Breast cancer is the most common cancer found in women in the United States, with more than 300,000 new cases being diagnosed each year. While approximately half of diagnoses are middle aged women (50-70 years old), about 10% are women under the age of 45 and 20% are women over the age of 70. Current forms of treatment range from surgery such as lumpectomy (removal of a tumor from the breast) and mastectomy (removal of all breast tissue from the breast) to radiation therapy to chemotherapy, as well as multimodal approaches involving two or more treatments.

Currently, Iran is facing a political and humanitarian disaster. But most headlines only scratch the surface of the country’s state. As an Iranian American, I write here with a deep love for both the country and its people. In January 2026, Iran witnessed one of the deadliest crackdowns on the protests and nationwide descent of its modern history. What began as frustration over worsening living conditions and economic concerns has grown into mass demonstrations for freedom and democratic change. Even as security forces escalate violence against peaceful demonstrators, the people refuse to stop.

The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Agora Institute describes its mission as follows: to “support open dialogue, active debate, and collaborative efforts to address public problems” and to “strengthen democracy through these efforts.” Its Visiting Fellow program aims to support this mission by providing selected candidates with funding to pursue independent projects designed to promote democracy.

What is a computer? Typically, one would think of a Mac, Windows or Linux-based laptop or desktop. Going further, one could define a computer as an object made out of silicon and other metals that controls the flow of electricity to make complex calculations. However, computing isn’t just limited to these traditionally known machines. Scientists have long theorized and researched unconventional computing methods using quantum qubits, fluids, cells and molecules.

Contrary to the prevailing Valentine’s Day sentiment, the question the Arts section poses this holiday is not “who wants me,” but rather, “what do we want?” The time of selfless love and devoted yearning has not come to an end, but we are putting it on pause. Instead, take this year’s Valentine’s Day to make sure that you’re showing love to yourself — in the form of, you guessed it, love-related arts to consume. Movies, television, literature and music, all about love. What better gift could there be from your favorite section of your college’s newspaper? Regardless of if you do or don’t have a special love in your life at the moment, remember this: The News-Letter’s Arts & Entertainment section always loves you — and here are our specially curated picks of Valentine’s Day art, for all of our loyal readers.

The impact of the original 2009 Avatar is undeniable. As a self-proclaimed “Disney Adult” who lives 7 hours away from Orlando, Fla. I will proudly boast that my favorite attraction at Walt Disney World is the “Avatar Flight of Passage” ride (at this point, I’ve ridden it at least 20 times). However, long before its theme park implementation, Avatar had made strides in both cinema and pop culture. Directed by James Cameron, the film has grossed over $2.92 billion and has continued to represent the unyielding power of imagination and capture the dangers of unchecked colonial expansion.

On Jan. 30, demonstrators gathered in cities across the United States as part of a coordinated “National Shutdown,” which advocated for an end to aggressive ICE tactics such as widespread street raids, militarized enforcement sweeps in immigration neighborhoods and the use of federal agents to detain people without clear charges. In Baltimore, on this day, hundreds of protesters gathered between Baltimore’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office and the CFG Bank Arena to demand that the United States ICE operations in the city and across the country be terminated.

Super Bowl Sunday is upon us! This year’s iteration of the unofficial American holiday features the New England Patriots pitted against the Seattle Seahawks. Even among Super Bowls, this one is drawing more eyes than most. The last time these two teams met in the Super Bowl, it resulted in one of the best football games ever, culminating in the iconic line “the pass is intercepted at the goal line by Malcolm Butler,” as the Seahawks quarterback Russel Wilson turned the ball over with just seconds remaining on the clock. The Patriots are hoping they’ve already found Tom Brady’s heir apparent in MVP candidate quarterback Drake Maye, whose stellar play, combined with a staunch defense orchestrated by mastermind head coach Mike Vrabel, has vaulted New England back into the Super Bowl. For the Seattle Seahawks, the formula for their success has been the resurgence of quarterback Sam Darnold and an all-time great defense. All that being said, here are our best guesses for who will win Super Bowl LX:

Valentine’s Day weekend shows up in a lot of forms this year. Some events lean into love and heartbreak head-on, others take a more offbeat or low-pressure approach and a few have nothing to do with romance at all. From awkward diary confessions and science after dark to opera, maple syrup and tattoo fundraisers, the weekend lineup leaves plenty of room to celebrate, avoid or completely redefine Valentine’s Day on your own terms.
