A.T. Still University's Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health (ATSU-ASDOH) in Mesa, Arizona, will host its inaugural Inclusive Dentistry & Oral Health Immersion Program this November.

Developed in conjunction with Delta Dental of Arizona, this intensive three-day continuing education program will provide hands-on training to meet the needs and demands of dental healthcare teams (dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, and front desk staff) who wish to enhance their knowledge and skills in caring for individuals with special health care needs, including those with disabilities and those who are frail and medically compromised older adults. The program will include observation, chairside opportunities, and live-patient direct care.

"At ATSU-ASDOH, we are not just educating future clinicians; we are shaping a more inclusive future for healthcare," said Desmond Gallagher, BDS, ATSU-ASDOH dean. "Our collaboration with Delta Dental of Arizona drives this mission and demonstrates our belief education in care for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities should be accessible to oral healthcare providers in our community, enhancing access to care. Through our immersive program, we aspire to make this compassionate approach the standard, not the exception."

In addition to supporting this first-ever training program, in 2024, Delta Dental of Arizona added a Special Health Care Needs dental benefit to most of its dental plans. It covers additional dental visits and up to four dental cleanings per benefit year as well as treatment delivery modifications and the use of anesthesia when necessary to provide dental care.

ADMINISTRATORS OF THE TULANE EDUCATIONAL FUND: A SINGLE SHOT AT BIRTH MAY SHIELD CHILDREN FROM HIV FOR YEARS, STUDY FINDS

A new study in Nature shows that delivering a single injection of gene therapy at birth may offer years-long protection against HIV, taking advantage of a critical window in early life that could reshape the fight against pediatric infections in high-risk regions.

This study is among the first to show that the first weeks of life, when the immune system is naturally more tolerant, may be the optimal window for delivering gene therapies that would otherwise be rejected at older ages.

"Nearly 300 children are infected with HIV each day," said first author Amir Ardeshir, associate professor of microbiology and immunology at the Tulane National Primate Research Center, who conducted the study alongside fellow researchers at the California National Primate Research Center. "This approach could help protect newborns in high-risk areas during the most vulnerable period of their lives."

Some of Earth's largest climate systems may collapse not with a bang, but with a whimper. Surprisingly, experiments with magnets are helping us understand how.

We now widely accept that greenhouse gases and the way we use natural resources are putting enormous stress on the world's climate and ecosystems. It's also well known that even small increases in stress can push Earth systems, like rainforests, ice sheets or ocean currents, past tipping points, leading to major and often irreversible changes.

But there's a lot we still don't know about tipping points. When might they happen? What will they look like? And what should we do about them?

This is the future Binghamton University computer scientist Yincheng Jin envisions in his recently awarded National Science Foundation CAREER grant of $599,588, aiming to design a daily ASL training platform using wearable technology and artificial intelligence.

The CAREER award is the highest distinction the NSF offers to researchers it has tapped to become future leaders of their fields. As an assistant professor in the Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science's School of Computing, Jin focused his previous work on the area of wearables for ASL translation.

What began as a grassroots effort is now a nationally recognized powerhouse - poised to expand its reach, deepen its impact and create even more opportunities for student-athletes in the years ahead.

A person in a blue shirt wearing a headset Chris "Doc" Haskell It all started in 2017, and in the most humble of spaces: a classroom. But it was never a small idea. The program was born from the vision of Chris "Doc" Haskell - also nicknamed the "Grandfather of Esports" - and backed by the innovation-focused spirit of the College of Innovation and Design.

Haskell joined forces with Brett Shelton, a professor of educational technology to explore the possibilities of competitive gaming in higher education. Together, they pitched the idea to the College of Innovation and Design. Gordon Jones, then-dean of the college saw the potential immediately - a program true to the college's mission of investing in the future and building from bold ideas.

With the college's support, the program launched under the Department of Educational Technology, but transitioned fully to the College of Innovation and Design in 2018, just one year after its founding. The program's physical journey mirrored its growth. From a shared computer lab in the Education Building, it moved to a temporary home on the second floor of Albertsons Library. Then, in 2019, construction was completed on the now-iconic Boise State Esports Arena.

Her internship involved promoting the NCAA Division I women's basketball program, that included working the championship game where UConn beat South Carolina in Tampa, 82-59.

"Being able to say in my first year as a working professional that I played a hand in executing one of the biggest events in sports, it's been a really cool experience," Tripp said.

Over the past year she's worked on many projects leading up to the championship game. Tripp traveled to South Carolina to help organize a high school skills tournament at the NCAA college basketball academy and spent a week at the University of Arizona to learn first-hand how a Division I basketball program is run.

