WASHINGTON (AP) — Foreign students enrolled at U.S. colleges in strong numbers this fall despite fears that a Trump administration crackdown would trigger a nosedive, yet there are signs of turbulence as fewer new, first-time students arrived from other countries, according to a new report.Overall, U.S. campuses saw a 1% decrease in international enrollment this fall compared with last year, according to a survey from the Institute of International Education. But that figure is propped up by large numbers of students who stayed in the U.S. for temporary work after graduating. The number of new students entering the United States…

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Arlina Yang, a junior at the University of California, Davis. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

My parents don’t really know anything about tech, let alone job applications.I had to figure everything out on my own — meeting with university career counselors,…

From Miami to San Diego, schools around the U.S. are seeing big drops in enrollment of students from immigrant families. In some cases, parents have been deported or voluntarily returned to their home countries, driven out by President Donald Trump’s sweeping immigration crackdown. Others have moved elsewhere inside the U.S.In many school systems, the biggest factor is that far fewer families are coming from other countries. As fewer people cross the U.S. border, administrators in small towns and big cities alike are reporting fewer newcomer students than usual. In Miami-Dade County Public Schools, about 2,550 students have entered the district…

This past week, law firm leaders and legal-tech builders gathered at a schmoozy, invite-only retreat in Austin to discuss the future of the legal profession.The key debate was not simply whether lawyers should use AI, but how to buy it, and who pays.Run by the investment firm The Legal Tech Fund, TLTF Summit is a three-day event and the industry’s spin on the Sun Valley Conference. This year, panels considered staffing models, non-lawyer ownership, “innovation theater,” and unsanctioned tool use, or “shadow IT.”I attended the summit and spoke with lawyers and legal ethicists about how tech is shaping the industry.…

According to a new report from the International Energy Agency, the world will spend $580 billion on data centers this year — $40 billion more than will be spent finding new oil supplies. Those numbers help to illustrate some big shifts in the global economy, and comparing data centers and oil seems particularly apt given concerns about how generative AI might accelerate climate change. Kirsten Korosec, Rebecca Bellan, and I discussed the report’s findings on the latest episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast. There’s no question that these new data centers are going to be hungry for power, and that they…

Do you know what your hormone levels are? Should you?Your body is home to more than 50 hormones — chemical messengers that compose the endocrine system — and hormonal changes may reflect any number of medical conditions. For example, low levels of the pancreatic hormone insulin may indicate diabetes, while high levels of the stress hormone cortisol can play a role in obesity.But some hormones such as melatonin, which is important for sleep, naturally fluctuate throughout the day. Other hormonal changes are normal at different phases of life, such as a woman’s drop in the reproductive hormones estrogen and progesterone…

Ashley Rodolph, a 26-year-old mother who lives in Texas, started buying ByHeart infant formula because she believed it was a safer, cleaner alternative to other baby products on the market.But that assumption was dramatically upended this month. Rodolph learned that ByHeart was recalling its powdered formula because it is likely tied to an infant botulism outbreak that has sickened more than a dozen babies. She panicked, hoping the formula she’s been feeding her daughter for the past three months was not from a defective can.“I don’t know if we’ve had those cans or not, and that was pretty terrifying to…
