🧶 Harvard Researchers Turn Ordinary Knitting Into Programmable Technology ｢ A piece of knitted fabric can now do more than stretch and fold. By carefully controlling its yarns and stitch patterns, researchers have made textiles that snap between stable shapes, operate electrical switches, and even track a person’s steps ｣ https://scitechdaily.com/harvard-researchers-turn-ordinary-knitting-into-programmable-technology/ #science #knitting #research #harvard

I've been teaching college students for decades. Most of them can no longer finish a book | Fortune I assume students will do the reading of long, dense texts, week after week. Lately, that assumption has started to feel naive. https://fortune.com/2026/07/26/why-dont-college-students-read-amherst-college/ #TopNews #News #American #Harvard #theNationalEndowmentfortheArts

#RalphWaldoEmerson, the #transcendentalist #philosopher, delivered an address to the graduating class of #HarvardDivinitySchool on #ThisDayInHistory in 1838. He scandalized many #Harvard faculty and students by rejecting #Biblical miracles and saying #Jesus was only a great man.

🚨 #Privacy emergency! 🚨 We interrupt this quantum computer fanfic to remind you that privacy is a thing—or so says some #Harvard smarty-pants. 🌐💡 Don't worry, though; if the quantum overlords don't get us, Cynthia Dwork just might bore us to death with differential equations. https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=9902 #Emergency #QuantumComputing #CynthiaDwork #DifferentialEquations #HackerNews #ngated

Chicago Sun-Times - All | University of Chicago to offer free tuition for students from families making less than $250,000 a year by Mary Norkol AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The University of Chicago announced that, beginning in fall 2027, it will waive tuition for undergraduate students whose families earn under $250,000 a year and will also cover housing, meals and other fees for those from families earning under $125,000. The move, described by President Paul Alivisatos as a step to keep “the brightest minds” accessible to middle‑ and upper‑middle‑income families, comes as the school’s total cost of attendance nears $100,000 annually (with tuition alone about $71,000). The university already provides roughly $75,000 in average aid per student and $225 million in aid each year, and the new policy joins similar initiatives at Harvard, Columbia, MIT, Northwestern and other top schools that have begun offering tuition‑free education to families below certain income thresholds.

Times of India | Who is Lorna Hajdini? 5 things we know about the JPMorgan executive accused of abusing 'Brown Boy Indian' colleague AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Lorna Hajdini, an Executive Director in leveraged finance at JPMorgan Chase, is the subject of a civil lawsuit filed in New York County Supreme Court on April 27 2026 by a junior male colleague who alleges that she subjected him to sexual abuse, coercion, drugging, and repeated racial harassment, including being called a “Brown boy Indian.” The plaintiff claims the misconduct began in 2024, with threats to his career when he resisted, while JPMorgan maintains that its internal investigation found no evidence supporting the accusations and that the complainant did not fully cooperate. The case, still unresolved and pending trial, has sparked broader discussion about power imbalances, workplace racism, and the effectiveness of internal reporting mechanisms in the finance sector.
