| Trending News | These are the trending topics in the news and on social media that we’re keeping our eyes on this week. If you have a viewpoint or expertise on any of the topics below and you’re willing to talk to reporters about them, email us at media@northwestern.edu. | We're looking for experts on the following topics | To enter the U.S., foreign nationals must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, though exceptions will be made for children under 18 and people who are medically unable to be vaccinated. Travelers over the age of 2 must also show a negative COVID-19 test taken within the past three days. Travel restrictions had barred non-U.S. citizens traveling from 33 countries — including China, India and much of Europe. | A federal appeals court on Saturday temporarily halted the Biden administration's vaccine requirement for businesses with 100 or more workers. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted an emergency stay of the requirement by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration that those workers be vaccinated by Jan. 4 or face mask requirements and weekly tests. | The $1 trillion infrastructure plan that now goes to President Joe Biden to sign into law has money for roads, bridges, ports, rail transit, safe water, the power grid, broadband internet and more.

| NU Voices | Read perspectives from Northwestern faculty in national media. |  From Ian Kelly, The Atlantic "By failing to offer realistic alternatives, the U.S. and Europe have left another region to the tender mercies of a predatory power," Kelly writes in The Atlantic. |  From Renee Engeln, Chicago Tribune "Thanks to COVID-19, many women spent over a year eschewing suffocating Spanx and toe-pinching heels. Of course, what women wear is not simply about fashion trends. It’s also about how cultural expectations around apparel reinforce the notion that for women, beauty is pain. Now may be the perfect time to reconsider these expectations," Engeln writes with Anne Zola in the Chicago Tribune. |  From Natasha Trethewey, Chicago Tribune "Arts education, properly supported and available to all, can play a vital role in our recovery, and help usher in a new day in America, especially for children in our hardest-hit communities," Tretheway writes with John Lithgow and Deborah Rutter in the Chicago Tribune. |  From Laura Neilsen, Chicago Tribune "The bro-culture we see so often in sports, fraternities and other male-dominated spaces can hide and sometimes even encourage sexual assault. We’ve studied this kind of assault — and know how to help our boys and young men see the signs before they (or their friends) become victims," Neilsen writes in the Chicago Tribune. |  From Steven Lubet, The Hill "It would be wrong to claim that all opposition to Israel is anti-Semitic, but it would be dangerous to believe that none of it is," Lubet writes in The Hill. |  From Andrew Koppelman, The Hill "If you’re not a physician, don’t rely on your own medical research. Sounds simple, no? But certain people sometimes must rely on their own guesses: federal judges," Koppelman writes in The Hill. |
| Announcements | The Office of Global Marketing and Communications offers media training sessions for faculty via Zoom. |  Taking time out of a busy day to talk to a reporter can feel like just another (sometimes daunting) task on an already long to-do list. But an interview with the media can be one of the most effective ways to promote new research or spread the word about new art exhibitions.
Faculty guest speaker Mei-Ling Hopgood and panelists Geraldo Cadava, Aymar Jean Christian and Leslie Harris discussed best practices last week in our fall media training session, “Why you should answer that journalist’s call: How the media can amplify your work.”
