This last events article of the semester is a special one! We will look ahead to all the fun winter festivities and see the many ways to celebrate the holiday season in Baltimore. It’s a great way to relieve stress during finals week or to celebrate the end of the semester. Happy holidays — Events This Weekend will be back next year!
While many first graders eagerly jump into reading, this was not the case for Parallel Learning CEO and Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Education Entrepreneur Diana Heldfond, who spoke in a Nov. 30 installment of the Leading Change: Perspectives from Outside of Medicine talk series titled "Neurodiversity and Leadership."
On Wednesday, Nov. 29, the student-led Artificial Intelligence Society at Johns Hopkins (HopAI) invited Daeyeol Lee, a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Neuroscience and Psychological Brain Sciences, to share his views on biological and artificial intelligence (AI). At the talk, Lee explored how intelligence manifests itself across biological boundaries and how the definition of intelligence can help developers and users gain a deeper understanding of AI.
Whether fueling their caffeine dependence, partaking in an established daily ritual or simply craving to purchase a beverage or snack, college students are notorious for loving coffee. Hopkins is no exception, with students seemingly carrying around cups of coffee and tea wherever you look. My three months here have been marked by the daily excitement of rewarding myself with a beverage (currently obsessing over lavender and dirty chai lattes) or a snack from one of our on-campus cafes.
In response to “Hopkins must hold Dr. Darren Klugman accountable” published November 30, 2023:
It seems as if every time I write, all I can think about is aging. As 2024 begins, I am on the cusp of my 21st year. This milestone comes with its own set of hassles, yet 20 is a big year for most. For some, it’s the first time they are living away from home; for many, it’s a moment of self-discovery and finding their identity; and for most, it’s the start of accumulating existential dread for what’s to come (kidding, kinda).
My grandfather has been asking me to write his biography for years. A tome, he said. Something hundreds of thousands of words long to capture his every struggle and triumph. I brushed it off as a joke, and though he would laugh along, there was always a somber undertone to his request. He wanted to be heard. He wanted to be remembered and seen and celebrated.
Ever since President Joe Biden confirmed that he would be running for president in the 2024 elections to seek a second term in office, one question has unified the American population more successfully than any Thanksgiving dinner could have: Isn’t he too old to be the president?
On Monday, Nov. 27, postdoctoral fellow Kiara Eldred from the Thomas Reh Lab at the University of Washington gave a talk titled "Visualizing Progenitor Cell Trajectories in the Developing Human Retina" for the Department of Biology.
If there were ever a genre that screamed for a resolution at its every turn, it would be the whodunnit. Its age-old conventions hinge on moving from the unknown to the known, situating viewers on the edges of their seats right up until the fateful final reveal. In French director Justine Triet’s Palme d’Or winner film, Anatomy of a Fall, the very genre finds itself harshly interrogated. When a mystery reaches its terminus, what do we truly know?
In the second to last week of the semester, there will be many arts performances left and right, as multiple groups vie for your limited attention. At Peabody Institute, there were too many department and individual recitals to list out — not only is the end of the semester approaching for Peabody students, meaning many end-of-semester performances, but the holiday season has encouraged performances from choirs and small ensembles alike. I encourage you to look through the Hub to find the perfect performance to calm you down before finals consume your mental state.
With fast fashion brands like Shein being so cheap, it is easy to convince ourselves that we should buy more clothes. Shein is amongst other fashion retailers, such as Temu and FashionNova, that are known for their cheap product prices and their frequent releases of new items. Despite the allure of fast fashion, it fosters a culture of clothing waste and overconsumption that is harmful to both the environment and individuals.
“Mom, wake up. A new Oscar contender just dropped.”
70. This is the number of points that the Denver Broncos conceded in their week 3 loss against the Miami Dolphins. Looking back, it’s difficult to believe that game was played this season, and even more difficult to believe that it got worse from there. As if conceding the second most points in NFL history wasn’t bad enough, two weeks later the Broncos lost to Nathaniel Hackett and the New York Jets, the man who led Denver in the disaster of a season that was 2022.
Baltimore’s beloved jazz singer, the late Ethel Ennis, would have turned 91 years old last week. She is known for her smooth vocals, her expressiveness and her ardent authenticity; never a fan of record labels, Ennis walked away from the superstar track so that she could do things her own way. Billie Holiday once said to her, “You have a great voice. You don’t fake it.” Frank Sinatra said she was “my kind of singer.” Keystone Korner Baltimore celebrated Ennis’ birthday on Wednesday, Nov. 29 with a gigantic vanilla cake and a series of performances to match her silken songs.
As we are approaching finals season, let’s take some time to acknowledge the hard work of scientists around the world and learn from their commitment to their work.
