Harvard Management Company Bets on Big Tech at End of 2024
Harvard Management Company increased its Big Tech investments at the end of 2024, adding positions in Apple, Amazon, Tesla, and Microsoft while deepening its stake in Meta, which now makes up 45% of its public equities portfolio. Meanwhile, it reduced holdings in Alphabet, Booking Holdings, and AMD. The shift aligns with trends in tech spending under the Trump administration. HMC also exited high-growth firms like Snowflake and Q32 Bio, favoring more established companies. However, experts caution that these disclosures exclude private equity and alternative investments.
哈佛管理公司押注2024年底大型科技公司
哈佛管理公司在2024年底增加了对大型科技公司的投资，增持了苹果、亚马逊、特斯拉和微软的股份，同时增加了对Meta的持股，目前Meta占其公开股票投资组合的45%。同时，该公司减少了对Alphabet、 B的持股展望持股这一转变与政府特朗普在科技领域的趋势至少一致。HMC还退出了Snowflake和Q32生物等高增长公司，转而更受到成熟公司的青睐。然而，专家警告称，这些披露不包括私募股权和其他类别的投资。
Department of Education Takes Aim at All Race-Conscious Higher Ed Practices
The Department of Education issued a letter warning federally funded institutions, including Harvard, to cease all race-based decision-making in admissions, financial aid, scholarships, and campus life, citing the Supreme Court’s SFFA v. Harvard ruling. The letter also warned against using race-neutral policies that indirectly consider race. Institutions must comply by Feb. 28 or risk losing federal funding. Experts debate the scope and enforcement of these guidelines, with some viewing them as a precursor to legal action. Harvard declined to comment on the directive.
教育部瞄准所有有种族意识的高等教育实践
教育部发布了一封信，警告包括哈佛大学承认联邦资助机构停止在入学、经济援助、援助和住院生活方面做出的所有基于种族的决策，并引用了一系列针对SFFA诉诸哈佛大学的裁决。这封信还警告不要在2月28日使用联邦资助机构必须遵守的规定，否则将面临联邦的风险。专家们对这些指导方针的范围和执行情况存在争议，认为一些人正在采取法律行动的先兆。哈佛大学拒绝该指令评论发表。
Harvard Researchers Develop New Technology to Map Neural Connections
By Xinni (Sunshine) Chen and Danielle J. Im
Harvard researchers developed a silicon chip that mapped 70,000 synaptic connections from 2,000 rat neurons, significantly advancing neural imaging. Published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the study improves on prior methods by providing high-resolution mapping of brain connectivity. Unlike traditional electron microscopy or patch-clamp techniques, this technology records multiple neurons simultaneously and measures connection strengths. Researchers believe the innovation could advance neuroscience and artificial intelligence by offering insights into neural networks. While a breakthrough, scientists emphasize it’s only a small step toward understanding the brain’s vast complexity.

作者 Xinni (Sunshine) Chen 和 Danielle J. Im
哈佛大学的研究人员开发了一种芯片，可以承载相当于2,000个神经元的70,000个这项研究发表在《自然生物医学工程》杂志上，通过提供高分辨率的大脑连接映射，改进了的方法。与传统的电子工作站或膜片钳技术术不同，这项技术只是可以同时记录了解多个神经元并测量强度。研究人员认为这项创新连接可以通过提供神经网络的洞察来推动神经科学和人工智能的发展。虽然这是一个突破，但科学家强调，这本质上是复杂性的一步。
Columns： Can a Woke Harvard Still Be the Ivory Tower?
By Harvey C. Mansfield。 Harvey C. Mansfield ’53 is the Kenan Research Professor of Government at Harvard.
Harvey Mansfield critiques Harvard’s shift from the "Ivory Tower" model of academia to a more socially engaged, "woke" institution. He argues that this change reflects a broader Democratic effort to reshape societal norms, challenging traditional distinctions such as gender and education. Mansfield contends that universities now reject common sense and normality, replacing them with fluid, constructed identities. He ties this ideological shift to political divides, portraying Trump as a defender of traditional norms against academia’s progressive agenda. Ultimately, he suggests Harvard’s politicization undermines its independence and authority.
