1-Across: International Women’s Day month
On Wednesday, Feb. 25, a united effort between the cross-institution group of faculty, staff and students from Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, Bloomberg School of Public Health, the School of Medicine and the School of Nursing hosted the panel discussion, “Humanitarian Medical Care: Reports from Doctors Returning From Gaza,” to raise awareness regarding the ongoing crisis in Gaza through a medical humanitarian lens.
Recently, I have taken up meditation. It is one of those things you turn to when you fall into a post-grad quarter-life crisis in your early twenties (you’ll know what I’m talking about when the time comes, trust me). I had hoped that always being told I am “mature for my age” would have saved me from such a fate, but alas, I succumbed to it alongside all of my friends once the summer after college graduation ended. Left with a choice between getting really into rock-climbing or trying to become an influencer, I decided to take the third option: turning to meditation and going on a quest to “find myself” instead. So starting this semester, I began a ritual of daily meditation, meditating for 15 minutes every day right after I wake up.
This year’s NBA trade came with countless hot takes, surprises and gambles, and was the start of some rebuilds. Injury-dependent playoff expectations will be reshaped and team systems will need to adapt.
I started therapy a couple of weeks ago (sorry, I know that I have a tendency to overshare in these articles). At one of our first appointments, my therapist asked me what I do for “fun.” In response, I just stared at her — jaw slacked, and eyes glossed over, like she just asked me to do cartwheels across the harbor.
Scholars of international law, natural resources professionals and Indigenous advocates gathered on the evening of Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2026, at Johns Hopkins’ Bloomberg Center in Washington, D.C., for an evening of conversation on the implications and ramifications of the green transition worldwide. The green transition is defined as the currently in-progress global technological shift aimed at mitigating and preventing the effects of climate change through technologies such as renewable energy, sustainable infrastructure and clean transportation. Although continuing the green transition is widely accepted as necessary for the health of humankind, the International Law Society’s “Green at What Cost? Human Rights and the Energy Transition” explored the often-overlooked effects of technological development, even when ostensibly sustainable, on worldwide Indigenous communities.

Divyansh Lalwani, a recent Biomedical Engineering and Applied Mathematics and Statistics graduate, recently released “overlay,” a software that reduces the effort that comes with switching screens by relying on overlays, content that lays on top of the overall screen.

It feels as if spring is flying by before the spring weather truly arrives. But now, with the first signs of sun, one can slow down to appreciate the pleasant weather, even if it’s not possible right now to slow down in classes (or appreciate them).

For the longest time, the snow wouldn't melt, and we were all slipping around on ice-encrusted mounds of it. Half the sidewalks remained unshoveled for weeks, and the other half were mosaics of different colors of ice melt. There wasn’t a whole lot to do since any amount of time spent outside felt treacherous and unpleasant, so I took to spending as much of my time as I could inside.
Last weekend, I was convinced (read: dragged) to go out by a high school friend who was in town. So I left the comfort of my stuffed-animal-filled bed and put aside my sacred 9 p.m. bedtime to go out on the town and relive my undergraduate days for one night only.

Nowadays, it’s rare to walk into a restaurant just because you’re passing by. Whether it’s a relaxed hangout with friends or a carefully curated date night, many people decide on the restaurant beforehand. Restaurant reviews on platforms such as Google, Yelp, Beli, Resy and more are crucial in guiding one’s choice of dining. A lot of people also choose to write a review of the restaurant after an experience there, helping other potential diners decide whether it’s the right atmosphere, food, service and convenience they are looking for. Here’s a guide from an amateur restaurant reviewer on how to write a restaurant review, with personal pet peeves included.