Brno University of Technology (BUT) has published its first Annual Sustainability Report, which summarizes progress in education, research, operations, and social responsibility for 2024. The document follows on from the previously adopted Sustainability Strategy and the establishment of the Sustainability Office headed by Milan Houser, Vice-Rector for Artistic Activities and Sustainability.

Sustainability is not a one-off topic for BUT, but a long-term priority that is reflected in its development plans and strategic areas. "The report reflects our efforts to integrate sustainability principles into all levels of the university's operations, from teaching and research to operations. Our intention is to continue these efforts and thus strengthen BUT's position as a leader in technology and sustainability," says Vice-Rector Milan Houser. The individual areas of development respond not only to technological changes, but also to social challenges. "We are not only concerned with measuring impacts, but also with building a culture of change through active community involvement," adds sustainability coordinator Katerina Myslivcova. New study programs and social topics in teaching BUT has launched programs focused on sustainability, such as Environmentally Advanced Buildings (FCE), Energy (FME), Architecture and Urban Planning (FA), and Automotive Electronics and Electromobility (FEEC).

BRNO UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY THE AUGUSTA TOOL REPLACES ANIMAL EXPERIMENTS AND CELEBRATES SUCCESS IN THE L'OREAL-UNESCO COMPETITION FOR WOMEN IN SCIENCE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Jana Musilova from the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication at Brno University of Technology, succeeded in the competition L'Oreal-UNESCO For Women in Science in the Czech Republic. With her innovative project focused on reducing animal testing, she gained recognition in a competition that annually honors outstanding scientific work by women from around the world.

This year, the young scientist entered the L'Oreal-UNESCO For Women in Science competition in the Czech Republic with her project titled "Pioneering in silico solutions to reduce animal testing." Jana Musilova's research center is based on the Augusta tool - a sophisticated Python package designed for creating computational models of biological systems, which allows researchers to test their hypotheses and study biological processes without conducting experiments on live animals. Gene regulatory networks and Boolean networks are used for this purpose, which serve as digital copies of how a living organism functions.

"To better understand this, we can imagine the human body as a complex machine where each cell receives different signals and decides what to do - whether to grow, divide, or produce certain substances. The Augusta tool can create a computational model of this decision-making and simulate how the organism would react to various stimuli or drugs," explains scientist Jana Musilova. Thanks to Augusta, it is possible to test new treatments or study diseases directly on a computer without the need for laboratory animals.

BROWN UNIVERSITY SOPHIA WU: CRAB WRANGLER, OCEAN DREAMER

Seeking a calling in life doesn't always mean starting with a specific job or vocation in mind. That's true for rising Brown University sophomore Sophia Wu. She's interested in science and engineering, but she's not quite sure yet what her life's work will be. There is, however, one thing she knows for sure: She's called to the ocean.

"I like building and making things, which is why I'm interested in engineering," said Wu, a Bridgewater, New Jersey, native. "But I've always been a big swimmer, and I just love the water. It's part of me that I don't want to leave behind. Whatever I end up doing, it has to be something that keeps me near the ocean."

So when Wu was looking for internship opportunities this summer and saw one available with Save the Bay, a Rhode Island nonprofit dedicated to protecting Narragansett Bay, she didn't think twice. The internship was made possible through the SPRINT-iProv summer fellowship program, organized by Brown's Swearer Center and Center for Career Exploration to connect undergraduates with full-time summer work in partnership with Providence-based nonprofits.

HOW HOT IS TOO HOT FOR HEALTH BROWN EMERGENCY ROOM DOCTOR SHARES HEAT-RELATED RED FLAGS

As summer temperatures soar, so do cases of heat-related illness.

Waves of sudden or extreme heat can be particularly dangerous, especially for people with certain risk factors, says Dr. Katelyn Moretti, an assistant professor of emergency medicine at Brown University's Warren Alpert Medical School and emergency medicine physician at Miriam and Women and Infants hospitals in Providence.

People are most comfortable when their body temperature is around 98 degrees Fahrenheit, and conditions that raise body temperature above 100 degrees are problematic. Hospitalizations increase when outdoor temperatures climb above 85 degrees with high humidity and drastic temperature swings, Moretti said.

"Those who live in cooler climates may have a harder time dealing with extreme heat than those in the South, who may be used to it," said Moretti, who researches the health implications of climate change and the connections between the health care industry and climate, and is co-founder of the Rhode Island Medical Society Climate Change and Health Committee.

