Interviewing experts wasn’t enough
Sahil Chinoy, a former New York Times data journalist, pursued a Ph.D. in economics at Harvard to better understand complex sociopolitical systems using big data and econometric tools. His research explores how political identity intersects with economic behavior, including a landmark study showing ideological segregation in workplaces. Praised by mentors like Stefanie Stantcheva and Vincent Pons, Chinoy will soon begin a postdoc at Yale before joining Stanford’s political science department in 2026. He remains driven by the question of how economic forces shape — and are shaped by — political identity.

How Harvard and Allston slowly thawed a chilly relationship
Harvard’s relationship with Allston, once marked by distrust due to secretive land acquisitions in the 1990s, has gradually improved, culminating in a new 10-year development plan agreed upon in March 2025. Although community leaders remain cautious, many appreciate Harvard’s recent contributions, including affordable housing projects, the Enterprise Research Campus, and cultural investments like the American Repertory Theater. While the latest plan lacks bolder public commitments, task force members acknowledge progress in transparency, collaboration, and shared benefits—especially as Harvard now faces mounting political pressure from the Trump administration.

Flyby Investigates: Henrys at Harvard
Harvard’s campus is unexpectedly full of students named Henry—at least 26, making it the 23rd most common name in the College. In a lighthearted Flyby feature, several Henrys reflect on the family traditions, royal associations, and quirky camaraderie tied to their name. Many embrace it proudly, with one even joking about starting a Henry Club. While no one knows exactly why so many Henrys were admitted, the article celebrates their shared identity and charm—with just a gentle warning not to overdo it by Class of 2029.
Henry Xuan ’25: I actually texted my mom about this a while ago… She said I was named after the king Henry… And I think her point was, she wanted to name me after people who are known for, like, their strong leadership ability, like, had a lot of vision, had the ability to navigate through difficult times.
Henry Xuan ’25: I'd say Henry Wu ’25. He, like, performed at the first-year talent show. And I think people, like, confused us sometimes. And then some people were like, ‘Yo, you killed it at the talent show,’ and I'd be like, ‘Huh?’
飞越调查：哈佛大学的亨利
哈佛校园里出人意料地挤满了姓亨利的学生——至少有26人，成为全校第23大常见姓氏。在一篇轻松愉快的“飞越”专题文章中，几位“亨利”回顾了他们的家族传统、与皇家的联系以及与他们姓氏的奇怪情谊。人都相关这这个名字很荣幸，其中有人开玩笑说要成立一个“亨利俱乐部”，虽然没有人无意知道为什么那么多“亨利”被录取，但这篇文章赞扬了他们共同的身份和魅力——只是温和地提醒大家，到2029年一定不要过度使用这个名字。
Henry Xuan'25：事实上，不久前我给我妈妈发了短信谈到了这件事……她说我以亨利国王的命名的名字的……我认为她想用那些具有强大的领导能力而著名的人的名字来给我命名，比如，他们有远见，有能力度过困难时期。
Henry Xuan（25届）：我会说是Henry Wu ’25。他在一年级的才艺表演上表演过。我觉得有时候大家会把我们混搞。然后有人会说，‘哟，你在才艺表演上表现得太棒了’，我会说，‘？’？

Where Words Are Welcome
Harvard student Olivia Lunseth reflects on how her Expos Studio 20 course created a rare, open environment for free expression, encouraging respectful debate and personal growth. Through candid discussions and diverse perspectives, the class reshaped her understanding of success and intellectual engagement. Amid national debates over speech and Harvard’s legal battle with the Trump administration, she warns that fear and silence are creeping into academia. Lunseth argues that true academic freedom must be intentionally cultivated and actively defended—by students, educators, and institutions committed to dialogue over division.
欢迎言语

