Today's riddle: I went into the woods and found it. Once I'd found it, I searched for it. The harder I searched, the less I wanted it. When at last I couldn't find it, I carried it home in my hand. What is it? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
• Duxbury's depth delivers Mass. Public School Rowing Association boys' championship; Brookline takes girls' title (bostonglobe.com) — Cambridge’s public school rowing program extended its dominance by winning both the girls’ and boys’ varsity fours at the state public school championships, capping a standout weekend that also included strong New England results. Led by coxswain Ada LaMaster and coach Lane Lauriat, the girls’ varsity four claimed its ninth straight title, underscoring Cambridge’s sustained strength on the Merrimack River course.
• MIT researchers 3D print three-sided zipper that stiffens into rods, coils, and arches (designboom.com) — MIT researchers in Cambridge have revived a long-forgotten zipper patent to create a 3D‑printed “Y‑zipper” that shifts from soft to rigid with a single pull. Their prototypes range from self‑assembling tents and robotic legs to a wrist brace that stiffens for support, hinting at future uses in emergency shelters and even space tools. It’s a glimpse of cutting‑edge design happening right in Cambridge’s backyard.
• Oxford County Sheriff shares missing woman alert, urges tips to Auburn police (wgme.com) — A missing-person alert notes that Lacey Rose Sawyer Harvey was last known to be traveling from Harvard Square in Cambridge to Maine Medical Center in Portland. Maine authorities are leading the search, but her Cambridge departure point makes this relevant for locals who may have seen her or have information to share with police.
