Il Fatto Quotidiano: Cosa c’entrano Taylor Swift, Drake e Harry Styles con gli incidenti stradali? Uno studio di Harvard dimostra la correlazione tra musica e schianti La spiegazione di un esperto C’è qualcosa che lega l’uscita di un nuovo album di Taylor Swift, Drake o Harry Styles e un aumento degli incidenti stradali mortali? Apparentemente sì, secondo una ricerca di Harvard appena pubblicata su JAMA Network Open: nei giorni di uscita di dieci album tra i più ascoltati su Spotify negli Stati Uniti, tra il 2017 e il 2022, le morti stradali sono risultate circa il 15% più numerose rispetto ai giorni di confronto. Il dato è sorprendente, ma proprio per questo rischia di essere letto più di quanto lo studio consenta. I ricercatori non hanno infatti verificato che le persone morte in quegli incidenti stessero ascoltando quei dischi, né che stessero usando il telefono per farlo, né tantomeno che la musica avesse provocato la distrazione. Hanno messo in relazione due dati aggregati: da una parte l’aumento dello streaming nei giorni di uscita degli album, dall’altra il numero di vittime della strada negli stessi giorni. Si tratta dunque di un’associazione temporale, non della dimostrazione di un rapporto causa-effetto. L'articolo Cosa c’entrano Taylor Swift, Drake e Harry Styles con gli incidenti stradali?

What do Taylor Swift, Drake and Harry Styles have to do with car accidents? A study by Harvard demonstrates the correlation between music and crashes. An expert’s explanation. Is there something that links the release of a new album by Taylor Swift, Drake or Harry Styles with an increase in fatal road accidents? Apparently yes, according to a recently published Harvard study on JAMA Network Open: on the days of release of ten of the most listened-to albums on Spotify in the United States between 2017 and 2022, road deaths were approximately 15% higher than on comparable days. The data is surprising, but precisely because of this it risks being read more than the study allows. The researchers did not verify that the people who died in those accidents were listening to those discs, nor that they were using their phones to do so, let alone that the music had caused distraction. They related two aggregated figures: on one hand the increase in streaming on the release days of the albums, and on the other hand the number of road victims on those same days. It is therefore a temporal association, not the demonstration of a cause-and-effect relationship. The article What does Taylor Swift, Drake and Harry Styles have to do with road accidents?

Chicago Sun-Times - All | University of Chicago to offer free tuition for students from families making less than $250,000 a year by Mary Norkol AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The University of Chicago announced that, beginning in fall 2027, it will waive tuition for undergraduate students whose families earn under $250,000 a year and will also cover housing, meals and other fees for those from families earning under $125,000. The move, described by President Paul Alivisatos as a step to keep “the brightest minds” accessible to middle‑ and upper‑middle‑income families, comes as the school’s total cost of attendance nears $100,000 annually (with tuition alone about $71,000). The university already provides roughly $75,000 in average aid per student and $225 million in aid each year, and the new policy joins similar initiatives at Harvard, Columbia, MIT, Northwestern and other top schools that have begun offering tuition‑free education to families below certain income thresholds.

Times of India | Who is Lorna Hajdini? 5 things we know about the JPMorgan executive accused of abusing 'Brown Boy Indian' colleague AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Lorna Hajdini, an Executive Director in leveraged finance at JPMorgan Chase, is the subject of a civil lawsuit filed in New York County Supreme Court on April 27 2026 by a junior male colleague who alleges that she subjected him to sexual abuse, coercion, drugging, and repeated racial harassment, including being called a “Brown boy Indian.” The plaintiff claims the misconduct began in 2024, with threats to his career when he resisted, while JPMorgan maintains that its internal investigation found no evidence supporting the accusations and that the complainant did not fully cooperate. The case, still unresolved and pending trial, has sparked broader discussion about power imbalances, workplace racism, and the effectiveness of internal reporting mechanisms in the finance sector.