Fourteen years ago, Xin Qi joined the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine with a vision to bridge basic mitochondrial research with therapeutic development.

Today, that mission continues to drive her work as she investigates how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Qi focuses particularly on how mitochondrial protein and genome quality control influence metabolism, immune signaling, and cell survival during disease progression.

"Neurodegenerative diseases affect millions of people worldwide, yet we still lack treatments that can slow or stop disease progression," Qi said. "Mitochondrial dysfunction is a shared feature across many of these conditions, but it's an underexplored target for therapy."

As co-director of the Center for Mitochondrial Research and Therapeutics, Qi collaborates with faculty in the Departments of Neurosciences, Pharmacology, Genetics and Genome Sciences, and Pathology to uncover mitochondrial mechanisms underlying disease.

After encouragement from my parents, I applied to Disney. I thought it was crazy - until they accepted my application and hired me. It was a dream come true."

"I grew up going to Disney World and dreamed of one day working there."

- Katelin Johnson

Johnson chose Cedarville University because she admired Cedarville's mission and core values. During her four years - or 1000 Days - at Cedarville, Johnson embraced the values of "Love for God. Love for Others. Integrity in Conduct. Excellence in Effort." Now, she is preparing to carry those principles into her new role as a retail planner for consumer products at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

CHARLES DARWIN UNIVERSITY CAN REGIONAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS ACHIEVE ZERO WASTE STUDY REVEALS HOW

It is possible to create little to no rubbish from building construction in regional towns, but the chain of responsibility starts at the top with those commissioning a project needing to consider waste reduction from the planning stages.

New research by Charles Darwin University (CDU) academics explored the barriers to adopting a circular economy in construction projects in Alice Springs.

A circular economy is a system which aims to minimise waste and maximise resource efficiency by reusing, repairing and recycling products instead of sending them to the landfill.

Globally, building construction contributes about 30 per cent to total waste.

The research focused on using circular economy principles in the design and construction of a renovation project at CDU's Alice Springs campus.

The study, led by Senior Research Fellow Dr Deepika Mathur from CDU's Northern Institute, involved implementing the principles when commissioning the project, conducting interviews with the main stakeholders such as the project manager, architects and contractors, and monitoring the movement of the waste.

CLEMSON UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION INC.: FRUIT FLY STUDY SHOWS THE TOXIC EFFECTS OF CHRONIC ARSENIC EXPOSURE ON THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

Arsenic is often referred to as the "king of poisons" and the "poison of kings" because of its high toxicity levels and murderous use in the Middle Ages.

Arsenic is a major pollutant of groundwater in Asia and some areas of the United States andis still a big threat to human health today. It is a naturally occurring element found in soil and rock, but it can dissolve into groundwater and contaminate drinking water sources, particularly private wells. It can also be present in certain foods, especially rice, seafood and some fruit juices. headshot of Anurag Chaturvedi, a man wearing glasses and a dark suit in front of a dark backgroundAnurag Chaturvedi

More than 140 million people in over 70 countries across the globe, including the United States, are chronically exposed to arsenic in the environment with harmful physiological effects, including neurotoxicity.

Scientists at the Clemson University Center for Human Genetics conducted a comprehensive study to gain novel insights into the toxic effects of arsenic exposure on the central nervous system. The study is part of the international PrecisionTox consortium funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation program under Grant No. 965406.

Clemson is one of 15 international institutions - and one of only two in the United States - involved in the consortium, which is led by John Colbourne at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom. The consortium uses genetics, genomics, metabolomics and the study of evolution to investigate the toxicity of hundreds of chemicals and explore how they disrupt biological processes fundamental to health.

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY: WARRIOR-SCHOLAR PROJECT IS A GAME CHANGER FOR VETERANS PURSUING HIGHER EDUCATION

For many veterans, the transition from military life to academia can feel like entering a new world-one often filled with unfamiliar expectations, unstructured environments, and a different kind of discipline. For Marine Corps service member Chris Choe, coming to Columbia University for the Warrior-Scholar Project (WSP) Academic Boot Camp was more than just a preview of what college life might look like-it was a call to action.

"What initially drew me in was the idea of being able to get a taste of what attending a university like Columbia would be like to a service member," he said. Choe had hoped the program would replicate the rigor and rhythm of academic life. It did just that-and more. From lectures and discussions throughout the week-long program, Choe began to see the title of "warrior-scholar" not just as a symbolic label, but as a real identity.

Ice crystals in Earth's atmosphere sometimes align just right to create various striking visual effects, from a halo around the moon, to bright spots called sun dogs on either side of the sun in a winter sky, or a rainbowed pillar, called a crown flash, above a storm cloud.

