Why? Getting back on track with studies can be challenging and evoke a wide range of emotions. Often, we may know how we should act, but putting ideas into practice may be easier said than done. By learning together and sharing experiences, we can take small steps towards a smoother course of studying.

What? The workshops examine the elements that support the progress of studies, such as time management, study motivation and getting things done. There will also be a chance to share study-related feelings and search for one's own resources and fuel for the studies. If you need other support or advice on questions related to returning to studies, we will help you find the right services.

ADMINISTRATORS OF THE TULANE EDUCATIONAL FUND: STUDY: AS TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY RISE, SO DO EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS FOR HEART CONDITIONS

Extreme heat can be hard on your heart. As temperatures rise, the heart pumps faster to move blood toward the skin to cool the body. This added strain on the cardiovascular system can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, especially for those with existing heart conditions.

The danger can spike dramatically when combined with high humidity, according to a new study from Tulane University that found the risk of visiting the emergency room for a heart-related issue is six times higher during extremely hot and humid days.

The study, published in Science of the Total Environment, analyzed more than 340,000 emergency room visits for heart-related issues in Dhaka, Bangladesh, a city characterized by intense heat and humidity, from 2014 to 2019. Researchers modeled these visits against historical temperature and humidity data. While heat alone increased the risk of a heart-related emergency by 4.4% on low-humidity days, the risk jumped to 26.7% on the most humid days when relative humidity topped 82 percent.

ASTON UNIVERSITY: VICTIMS OF 'ENFORCED DISAPPEARANCES' FACE UNIQUE MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES, SAYS DR ANIS AHMED

Dr Anis Ahmed, clinical lead in psychiatry at Aston Medical School, has co-written an article looking at the mental health challenges for the victims of 'enforced disappearances'.

This is defined by the UN as "the arrest, detention, abduction, or any other form of deprivation of liberty by state agents, or those acting with state approval."

Together with his co-author, Professor Andrew Forrester, professor of forensic psychiatry at Cardiff University, Dr Ahmed says that the psychological trauma of victims and their families is under-researched. There is, therefore, no clear guidance for mental health professionals treating them. The authors say that there is a "dire need" to develop evidence-based treatments, and that addressing the "therapeutic void" is "not just a clinical necessity but a moral imperative."

Enforced disappearances are a globally significant human rights violation, affecting thousands of people across the globe. Historical examples include the 'Dirty War' in Argentina (1976-1983), where 30,000 people went missing, while in Syria now, tens of thousands of people are missing due to state repression and conflict.

Families of those who have disappeared live in a state of what is known as "ambiguous loss", with a prolonged state of uncertainty in which they are unable to grieve or move forward, often suffering chronic depression and anxiety and, in some cases, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Traditional grief therapy assumes a confirmed death, and the social and cultural rituals that follow that, which allow for mourning and closure. However, in cases of enforced disappearance, these conditions are absent. Families are left in a painful limbo, trapped between hope and despair, with no closure. Conventional grief models fail to address the unique psychological suffering caused by prolonged uncertainty and ambiguous loss.

Victims who return also face unique challenges. As well as the psychological aftermath of prolonged captivity and torture, they struggle with trust, hypervigilance and shame. Reappearance can attract unwanted attention, suspicion and social stigma.

Dr Ahmed and Professor Forrester acknowledge the significant challenges in conducting research and developing the appropriate mental health guidelines. Fear acts as a powerful barrier, not only for victims, who may remain silent due to threats of reprisal or renewed targeting, but also for mental health professionals, who may hesitate to engage fully out of concern for their own safety. Even with assurances of medical confidentiality, many are only willing to speak openly after the fall of an oppressive regime, obstructing efforts to uncover the full extent of harm and delaying the development of effective, culturally appropriate treatments.

They say that the first step towards developing the necessary guidance is a study to map the prevalence and psychological impact across different regions. The second step should be developing and testing targeting treatments.

AUGUSTA UNIVERSITY: AU RESEARCHERS STUDYING THE WAY CELLS TALK TO UNLOCK NEW TREATMENTS

Researchers from Augusta University's College of Science and Mathematics have broken new ground in cell signaling.