The Economist: Harvard has more problems than Donald Trump. He is just making them harder to fix
A May 8th Economist piece argues that while Harvard faces serious problems with antisemitism, Donald Trump’s punitive campaign against the university is making reform harder, not easier. Harvard’s own 311-page task force report reveals a campus culture where antisemitism is often masked as anti-Zionist activism and Jewish students face social exclusion. But instead of constructively addressing this, Trump’s administration—under Secretary of Education Linda McMahon—has weaponized funding threats and issued politically charged rebukes. The article warns that this partisan assault could backfire, hinder real progress, and unfairly turn Jews into political scapegoats. It concludes that Harvard’s own introspection offers more hope than Trump’s inflammatory tactics.
《经济学人》：哈佛的问题比唐纳德·特朗普还多。他只会让这些问题更难解决
《经济学人》5月8日的一篇文章指出，哈佛大学面临严重的反犹太主义问题，而唐纳德·特朗普对学校的惩罚性运动使改革变得更加困难，这更容易。哈佛大学长达311页的特别工作组报告揭示了这样的校园文化：反主义经常被伪装成反犹太主义活动，犹太学生教育面向社会大众。 ·麦克马洪的领导下，特朗普政府非但没有建设性地解决这个问题，而是将资金威胁武器，并发表带有令人紧张的政治意义。警告说，党派攻击可能适得其反，阻碍真正的进步，文章并把犹太人不公平地变成政治替罪羊。结论是，哈佛大学的自我反省比特朗普的攻击性策略更能带来希望。
NYTimes: Harvard Leaders See Only Bad Outcomes Ahead as They Battle Trump
As Harvard battles the Trump administration in court over the suspension of federal research funding, university leaders face the grim realization that no outcome will leave the school unscathed. Even if victorious, the ongoing conflict could lead to lasting damage, including research cuts, workforce reductions, and a fundamental shift in Harvard’s identity. The Harvard Corporation has refused to negotiate, fearing reputational harm, but some officials quietly question whether a deal would reduce long-term harm. With investigations mounting and Trump’s team vowing to inflict maximum pressure, Harvard’s future as a leading research institution is at risk.
《纽约时报》：哈佛大学领导层认为与特朗普的斗争只会带来糟糕的结果
哈佛大学就暂停联邦研究坚持一件事与特朗普政府对簿公堂，校方领导层不得不面临一个严重的现实：任何结果都不可能最终让学校彻底崩溃。即使胜诉，持续的冲突也可能造成持久的损害，包括中断研究、裁决以及哈佛大学形象的根本性转变。哈佛集团因担心作出回应而拒绝谈判，但官员们私下提出质疑，提出是否能减轻长期损害。随着调查的不断深入，以及特朗普团队誓言要施加最大压力，哈佛大学作为领先研究机构的未来假设是可评估的。
Opinion in NYTimes: Today Harvard Is the Target. Tomorrow It Could Be Your Church.
A conservative lawyer and historian warns that Trump’s threats to revoke Harvard’s and Wikipedia’s tax-exempt status over ideological disagreements set a dangerous precedent that could later be used against churches, synagogues, and faith-based groups. While some on the right cheer these moves as justified retaliation against liberal institutions, the author argues that weaponizing tax policy undermines core conservative principles of limited government and moral restraint. Citing Reagan and current GOP moderates, the piece urges conservatives to resist short-term political gains and instead defend constitutional norms to preserve liberty and democracy for all.
《纽约时报》观点：今天哈佛是目标，明天可能是你的教堂。
一位保守派律师历史兼学家警告称，特朗普因封锁和威胁取消哈佛大学和维基百科的武力地位，建立了危险的先例，日后可能被用于圣母教堂、和宗教团体。一些右翼人士为这些行动欢呼雀雀认为是自由作者主义机构的正当正义，但认为，将武器政策化将破坏保护派的核心原则，即有限和约束道德。继承里根和象征性的保卫派观点，推进保卫派斗争近期政治利益，维护格局规范，维护黑人的自由和民主。
MSN: Linda McMahon just picked a fight with Harvard she likely can’t win
In a controversial letter posted publicly, Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced the Trump administration would block Harvard from receiving federal grants, citing alleged race-based admissions and refusal to adopt “merit-based” reforms. Critics argue this move is unconstitutional, retaliatory, and mirrors prior legal overreach struck down in court. Harvard, already suing the administration, is expected to expand its legal challenge, asserting that the directive violates First Amendment protections and undermines national research priorities by replacing scientific merit with political loyalty. The broader concern: this sets a dangerous precedent of partisan interference in academic freedom and public health research.
MSN：琳达·麦克马洪刚刚向哈佛发起了一场她可能无法发起的斗争
在一份公开发表的帕具争议的信中，教育部长琳达·麦克马洪宣布，特朗普政府将阻止哈佛大学获得联邦拨款，理由是该校承认涉嫌种族歧视，并拒绝实行“择优入学”改革。批评人士，认为违宪、复仇具有性，并在法庭上反驳之越前法哈佛大学已经起诉了特朗普政府，预计将扩大诉讼范围，声称该指令违反了《第一修正案》的保护条款，并以忠诚政治取代科学，破坏了国家研究重点。更广泛的担忧是：其他党派干涉了自由学术和公共卫生研究的危险先例。
Coffee may improve gut health
A Harvard-led study by Professor Mingyang Song found that moderate to heavy coffee drinkers have higher levels of certain beneficial gut bacteria, suggesting coffee may support a healthy microbiome. While research is ongoing—including studies on coffee’s link to colon cancer risk—Song noted there’s strong evidence that moderate coffee consumption offers health benefits. However, he cautioned that drinking more than 3–4 cups per day could lead to side effects like high blood pressure and sleep issues.
咖啡可能改善肠道健康
哈佛大学宋明阳教授主导的一项研究发现，中度至重度咖啡睡眠者某些对损伤修复的水平相当，表明咖啡可能有助于维持健康的损伤菌群。尽管相关研究即将进行（包括关于咖啡与高原风险之间关系的研究），但宋教授指出，有证据表明，怀孕后喝咖啡有益于健康。然而，他警告称，每天超过3-4杯咖啡可能会导致妊娠和睡眠问题等后果。
