And then there’s the South’s most unusual college mascot—the Demon Deacon. With his top hat, black tails, and giant oversized head, Wake Forest University’s Demon Deacon has been called everything from hilarious to terrifying.

New frontiers in bee science reveal how bees battle heat, mites and viruses
Bees are under unprecedented pressure from human intervention, and a new editorial in the journal Frontiers in Bee Science argues that the science needed to save them is advancing on multiple fronts at once. The editorial, written by top bee researchers, including biologist Susan E. Fahrbach, looks at climate-induced heat stress and its growing threat to bee diversity. Solitary bees appear especially vulnerable because they cannot thermoregulate their nests.

Career readiness needs an architecture, not an add-on
Wake Forest University’s Andy Chan said: Rather than assuming every authentic experience requires elaborate new infrastructure, institutions can begin by identifying what students already do that is close to experiential learning and make it more consequential through greater structure and reflection... Career services have an essential role to play in this model—not only as providers of services near graduation, but as institutional architects and connectors.

“José Antonio Kast swept to Chile’s presidency on promises to stem immigration and fight organized crime. In this sense, the stated reason for joining the Shield of the Americas initiative is to demonstrate a commitment to showing progress on these issues. The government also acknowledged that cooperation with the United States could extend into other strategic and economic areas, and Kast and governing parties insist that joining the initiative involves no surrender of Chile’s sovereignty," shared politics and international affairs professor Peter M. Siavelis.

When an affair involves a chatbot
“Two years ago, AI romantic companions did not pose a serious problem for exclusive relationships. Today, they are rapidly becoming the most damaging force many couples will ever face," writes philosophy professor Christian B. Miller. He argues that romantic AI companions cause relationship damage comparable to traditional affairs through secrecy and emotional dependency. The piece examines how the rise of these chatbots among young adults mirrors real-world deception.

"The 2026 Nobel Prize in chemistry concerns a property called chirality, which may sound like an abstract science term but is actually all around you, all the time," write chemistry professors Cédric Schaack and Mallory Green. "You can even see this property on your own body: Hold out your hands, palms up. Your hands are mirror images of one another, yet however you turn them, you can never lay your right hand exactly on top of your left with both palms facing the same way....Throughout medical history, controlling chirality has meant the difference between therapeutic breakthroughs and medical tragedies."

If fraternities focus on character, why do rape allegations continue?
A recent lawsuit alleging a gang rape took place at a Cornell University off-campus fraternity house has raised concerns about Greek life culture, but lawyers who represent Greek-letter organizations say that if the behavior occurred, it was carried out by individuals, not the organizations. “The benefits of fraternities and sororities are ideally friendship for life and, in theory, a sense of high ideals and values that should guide an individual,” said law professor Gregory Parks.

Trump might order another Iran strike before the midterms
After months of on-again, off-again fighting, the United States hasn't struck Iran in several weeks. The stretch of relative tranquility coincides with the final phase of the midterm election campaign. “Military action has done nothing to drive down oil prices; in fact, it has done the opposite,” Will Walldorf, an international affairs professor at Wake Forest University and a senior fellow at the think tank Defense Priorities, said.

What to know about the penny’s final days
There’s little reason to hoard ordinary pennies, according to finance professor Ajay Patel. “Since the penny is essentially worth its face value of one cent, there is no reason to hoard pennies. By hoarding them, you are essentially locking up funds you could spend and while you hoard them, they don't generate income for you,” Patel said. "So either spend them or deposit them in your bank account."
