Over the summer, after a contentious legislative battle, the United States House of Representatives passed the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act with bipartisan support, which sought to limit states’ ability to require the labeling of Genetically Modified Organisms. The bill was a response to the efforts of many state legislatures to require companies to label GMOs on all food, which supporters say increases transparency in the food supply. Opponents respond that GMOs have been shown to have no negative health effects, and research done by William Lesser, has shown that burdensome labeling laws could increase the food expenditure of the average American family by as much as $500 per year. But while GMOs may remain a contentious issue politically, there is a broad scientific consensus over their benefits.

Among the most meaningful aspects of graduation season are the collective good wishes and farewells that the more permanent members of the Brandeis community send off to those soon-to-be-alumni whom they have come to know over the years. One such professor graciously gave me a graduation gift along with some kind words. Yet this gift represents to me much more than a simple goodbye—instead, this gift is emblematic of what higher education should be, and what it most certainly is at Brandeis University.

The Contractual Death of Jonathan G Faustus managed to avoid being pretentious despite subject matter that could hardly be anything but. The show was about life, death and the meaning of both, but, to its credit, it wasn’t above the occasional phallic joke.
