Why does it matter who owns a hospital?
Research has shown patients are more likely to fall, get new infections, or experience harm in other ways after a hospital is acquired by a private equity firm.
Zirui Song, HMS professor and primary care physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, describes why different business models in health care matter to patients and policymakers, and how research can help keep people healthy.

What prompts genetic adaptation? Ask a finch.
A new pangenomic study led by Bohao Fang offers fresh insights into how genetic adaptations occur in response to disease. By analyzing the DNA of house finches, Fang discovered a large DNA inversion that may have helped these birds resist certain diseases, such as conjunctivitis. The study utilized advanced sequencing techniques and a broader genomic approach, which revealed structural variations previously overlooked. This research could provide valuable clues on how evolution enables species, including humans, to respond to infectious diseases. The findings also suggest that a pangenomic approach may be key to understanding genetic responses in wild populations.
什么促使了基因适应？去问一只雀科鸟类吧。
由方伯豪领导的一项新的泛基因组学研究为遗传适应如何应对疾病提供了新的观点。通过分析家雀的DNA，方伯豪发现了一个大的DNA 倒位，这可能有助于这些鸟类抵抗某些疾病，例如结膜炎。该研究利用了先进的测序技术和更广泛的基因组方法，揭示了以前被忽视的结构变异。这项研究可以提供有价值的线索，说明进化如何使包括人类在内的物种能够应对传染病。研究结果还表明，泛基因组学方法可能是了解野生种群遗传反应的关键。
‘Just Take My Information’: Harvard Students Risk Leaks for Love on Datamatch
By Hiral M. Chavre and Darcy G Lin
Harvard's annual Datamatch survey is reopening, but last year's data leak still lingers in students' minds. In 2024, a student exposed security flaws by scraping and leaking user information, raising concerns about data privacy. While Datamatch has since removed its searchable user function and claims to have strengthened security, some vulnerabilities may persist. Despite this, many students remain unfazed, prioritizing the fun of matchmaking over privacy concerns. While some users plan to exercise caution, others are indifferent, with one student remarking, “Just take my information. It’s okay.”
“只要拿走我的信息”：哈佛学生在Datamatch上寻找时冒着了泄露信息的风险
作者： Hiral M. Chavre 和 Darcy G Lin
哈佛大学一年级的数据匹配调查重启，但去年的数据泄露事件仍然活跃在学生们的心目中。2024年即将到来，一名学生通过抓取并泄露信息的用户暴露了安全漏洞，仍然引发了人们即将对数据隐私的担忧。此后删除了用户的可搜索能并增强了所声称的安全性，但也有一些漏洞可能考虑。因此，许多学生仍然不为所动，但优先配置的乐趣是隐私问题。虽然有些用户打算进行窃取的学习，但其他人无动于衷，一位学生评论说：“只要拿走我的信息就行了。好吧。”
What Does Harvard Look For in a College Dean?
As Harvard searches for its next College dean, the selection will likely favor a tenured faculty member with administrative experience, strong academic credentials, and deep engagement with undergraduate life. Outgoing Dean Rakesh Khurana set a precedent as a visible and student-focused leader, and his successor will need to balance internal Harvard politics with external pressures, including challenges from the second Trump administration. Fundraising ability, academic rigor, and fostering intellectual vitality will be key responsibilities. Potential candidates include Amanda Claybaugh, Eric Beerbohm, and Anne Harrington, though none have publicly declared interest.
哈佛大学对学院院长的要求是怎样的？
哈佛大学正在物色下一任学院院长，选拔对象很可能是拥有行政经验、学术资历高、深度参与本科生生活的终身教职人员。即将离任的帕克拉凯什·库拉纳建立了很强的先例，他是一位明星、以学生为中心的领导者，他的继任者平衡哈佛内部政治与外部压力，包括第二届特朗普政府需要带来的挑战。筹款、学术严谨性和培养智力活力将是关键职责。潜在的竞选包括Amanda Claybaugh、Eric Beerbohm和Anne Harrington，不过他们都没有公开表示有兴趣。
Even Bill Gates thinks AI is a little scary
This Harvard Gazette article covers Bill Gates' recent campus visit to discuss his memoir Source Code. Gates reflected on his childhood, his intense relationship with his mother, and his early passion for computing. He recounted his time at Harvard, tackling advanced math courses and ultimately dropping out in 1975 to co-found Microsoft with Paul Allen. While discussing technology’s evolution, he expressed nostalgia for the early optimism surrounding computing and acknowledged concerns over AI, calling it both promising and “a little bit scary” due to its rapid development.
就连比尔·盖茨也认为人工智能有点可怕
《哈佛公报》的这篇文章报道了比尔·盖茨最近访问的校园，讨论了他的回忆录《来源代码》盖茨回忆了他的童年、他与母亲的亲密关系以及他对早期的热爱。他讲述了他在哈佛的时光，攻读高等数学学习课程，最终于1975年辍学，与保罗·艾伦共同创立公司。在讨论技术的发展时，他怀念早期计算的乐观情绪，并承认对人工智能的担忧，称人工智能主要是希望，又由于其快速发展而“有点可怕”。
As Trump Orders ICE Raids Nationwide, Harvard Stays Quiet
As the Trump administration ramps up nationwide deportations, Harvard maintains its policy of directing federal officers to the Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) or the Office of the General Counsel (OGC) if they seek access to non-public spaces. However, the university has not issued public statements on immigration enforcement, unlike past actions challenging Trump-era policies. Faculty have been privately reminded of the protocol, but concerns remain about its scope and effectiveness, particularly amid Trump’s executive order targeting pro-Palestine international students. Harvard says it continues to monitor policy changes and support affected students.
特朗普下令在全国范围内进行突击搜查，哈佛大学却保持沉默
随着特朗普政府加大全国驱逐力度，哈佛大学仍坚持其政策，即如果联邦官员试图进入非公共场所，他们会被引导至哈佛大学警察局 (HUPD) 或总法律顾问办公室 (OGC)。然而，与过去挑战特朗普时代政策的行动不同，该大学尚未就移民执法发表公开声明。教师们私下被提醒注意该协议，但人们仍然担心其范围和有效性，尤其是在特朗普针对亲巴勒斯坦国际学生的行政命令下。哈佛大学表示，它将继续监测政策变化并支持受影响的学生。
Staring Back at the Panopticon: Resisting Tech Cronyism Under Trump 2.0
Patrick K. Lin’s commentary critiques the Trump administration’s deregulatory stance on technology, particularly AI and surveillance. Lin highlights executive actions that favor tech cronyism, including AI deregulation and the militarization of surveillance tools. He warns that these policies, alongside increased reliance on AI, exacerbate privacy violations, algorithmic bias, and civil liberties infringements. Lin stresses the need for personal privacy protection and actionable steps to safeguard against government surveillance, pointing to various resources for activists and individuals facing increased digital threats. Ultimately, he argues that without federal privacy protections, individuals must act independently to protect their data.

