While mind-reading may seem like a distant reality, the foundations of mind reading are grounded in scientific research. The lab of Kenneth Norman, Huo Professor in Computational and Theoretical Neuroscience and Chair of the Department of Psychology, has developed and employed novel applications to detect and measure brain activity. These applications, in conjunction with artificial intelligence (AI), are then used to interpret thoughts. Norman emphasized the potential of his work for advances in brain-computer interfaces, diagnosing mental illness and neurological conditions, and education.

In the wake of a significant funding increase, Princeton’s Undergraduate Student Government (USG) discussed an expansion of the scope of the USG Projects Board in a meeting on Sunday, Oct. 8. The expansion was approved unanimously by the group, though it received questions from the sisters Isabella Shutt ’24 and Genevieve Shutt ’26 for not going far enough.

The calm before the storm. Six days before they are slated to fly to California to play seven games in nine days, the men’s water polo team (16–2 overall, 5–0 Northeast Water Polo Conference) headed to New York City to play Long Island University (3–11, 1–4) and Iona (7–9, 3–3) on Saturday, Oct. 7.

For the Wang family, fully celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival — meant to bring families together — in West Virginia is seemingly impossible when most of the family is a 12-hour flight away in China.

After a tough loss to Dartmouth and a draw with Yale, men's soccer (4–4–1 overall, 1–1–1 Ivy League) was able to pick up their first Ivy League win of the season against the Columbia Lions (2–6–2, 0–3–0 Ivy League) on a rainy Saturday at Myslik Field. The pressure and aggressiveness from the Tigers prevented Columbia from getting comfortable or establishing a sense of rhythm, opening up chances that the Tigers would capitalize on again and again.

The recent release of the final exam schedule has reminded many of us of the current academic calendar’s inconvenient organization. Similar to last year, the last scheduled day for final exams is Dec. 22, which lands a meager three days before Christmas and barely over a week before New Year’s.

After a nine-point first quarter for the Tigers, Princeton struggled to put together anything offensively for the remainder of the game, notably missing two kicks, and eventually lost, 12–9.

Most people don’t find themselves yearning to grow up in a small Kentucky town. And as someone who grew up there, I spent years wishing I was anywhere else. Wishing I lived in a city where the best hangout spot wasn’t a run-down mall with a movie theater, Dollar Store, Roses, and Shoe Show. Wishing my hometown was known for something more than being a crater in the Appalachian Mountains — yes, my hometown was actually built in a crater. Wishing I didn’t have to drive two hours to go anywhere remotely interesting.

Princeton’s Operations Research and Financial Engineering (ORFE) department has described itself as a one-of-a-kind program that combines data-driven science with principles that can be applied to a wide range of fields, including finance, communications, and transportation. It is a department that prides itself on the study of “optimal decision-making under uncertainty.” Yet a failure in a different optimization problem — the optimal number of students to accept in 2020 — created a series of bottlenecks in the department.

In 2021, Atlantic reporter Emma Green pressed President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 on whether Princeton should exist, noting that compared to The City University of New York, for example, Princeton spends an extraordinary amount of money on its relatively few students. Eisgruber noted that Princeton’s purpose was to educate future leaders, but in recent years, Princeton has also focused on creating programs that serve more than the campus community, specifically aimed at helping students achieve social mobility. In 2022, Princeton formed a research partnership with five historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) to facilitate inclusion in a variety of academic disciplines. Princeton has also recently started a program to help local community college students transition to four-year colleges, which Eisgruber recently touted while at the White House.

Beef is perhaps the most essential element of the American diet. We are carnivorous to a greater point than possibly any other country on earth. The carnal pleasure of sinking teeth into flesh has been painted as inexorably American in cowboy movies and fast food advertisements. Beef eating is so inextricably entwined with American cultural identity that not eating it may have been used as a justification to exclude people from the country. The extent of America’s addiction to beef is staggering. We use 654 million acres for grazing our 94.4 million cattle, an area larger than Alaska. This obsession comes at a staggering cost. Producing one kilogram of beef produces the equivalent of 100 kilograms of carbon dioxide, more than any other common food. Beef’s global warming potential is 7.2 times greater than chicken and 26 times that of lentils.
