If you are staying near Baltimore over Spring Break, here are a few things to help you keep busy, stay entertained and relieve some stress to prepare for the final stretch of this semester!
It’s the last stretch before spring break! Are you as tired as I am? I am definitely looking forward to going home and relaxing (or at least, pretending to relax while inwardly stressing about how quickly the semester is going by).
As we approach the final stretch before spring break, let’s look beyond our class content and appreciate how scientists around the world have applied textbook knowledge to generate meaningful research findings. This week’s science news focuses on fascinating biodiversity in nature, humans’ impact on the environment and the potential to restore past lives on Earth.
Watch the city come alive with Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations this weekend! Just don’t forget to wear green and set your clock forward an hour for daylight savings!
As the semester reaches its halfway mark and midterms ramp up before spring break, take a break to learn about this week’s breaking science news. This week includes (intentional) breaks in tuberculosis RNA, (unintentional) breakdowns on the moon, gene editing and particle masses.
The list curated for this week was not easy. The truth is, after the postponements — caused by actors’ and writers’ strikes in 2023 — have finally ended, we’re getting a surge of new content, and not only in the “To watch...” category. Ariana Grande’s new album, for example, would have been released much later had she not had a break from filming Wicked (2024). The dark fantasy film Damsel, originally set to be released in October 2023, was pushed back alongside five other films due to the strikes.
Baltimore is hosting the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) basketball tournament to kick off March Madness! However, even if you’re not interested in basketball, there are still many more events to check out.
This past week has been an incredibly successful week for Hopkins sports! As we approach NCAA tournament play, here are some of the highlights of the weekend for our Blue Jays.
With February rapidly drawing to a close, let’s dive into last week’s science and technology headlines: Microplastics are complicating efforts to define a new epoch in Earth’s history, poor metabolisms may be the cause of intestinal knotting, machines are reading minds to learn more about the mystery of the brain, and astronomers have discovered a billion-year-old black hole eruption that may have led to an unusual formation of stars.
As the midterm season finally comes upon us (and probably won’t fade out until late April), we at the Arts & Entertainment section think that now is the best time to ignore all your responsibilities and spend a night at the theater or curled up with a good book!
As the midterm season begins to pick up, we recommend taking a breather and reading about this week’s biggest headliners in science and technology: Smoking causes even more harm than previously anticipated, SpaceX is launching a spacecraft to reach the moon, scientists discovered a reason behind long-lasting allergies and newly engineered beef-rice may help address food insecurity.
The first round of midterms and essays definitely calls for a relaxing weekend. Read on to find romantic getaways, fun workshops and events with friends!
We’re in store for a warmer week, and I thank the Lord that we are. I’m a native Baltimorean and even for me this past week was miserable — not because of Valentine’s Day, although that didn’t exactly help. Doesn’t it feel like the spring semester is zipping by? Then again, when doesn’t it feel like that?
The Super Bowl, Lunar New Year and Valentine's Day are behind us, but the festivities don’t have to stop! Check out what you can do this weekend away from Homewood Campus!
As the weather starts to warm up, let’s look at some of the most exciting developments in this week’s science review.
Love is in the air this week as we roll into Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re spending the evening with your partner, or just enjoying a Galentine’s Day with your best friends, be sure to check out this week’s recommendations for date night ideas.
As the spring semester is kicking into high gear, let’s go over some of the biggest headlines in science news from the past week.
The city doesn’t get more exciting than this weekend! It kicks off with Lunar New Year on Saturday, the Super Bowl on Sunday and Valentine’s Day just around the corner.
Here’s the Arts & Entertainment’s selections for this week’s “To watch and watch for.” If you feel anxious about classes, take time to unwind and maybe watch, read or listen to our suggestions!
We have a chilly weekend ahead of us, but there is still plenty to do around town! Check out different events going on this weekend, both in and outside.
