Turkey.

HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL STUDENT ASSOCIATION INC: A WORLD-SHIFTING MOMENT (LITERALLY)

Geoscientists track when Earth went from 'just another planet' to 'something very special'

The history of the Earth is written on the great tablets of tectonic plates.

The motions of plates shaped land masses, formed oceans, and created the varied climates and habitats that set the stage for evolution and the diversity of life.

But this grand drama begins with a deep mystery: Just when did the continental and oceanic plates begin to drift? Did the lithosphere begin to move soon after the formation of the Earth 4.5 billion years ago or only in the last billion years?

A new study by Harvard geoscientists shows the oldest-yet direct evidence of plate movement about 3.5 billion years ago. In a study published recently in Science, the team showed that plate movements - though not necessarily the modern type - shaped the early history of our planet.

"There has been a huge range of ages suggested for timing," said lead author Alec Brenner, Ph.D. '24, who conducted the research in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences in the Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. "With this study, we're able to say 3.5 billion years ago, we can see plates moving around on the Earth surface."

HARVARD UNIVERSITY: A TREASURE TROVE FOR K-POP FANS

'Korean Stars' course inspires Yenching's 17-box collection of merch spanning '90s to today

Anyone who has tuned into an American radio station in the past year has likely been treated to the upbeat anthem "Golden" - a track from the animated phenomenon "KPop Demon Hunters" that became the most watched title on Netflix last summer. And while K-pop - Korean popular music - has been creeping into the consciousness of American audiences for the past decade through one-off hits like Psy's 2012 "Gangnam Style" and idol groups like BTS and BLACKPINK, the genre has an even longer history of amassing enormous and dedicated fan bases overseas.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY: 'OK, I GET IT. THIS MAKES SENSE.'

The proposal to rein in inflated grading at Harvard College has dominated campus discussion and ricocheted around the Ivy League and across higher education since its Feb. 6 release.

The plan is the result of five years of discussion and study, spanning multiple reports, considerable faculty input, and careful review of alternatives, culminating in more than a year of concerted work by the Undergraduate Education Policy Committee's Subcommittee on Grading.

The faculty of FAS will vote on the plan in April and, if approved, the initiative would take effect for the coming academic year, with the before-and-after line clearly noted on transcripts.

The policy would limit flat-A grades to 20 percent plus four of the enrolled students in a course, meaning up to six A's in a 10-person seminar or 34 in a 150-student lecture, with no cap on A-minuses.

At the same time, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences would adopt an internal measure for evaluating students for Harvard honors and prizes, shifting from GPA to an average percentile rank (APR) that would not be included on transcripts but would provide more meaningful data about relative performance.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY: THINK DIFFERENT - FOR 50 YEARS

Management, branding, marketing, history scholars trace all ways Apple changed industries, our relationship to tech - and to each other

On April Fool's Day 1976, two college dropouts, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, and a friend, Ronald G. Wayne, formed a company from the garage of Jobs' parent's house in Los Altos, a small city in Silicon Valley then in its infancy.

For the cheeky price of $666.66 (Wozniak liked repeating digits), buyers could get what they called the Apple-1, a "Woz"-engineered, personal computer consisting of a bare circuit board with an 8-bit microprocessor and 4K of RAM - monitor, keyboard, and power supply sold separately.

The Apple-1 was only capable of running elementary programs and games. Two hundred were made.

It may have seemed foolhardy then to push a product few Americans were even aware existed. But 50 years later, Apple is among the most popular and iconic consumer brands and, with a $3.8 trillion valuation, one of the world's most successful companies.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY: FOR U.S., WAR WITH IRAN MAY COME DOWN TO 'MARKETS AND MUNITIONS'

Former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken '84 said the future of U.S. and Israeli involvement in the war with Iran will likely come down to "markets and munitions" as both sides exchanged ceasefire proposals and renewed attacks this week.

The prospect of steep declines in global energy markets, U.S. financial exchanges, and stockpiles of Israeli missile interceptors will serve as "guardrails" on how far the administration will go, Blinken told David Sanger '82, a White House and national security correspondent for The New York Times during a talk Tuesday evening at Harvard Kennedy School.