Paul Langridge, PhD, an assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences, published a paper on mechanosensitive proteins in drosophila, more commonly known as fruit flies, in Science Signaling, a peer-reviewed public access journal with a 7.3 impact factor accessible around the world. The paper also has contributions from students in the Langridge Lab, including four master's students and two undergraduates. Cover of the June 2025 issue of Science Signaling, featuring an image of a developing fruit fly with sections highlighted in bright red and green, signifying bio-fluorescence.

Langridge's research focuses on how cells communicate with each other. Much of his work involves the Notch receptor, a protein found on the surface of every animal cell that connects to nearby cells to make sure they divide correctly. When the Notch receptor binds to a cell, it pulls at it to send a signal.

Peoria City Council continued their initial discussions about allowing a tiny home shelter village to be built in the city in hopes of addressing the needs of the unhoused population.

First proposed in June, council members discussed adjusting the building code to allow tiny homes within city limits at their meeting on Tuesday night.

The proposal describes a transitional housing village of about 30 tiny homes for those experiencing homelessness to occupy before they find permanent housing. Those homes would be around 70 square feet, climate controlled, and share a communal bathroom and kitchen space in a separate, centrally located building.

The Dream Center would operate the village with 24/7 supportive staff members. Center leaders estimated that the project would cost $900,000 to build the homes. The city previously used American Rescue Plan funds for homelessness projects and support, but that money will run out at the end of the year.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF ILLINOIS STATE UNIVERSITY: INSURANCE AGENT: CENTRAL IL COLLEGE STUDENTS RENTING APARTMENTS SHOULD HAVE A PROTECTION PLAN

As college students settle into those apartments for the year, insurance companies are emphasizing the importance of having renters insurance.

State Farm Insurance agent Dan Pfeifer said getting renters insurance is important, because even the smallest valuables add up. He said there are mainly three types of protections most companies offer.

One type of protection is personal property, which covers things like laptops, iPads, shoes, clothes, and furniture. The second is liability, when someone comes over and slips, trips, or falls.

The third thing to cover is loss of use, in the event of a fire, tornado or flooding, and usually insurers would pay for you to live somewhere else if that were to happen.

"The things that are going to drive the premium are things like how much personal property are you taking," said Pfeifer. "It's also how much liability protection do you want? I would say, on average, renters' insurance could be $10 to $15 per month. We ran one plan yesterday that was $18 a month. We ran another one today that was $16 per month."

U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries made a stop in Springfield one day before keynoting a breakfast with Illinois Democrats. Jeffries, Sen. Dick Durbin, Rep. Nikki Budzinski and Sen. Tammy Duckworth visited Springfield groups to gather feedback about President Donald Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill." Senators believe public pressure and a strong 2026 election by Democrats could force Congress to undo parts of the bill.

This summary was written by the reporters and editors who worked on this story.

SPRINGFIELD - Illinois Democrats brought some of their biggest names to Springfield Tuesday to call attention to the massive cuts that will take effect in the coming years for programs that benefit low-income communities.

At one event, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin and U.S. Rep. Nikki Budzinski hosted the Democratic leader of the U.S. House, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, for a roundtable discussion at a Head Start school to talk about cuts to early childhood education and the food assistance program known as SNAP.

And at a separate event, Durbin joined Sen. Tammy Duckworth at a Springfield hospital to call attention to the impact health care providers will experience from cuts in federal funding for Medicaid.

Those cuts, along with a package of tax cuts, were all included in a massive domestic policy bill that the Trump administration pushed through Congress last month known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act."

"It's going to be a tough election for this president because he took the wrong approach when it came to the big and beautiful bill," Durbin told reporters at the Head Start program. "The American people do not want to see us cut back in the fundamentals in health care, in services of hospitals, to give tax breaks to the wealthiest people."

(AP) - President Donald Trump is taking a new look at reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug in a move that could nudge the federal government closer to an approach already embraced in many states.

Trump said Monday that he hopes to decide in the coming weeks about whether to support changes to the way marijuana is regulated. The renewed focus on marijuana comes more than a year after former President Joe Biden's administration formally proposed reclassifying marijuana. No decision was made before Biden left office.

