| In the Spotlight | Read in-depth coverage of Northwestern work and research. |  From The New York Times The New York Times reports that sleeping separately can boost couples’ intimacy and sex lives, though the driving factor is typically achieving better rest. Feinberg’s Dr. Phyllis Zee shares alternative adjustments to help couples rest better, including using earplugs, white noise or separate mattresses and blankets. |  From Chicago Tribune Chicago teens organize downtown meetups that sometimes turn chaotic, raising concerns about safety, business impact and curfew enforcement. School of Education and Social Policy’s Emma Adams explains that adolescent group behavior often stems from a desire for social belonging and thrill-seeking, even when it defies societal norms. She emphasizes that such behavior is driven by the need for peer respect and recognition. |  From The Washington Post American citizens have been wrongfully detained and deported amid President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown.

| NU Voices | Read perspectives from Northwestern faculty in national media. |  From Kenneth Seeskin, Chicago Tribune “Freedom does not come easily. It may require hardship, courage and vision to achieve. The same goes for human decency. Passover, then, is both a celebration and a challenge. It is a celebration of the values by which civilized people are supposed to live. At the same time, it is a recognition that those values cannot be handed down on a silver platter,” Weinberg professor emeritus Kenneth Seeskin writes in the Chicago Tribune. |  From Nancy Qian, Gulf Times “Republican President Donald Trump and his Democratic predecessor Joe Biden may not agree on much, but there is one issue on which they have been united: The need to blunt a powerful weapon that federal judges have been deploying at a quickly rising clip,” Kellogg’s Nancy Qian writes in Gulf Times. |