Similar phenomena can appear in the skies over some exoplanets of the "hot Jupiter" variety, a common type of gaseous giant that always orbits close to its host star, Cornell astronomers have found. On WASP 17b, a hot Jupiter exoplanet, 10,000 mile per hour winds could align particles in clouds made of quartz and other crystalline mineral aerosols, creating conditions in which polarizing dust could interact with starlight in the same way aligned ice crystals interact with sunlight on Earth.

Fact-checkers may have a new tool in the fight against misinformation.

A team of Cornell researchers has developed a way to "watermark" light in videos, which they can use to detect if video is fake or has been manipulated.

The idea is to hide information in nearly-invisible fluctuations of lighting at important events and locations, such as interviews and press conferences or even entire buildings, like the United Nations Headquarters. These fluctuations are designed to go unnoticed by humans, but are recorded as a hidden watermark in any video captured under the special lighting, which could be programmed into computer screens, photography lamps and built-in lighting. Each watermarked light source has a secret code that can be used to check for the corresponding watermark in the video and reveal any malicious editing.

DUT RESEARCH PROFESSOR REVEALS STUDY ON HOW SHOPPING APP GAMES CAN DAMAGE RETAIL BRANDS

A new study led by Professor Thomas Dobbelstein, Honorary Research Professor at the Durban University of Technology (DUT) and Chairperson of the Board at the DUT Business School, has uncovered the surprising consequences of customer dropouts from gamified shopping apps.

Presented at the prestigious 2025 Global Marketing Conference (GMC) in Hong Kong last week, the research explores how customers react when they abandon games embedded in shopping apps, a tactic increasingly used by retailers to grab consumer attention and drive sales. Conducted in collaboration with Professor Stephan Zielke and Dr Kathrin Sinemus from the University of Wuppertal in Germany, the study revealed that when users exited these promotional games prematurely, it did not just lead to lost engagement, it actively damaged perceptions of both the app and the retailer.

"Retailers may believe that gamification automatically boosts customer engagement but the opposite can occur when users feel manipulated," said Professor Dobbelstein. "Our findings show that users who quit these games often develop negative attitudes toward both the app and the retailer itself."

The phenomenon was explained by reactance theory, which suggests that when consumers feel their freedom of choice is being restricted, such as by the perceived pressure to continue playing, they react with resistance or even aggression towards the source of that pressure. In this case, it was the app and the retailer.

ETH ZURICH ON TRACK TO PRODUCE BETTER LAB-GROWN BURGERS

Beef is growing in the Petri dishes of ETH professor Ori Bar-Nur, an expert in regenerative and muscle biology. However, he hasn't yet tasted the cultivated meat because human consumption requires official approval in Switzerland. However, Bar-Nur has colleagues who have participated in approved tastings of lab-grown beef. They describe the taste and consistency as being similar to that of real meat. After all, it is beef, the only difference being that no cow needs to be slaughtered in order to obtain it.

Bar-Nur and his team produce the meat in cell culture from bovine cells. They use precursor cells, known as myoblasts, that form muscle fibres. These cells can be obtained by taking a biopsy from a living cow. For their research, however, they isolated the cells from standard beef cuts: fillet, sirloin, cheek and flank.

ETH ZURICHA FULLY LIQUID EARTH'S CORE ALSO GENERATES A MAGNETIC FIELD

The Earth is fortunate in having a magnetic field: it protects the planet and its life from harmful cosmic radiation. Other planets in our solar system - such as Mars - are constantly bombarded by charged particles that make life difficult.

Scientists explain the generation of the magnetic field by the mechanism known as the dynamo theory. This states that the ongoing slow cooling of the liquid iron and nickel core drives circular currents of liquid material in the outer core known as convection currents. At the same time, the Earth's rotation deflects these currents, causing them to flow in a screw-like pattern. These convection currents generate electric currents, which in turn produce magnetic fields and thus most of the Earth's magnetic field.

However, the theory has a flaw: the Earth's core was completely liquid before the Earth's inner core crystallised - around 1 billion years ago. The question is whether the magnetic field could have been generated prior to this time.

EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY: A CENTURY-OLD PROMISE THATS CHANGING LIVES TODAY

The Enduring Gift of Walters Collegiate Institute From 1901 to 1906, Walters Collegiate Institute served the Richmond area as a bridge between Central University and the establishment of Eastern Kentucky State Normal School on the same location.

