It can be hard even for expert radiologists to spot an early-developing tumor from CT scans without extensive knowledge of the patient’s background, genetics and lifestyle. The difficulty of obtaining timely medical care around the world delays patients’ access to diagnosis and treatment, allowing malignancies to further spread.

On Feb. 10, President Ronald J. Daniels announced that Hopkins joined several universities and higher education groups in a federal lawsuit against the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in response to the NIH limiting indirect research costs to 15% of grant funding.

As of 2023, Hopkins had negotiated an indirect cost rate of over 60%, and such a dramatic reduction would undoubtedly stall the clinical trials and research at the University.

I have only seen one production from the Barnstormers, but I might be scared to see another. That is, because I worry it can’t possibly meet or exceed my experience witnessing their performance of The Importance of Being Earnest, an 1895 play by Oscar Wilde.

Nowadays, there seem to be more epidemics than ever before: COVID-19, obesity, drug addiction and bird flu, among others. But another epidemic haunts the ivory towers and brick-lined paths of elite universities across the U.S.: the “sellout” epidemic.

Ellicott City has a unique, familiar charm for me. Its plaza — filled with family-style Asian restaurants — instantly takes me back to my high school days in Southern California when my friends and I would explore similar neighborhoods. Much like back then, these eateries don’t rely on tiny portions or fancy plating to impress: They win you over with fresh ingredients and comforting, homestyle flavors. After a satisfying meal, I might treat myself to a cup of bubble tea or wander through HMart to check out what’s new. That lingering sense of comfort and nostalgia always connects me to those carefree high school days, which is probably why I love spending weekends here. In short, food plays a central role in any visit, so here are my top restaurant recommendations — all within a 20–30 minute drive for Hopkins students.

Imagine a bustling metropolis on a weekday morning: vehicles honking, people rushing to work, street vendors setting up shop and delivery trucks weaving through the chaos. Despite the apparent asynchrony, there is order to this chaos. Now, if we shrink this scene down to the microscopic level, we zoom into another bustling system: the human gut microbiome. This is a dynamic and complex ecosystem teeming with trillions of microorganisms checking their own to-do lists to keep us alive.
