Every afternoon, half a million traders, financiers, and techies eagerly await an email from @matt_levine ’00. “Money Stuff,” where Levine explains financial news in clear prose, reads like a bar conversation mixed with a high school lecture.

About 40,000 people die per year on American roads. But it doesn’t have to be that way. @Harvard affiliates are reimagining roads, cars, laws, and cities, trying to pave the way to a safer future. From @MaxKrupnick:

In the last four years, the top echelon of college sports has started to resemble professional sports. Student-athletes can make life-changing money and switch schools at will. Will Harvard continue to resist the pressures of this new athletic era?

Is #Harvard antisemitic? A pair of reports from @HarvardJews and @EdWorkforceCmte examined Harvard's curriculum, guest lectures, and protests. Despite the disturbing stories, hope remains for healing. Read my latest in @HarvardMagazine https://t.co/efLWlTe8aK

This morning, there were only four protesters visible at Harvard’s pro-Palestine encampment, but 50 tents remained. How will the administration deal with this dwindling protest? My latest for @HarvardMagazine: https://t.co/2s7O8LgGs7
Friday morning, Harvard suspended students in the pro-Palestine encampment on Harvard Yard. Harvard told students they could avoid suspension by ending the encampment. Protesters refused and gave Harvard four investment-related demands, which it declined. https://t.co/cPHW8ymDw8
This afternoon, Harvard administrators again collected student ID information from protestors in the pro-Palestine encampment. During and after the check, protestors chanted, briefly including two controversial slogans: “long live the intifada” and “from the river to the sea.”
There were plenty of new signs today at the #Harvard pro-Palestine encampment. One small sign reads "From Oakland To Gaza Intifada Intifada!" A protester I spoke with was not sure whether chants or signs calling for intifada were endorsed or sanctioned by protest organizers.