Many might be surprised to know that the Walters name and legacy lives on more than a century later, thanks to a scholarship fund for Madison Countians. A fund was first established in 1922 from proceeds from the sale of a final piece of land on what is now the campus of Eastern Kentucky University. For 102 years, per the Articles of Incorporation, monies were distributed to Madison County students in the form of no-interest loans. Recently, $407,821.22 was transferred to the EKU Foundation, and now the Walters Collegiate Institute Scholarship Fund will be tapped to award scholarships to students graduating from high schools in Madison County.

Walters Collegiate Institute (WCI) was founded by a group of Madison County leaders and named for Singleton P. Walters, a major benefactor of Central University, established in 1874, and the namesake of a residence hall on the EKU campus since 1967. Central merged with Centre College in 1901, relocating to the latter's campus in Danville.

ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE STUDYING COLLECTIVE BEE BEHAVIOR THANKS TO ROBOTICS

Cyril Monette is fascinated by collective behavior. Having studied how insects like cockroaches make collective decisions, the third year doctoral student in the EPFL's Mobots Laboratory is now turning his attention towards the very useful, and much less repulsive insect: the honeybee. And he's doing so with the help of robotics.

The bees inside of a hive naturally cluster into a volume the shape of a ball, at the intersection of the multiple frames of honeycomb inside of the hive. This ball-shaped configuration is likely optimal for the bees, yet observation hives developed by the scientific community study only one or two isolated frames at a time, forcing bees to occupy a flat disk instead.

"The isolated observation hive was built that way to allow for automated observation thanks to cameras or direct observation," explains Monette who would like to offer a way to study bee behavior in relation to honey stores but in an environment that respects their instincts for clustering in space. "Unless we provide an environment that allows the bees to behave naturally, the observations yielded can only approximate how intact and strong colonies behave."

ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE INTERFACING THE NERVOUS SYSTEM FOR REHABILITATION

If you've accidently cut yourself - a minor cut - then your body would likely heal itself by generating new skin cells at the wound in a phase of healing called proliferation. It's a whole other story if you cut off a body part. Unlike salamanders who can grow back their tails, we humans are unable to regenerate body parts, even relatively small parts like a finger. That's because the cells responsible for generating fingers, so-called stem cells, are only actively growing whole fingers during embryotic development.

Similarly, our bodies have a limited ability to heal damage to the nervous system because the stem cells responsible for growing a functioning nervous system are likewise only fully active in the embryo. If you were to zoom into parts of the nervous system, you would see a network of billions of interconnected cells called neurons, the fundamental building blocks of the nervous system responsible for transmitting electrical signals throughout the body. The number of neurons in the body peaks before birth, at roughly 86 billion units, and slowly declines throughout one's lifetime.

ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE HOW DNA PACKAGING CONTROLS THE "GENOME'S GUARDIAN"

Each cell in our bodies carries about two meters of DNA in its nucleus, packed into a tiny volume of just a few hundred cubic micrometers-about a millionth of a milliliter. The cell manages this by winding the strings of DNA around protein spools. The protein-DNA complexes are called nucleosomes, and they ensure that DNA is safely stored.

But this packaging into nucleosomes also poses a challenge: important cellular machinery must still access the genetic code to keep cells healthy and prevent diseases like cancer.

One of the most important proteins in our cells is p53, the "genome's guardian." It helps control cell growth, triggers repair of damaged DNA, and can even order faulty cells to self-destruct.

In many cancers, p53 is disabled or hijacked, so understanding how p53 works is vital for developing cancer therapies. But there's a problem: most of the DNA sequences that p53 targets are buried inside nucleosomes, making them difficult to reach. Scientists have long wondered how p53 can reach those "hidden" sequences to do its job, as well as how other proteins that interact with p53 manage to find it in this maze of chromatin.

ERASMUS UNIVERSITY ROTTERDAM: KEVIN SPIRITUS CRITICISES BELGIAN FEDERAL REFORM PLANS

The Belgian federal government, led by Prime Minister Bart De Wever, recently presented its ambitious summer agreement, with reforms in pensions, the labour market, and taxation. Belgian Kevin Spiritus, Assistant Professor at Erasmus School of Economics, is clear about it in an interview with the leading Flemish weekly Knack: 'Giving everyone 100 euros net more is completely irresponsible.'

Not a purchasing power problem, but a budget problem Spiritus, who lives and works in Rotterdam, is critical of the new government's budget policy. 'Right now, there's no purchasing power problem at all for the general population. The problem is that this government is handing out money that isn't there. That will only make the pain worse in a few years,' he says. According to Spiritus, Europe will eventually intervene if Belgium doesn't get its spending under control.