专栏：觉醒的哈佛还能是象牙塔吗？
作者： 哈维·C·曼斯菲尔德。哈维·C·曼斯菲尔德（53届）是哈佛大学凯南政府研究教授。
哈维·曼斯菲尔德批评哈佛大学从“象牙塔”学术模式转变为促进社会参与度的“觉醒”机构。他认为，这一变化反映了哈佛大学为加深社会规范、挑战性别和教育等传统区别而做出的更广泛的努力。曼斯菲尔德认为，大学现在在拒绝的是常识和习惯，取而代之流动的、构建的身份。他将这种思想的转变与政治封闭联系起来，将特朗普绘画成为传统规范的守护者，反对学术界的进步。最终，他认为哈佛的政治化破坏了独立性和权威性。
Editorials: It’s Our Turn To Save Harvard’s Speech Culture
The Crimson Editorial Board urges students to take responsibility for improving Harvard’s speech culture, citing new survey data showing a decline in comfort with discussing controversial topics, especially among conservatives. While Harvard has implemented policies to foster open discourse, the editorial argues that social pressures—fear of peer criticism and ostracization—are the main cause of self-censorship. To combat this, students must embrace discomfort, engage respectfully with opposing views, and resist the urge to shame dissenters. The piece calls for intellectual humility and open dialogue as the path forward.
社论：现在轮到我们来拯救哈佛的言论文化了
《深红》编辑委员会敦促学生开始改善哈佛言论文化的责任，并引用了新的调查数据，该数据显示，讨论有争议的话题的程度正在下降，尤其是在保守派中。虽然哈佛实施了促进开放对话的政策，但该社论认为，社会压力——对同龄人批评和过度的恐惧——是自我审查的一个因素。为了克服这一点，学生必须接受非、尊重反对意见，抵制羞辱异见者的消息。这篇文章呼吁以知识谦逊和开放对话作为前进的道路。

‘Land of Mirrors’ Review: The Succulent Beauty of Color
Land of Mirrors by María Medem is a striking example of magical realism in graphic novel form. The work captivates with its vibrant artwork, where color, light, and composition take center stage. The story explores themes of isolation, companionship, and identity through the journey of Antonia and her bond with a mysterious flower. Medem's use of imitation as a metaphor for understanding and connection is enhanced by her innovative square panels and dynamic illustrations. While some plot details remain ambiguous, the book's visual beauty and thematic depth make it a compelling read for those drawn to unique illustration styles and poetic storytelling.
《镜之国》评论：色彩的丰盈之美
玛丽亚·梅德姆 (María Medem）的《镜之国》（大地的镜子）是图画小说形式中魔幻现实主义的一个典型例子。该作品辅导更新了艺术作品并引入了人胜，色彩、光线和结构图探讨了中心位置。故事通过安东尼娅的旅程和她与一朵神秘的联系，探讨了隔离、轮回设想和身份等梅德姆使用原型作为理解和联系的隐喻，她的创新模板面板和动态插图增强了这种隐喻。虽然情节细节仍然是模棱两可，但本书的视觉美感和主题深度却成为那些独特的插画风格和诗意故事所吸引人们的月亮必读物。
Flyby Ranks: Super Bowl Ads
Charlotte F. Harris reviews the best and worst Super Bowl LIX commercials, highlighting standout moments and bizarre misfires. She praises Mountain Dew’s Seal-themed parody, Instacart’s chaotic character mashup, and Heinz Mustard’s straightforward branding. However, she criticizes Coffee Mate’s unsettling visuals, Tubi’s confusing execution, and Doritos’ nonsensical storylines. Glen Powell’s action-packed Ram ad earns “Best Celebrity Appearance,” while Martha Stewart’s Skechers commercial wins “Best Song and Dance.” The most confusing ad? Little Caesars’ eyebrow-obsessed Crazy Puffs. Harris humorously concludes that the best ads strike a balance between innovation and clarity—unlike some Harvard coursework.
Flyby排名：超级碗广告
夏洛特·F·哈里斯（夏洛特·F·哈里斯）评选了最佳和最差的超级碗LIX广告，突出了突出的时刻和奇怪的相对。她赞扬了山露以海豹为主题的恶搞、Instacart混乱的角色混搭和亨氏芥末酱直截了当的品牌宣传。然而，她称赞了CoffeeMate令人不安的视觉效果、Tubi视觉效果和多力多滋带来惊人效果的精彩故事情节。格伦·鲍威尔（格伦·鲍威尔）动感猛的拉姆广告获得“最佳名人明星奖”，而玛莎·斯图尔特（玛莎·斯图尔特）的斯凯奇广告则获得“最佳歌曲和舞蹈奖”。最引人注目的广告？小凯撒痴迷的疯狂哈里斯幽默地总结道，最好的广告在创新和学习之间取得了平衡而不是哈佛的一些课程。