Meanwhile, many states have already gone further than the federal government by legalizing the recreational use of marijuana for adults or allowing it for medical purposes. What's the federal policy on marijuana?

Possessing marijuana remains a federal crime punishable by fines and prison time. Selling or cultivating marijuana is a more serious offense, punishable by prison sentences of five years to life, depending on the quantity of the drug.

Rising Bridgewater State University seniors Anna Connor and Haiden Powers traveled to Philadelphia last semester to present their undergraduate research at the College English Association Conference. According to Ann Brunjes, professor of English and department chairperson, this was sort of a unique situation.

"It's unusual for undergrads to present at professional conferences in our field," Brunjes said.

Encouraged by English Professor Benjamin Carson, Anna and Haiden decided to participate and found it to be less intimidating than they initially worried.

"This was my first time presenting at a conference. I thought it was going to be terrifying. I didn't have fears that people would be mean, but was worried about our depth," Haiden said. "But what we found were people were unpretentious; everyone was normal and nice."

Anna appreciated the experience and the knowledge gained from the conference panels.

"I think I asked a question at every single one, I was more comfortable asking questions than I thought I would be. It was a really great environment," she said.

For Anna's presentation, her love of Edith Wharton led her to discover the author's The Glimpses of the Moon.

such as the Impossible Burger - are becoming more common, and those who try them say they are actually quite good. And while companies are pouring billions into making PBAs taste just like their meat counterparts, they still aren't catching on. So what's the hold-up?

A new study by BYU professor Jonathan Kershaw and his colleagues finds that people avoid Impossible Burgers and other PBAs because they're just not ready to give up what they know - a juicy meat patty at a summer barbecue.

"Meat has a lot of cultural significance," Kershaw said. "Would you serve a plant-based burger at a barbecue? People might question: 'What are you serving this for?'"

Kershaw's team surveyed adults in the US about their food preferences regarding PBAs. Participants were provided the image and ingredients for both the PBAs and the meat they imitate and asked how likely they were to buy the PBA. While the survey confirmed that taste was one of the driving factors of PBA avoidance, it also identified personal and cultural value as key reasons why people avoid PBAs.

In the village of Munsel-Ling in the Spiti region of India, the construction of two new playgrounds for local school pupils was officially launched at the end of July. The project, titled JUGAAD, is implemented by the non-profit organization Himalayan Patron, which coordinates the construction - one in collaboration with builders from Europe, and the other with the local community. Representatives from the Faculty of Civil Engineering at Brno University of Technology are also involved in the project.

The student team from the Faculty of Civil Engineering knows what a children's playground is - but they had no idea how difficult it is to build one in a remote village where you can't simply run to a hardware store for a drill. The local workers, on the other hand, know what can realistically be built with the materials and tools at hand, but have little idea what a playground is or how it should work. The construction and related activities involve a team of five students - Katarina Tannhauserova (Environmental Buildings), Nikol Krasna (Civil Engineering - Building Materials and Technologies), and Hanus Suchanek, David Fabera, and Ondrej Kreuzman (Civil Engineering). The construction must be completed within 12 days, with each team limited to a maximum budget of CZK 80,000.

Millions have read the opening line of George Orwell's dystopian novel "1984": "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen."

But far fewer readers are aware that the author initially wrote it as: "It was a cold blowy day in early April, and a million radios were striking thirteen."

That revision and many others are handwritten on Orwell's original manuscript of the 1949 novel, housed in the Brown University Library's special collections at the John Hay Library. Students and scholars alike can glean insights into the author's writing process by studying the artifact, which is thought to be Orwell's only surviving manuscript, according to Head of Special Collections Instruction Heather Cole.

25 civil servants from 15 departments across government have been selected for the 2025 programme - up from just nine last year. Of those, 5 have been matched with researchers at Brunel, working together on live policy challenges in areas including machine learning, AI, and biosecurity.

