President Trump abruptly reversed his approach to a potential Harvard settlement, shifting from a possible $200 million payment to demanding $1 billion in damages and threatening a criminal investigation, as talks remained uncertain amid partisan scrutiny and concerns about the administration's consistency in high-stakes negotiations.
President Trump said he will seek $1 billion in damages from Harvard in a long-running funding feud tied to his administration’s efforts against what it calls woke campus ideology. The move follows reports that the administration backed off a $200 million demand, and comes after a federal court partially overturned the previous $2 billion funding cuts Harvard challenged in court, with the White House vowing to continue challenging the ruling; other Ivies have struck deals to preserve funding rather than fight in court.
Trump escalates a dispute with Harvard by demanding a $1 billion payment, signaling a high-stakes legal-political confrontation as the standoff deepens.
President Trump says his administration is seeking $1 billion in damages from Harvard in a long-running federal-funding dispute tied to antisemitism concerns and ongoing settlement talks, a move following reports that Harvard won concessions and after earlier discussions of a smaller payout; a federal judge previously ruled the funding freeze violated Harvard’s First Amendment rights.
Harvard neurologist Rudolph Tanzi outlines a six-item daily plan for maintaining brain health and slowing aging, including prioritizing sleep to clear toxins, managing stress, staying socially connected, learning new things to form neural connections, quieting internal chatter to boost creativity, and following a microbiome-friendly diet.
Chinese universities surge to the top of a global ranking of research output, pushing Harvard from the lead to No. 3 and signaling a broader shift as American institutions fall behind the rising productivity of Chinese schools.
Two men were arrested in connection with an intentional explosion at Harvard's medical building in Boston, which occurred early Saturday morning; no injuries were reported, and authorities are investigating the incident further.
FlyBase, a crucial online database supporting biomedical research using fruit flies, faces potential shutdown due to funding cuts from the Trump administration, threatening global research efforts and future scientific discoveries.
Scientists at Harvard have developed a novel method to capture CO2 using sunlight and specially designed organic molecules called photobases, offering a potentially energy-efficient and reusable approach to mitigate climate change by actively removing atmospheric CO2.
The U.S. government, citing concerns over Harvard University's compliance with federal laws, national security risks, and foreign entanglements, has announced restrictions on foreign students attending Harvard on student or exchange visas, citing inadequate reporting of misconduct and security threats, and has suspended entry for new students from Harvard under certain visa categories for six months.
The US State Department has ordered all US embassies and consulates to implement additional vetting procedures, including social media screening, for anyone seeking a visa to travel to Harvard University, as part of an effort to scrutinize applicants' online presence and ensure compliance with US immigration laws amid tensions related to campus issues.
The US Department of Homeland Security announced plans to revoke visas of Chinese students, including over 1,200 at Harvard, citing concerns over connections to the Chinese Communist Party and critical fields of study, amid escalating tensions and anti-China rhetoric from the US government.
A new study from Harvard University, published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, reveals that a mobile app designed to disrupt negative thought cycles can significantly reduce depression symptoms. The app, developed by Professor Moshe Bar and colleagues, uses interactive mini-games to break ruminative thinking, a major contributor to depression. In a large-scale trial, participants using the app showed faster and more substantial mood improvements compared to a control group, with benefits lasting beyond the study period. This gamified approach offers a novel, accessible supplement to traditional mental health treatments.
Experts warn that Donald Trump's return to the White House could accelerate the decline of democracy in the U.S., with some voters mistakenly viewing him as a savior of democratic values.
New research from Harvard University suggests that Mars' magnetic field may have lasted 200 million years longer than previously thought, potentially overlapping with the presence of liquid water on the planet's surface. This extended duration could have provided a protective environment conducive to the development of life. The study proposes that magnetic-pole reversals, rather than a complete shutdown of the magnetic dynamo, explain the lack of magnetic evidence in Martian impact basins. These findings could alter our understanding of Mars' atmospheric and water loss timelines.
