23-year-old serial entrepreneur Steven Wang dropped out of Harvard and raised $17 million for his brokerage. He says he made his worst stock investment in elementary school
Steven Wang, 23, dropped out of Harvard to launch Dub, a regulated brokerage platform, raising $17 million in seed funding. A lifelong entrepreneur, he started with origami sales in first grade and later built e-commerce businesses. After a stint at Apple, he left Harvard mid-semester in 2021 to capitalize on the trading app boom. Now based in NYC’s financial district, he prioritizes efficiency—walking to work, maintaining a strict meal routine, and working out daily. While he rarely takes vacations, he dreams of living in Paris, emulating existentialist philosophers.

Harvard DSO Hosts ‘Mattering’ Initiative Kickoff Event
Harvard’s Dean of Students Office launched the “Mattering” initiative to foster a sense of belonging amid the College’s high-pressure culture. More than 50 students attended the kickoff event, featuring a Zoom talk from the Mattering Movement, icebreakers, and brainstorming sessions. Inspired by research linking well-being to feeling valued beyond achievements, the initiative aims to counter academic stress. Proposed ideas include “chatty tables” in dining halls and repurposing Cambridge Queen’s Head as a social space. While some students are skeptical of cultural change, others remain hopeful about its potential impact.
“We tend to be very future thinking, or future minded, rather than the present,” Amy X. Zhou ’28 said. “I genuinely don’t know how you can change something that’s so embedded in our school environment, I’m curious to see what they have to say and what their ideas are.”
In an interview with The Crimson, Yutian Li ’28 — a student organizer for the kickoff — said she hopes to install “chatty tables” in dining halls, designed for students to meet new friends and to create “third spaces.”
Still, students like Anna Shao ’28 expressed hope for the new project. “I hope it will draw more people together, but I don’t know how effective it will be, so we’ll have to see,” Shao said.
哈佛DSO举办“Mattering”计划启动活动
哈佛大学学生事务处发起了“Mattering”计划，旨在在学院高压文化中培养归属感。50多名学生参加了启动活动，包括Mattering运动的Zoom、破冰活动和头脑风暴会议。该计划将幸福感与外界的被重视感蕴含起来的研究启发，旨在解决课堂压力。提出的想法包括在食堂设置“聊天桌”并最终剑桥头改变形成社交空间。虽然一些学生对文化变革持怀疑态度，但其他学生仍然含着希望。
“我们倾向于考虑未来，而不是关注，”Amy X. Zhou， 28届说。“我真的不知道如何才能在学校环境中根深蒂固的东西，我很好奇他们想说什么，改变他们的想法是什么。”
在接受《深红采访报》时，启动仪式的学生组织者、2028届学生Yutian Li 表示，希望她在餐厅安装“聊天桌”，让学生结识新朋友并创造“第三空间”。
尽管如此，像 28 届的Anna Shao这样的学生仍然对这个新项目充满了我们的希望。“我希望它能够吸引更多人，但我不知道效果如何，所以还是得拭目以待。"
Harvard’s Sexual Harassment Policies Adapt to Trump Administration
Harvard will maintain protections against sexual misconduct based on gender identity and sexual orientation despite the Department of Education's rollback of Biden-era Title IX rules. The university’s two-policy system—one complying with federal law and the other covering broader misconduct—allows it to protect LGBTQ+ students while avoiding federal funding risks. However, Harvard adjusted its Title IX policy to align with Trump administration regulations, removing gender identity from its sexual harassment definition. Critics argue this approach is “messy” and fear increasing federal pressure against diversity and inclusion in higher education.
哈佛大学性骚扰政策适应特朗普政府
尽管教育部废除了拜登时代的《教育法修正案第九条》规定，哈佛大学仍将继续保护学生基于性别认同和性虐待的不当行为。该校的双重政策（一项遵守联邦法律，另一项严重的不当行为）将能够保护LGBTQ+。然而，哈佛大学制定了《教育法修正案第九条》规定，以符合特朗普政府的规定，将性别认同从性骚扰中删除。批评者认为这种“混乱”行为，并担心立即对高等教育的改革和民主性施加越来越大的压力。
Republicans Are Floating Plans To Raise the Endowment Tax. Here’s What You Need To Know.
Republicans are pushing to increase the endowment tax, with Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) proposing an 8.6 percentage point hike. Harvard, already lobbying against such measures, warns this would severely impact financial aid, research, and faculty hiring. The Trump administration supports higher endowment taxes, with proposals ranging from 10% to 35%. If passed, Harvard could pay billions in new taxes, significantly cutting its budget. With a Republican-controlled government, the likelihood of an endowment tax increase passing has grown, furthering financial pressure on elite universities.
共和党正在酝酿筹集提高遗产税的计划。以下是您需要了解的信息。
捐赠人正在推动提高捐赠税，迈克·劳勒（RN.Y.）建议将捐赠税提高8.6个百分点。哈佛大学已经在游说反对此类措施，并警告称，这将严重影响捐赠税、研究和教职员工招聘。特朗普政府支持转让税，建议从10%提高到35%不等。如果通过，哈佛大学可能会支付所需数亿美元的新税，从而大幅削减预算。在政府委托控制下，增加了转让税的可能性增加，这进一步加剧了精英大学的财务压力。

What electric fish can teach scientists about NeuroAI
Electric fish, specifically the elephantnose fish, are offering valuable insights into NeuroAI and collective intelligence. These fish use electric pulses to communicate, which governs behaviors like cooperation and competition. Kanaka Rajan and her team are studying these fish to understand multi-agent intelligence, observing how groups interact and adapt. Through artificial simulations, they’ve found that social dynamics, like cooperation and competition, evolve based on environmental factors such as food availability. This research could influence AI development, guiding how AI agents might collaborate in swarms to solve complex problems.

