Harvard in dispute, misinformation on measles, revealing facts about 'Chalet Girls': Catch up on the day's news stories
👋 Hello and Welcome to 5PM Digest! Measles misinformation is spreading rapidly in the US, and most people seem unsure about their beliefs. False claims are circulating, including the unfounded assertion that the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine causes autism. This claim is incorrect.
Here's what else you might have missed during your busy day:
📚 5 things
1️⃣ Harvard-Admin tussle: The ongoing feud between Harvard University and the Trump administration centers on academic autonomy, not specifically accreditation reform.➕ Trump's administration is aiming to tackle the college accreditation process with a new executive order, though it's not the central issue in this conflict.
2️⃣ Air pollution: Pollution levels are worsening for an increasing number of Americans, according to a recent report. These harmful particles, which are minuscule and dangerous, threaten human health, and the proposed deregulation plans are slated to exacerbate the issue.
3️⃣ Supreme Court divide: Alliance dynamics among the US Supreme Court justices fluctuate throughout cases, as observed in the recent mass deportation of migrants. However, there's a clear ideological rift when it comes to religion.
4️⃣ Aurangzeb Alamgir: The former Indian ruler from the Mughal dynasty continues to stir controversy despite his death over 300 years ago. The public is enraged over his ongoing relevance in contemporary politics.
5️⃣ Chalet Girls: The lives of the young women catering to the rich and famous in European ski resorts are not as glamorous as they may appear. The allure of serving the elite isn't quite what it seems.