Run by the cross-government Open Innovation Team (OIT), the Policy Fellowship offers part-time mentoring support from academic experts to help civil servants answer a specific policy question over the course of six months. Fellows are matched with mentors from the OIT's five partner universities: Brunel University of London, the University of Essex, Lancaster University, the University of Surrey and the University of York.

Dr Cigdem Sengul, Reader in Computer Science at Brunel, is supporting a fellow from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) on the AI-driven modernisation of the assessment process for Common Health Entry Documents (CHEDs) related to imports.

CARNEGIE MELLONS HACKING TEAM WINS FOURTH STRAIGHT, RECORD NINTH OVERALL DEF CON CAPTURE-THE-FLAG TITLE

Carnegie Mellon University's Plaid Parliament of Pwning (PPP), the winningest team in DEF CON's

Capture-the-Flag (CTF) competition history, won its fourth consecutive title, earning its ninth victory in the past 13 years.

PPP joined forces with CMU alumnus and University of British Columbia Professor Robert Xiao's team, Maple Bacon, and hackers from CMU alumni startup Theori.io

(The Duck), playing under the name Maple Mallard Magistrates (MMM).

DEF CON's three-day flagship competition, widely considered the "Olympics" of hacking, brought together some of the world's most talented cybersecurity professionals, researchers and students, as 12 of the world's top teams - who qualified from a field of more than 2,300 teams - attempted to break each other's systems, stealing virtual flags and accumulating points while simultaneously protecting their own systems.

As the number of cybersecurity attacks continues to increase worldwide, competitions like DEF CON's Capture-the-Flag provide the opportunity for leading cybersecurity engineers to measure up against one another, learning and developing new techniques as they work through various challenges.

CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY: POSTDOC OF THE MONTH: WILLIAM NOURSE

William Nourse's interest in machines inspired by nature took hold when he watched Jurassic Park as a child. The animatronic dinosaurs were Nourse's earliest exposure to engineering.

As an undergraduate student majoring in mechanical and aerospace engineering at Case Western Reserve University, he found inspiration in nature.

Early in his college studies, Nourse came to realize even simple animals, such as insects, are far more sophisticated than state-of-the-art robotics.

Now a postdoctoral researcher at Case Western Reserve, Nourse found a fitting home in the Biologically Inspired Robotics Laboratory, working under the direction of Roger Quinn, Distinguished University Professor and the Arthur P. Armington Professor of Engineering at Case School of Engineering.

Nourse's research is at the intersection of neuroscience, neuromorphic computing and robotics. He studies the sensory and motor nervous systems of species across the animal kingdom to uncover models that could help solve challenges in robotic navigation, legged locomotion and context-dependent decision-making. He then creates computational models from his findings to apply them to robotics and investigates the fundamentals of computation in the nervous system.

Case Western Reserve University's close proximity to world-class healthcare facilities is a draw for many students considering careers in medical settings. That was true of Rae Dwyer, who arrived on campus as an undergraduate student in August 2019.

Now a second-year student in the Master of Science in Genetic Counseling program at the School of Medicine, Dwyer is taking full advantage of the opportunities available. This summer, she's interned at MetroHealth with rotations in prenatal, cancer and cardiovascular clinics.

"The experience helped me grow more confident in my counseling skills and broadened my perspective on the role genetic counselors can play across different specialties," she said.

Dwyer has come a long way since she first learned about genetics through Punnett squares in middle school, a lesson that sparked her interest in the subject. Her interest deepened after a shadowing experience with a prenatal genetic counselor in high school.

CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY: BREAKTHROUGH DISCOVERY SPARKS NEW HOPE FOR BREATHING RECOVERY AFTER SPINAL CORD INJURIES

Today about 300,000 people nationally living with a spinal cord injury and with respiratory complications being the most common cause of illness and death, according to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.

But the results of a new study, led by researchers at Case Western Reserve University's School of Medicine, show promise that a group of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord-called interneurons-can boost breathing when the body faces certain physiological challenges, such as exercise and environmental conditions associated with altitude.

The researchers believe their discovery could lead to therapeutic treatments for patients with spinal cord injuries who struggle to breathe on their own. Their findings were recently published in the journal Cell Reports.

