Letters Without Limits, founded by students at Johns Hopkins and Brown University, connects volunteers with palliative care and hospice patients to co-create “Legacy Letters.” These letters capture memories, values and lessons that patients wish to share, preserving stories that might otherwise be lost. By honoring these voices and preserving legacies, Letters Without Limits hopes to affirm the central role of humanism in medicine, reminding us that every patient is more than their illness and that their voices deserve to be heard. As you read these powerful Legacy Letters, we invite you to pause, reflect and recognize the beauty in every life.

In high school, they put you through every career exploration website in the book with endless surveys to fill the time. What are your hobbies? Are you a social person? A visual learner or auditory? After these life-changing questions, small colorful blurbs would appear, possible careers ranging from travel agent to journalist, salesman to entertainer. Over and over, you complete these surveys, for four years. But at the end of the day, the core question is the same one we were given as children for icebreaker worksheets. “What do you want to be when you grow up?” My question in return, stated or not, was often “Can I pick more than one?”

For as long as I can remember, I’ve worn my heart on my face. Joy, love and contentment glimmer in my eyes even when I attempt to hide my smile. The lump in my throat when I’m hurt shows up in the set of my lips and the hoarseness of my voice. My hands move more when I’m excited and shake into fists in anger.

There are few things so contagious as Christmas in Manila. The streets come alive with spiraling lights and glowing parols. Mariah Carey reigns in every mall and, out from each corner of every barangay spills the sound of belting karaoke and sappy ballads. With everyone home for the holidays, the usual city crowds multiply. People pour out onto the church steps at mass, some so far away as to only hear the sound of the sermon from outdoor speakers, keeping the heat at bay with abaniko and pamaypay fans. The city stays awake for Noche Buena, with whole pigs skewered on the table for lechon, pancit and lengua and platters of baked kakanin ready for grazing throughout the night. Temperature aside, the Philippines warms even more at Christmastime.

It is 6 a.m. and my roommates and I have had a total of eight alarms go off from 6:00 to 6:40 a.m. for the Freshman Cohort’s Spring Semester Registration. (Can be read as: none of the alarms actually got anyone out of bed, but all of them successfully jump-started the kind of frenzy that feels like work even though it accomplishes absolutely nothing).

AI has become prevalent in our world in a remarkably short amount of time. It infiltrates many aspects of our day-to-day lives almost imperceptibly while industries wrestle with the ethics and legality of using this new technology in their businesses. Take Hollywood, for example, which must now come to terms with AI and determine not just if the artificial can create art, but also what rights creatives have to their works and performances.

Every morning I wake up with an ache in my body that makes me wonder if monsters really do exist under my bed, and if they take turns using me as a trampoline through the night. If I turn my head slightly the wrong way, I fear it’ll just break clean from my neck; when I sit still in class for any longer than five minutes, my back will creak and crack loud enough to scare my classmates around me.

If one were to look up the definition of a traditional college football powerhouse, the Indiana Hoosiers would likely be the antithesis of that. Over the 127 seasons that Indiana has played, they have won only two conference titles, finished ranked in the final AP poll 7 times and won at least 10 games in a season once (last year). Until the last few weeks, Indiana had the most losses of any DI football program of all time, a stat that’s partially a product of how long the program has existed, but also due to perpetual mediocrity.

The longest U.S. government shutdown in history ended on Nov. 12 after 43 days, leaving millions of Americans facing interruptions to federal programs and funding. Throughout October, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which offers cash cards to Americans at or below 130% of the poverty line, allowing them to purchase basic food items, continued on reduced funding; however, any extended shutdowns beyond 30 days, can pose difficulties in maintaining SNAP benefits for recipients. In Maryland, 668,000 individuals, including 259,000 children, are enrolled in SNAP.

Since the war between Israel and Palestine began on Oct. 7, 2023, universities across the nation have been scrutinized for their approaches toward combating antisemitism. In February 2024, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights announced that a Title VI investigation was opened into the University in light of antisemitic incident reports. Further, in January 2025 — with the arrival of the Trump administration — the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights entered into a joint resolution agreement with the University to outline tangible steps to address antisemitism on campus. The News-Letter investigated the plan’s effects on the Jewish student experience through interviews with students and a review of administrative records.

The Nexus of Open Science symposium took place on Nov. 14, bringing together leaders in neuroscience, clinical research, biomedical engineering and data science to explore topics ranging from FAIR data and software standards to improving the accessibility of AI tools in biomedical contexts like neuroimaging.

To those without previous exposure, however, a NMR spectroscopy diagram may just look like a series of arbitrary peaks.
