Chris Qian

As the global economy becomes increasingly dependent on digital technologies, a fault line has formed between those with digital access and those without, a phenomenon commonly referred to as “the digital divide.” Bridging the divide requires us to dig into the root of the problem: education.

Noah Hofman

In 2022, over 1,000 cyclists were killed in motor vehicle crashes—tragedies that are largely preventable with stronger legal protections.
