Along Main Street in Waltham, just a few miles past the center of the city, sits a house that doesn’t quite fit with the rest of the neighborhood. It’s large and made completely of brick. The windows on each side are symmetrical, adorned with white trim. The Federalist-style home surrounded by acres of land was perfectly suitable for the federalist that inhabited it: Christopher Gore.
In Pixar’s “Ratatouille,” famously fearsome food critic Anton Ego declares, “If I don’t love it, I don’t swallow.” One bite is all it takes for him to grimace, or, in the film’s famous finale, to melt into childhood nostalgia. The chef behindL those reactions isn’t human, but Remy the rat. And while no rat is serving up ratatouille in Sherman Dining Hall, there are rats on Brandeis’ campus shaping how scientists understand the powerful link between taste and behavior.
For a Brandeis undergraduate, the Brandeis Core Science requirement has inevitably brought you to a classroom where the words DNA to ribonucleic acid to protein are chanted almost as a mantra. The process, as we learn it in its most basic form, flows in a straight line: step A, then step B, then step C.
As Brandeis goes through numerous changes over the years — whether in its infrastructure, its administration or its student body — certain truths about the character of the University remain the same. One of those truths is that its academics comprise a diverse collection of talented and dedicated instructors who teach classes that change our lives indelibly.

The West End neighborhood of Boston can be categorized today by Massachusetts General Hospital, TD Garden and its towering highrises. The streets are busy and the buildings are shiny and new. A now popular neighborhood for young professionals, the West End was once the home of Boston elites, immigrants with diverse backgrounds and the catalyst of abolition in the Commonwealth.
Waltham is a vibrant city, and it can be characterized by its rich multicultural history. Once the home of the very first fully-integrated factory in the entire United States, Waltham attracted migrants from all over the world.
On a quiet side street 10 minutes from Cambridge’s bustling Central Square, a vivid blue humpback whale and its soon-to-be dinner of solemn-faced krill is painted against a backdrop of dizzying purple Fibonacci spirals. The mural, “Cetacean Spiral,” is the brainchild of East Medford-based muralist Sophy Tuttle, whose work primarily centers around themes of human-nature relationships.
As visitors step off Boston’s breezy streets and through the shadowed entryway of the WNDR Museum (pronounced ‘Wonder’), their attention is immediately drawn to the softly illuminated flowers winding around the space’s jet-black walls that cast warm light onto them below. The flowers, drawn by children of museum employees using technology to upscale and project, are part of an installation titled “WNDR Flowers,” according to the general manager, Giancarlo Natale. In the hallway beyond, mirrors stretch from floor to ceiling, doubling the luminous effect and drawing visitors deeper into the museum’s curated dreamscape. It’s a playful introduction to what awaits, a space that not only displays art but indirectly showcases ongoing debates around the meaning of creation in an age of machine learning and digital tools.