Columns: Saving Money Is One Thing. Trump’s NIH Cuts Are Another.
Trump’s NIH cuts cap indirect cost reimbursements at 15%, aiming to save $4 billion annually but severely impacting smaller research institutions more than elite universities like Harvard. While Harvard can absorb the hit, rural and public institutions relying on NIH funding face existential threats. Critics argue indirect costs need reform but warn against drastic cuts that could hinder life-saving medical research. Harvard’s 69% indirect cost rate is well above the national average of 27-28%, raising questions about spending efficiency. Reform is needed, but blunt cost-cutting threatens scientific progress.
专栏：省钱是一回事，特朗普削减 NIH 根本又是一回事。
特朗普的NIH将成本指令报告削减至15%，旨在每年节省40亿美元，但对小型研究机构的影响比哈佛等精英大学更大。虽然哈佛可以承受冲击，但依赖NIH资助的农村和公共机构面临生存威胁。批评者认为间接成本需要改革，但警告不要大幅削减，可能会阻碍挽救生命的医学研究。这69%的哈佛69%的成本率远低于全国27-28%的平均水平，这引发了人们对支出效率的质疑。改革是必要的，但成本大幅削减会威胁科学进步。
Columns: Maybe Harvard Students Aren’t Engaged in Class. But They Aren’t the Only Ones To Blame.
A recent Harvard report criticizes students for prioritizing extracurriculars over coursework, citing skipped readings and low attendance. However, Mukta R. Dharmapurikar argues that structural curricular issues also contribute to disengagement. Large lecture courses, rigid General Education requirements, and limited seminar-style classes fail to foster engagement. While academics should be prioritized, extracurriculars enrich Harvard’s culture, offering professional and social opportunities. Blaming students alone ignores systemic issues—faculty and administrators must also adapt teaching methods to encourage participation and balance academic and extracurricular commitments effectively.
专栏：哈佛学生可能上课不专心。但他们并不是唯一应该受到责备的人。
哈佛大学最近的一份报告批评学生将课外活动安排在更高的课程上，理由是他们逃课和出勤率低。 Dharmapurikar认为，课程结构问题也导致了学生的参与度降低。大型宣讲课程、严格的通识教育要求和有限的研讨会式课程都无法促进学生的参与度。虽然学术应该被优先考虑，但课外活动丰富了哈佛的职业文化，提供了社交机会。单责怪学生就注意到了系统性问题——教师和管理人员必须调整教学方法来鼓励学生参与，并有效地平衡学术和课外活动。
Silenced at Harvard: How a one-sided campus culture stifles student speech
The article argues that Harvard's campus culture stifles student speech, citing a survey showing a decline in students' comfort with expressing opinions. It highlights concerns over administrative statements limiting speech, a liberal-dominated faculty, and DEI policies contributing to ideological conformity. Harvard ranked lowest in the 2024 Free Speech Rankings, with students reporting self-censorship. The piece advocates for policy changes like neutral grading but insists that true academic freedom requires a culture that actively welcomes diverse viewpoints.
哈佛的沉默：一边倒的校园文化如何扼杀学生言论
文章认为，哈佛的校园文化扼杀了学生的攻击自由，并引用了一篇文章，该调查调查显示学生表达的自我意识下降。强调人们对攻击的行政声明、自由派占主导地位的教师文章以及DEI助长一致的担忧报告。哈佛在2024年攻击称自由排名中排名最低，学生在政策改变，例如中立评分，但坚称真正学术的观点积极欢迎不同的文化观点。
Health: It’s inoperable cancer. Should AI make call about what happens next?
In a recent conversation, Rebecca Weintraub Brendel, director of Harvard Medical School's Center for Bioethics, discussed the role of AI in end-of-life decisions. While AI has already proven valuable in diagnostics, she emphasized that AI should assist in providing information, not make moral or life-altering decisions. Key issues include understanding the emotional weight of decisions and respecting patients' values and wishes, particularly in cases of incapacitation. Brendel argued that while AI can enhance transparency and assist with prognosis, human involvement remains essential, especially in decisions about dignity, care, and what it means to be human.
健康：这是无法手术的癌症。人工智能应该决定下一步该怎么做？
在最近的一次对话中，哈佛医学院生物伦理中心主任丽贝卡·温特劳布·布伦德尔讨论了人工智能在火灾急救中的作用。人工智能在诊断方面已经证明很有价值，但人工智能急救提供的信息，而不是理解认知或生活关键问题包括决策的情绪重量、尊重病人的价值观和愿望，特别是在失去认知的情况下。虽然人工智能可以提高火灾和急救救援的能力，但她的参与仍然很重要，特别是在有关人格、护理和人性意义方面。
