| In the Spotlight | Read in-depth coverage of Northwestern work and research. |  From WTTW Tania León — winner of the 2021 Pulitzer Prize in Music and the 2023 Nemmers Prize in Music Composition — will spend the next two years hosting workshops and coaching sessions for students in the Bienen School of Music. León tells WTTW that thinking beyond labels and boundaries is what she wants students to take away from her courses. León’s pieces carry both her Caribbean influences and the sounds of her travels. |  From Gizmodo Researchers developed the world’s first artificial intelligence-assisted, fully automatic supernova detection, identification and classification system, dubbed Bright Transient Survey Bot (BTSbot). Weinberg’s Adam Miller tells Gizmodo that BTSbot provides more time for the research team to analyze their observations and develop new hypotheses to explain the origin of cosmic explosions. |  From The Guardian As a new generation of counselors fuses psychotherapy and psychic treatments, mainstream psychologists express concern that clients are being exploited when there are no clear boundaries between the two. Feinberg’s Dr. Brandon S. Hamm questions the financial motives of therapists who offer medium services, comparing them to doctors who partner with pharmaceutical companies and don’t disclose potential financial conflicts of interest when prescribing drugs. |
| NU Voices | Read perspectives from Northwestern faculty in national media. |  From Danielle Gilbert, Good Authority “It is unclear what the logistical uncertainty and fog of grief surrounding the current crisis means for the war. The large-scale hostage takings could stoke a dynamic that feeds escalation risk. Or perhaps the hostages will induce caution that pushes in the opposite direction. Like so much else in this horrific war, the human cost will be acute,” Weinberg’s Danielle Gilbert writes in Good Authority. |  From Steven Lubet, The Hill “While [former Indiana Gov. Mitch] Daniels is correct that colleges and universities are facing ‘rising skepticism’ — much of it thanks to political attacks from his fellow Republicans — he is wrong to believe that it can be addressed by dismissing the most experienced teachers and researchers,” Northwestern Law’s Steven Lubet writes in The Hill. |
