We’ve come to the end of another sunny week, Huskies! In Boston, a students with the nonprofit Boston Explorers lived up to their name, exploring campus and the immersive VR technology in the Immersive Media Lab Holmes Hall. Meanwhile, researchers studied the regenerative properties of (adorable) axolotls. And communities across Boston — and Mayor Wu — came together to participate in the the Boston Unity Cup, where 42 men’s and women’s teams representing 36 nations kicked off a multi-week soccer tournament.
