Some types of cancer are often diagnosed after the disease has metastasized and spread to other parts of the body. 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. Indirect costs are a percentage of grant money that is paid by the NIH to institutions conducting research (i.e. Hopkins) for facilities, equipment, administrative support and IT infrastructure costs. 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.

The dining table was overflowing on the Tuesday evening — sliced century eggs placed in a flower shape, crisp-skinned Peking duck, steaming vegetables in pork broth: These dishes were full of the taste and smell of home. My grandmother ladled out bowls of hot fish soup, reminding everyone that in Chinese, “yú” (fish) sounds like “abundance.” We displayed the Lunar New Year Gala on TV in the background with (less funny than usual) skits that we half-listened to while passing around plates of dried tofu snacks and pastries. It was a warm familiarity I had missed. For one night, it felt like I had never left for college.

In 2023, Christopher McNaughton suffered from a debilitating case of ulcerative colitis, which caused him to develop severe arthritis, diarrhea, numbing, and dangerous blood clots. Luckily, an amalgamation of drugs crafted by a Mayo Clinic specialist brought his illness under control. However, McNaughton’s case cost nearly $2 million dollars a year to maintain, which flagged him as a “high dollar account” under UnitedHealthcare’s policies. The company reviewed McNaughton’s situation and deemed that his case was not necessary, refusing to pay for the treatment.

The Michelin Guide may not visit Baltimore, but that doesn’t mean the city lacks Michelin-worthy restaurants. Baltimore’s dining scene has a quiet confidence, a mix of old-school seafood institutions and chef-driven spots that don’t need the extra fanfare. Some meals linger in memory long after the last bite, the kind that make you stop mid-conversation just to take it all in. If the Michelin Guide ever turned its gaze here, these three would be the first in line.

Before its wide release, The Brutalist was framed as the cinema event of the year by passionate enthusiasts who were entranced with the mere depth it offered. The three-and-a-half-hour historical epic — intermission included — was lauded with exceptional praise from its premiere. For fans of celluloid, it’s the first film since the 1960s shot almost entirely using VistaVision, which is a super high-definition, widescreen format. Directed by actor-turned-auteur Brady Corbet, the film was shot in only 34 days and, even more impressively, was made for less than 10 million dollars. The Brutalist is not only a feat of the form but a sign that independent projects fueled by a passion for the craft could be actualized.

Bob Dylan is an enigma. Despite being a towering force of American culture, he has always defied easy interpretation, too slippery to fit into categories or expectations. So, do we really need a Bob Dylan musical biopic? The genre is synonymous with clichés and unoriginality — notoriously squeezing complex lives into generic, done-to-death narratives.
