In New England, a collective mindset shift occurs the instant the weather forecast predicts temperatures above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. We ditch our heavy winter coats for light sweaters and sweatshirts, and those of us who can’t wait any longer for spring to arrive pull out our shorts and flip-flops. 50 degrees is objectively not warm enough for any of these behaviors, but after months of trekking through snow squalls and wearing as much clothing as humanly possible, we New Englanders will take what we can get. The day this shift occurs, Dartmouth’s campus transforms. The Green is no longer merely empty space that we traverse on our way from one class to another; it comes alive as students picnic with friends, play spikeball and pretend to study while soaking up the sun.

During my shifts at the reception desk for Dartmouth’s admissions and financial aid offices, manyof campus visitors ask me for recommendations on places to tour around campus. The Hopkins Center for the Arts comes to my mind first, with its glamorous glass view overlooking the campus from the second floor; then, the Hood Museum, with its unique, seasonal exhibitions; and thirdly, the library, which offers a view of Dartmouth’s busy-bee students. This experience has made me think about how inherently visual we are as humans, and it’s particularly interesting for me to observe this pattern as someone studying cognitive science. How much do we pay attention to the sounds of Hanover?

I once was advised to take out my earbuds when I go from place to place to observe the world and conversations around me to help stimulate my writing process. I always knew that was useful advice, but I like listening to podcasts as I walk, so I assumed that whatever benefit of being observant was minor enough that it didn’t warrant me changing my routine.

Dartmouth has moved quickly to respond to increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence. The College has issued guidance on the use of generative AI in coursework, created faculty teaching resources and made approved AI tools available to students, faculty and staff. That deserves credit. But when it comes to actual coursework, Dartmouth has largely left faculty to determine for their own classes the rules of what students can use, when and how. The College’s current guidance states that “the instructor’s GenAI policy defines the expectations” for a course.

I have a folder in my inbox that I have never once opened voluntarily. It is labeled, automatically, “Palaeopitus,” and it fills at a pace that suggests an organization with things to say. Over the last year, those things have included: a survey about an e-scooter policy with free Cold Stone as compensation for completion; a survey about Dick’s House with free Lou’s; a survey about Commencement concerns for international students with a five-dollar gift card as a participation incentive; a lunch with an author; two reminders about a leadership conference; and a dinner discussion about gender-based violence and sexual health which was, notably, free. The emails are well-formatted. They arrive with the cadence of institutional confidence. And yet, reading through them, I find myself with a question I cannot shake: What, exactly, is Palaeopitus doing?

Leo Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina” begins with a famous maxim: “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” The dramatic events of each unhappy family often turn into great stories. In “Lázár,” Swiss author Nelio Biedermann builds a novel out of that sense of unhappiness. Biedermann, who grew up middle-class in Zurich, descends from a lineage of Hungarian aristocrats who lost everything when Hungary became a communist regime. He draws on his family’s true stories as inspiration for “Lázár,” which was published in the United States earlier this month.

The majority of director Antoine Fuqua’s biopic of Michael Jackson, “Michael,” is built from a small set of scenes repeated and slightly reworked to fill out the runtime. Jackson endures abuse or manipulation from his father. Jackson has a conversation in which someone tells him how special or talented he is. Jackson exhibits childlike innocence and/or wonder. Jackson comforts sick children. Jackson has an epiphany that leads to his next great hit. Jackson performs that hit. After the first 20 minutes or so, this cycle essentially becomes the rest of the film. The structure begins to feel almost musical in its looping, rhythmic repetition, cycling through familiar beats with only minor variation. Is it a passable diversion? Sure. Does it justify telling this story as a narrative feature film? Not even a little bit.

On April 13, Netflix released a documentary titled, “Noah Kahan: Out of Body.” Directed by Nick Sweeney, the film traces Kahan’s rapid rise as a singer-songwriter from posting songs on TikTok to playing two sold-out shows at Fenway Park in 2024 as part of his “Stick Season: We’ll All Be Here Forever” tour. The documentary, which takes place over one-and-a-half years, is both a celebration of success and an honest portrait of an artist struggling to find his place.
