New research into the understanding and possible treatment of concussions has been uncovered at The University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine, all with the help of some iPods. 

Penn for Paws was founded last week by College sophomore Ashley Sayles to fill what she saw as an empty void — Penn’s lack of a dog-focused club

You might be skeptical if a girl you barely know approaches you on Locust or on Facebook and asks you to show up to a loft in center city to have meaningful discussion for three hours with 20 strangers

“It was pretty clear that Mr. Trump’s view of the world is very transactional, which is not really that surprising if you’ve spent your life as a real estate developer,” David Sanger said in an interview.

Some of Penn's College Republicans are doing something unexpected — voicing their support and even campaigning for the Democratic Nominee for President. 

College senior Ashley Stinnett is currently enrolled in two of the most unorthodox classes at Penn: Religious Studies 356, known colloquially as the “monk class,” and ”Wasting Time on the Internet.”

Penn wrestling is still more than three weeks shy of its home opener, but Philadelphia has already gotten a sneak preview of the Red and Blue’s talents. Last Friday, the Quakers participated in the program’s inaugural “Grapple on the Green” event, setting up a practice session on College Green from 9 A.M.

The new members of Penn wrestling’s freshmen class boast sterling resumes, ranging from academic honors to athletic success.

Gut check. After enduring a heartbreaking 3-2 overtime loss to Ivy foe Yale this past Saturday, Penn Field Hockey (10-5, 3-2 Ivy) took down crosstown rival Villanova in dramatic fashion on Tuesday night, cementing a 5-0 record against Philadelphia-area schools this season. The Quakers did not get off to the start they wanted; the Wildcats scored a goal in both the 32nd and 33rd minutes of play to take a sudden 2-0 lead.

Despite what was described by Coach Fuller as “arguably the team’s best performance of the season,” the men’s soccer team still lost 1-0 to West Virginia (8-5-1) on Tuesday night. The Quakers (4-5-5) came into this game riding high after the decisive 3-0 victory against Yale.

It was a rough year for the American social fabric. The existing political order was under deep strain.

Last week, The Daily Pennsylvanian ran an article about Wharton sophomore Eric Hoover, who posted in the Penn Class of 2019 Facebook group that he intends to form a chapter on campus of a pro-life group called Students for Life of America (SFLA). Naturally, Hoover’s post caused a bit of chaos in the group as pro-choice advocates began to berate him with comments such as “welcome to the middle ages.” While there’s no data to back this up, it’s probable that most Penn students are pro-choice and take great offense at those who would suggest that abortion be made illegal.
