Inter-American Dialogue
“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."

Absentee ballots must arrive by 7:30 p.m. on Election Day
North Carolina voters can cast their votes early by mail through absentee ballots, with clear steps outlined to ensure their ballots are counted. "Anybody – any eligible voter can request an absentee ballot," said political science professor John Dinan. "You can either go into a notary public to do this in front of them, or you have two witnesses," Dinan said. "They witness that you’re the one filling out the ballot and they attest to that and sign to that."

Hidden temperature errors may understate climate impacts by 15% or More
When city planners, public health officials, and agricultural agencies prepare for a hotter future, they almost always begin with the same foundation: economic studies that quantify how extreme heat affects violent crime, hospital admissions, electricity demand, and crop yields. Those studies, in turn, rest on temperature data. A new peer-reviewed study, co-authored by Wake Forest economics professor Alex Yu, argues that this foundation is shakier than the research community has appreciated.

How to do your own online health research like a scientist
"The instinct to 'do your own research' when it comes to your health is a good one," writes Lucy McGowan, Associate Professor of Statistical Sciences. "The challenge often is not lack of information, but the opposite. People are surrounded by studies, headlines, forums, family and friends, often all speaking at once in different directions and with different levels of reliability. How do you move through this abundance of information without getting lost in it?"

COVID disparity skews absentee voting numbers
"It is very likely that some people followed new developments in recent months about the possibility that new federal rules would create complications for mailing absentee ballots and that this led some people to decide that the safer course of action would be to vote in person," said politics professor John Dinan. The U.S. Supreme Court recently prevented the proposed federal rules affecting absentee ballots from taking effect this year. "So these concerns should no longer serve as a deterrent to anyone considering voting an absentee ballot."

How journaling can heal the mother wound
"The mother wound is the pain, trauma and negative psychological messaging that children, typically daughters, inherit from their mother's own unresolved wounding," explains Allison Forti, an associate teaching professor in Wake Forest's counseling department. "Daughters who experience the mother wound may have had their physical needs met during childhood, but didn't receive emotional attunement, love and a sense of safety and security from their mother."
