The Grand Opening of the Bloomberg Student Center dining options occurred on Monday, Oct. 6, 2025. Consisting of food choices such as Koshary Corner, Connie’s Chicken and Waffles, Tim Ma Hospitality and the Urban Oyster, the launch marked a new era of on-campus dining options.
In an interview with The News-Letter, sophomore Angelina Dong recounted her experiences as a University Undergraduate Research Fellow at the Hoke lab under Dr. Ahmet Hoke at the Hopkins School of Medicine. Currently majoring in Neuroscience and Medicine, Science and the Humanities, Dong joined her research lab in the September of her freshman year. Her project is titled “MAP4K4 Inhibition as a Promising Treatment for Chemo-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy: Effects of MAP4K4 Inhibition on Paclitaxel Antineoplastic Capabilities.”
With the long-awaited opening of the Bloomberg Student Center comes an arguably more exciting addition: a lineup of new campus dining options! This past week, I ventured outside my usual chipotle veggie burger from Brody’s Daily Grind and Blue Jay spirulina bowl from Neicy’s Fabulous Juice Bar to explore everything the Bloomberg Student Center has to offer.
The 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was my Super Bowl (sorry, Sports Editors…). From the shimmering stage at Steiner Studios in New York City to the performances by Karol G, Madison Beer, Missy Elliott and TWICE, every moment was a feast for the senses. This year’s show wasn’t just about lingerie, but storytelling and star power.

The Fall Classic is set! Starting this Friday, Oct. 24, it will be the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2025 World Series. Two teams loaded with talent, but who took very different paths to get here.
The COVID-19 pandemic tested governments, basic research scientists and pharmaceutical industries worldwide, forcing administrations, labs and companies to accelerate and innovate their research at warp speed. Each extra day it took for a treatment or vaccine to reach patients meant more pandemic-related casualties. One crucial factor in vaccine development was the race to understand the viral spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, a crucial viral surface component required for viral entry which had long been touted as a potential target for coronavirus vaccines.
Like a horse with a broken leg, I have come to face my own death sentence: I am a poet uncomfortable unpacking emotion.
1-Across: First option in a phrase said on Halloween
When I was younger, my parents both worked late. Some nights their meetings stretched past dinner, and I would fall asleep to the clack of keyboards and muffled voices on speakerphone. But one night, I stayed awake. Maybe I had napped earlier or maybe I just did not want the night to end. Either way, I was wide-eyed and hungry, and for once, so were they.
After a year of regional competitive play, the 15th annual League of Legends (LoL) World Championship began in Beijing on Oct. 14, 2025. South Korea’s T1, the defending world champions, faced off against China’s Invictus Gaming in a best-of-five series. The Play-In match resulted in a 3-1 victory for T1 and drew more than 2.5 million peak viewers (excluding Chinese viewership), a metric that is comparable to the average viewership of regular season MLB games on Fox and ESPN, regular season NBA games on TNT and ESPN and recent NHL Stanley Cup Finals games.
The first time I feel the freshman blues, it’s 7 p.m. in Baltimore, but 5 a.m. back home. My phone lights up with a text from my mom. It’s nothing fancy, just a photo of her standard morning cup of chai (tea). She has always been an early riser. I know she doesn’t expect a reply. She just wants me to see something familiar, to be reminded of what home feels like.
The pinnacle of motorsports took on an American classic this weekend. Before Miami, before Las Vegas, before the barrage of influencers and brand trips, there was the United States Grand Prix (USGP). Every year since 2012, when the sport switched from Indianapolis to Austin, the Formula series cars have raced around the Circuit of the Americas (COTA). COTA is thought of by some as the main American race, the one that represents our culture and truly embraces the spirit of the country.
The Institute for Data-Intensive Engineering and Science (IDIES) hosted its annual symposium on Thursday, Oct. 16. The symposium opened with remarks from Alex Szalay – Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Big Data and Director of IDIES – on the rapid evolution of data science and its expanding applications. Over the past 25 years, many scientific breakthroughs have emerged from unique data sets, including the mapping of the entire human genome through the Human Genome Project and the imaging of the universe and celestial bodies via the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).
After a disappointing first half of the 2024 MLB season, the New York Mets caught fire and blazed a path to an unlikely playoff spot, culminating in an NLCS loss to the eventual World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers. On the shoulders of utility-man Jose “Candelita” Iglesias’s hit song, “OMG,” the vibes around the Mets clubhouse could not have been higher. After a perpetuity of seasons that ended in massive let-downs, it finally seemed as if there was real hope for the Mets to win their first world series in almost 40 years.
It’s not that I’m ashamed of being Vietnamese — now at least. Growing up was a different story. I really don’t want to frame this piece like another “I grew up in a predominantly white area and I had no one that looked like me,” because that’s not real.
While I like to consider myself an honest person, I’ve realized lately that I’m often dishonest with myself. If a near-stranger were to ask me about my fears or my childhood, I’d hardly hesitate before answering with the truth. I’ve never been one to fear saying too much. The trick, that I’ve noticed recently, is that I’ve left a backdoor open. I consider myself honest so long as I believe the truth of what I’m saying, but there remains a subtle caveat: my own thoughts are not always reflective of what I mean. Let me explain.
A statistic from the Department of Homeland Security estimates that “Two million illegal aliens have left the United States in less than 250 days, including an estimated 1.6 million who have voluntarily self-deported.”
On Oct. 13, at noon, the Hopkins Organization for Programming (HOP) introduced the fall concert artist for Hoptoberfest: Khalid.
I know everyone is eagerly awaiting our two days of freedom from class and the relaxing long weekend it affords us. While we’re all studying into the night for the barrage of exams professors give before break, don’t forget that Hopkins sports teams are still playing and you can take some much needed breaks to catch the excitement. So let’s dive into another week of Hopkins Sports in Review, and remember to continue supporting our teams and show some Blue Jay spirit!