Columns: Say No to Screens. Say Yes To Learning.
By Zoe Yu. Zoe Yu ’27, a Crimson Editorial editor, is a Government concentrator in Pforzheimer House.
Zoe Yu argues that no-screen policies in classrooms foster deeper learning by eliminating distractions and forcing students to engage with material more meaningfully. While initially frustrating, stepping away from technology enhances focus, comprehension, and critical thinking. She contends that discomfort—boredom, frustration, and uncertainty—is essential to the learning process, yet tech often serves as an easy escape from it. By removing screens, students reclaim their attention, engage in richer discussions, and embrace the intellectual challenges that true learning demands. Rather than restricting freedom, Yu suggests, such policies restore it.
专栏：拒绝屏幕, 接受学习。
作者： Zoe Yu。Zoe Yu（27界）是Crimson编辑部的编辑，在Pforzheimer House学习政府专业。
Zoe Yu认为，课堂上的无屏幕政策可以消除干扰，使学生更有意义地参与学习，从而促进更深入的学习。虽然最初令人沮丧，但远离科技可以提高注意力、理解力和批判性思维。认为，不一致感（无聊、不安和不确定性）对学习过程至关重要，但科技往往是消除这些干扰感的便捷方式。通过移除屏幕，学生讨论重新集中注意力，参与更丰富的学习，并接受真正的学习所需的问题。，这样的政策不是自由限制，而是自由。
Editorials: Who Better To Defend Harvard’s Academic Mission Than Its Faculty?
This Harvard Crimson editorial argues that Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) should have greater influence in university governance. It criticizes the current lack of regular presidential attendance at FAS meetings, highlighting a growing divide between faculty and leadership. The editorial cites last year’s dispute over degrees for pro-Palestine protesters as an example of faculty decisions being overridden by the Harvard Corporation. It advocates for a faculty senate to provide academic voices in decision-making, particularly amid financial pressures, donor influence, and potential political challenges under a second Trump administration.

Fifteen Questions: David Sinclair on Age Reversal, Exercise, and Immortal Yeast Cells
David Sinclair, a Harvard genetics professor, discusses aging as a loss of cellular information, particularly epigenetic control, which he believes can be reversed. He attributes the rise of anti-aging research to scientific advancements, the pandemic's impact on mortality awareness, and increased public interest. Sinclair emphasizes the challenges of communicating longevity science without exaggeration and addresses controversies surrounding the field. He highlights breakthroughs in vision restoration and whole-body rejuvenation, envisions affordable age-reversal treatments, and advises young people to adopt healthy lifestyles, including intermittent fasting, exercise, and stress management, to slow aging from an early age.
