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."

The diploma divide is real, but college doesn’t make students as liberal as people think
Public discussions often focus on the idea that higher education makes students more liberal. “The ideological effects of higher education are a hotly disputed topic in the United States,” said Michael Prinzing, a research scholar at Wake Forest. “Yet the evidence for such effects is remarkably mixed.” Prinzing and his colleague wanted to investigate exactly how political views shift during college and which factors influence those changes. "Overall, our findings reveal an important and growing divide in political identity; they also undermine sweeping claims about ideological effects of higher education.”

School of Business professor Philip Howard offers tips on organizing a household budget. "Group expenses into needs, wants, savings, and debt payments, then create separate categories only where more detail would change behavior. It also helps to plan for irregular expenses with monthly “sinking funds” and automate savings where possible. A budget works best when it becomes a simple routine, not a one-time spreadsheet."

Before Kalshi and Polymarket there was the Iowa Electronic Markets
"Prediction markets as we know them today were cooked up by economists trying to test some theories on markets. Economist and prediction market expert Koleman Strump shares his expertise in this story about the evolution of prediction markets. "Part of this sort of psychology of these markets is that people like to be smart. People like to use this as a way of sort of showing off their smarts, of how they figure these things out."

Conflicts and consolidation: When private equity assembles teams of rivals
The better frame is conflict management. When one investor stands behind several firms competing for the same clients, the same executives, the same technology, and acquisitions and growth capital, the appearance of divided loyalty can matter almost as much as a conflict itself. Even the perception carries weight: a strong pull on the nonaudit side can “spill over to the audit side,” warns accounting professor Jenelle Conaway.

World Cup can get America’s kids off the couch
And this investment could lead to kids who are more than just physically healthy but doing better in life altogether, said Abbie Wrights, a health and exercise science professor at Wake Forest University who teaches the culture of youth sports. “When our children are physically active, it supports all dimensions of their well-being,” Wrights said. “We know that it supports their physical wellness, but we also have research that it supports their emotional wellness, their social wellness.“It boosts their self-esteem. It gives them confidence. It leads to higher academic success.”

Developers giving attackers a free ride after hundreds of iPhone AI apps found exposing credentials
A study from Wake Forest University analyzed 444 iOS apps with large language model (LLM) functionality and found that almost 282 of them exposed exploitable credentials or other methods for accessing AI services. Apps containing potential vulnerabilities spanned 13 categories. In terms of vulnerability rates, Health and Fitness performed worst, with almost half of the apps containing flaws. Around 40% of productivity apps were affected, compared with roughly a quarter of lifestyle and entertainment apps.

Study offers first map of Amazon’s climate-resilient upslope corridors
"As the world warms, plants and animals must quickly migrate to cooler places to stay resilient and survive. But today such migrations are often blocked by deforestation, human infrastructure and lack of conserved lands," writes journalism professor Justin Catanoso, a regular contributor to Mongabay. Ecologist Miles Silman is quoted in this story, noting the naturally changing climate occurred at the end of the last ice age 10,000 years ago. “Some argue that species [then] didn’t really experience climate change, because they could move so easily over time to new habitats and stay in equilibrium,” he said.

2 paths forward in Pope Leo’s AI encyclical
The typical American’s biggest AI worry is massive, permanent job displacement. Seventy-one percent express this fear.…The impact of innovations isn’t known in advance. It is discovered that the innovation is spontaneously adopted, adapted and evolves. Consciously pulling ourselves away from the constant allure of the electronic world may be the best way to ensure that we get the benefits of AI without suffering the worst of its potential costs — our dehumanization.

As Juneteenth is celebrated across the US, Obama’s presidential center opens in Chicago
As people gather across the U.S. to celebrate Juneteenth on Friday, former President Barack Obama’s presidential center will open its doors to the public for the first time. Divinity school dean Corey D.B. Walker said the holiday offers a way to recognize the nation’s “complex history” and what it means to be a U.S. citizen, especially during efforts by President Donald Trump’s administration to undermine the retelling of Black history. “I think it really reminds people of the importance of understanding a fuller, more robust portrait of our nation’s history and the many contributions of many individuals who have contributed to America’s experiment with democracy,” Walker said.