Spiritus also has reservations about the pension reform. He finds the so-called pension penalty, which imposes a 5% monthly reduction on early retirement, justifiable. 'But it becomes unfair when people with long and healthy careers are allowed to retire without penalty, while the chronically ill, who statistically have shorter lifespans, are doubly penalised.'

Cautious optimism about labor flexibility Spiritus's stance on labour market flexibility measures is more nuanced. He sees advantages in extending shop opening hours, as is already common practice in the Netherlands. 'I'm fine with supermarkets in Belgium being allowed to stay open until nine o'clock.' Yet, his overall assessment of the government's financial policy is scathing. 'The deficit needs to be reduced in a controlled manner, without drastic cuts, but right now we're heading in the wrong direction.'

According to Spiritus, fiscal hypocrisy is also on the table. He calls the new capital gains tax 'shambolic' and full of exceptions, such as the generous exemption for shareholders with a substantial interest. 'Belgium excels in favouring family businesses. Not because of economic logic, but because of lobbying. We don't even know who's at the negotiating table.'

RATTLERS WITHOUT BORDERS: FAMU STUDENTS REFLECT ON STUDY ABROAD OPPORTUNITY IN SPAIN

From the red clay of Tallahassee to the cobblestone streets of Salamanca, Spain, Florida A&M University students are expanding their horizons, literally.

Through study abroad programs offered by the university, Rattlers are learning more than just course content; they're discovering cultures, challenging their comfort zones, and building a global mindset.

Dyiamon Robinson, a second-year honors psychology scholar, studied abroad in Spain as part of a three-week summer program organized by the Honors Living-Learning Community (LLC).

While many study abroad opportunities are tied directly to students' majors, Robinson's program focused more broadly on cultural immersion and leadership development.

"I learned a lot about how to navigate different cultures," Robinson shared. "As someone planning to go into law, I'll be working with people from all backgrounds. Being able to adapt and understand different ways of life is something this experience really taught me."

A fantastic bird at the entrance to ancient quarries, an exhibition hall by the ruins of a garment factory, and a pedestrian pontoon bridge over the Volga River are just some innovative ideas from master's students of the Environment Design programme at the HSE Art and Design School, who presented their graduation projects to the local administration and developers in the city of Staritsa, Tver Region, on July 17.

After a brilliant defence at the university, the newly minted graduates returned to Staritsa to turn the ancient city into a new federal-level tourist attraction. The group, led by famous Russian architect Vladimir Kuzmin, made Staritsa the topic of their theses. They worked on the projects throughout the academic year-not just in theoretical terms but by immersing themselves in the city's life and conducting intensive field research. The students actively communicated with local residents, met with representatives of the administration and various communities, and explored parts of the city in different seasons.

HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM THIS TINY BRAIN NETWORK COULD HOLD THE KEY TO BEATING COCAINE ADDICTION

[Hebrew University of Jerusalem]- Cocaine addiction has long been understood as a tug-of-war between reward and restraint. The rush of dopamine keeps users hooked, while withdrawal triggers anxiety, depression, and despair. But a new study by researchers at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem reveals that it's not just the craving for pleasure-but the brain's aversion to pain-that plays a powerful role in relapse.

Led by Prof. Yonatan M. Kupchik and PhD student Liran Levi from the Faculty of Medicine, the study identifies a specific "anti-reward" network deep in the brain that undergoes lasting changes during cocaine use, withdrawal, and re-exposure. This glutamatergic network, located in the ventral pallidum, is emerging as a key player in addiction-and a promising target for future therapies.

HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM FOCUS IN FLASHES: HOW THE BRAIN HANDLES OVERLOAD

[Hebrew University of Jerusalem]- When you look at the world around you, it might feel like your eyes and brain work in perfect sync-taking in a smooth, continuous stream of information. But according to new research led by cognitive neuroscientist Prof. Ayelet N. Landau from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, that's not quite how the brain works. Instead, attention behaves more like a strobe light: flickering in and out at a steady rhythm.

In a new opinion piece published in Trends in Cognitive Sciences, Landau and her team-Daniele Re and Flor Kusnir-propose a bold reframing of how attention functions. Their theory, called "attentional sampling," suggests that our brains process the visual world in rapid snapshots roughly eight times per second. When forced to split attention between two objects, that rate drops to four snapshots per second for each.

This isn't just a quirk of perception. The researchers argue it's a fundamental solution to a deep problem for cognition and its neural implementation: competition.

HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM CRACKING THE CASE: NEW METHODS TO SOLVE COMPLEX WILDLIFE CRIMES

From poisoned vultures to poached gazelles, wildlife crime scenes rarely look like those on TV. But thanks to work by Dr. Gila Kahila Bar-Gal at Hebrew University's Koret School of Veterinary Medicine, the odds of catching environmental criminals just got better.

In a new study, Dr. Kahila Bar-Gal presents an innovative, integrative approach to wildlife forensics. Her work demonstrates how combining advanced genetic tools with local databases can asisst conservation authorities in solving even the most complex environmental crimes involving multiple species, both wild and domestic.

Wildlife crime is not a fringe issue. Ranked among the top five illicit global trades, it contributes directly to biodiversity loss and the decline of already endangered species. In Israel, that includes the critically endangered Eurasian griffon vulture and the mountain gazelles, all of which were central to the forensic cases examined in the study.

"When a vulture is found poisoned or a gazelle is killed out of season, you're not just looking for a suspect-you're often dealing with mixed evidence that may include multiple species, some protected, some not," explains Kahila Bar-Gal. "The only way to untangle it is through precise, multi-layered analysis."

Her research showcases three real-life cases involving illegal poisoning and poaching. Each required molecular genetic analysis, including species identification, population assignment, and matching individual samples against both global and local DNA databases. The goal: not just to identify the species, but to prove-beyond reasonable doubt-that a crime against wildlife was committed.

HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM TARGETING THE "UNDRUGGABLE": NEW MOLECULAR DEGRADERS OFFER HOPE FOR AGGRESSIVE BREAST CANCER

[Hebrew University of Jerusalem]- In the battle against aggressive breast cancer, a once elusive target is now within reach-thanks to a breakthrough from a team from the Faculty of Medicine at Hebrew University. Dr. Raphael Benhamou and M.Sc. student Liann Kassabri have developed innovative druglike molecules capable of degrading HuR, a key RNA-binding protein that stabilizes oncogenes and fuels cancer progression.

HuR (also known as ELAVL1) has long been labeled "undruggable" due to its structural flexibility and lack of a conventional active site. Overexpressed in many cancer types-particularly breast cancer-HuR fortifies malignant cells by protecting mRNAs that drive cell growth and survival. "We knew that simply blocking HuR wasn't enough," says Dr. Benhamou. "We needed to eliminate it altogether." Strikingly, this elimination led to a 3 to 4 order of magnitude improvement in anticancer properties compared to traditional HuR-binding molecules that do not induce degradation.

The research team turned to two cutting-edge therapeutic strategies: PROTACs (Proteolysis-Targeting Chimeras) and molecular glues. While both approaches harness the cell's own protein-disposal machinery, molecular glues stand out for their small size, favorable pharmacokinetics, and oral bioavailability-traits prized in drug development.

After synthesizing and testing dozens of candidates, one compound in particular-MG-HuR2-emerged as a front-runner. "MG-HuR2 not only met every major druglikeness criterion, it demonstrated powerful activity at ultra-low concentrations," says Kassabri. In breast cancer cell lines, MG-HuR2 reduced HuR levels by up to 85%, disrupted the expression of downstream oncogenes like Bcl2 and FOXQ1, and significantly inhibited cell proliferation, survival, and 3D tumor spheroid growth.

A striking feature of these degraders is their biphasic "hook effect." While activity drops off at intermediate doses-a known PROTAC quirk-the team discovered a rebound in efficacy at higher concentrations. This unique behavior, not previously observed, was further investigated through computational modeling, which revealed that it stems from the compounds' ability to engage two distinct RNA-binding pockets on HuR. This finding may open new avenues for targeting other dynamic RNA-binding proteins.

"The degradation pattern was unusual," explains Dr. Benhamou. "But rather than a flaw, it turned out to be a clue. Our degraders bind at multiple sites, giving them a broader reach and potentially more durable effects."

The implications are profound. Beyond breast cancer, HuR is implicated in various malignancies and inflammatory diseases. With MG-HuR2 and its peers, researchers now have a roadmap for developing drugs against a class of proteins previously thought beyond the reach of modern medicine.

This was followed by an exchange session conducted in English as a common language, during which students from both universities actively engaged in lively and open cross-cultural discussions.

In her lecture, Professor Katayanagi explained that although Hiroshima had experienced devastating destruction from the atomic bombing, the city chose to pursue peace rather than harbor hatred. She emphasized Hiroshima's locally driven approach to peacebuilding during its postwar reconstruction and highlighted the significance of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial City Construction Law, enacted in 1949. This legislation, she noted, not only enabled national support for reconstruction but also provided a shared vision for rebuilding Hiroshima as a city dedicated to peace.

