Chasing Fraud at Stanford: A Sharp but Flawed Look at Silicon Valley Culture
Washington Monthly reviews Theo Baker’s How to Rule the World as a gripping, three-part mix of investigative journalism, ethnography, and memoir that centers on Stanford’s culture of fraud and the Tessier-Lavigne fallout, while noting Baker’s outspoken disdain for his subjects sometimes undermines his analysis and his political mapping of tech culture is underdeveloped. Nevertheless, the book is a persuasive, film-worthy account of accountability in Silicon Valley rooted in strong reporting.

The Times provides a district-by-district lookup for changes since 2015, with exclusions for states and districts lacking data (e.g., New York); where 2015 data are missing, baseline scores come from the 2014–2016 average to enable cross-district comparisons.
Two aging milestones revealed: the body shifts at 44 and 60, study finds
A Stanford-led study of 108 participants aged 25–75 found that aging is marked by two sharp molecular and microbial shifts, occurring precisely at ages 44 and 60. About 81% of the molecules analyzed changed in these windows, affecting cardiovascular and immune-system pathways and suggesting midlife is a critical period for aging. Researchers note lifestyle and genetics may influence these shifts and advise adopting healthier habits in one's 40s and 60s.
