Teenagers are injecting crushed butterflies for internet clout; a doctor cautions against life-threatening consequences

A disturbing new online challenge has become popular online among teenagers. This involved the dangerous practice of injecting a mixture made from crushed butterflies and water. What may sound like an obscure internet hoax has already led to tragedy. In Brazil, 14-year-old Davi Nunes Moreira died after allegedly participating in this trend back in February this year, which involves self-injecting the homemade solution in what appears to be a mix of self-experimentation and viral dares. The reason behind his death is believed to be septic shock caused by toxins in the butterfly remains, and has prompted a police investigation and renewed warnings about the real-world dangers of online challenges. The unsettling trend is spreading in private online circles and messaging apps. While teens may...

Trump slashes STEM funding, AI disrupts jobs: Are students toiling hard for degrees the job market no longer needs? – Times of India

Cracks are deepening in the foundations of modern education. The myth that STEM degrees offer lifelong employability is beginning to unfold, stemming from not the lack of ambition among students. But from the very ground shifting beneath them. As artificial intelligence grows more capable and policy shifts undercut foundational support for science and technology learning, a haunting question is emerging: Are we educating students for a future that no longer wants them?Donald Trump’s latest budget proposal, which slashes 75% of federal STEM education funding through the National Science Foundation, doesn’t just signal a change in numbers; it suggests a philosophical reversal.

Trump’s legal blitz on Harvard’s international students ignites major court clash – Times of India

A fierce confrontation is escalating between Harvard University and the Trump administration , a battle that cuts far deeper than immigration policy. At stake is the very essence of Harvard’s role as a global academic institution. What began as a series of bureaucratic moves has erupted into a full-fledged legal conflict, with President Donald Trump launching an aggressive campaign to dismantle Harvard’s ability to host international students.