HKUST RESEARCHERS PIONEER BREAKTHROUGHS IN LITHIUM-ION BATTERY RECYCLING TO ENHANCE CRITICAL METAL RECOVERY AND REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems, making efficient recycling crucial for sustainability. A research team led by Prof. Dan TSANG, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), has revealed a previously unrecognized atomic-scale mechanism that obstructs efficient LIB recycling. This breakthrough challenges long-standing assumptions and sets the stage for cleaner, high-yield recovery of critical metals used in LIBs.

Through advanced characterization and first-principles modeling, the research team found that aluminum (Al) impurities-which come from the mechanical disassembly of LIBs during the recycling process-penetrate NCM (nickel-cobalt-manganese) cathode crystals and restructure the cathodes' internal chemistry. This triggers the formation of ultra-stable aluminum-oxygen bonds, immobilizing valuable metals and suppressing the metals' leachability, making extraction more difficult, especially in acidic solvent systems commonly used in hydrometallurgy (the use of water-based solutions to extract metals).

Overlooked Impurities, Underrated Impact: Aluminum as a Hidden Barrier to Recycling For decades, the presence of aluminum in spent (i.e. used) LIBs has been considered an operational nuisance or a minor issue-now, it has proven to be a mechanistic disruptor that can significantly hinder recycling efforts. The HKUST researchers discovered that during the mechanical disassembly of LIBs, residual aluminum foil can infiltrate NCM (nickel-cobalt-manganese) cathode crystals through frictional contact, subtly but profoundly altering the cathodes' internal chemistry.

Using advanced microscopy and density functional theory (DFT) modeling, the team found that aluminum atoms selectively replace cobalt, forming highly stable aluminum-oxygen bonds that anchor lattice oxygen and suppress the release of critical metals like nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), and manganese (Mn) during leaching, making them harder to extract in recycling.

THE POWER OF INSPIRATION: HOW MISS BLACK UNITED STATES ILAHI CREARY'S JOURNEY FROM HOWARD TO HARVARD LED TO A CROWN

A 2022 graduate of Howard University, Ilahi Creary (B.A. '22) was recently crowned Miss Black United States 2025 - becoming the first Black woman representing Massachusetts to win a national title across any pageant system. "There's only been two national winners across pageant systems from Massachusetts, both in the early 2000s," explained Creary. "And there have been Black Miss Massachusetts, but never a winner representing the state on the national level."

The honor was one that meant a lot to Creary, who got her start in pageants while she was an undergraduate at the university. "I won Miss Black and Gold for Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated Beta Chapter, and that was my first introduction to pageantry," she explained. "I kind of fell in love with it a little bit." That experience illuminated what having a platform can do to elevate one's message.

ITMO UNIVERSITY: ITMO SCIENTISTS CREATE WORLDS SMALLEST SILICON LIGHT SOURCE

Gadgets are prone to heat up from overuse; remember what happens to your smartphone when you watch one too many videos or play games for too long. The problem, nevertheless, can be solved with light particles, photons. In optical systems, photons serve the same function as electrons in devices. However, they release far less heat energy - and additionally facilitate faster logical operations as opposed to electrons.

For a switch to optical computing, electronic devices based on integrated circuits need to be replaced with their optical analogs. The problem is that practically all devices today need silicon to work - this material is used in most elements for data collection, processing, and storage because it is relatively cheap and durable. Silicon has become a backbone of some optical systems; although it has never been deemed popular as a light source. All this is due to its low quantum efficiency - the difference between the number of photons absorbed and the number of photons emitted.

ITMO researchers found a way to increase the material's quantum efficiency by 10,000 times (from 10-7 to 10-3) by developing a metasurface that "traps" photons and "holds" them in silicon-filled areas. These structures are created using gold lithography. This metal was chosen because it doesn't actively interact with air, has low absorbance in the visible light range, and is convenient to use in such structures. Gold lithography is performed as follows: a periodic array of gold cylinders is formed on a gold film with gaps between the cylinders and the film; then, these gaps are filled with silicon.

Hi Akib! Let's start from the beginning. What sparked your interest in digital urban studies?

Growing up in Nigeria, I saw firsthand how challenges like traffic, poor housing, and haphazard planning affected people's lives every day. Over time, I became fascinated by how cities function and how they could function better. That's what drew me to digital urban studies: the chance to apply data, technology, and smart design to solve real urban problems in a sustainable way.
