Christian Miller, professor of philosophy, makes a case for how AI may be affecting our patience and, therefore, our well-being. He says a slow and thoughtful approach for learning and searching throughout life grows our capacity for patience, while our embrace of chatbots for quick answers erodes the opportunity to strengthen this muscle. "We now have a shortcut that can get us answers automatically and instantaneously, recalibrating what is normal. In the past, they were normalized around hours. Now, they're normalized around minutes, perhaps even seconds."

Araceli (Sally) Perez-Ramos, associate director of market readiness & employment for Wake Forest's business school, suggests investing in relationships without having an agenda, becoming known for making other people successful, and creating social capital before you need it. "If you think of relationships as assets you build over time, small consistent deposits create compounded wealth for you in the future. Think of every interaction you have with someone else as either crediting or debiting your social wealth account."

Prediction market users have traded nearly $200 million on midterm elections so far
As prediction markets have boomed on topics from war to sports, trading volume on midterm election results has surpassed $197 million, according to an NBC News analysis of 1,408 open markets on Kalshi and Polymarket. Not everyone who comes to these platforms trades, though. Researchers say many users treat prediction markets as information tools. “I can see what well-incentivized, very smart traders think about different topics, and I use these markets to guide my news diet for the day,” said Koleman Strumpf, a Wake Forest University economics professor who researches prediction markets.

To defend your software, first teach AI to break it
At the heart of their work is a problem most people never see but that affects everyone: software vulnerabilities. Every time a person uses an app, buys something online or interacts with a digital service, their data travels through invisible connectors called application programming interfaces (APIs). "You can view an API as a communication channel between two pieces of software," said computer science professor Ying Zhang. "If the API accepts malicious or unexpected inputs without performing proper validation and security checks, attackers can exploit those weaknesses to trigger vulnerabilities, compromise systems or carry out successful cyberattacks."

Davidson College expands financial aid, offering free tuition to more families
Davidson College, a private college north of Charlotte, is expanding its scholarship program to give full rides to more students from lower-income households. Other schools in North Carolina have similar financial aid programs. Wake Forest University has the Gateway to Wake Forest program. It covers the standard living expenses and the full cost of tuition for incoming students whose families make less than $100,000 per year. Wake Forest said it has seen in-state applications increase more than 75%.

Trump needs to stay the course on Iran diplomacy
"Much to the relief of most Americans, President Donald Trump finally agreed to a (MOU) with Iran to re-open the Strait of Hormuz and begin negotiations over the future of Iran’s nuclear program. Trump made the right move here. This was an unnecessary war of choice for the United States. Polls show Americans don’t see Iran as much of a threat and opposed the war from day one. But the hardest part is yet to come," writes international politics expert Will Walldorf.

Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program may lead to bone problems
The new Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program offers broader, more affordable access to weight loss drugs to address the growing obesity crisis. But there's a catch when it comes to bone health. "Where the degree of weight loss is similar to bariatric surgery, like maybe 25%, it stands to reason that the magnitude of bone loss is also going to be increased," she said. "I think that's concerning for older adults in particular, because they're at greater risk for fracture," said health and exercise science professor Kristen Beavers.

3 questions for Adam Landreth, assistant dean for online programs at WFU law school
As more institutions look to grow their online programs, many are wrestling with a fundamental question: Should they build the capabilities in-house or partner with an external provider? Adam Landreth, assistant dean for online programs, has been closely involved in that evolution. "My advice is to be realistic about your capabilities. If you’ve not grown the way you wanted for some time, you’re not magically going to start now," said Landreth.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of property: What the Founding Fathers said about homeownership
Cultural anthropologist Sherri Lawson Clark said students recite the oft-quoted ideals of the American dream…but that idea doesn't always line up with the lives they can afford, or even what they really want. "They describe the American dream as a suburban space, but the reality of how they want to be and to live is in an urban setting. We're constantly getting these messages about the dream, which is why it's difficult to shake.…The ideology has been so strong, but there have been some cracks. Not a crack in the dream, just what it means.

People can now bet on wildfires on prediction markets. What could go wrong?
Kaitlyn Trudeau, an applied climate scientist at Climate Central, read that people are betting money on how fast wildfires might spread and what cities they’ll reach. She worried that could lead to people starting fires to make more money. But one could flip that argument, said economics professor Koleman Strumpf. “If you could incentivize enough people to clear brush and take preventative actions, you could use these markets and bet on that as well,” he said.

Supreme Court bars states from protecting consumers if federal agencies won’t
"Chemical giant Monsanto has argued for years that if the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approves a pesticide label without requiring a cancer warning, states cannot hold its manufacturer liable in court for failing to warn consumers about cancer risks. The U.S. Supreme Court agreed, in a ruling issued on June 25, 2026, though some members of Congress are taking steps to override that ruling," writes law professor Sarah Morath.
