| In the Spotlight | Read in-depth coverage of Northwestern work and research. |  From The New York Times Weinberg’s Yarrow Axford, a study co-author, tells The New York Times that peripheral glaciers can be an “early warning system” for the rest of Greenland’s snow and ice. A new study finds that glaciers in southern Greenland have, on average, shortened by 18% since 2000, while glaciers in other parts of the island have experienced a reduction in length ranging from 5% to 10%. |  From CNN The recently approved postpartum depression medication, Zurzuvae, is set to cost $15,900 for a 14-day course, prompting concerns about affordability for patients. Feinberg’s Lindsay Allen tells CNN ensuring access to such treatments is imperative, as they may be lifesaving for new mothers during a vulnerable time. |  From WBEZ A Gallup poll found that 28% of people 18 to 34 years old fear that technology like artificial intelligence will replace them. Kellogg’s Bryan Seegmiller co-authored a study revealing the necessity of developing new skills as technology displaces many current tasks. Seegmiller tells WBEZ that younger workers often feel more threatened by AI compared to older workers because they tend to take jobs that involve more technology and data. |
| NU Voices | Read perspectives from Northwestern faculty in national media. |  From Storer H. Rowley, Chicago Tribune “Even as America seeks to support allies embroiled in wars in Europe and the Middle East, the U.S. and other democratic nations must advance stronger policies, laws and litigation of their own to defend international standards for freedom of speech against growing threats to journalists and laws that criminalize expression,” Medill’s Storer H. Rowley writes in the Chicago Tribune. |
