Joining together with 75,000 other people, 60 Princetonians took the train up to New York City to tear our throats chanting, brandish hand-made signs, and connect with people who are just as terrified of the climate crisis as we are. As the largest national mass mobilization on climate change since 2019, organizers hosted the March to End Fossil Fuels to call on President Biden to fight harder against a fossil fuel industry that actively sabotages our chances for a liveable future.

This week, the ‘Prince’ examined who runs Princeton, searching for the power players on campus. But today, Daybreak looks to answer a slightly different question: “Who’s really running Princeton?” We look at the day-to-day of facilities and dining hall workers, how facilities is structured, and whether or not their compensation reflects their impact on the campus community. Listen in.

Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond interviewed three STEM TAs: Chemical and Biological Engineering (CBE) PhD candidate Jessica Jin, COS Master's Student Rish Raghu, and Math Undergraduate Ben Zenker '24. They explain the demands of their job and how they balance the research and studies on top of it all. Listen in.