Blinken spoke of the very different approaches the last three presidents have taken with Iran and reflected candidly on the nation's handling of the war in Gaza during his time leading the State Department during the Biden administration.

"The problem now is this: I think the president could if he chose, and I suspect this is what will happen, just declare victory and game over," he said about the administration's next move in Iran. "Except it won't be, because Iran will have actually demonstrated something that we suspected but didn't actually know, which is it has ability to leverage the Strait of Hormuz in ways that are profoundly disruptive and give it an asymmetric advantage in the region and indeed around the world."

HARVARD UNIVERSITY: 'BEST COLLEGE TRADITION ANYWHERE'

Smurf-blue hair, chain-mail suits, vuvuzelas, and bagpipes abound as students flood Yard for annual raucous rite of Housing Day

On any other day, junior Hugh Mackay's blasting bagpipes would have been less than welcome outside Hollis dorm so early in the morning.

On any other day, Economics Professor David Laibson might have raised eyebrows prancing in front of University Hall with smurf-blue hair and Mardi Gras beads.

And on any other day, Xavier Ayala-Vermont '27, attired in an inflatable lion suit, would have been doomed had he summited the statue of John Harvard in the Yard waving a Winthrop House flag - right in front of the Harvard University Police.

But this was no ordinary morning.

Friday was Housing Day, the joyful annual tradition in which students from the 12 College Houses stream into the Yard in a raucous show of pride before splitting up to storm the adjacent first-year dorms and welcome those students with the housing assignments that will shape their residential life over the next three years.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY: TWO AMERICAS, THEN AND NOW

Panel featuring filmmaker Ken Burns probes 'disjunction' between Declaration of Independence and the Constitution

The Declaration of Independence, with its assertion of human equality, is akin to America's "vision statement," said Philip Deloria, Leverett Saltonstall Professor of History. He sees the Constitution, threaded with compromises on individual rights, as more like the country's "operating manual."

"The disjunction between the vision statement and the operating manual is part of the dilemma of the United States and its history," he said.

Deloria was one of three faculty from Harvard's History Department to join filmmakers Ken Burns and Sarah Botstein for a conversation that mined the nation's founding for lasting lessons. The March 25 event, co-presented with the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, was offered as part of the History Department's "Harvard in 1776" series. It showcased Harvard experts who appear in Burns and Botstein's new PBS documentary, "The American Revolution."

HARVARD UNIVERSITY: SOCIAL MEDIA FIRMS LOST TWO BELLWETHER CASES, BUT FUTURE REMAINS UNCLEAR

Juries in federal and state courts said this week in a pair of bellwether cases that tech companies are liable for public health harms to young users on their platforms. The decisions represent a blow to the broad protections long enjoyed by firms against legal liability for user content posted on social media websites.

In Los Angeles, a 20-year-old woman sued Meta, which owns Instagram and Facebook, and YouTube, successfully argued the tech giants designed their platforms with addictive features that targeted teens and children. A jury awarded her $3 million.

A jury in New Mexico found that Meta had violated state consumer protection law by failing to safeguard minors from online sexual predators and misleading the public about its safety. The company was ordered to pay $375 million in damages.

In this edited conversation, I. Glenn Cohen, the deputy dean and James A. Attwood and Leslie Williams Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, and faculty director at the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology & Bioethics, discusses the verdicts and what they mean for social media's future.

LIFE-SAVING BLOOD DONATION DRIVE LAUNCHED WITH THE HONG KONG RED CROSS

In a powerful demonstration of community spirit, HKUST is encouraging the campus community to mark our 35th Anniversary by donating blood throughout the celebratory year.

The 35th Anniversary blood donation drive reflects HKUST's longstanding spirit of mutual care and commitment to giving back to society.

The blood donation drive kicked off at a ceremony titled "35 for Life: Every Drop Counts, Every Life Matters" on March 5 at the University's Clear Water Bay campus.

The drive responds to the urgent need to maintain adequate blood supplies against falling numbers of donors. Over the past decade, the number of active donors has fallen by 24%, with participation among people aged 16 to 30 dropping sharply, from 45% to 17%.

"Our blood donation initiative reflects a simple yet powerful belief that a single act of kindness can make an extraordinary difference," said Prof. TAM Kar-Yan, Vice-President for Administration and Business, HKUST, at the kick-off ceremony.
