|
|
| A study by Assistant Professor Taha Choukhmane finds that "by switching retirement contributions to the account with the higher match rate, 1 in 5 couples could increase their savings by an estimated $750 per year." Choukhmane notes that "the absence of coordination can be a choice, but it's a costly choice." |

| | | | "Flare-Up" is a series of works by artist duo Goldin+Senneby that explores illness, ecology, and how both are understood together. The title references the experience of living with the autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis. Across their works, the duo uses natural materials such as pine resin, a protective toxin critical to trees' immune systems, and loblolly pine to evoke the theme of autoimmunity and how living systems respond against disease or infection. The exhibit is on display at the MIT List Visual Arts Center through March 15. |
