  1. Nearly Half of the World\u2019s Migrants Are Christian<\/a> (Chlo\u00eb-Arizona Fodor, Christianity Today): \u201cWhile Christians make up about 30 percent of the world\u2019s population, the world\u2019s migrants are 47 percent Christian, according to the latest data collected in 2020.\u2026 US migrants are much more likely to have a religious identity than the American-born population in general. The influx of religious migrants can have a significant impact on the religious composition of their destination countries. In the case of the US, \u2018immigrants are kind of putting the brakes on secularization,\u2019 Kramer said.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Meet newly crowned Miss USA Alma Cooper M.S. \u201925<\/a> (Semira Arora, Stanford Daily): \u201cBefore Stanford, Cooper graduated in the top five percent of her class at West Point. Currently, she is a part of the highly selective Knight-Hennessy scholarship program, which aims to cultivate multidisciplinary leaders and offers scholars up to three years of funding for graduate studies.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. A Scary Date Can Help You Find a Good Mate<\/a> (Coltan Scrivner, Substack): \u201cFemale participants enjoyed the horror clip the most when watching with a male who displayed mastery, while male participants enjoyed it most in the presence of a distressed female. For males confederates whose photographs were rated less attractive, displaying mastery increased<\/em> how attractive they were perceived by the female participant that watched the clip with them. In other words, women enjoyed a scary situation more when they experienced it with a man who displayed mastery of their fear, and those men were, in some cases, seen as more attractive than men who displayed indifference or distress.\u201d
