Saying that there have been more mass shootings than days so far in 2023 “is truly scaring the people” because that relies on just one definition of a mass shooting — four or more people shot, including injuries — and that definition is too wide, said James Alan Fox, a Northeastern University criminologist.

The winning team, of students from Northeastern’s Students for the Exploration and Development of Space club, took home the top prize in November and now hope to turn their winning design into an advanced prototype that could actually be sent to the moon.

Furthermore, key information about a proposed new payment plan is missing, says David Lazer, a political scientist at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. 

In one recent effort, Katie Lotterhos, an evolutionary marine biologist at Northeastern University, built a computer model to study the first tentative steps taken on the path from inversion to supergene.

“The impact is potentially devastating,” says David Lazer, a computational social scientist at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts.

“This would be an injunction that really changes the status quo,” said Wendy Parmet, director of Northeastern University’s Center for Health Policy and Law. “It’s a pretty momentous thing to take the medication off the market that had been on the market for 20 years.”

But even then, by tracing a search back to an IP address, log-in activity, or browser history— known as browser fingerprinting — Google can likely tie the search back to the user, says David Choffnes, associate professor of computer science at Northeastern University and executive director of the school’s Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute.
