One thing that has changed since then is Markey’s age, Costas Panagopoulos, professor of political science at Northeastern University in Boston, told Newsweek.

The survey of nearly 32,000 people found “overwhelming public opposition” — upwards of 60 percent of respondents nationwide — to funding cuts affecting research and education, according to the study by researchers at Northeastern, Harvard, and Rutgers universities and the University of Rochester.

David Lazer, another study researcher and a Northeastern political science and computer sciences professor, highlighted that while half the survey population disapproved of Trump’s threats to universities’ tax-exempt statuses, roughly 25% of people neither agreed nor disagreed.

A report in September from Northeastern University showed numerous safety features Meta has implemented on Instagram over the years do not work well or exist. 

A rare and seasonally-colored lobster is joining spiders, bats, and even some oozing fungi as some of nature’s best Halloween ambassadors. Meet Jackie (short for jack-o’-lantern), a rare orange and black lobster making her debut at Northeastern University’s Marine Science Center in Nahant, Massachusetts. 

Northeastern University’s Roux Institute, in Portland, received an award of $375,000 award with $500,000 in matching funds.

 A September report from Meta whistleblower Arturo Béjar alongside a group of academics from institutions including Northeastern Univeristy and tech advocacy organizations found that teen accounts were still able to send “grossly offensive and misogynistic comments” and view posts describing “demeaning sexual acts.”

The researchers—from Northeastern University, Rutgers University at New Brunswick, the University of Rochester and Harvard—asked survey takers whether they supported the administration’s freezing of “billions of dollars in federal research grants to universities.”

Administered by scholars at Northeastern, Rutgers, and Harvard Universities and the University of Rochester, that survey found general opposition to federal-funding cuts to science and to health research. And overall, 75 percent of the more than 31,000 respondents reported either some or a lot of trust in colleges “to do what is right.”

The review was led by Arturo Béjar, a former senior engineer at Meta, as well as New York University and Northeastern University academics and the UK’s Molly Rose Foundation, among others.