"While we know the brainstem sets the rhythm for breathing," said Polyxeni Philippidou, an associate professor in the Department of Neurosciences at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and lead researcher, "the exact pathways that increase respiratory motor neuron output, have been unclear-until now."

The research team included collaborators from the University of St. Andrews in the United Kingdom, the University of Calgary in Canada and the Biomedical Research Foundation Academy of Athens in Greece.

Christine Duval's work begins where most people stop looking: in the overlooked, the discarded, the waste.

At Case Western Reserve University, Duval leads a lab focused on designing materials and processes that purify rare and valuable metals-especially those used in cancer treatments, clean energy and national defense. Her team's research helps address a pressing issue in the U.S.: many of these critical materials, which are essential for everything from advanced batteries to medical isotopes, are currently sourced from outside the country.

Duval's goal is to help secure domestic supply chains by recovering those metals from waste.

Her research spans multiple projects, including building tools to extract isotopes used in cancer treatment and prototyping 3D-printed separation process units. These efforts are often driven by interdisciplinary collaborations-with Argonne and Brookhaven national laboratories among her key partners. Many of those relationships began during her time as a graduate student, a U.S. Department of Energy fellow, or guest speaker at national labs.

Researchers from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK)'s Faculty of Medicine (CU Medicine) have revealed that a moderate intake of fermentable carbohydrates, also referred to as FODMAPs[1], significantly enhances the efficacy of metformin, a first-line drug that prevents individuals with prediabetes from developing type 2 diabetes. This drug-food combination lowered post-meal blood sugar levels and improved gut microbiota. These results underscore the importance of more personalised nutrition to complement drug interventions. The findings from this research, conducted in collaboration with CU Medicine's School of Pharmacy and Monash University, Australia, have been published in the internationally renowned journal Nature Metabolism.

CHRISTOPHER NEWPORT UNIVERSITY: PRINCETON REVIEW NAMES CNU ONE OF THE NATIONS BEST COLLEGES

Christopher Newport has made the list - again!

Calling Christopher Newport a "welcoming community," the Princeton Review has again ranked the University as one of the nation's top institutions for undergraduates.

The annual ranking is based solely on student reviews obtained by the Princeton Review. Student respondents praised Christopher Newport for having the "most supportive network any student could ask for" and "super optimistic and outgoing people who love to get involved in organizations both on and off campus."

In addition to the "Best College" ranking, the University was singled out for having one of the "Best Health Services" in the nation (No. 22).

Christopher Newport's rankings appear in the education services company's latest survey of 170,000 students, published in its annual report, the 2026 edition of its annual college guide, "The Best 391 Colleges: 2026 Edition." Princeton Review's unique approach of using only student responses stands apart from many other rankings that rely heavily on institutional data and peer evaluations.

Ever thought what it would be like to be a beekeeper? Or are you a beekeeper hobbyist looking for some added training?

The Clemson Apiculture and Pollinator Program is offering a hybrid training course called Basics of Beekeeping, a training for new and aspiring beekeepers.

Ben Powell, Clemson Apiculture and Pollinator Program coordinator, will present six live lectures online twice a week as well as hold in-person field days to allow participants to get hands-on training in a bee yard.

"It really is a thorough course to get somebody started in beekeeping," Powell said. "We encourage folks, especially with the new challenges that we're facing related to pests and diseases, to take the course. Last winter, we had one of the most significant honeybee colony losses reports ever reported. Nationwide, I think the colony loss rates were about 62%. This course is updated every year to make sure we're presenting the latest information on these pests and diseases and the technologies and equipment for managing them."

The lectures will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-8 p.m. from Aug. 26 through Sept. 10. There will be three field days held in different parts of the state - Clemson, Florence and Charleston - to make it convenient for participants to attend.

Registration for the training is $80 and closes Aug. 22. It is open to anyone interested in beekeeping. Participants will receive the presentation notes, the training text ("Storey's Guide to Keeping Bees," 2nd Edition) training materials, lunch and refreshments at the field day and other giveaways.

CLEMSON UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION INC.: FROM REACTIVE TO PROACTIVE: RESEARCHERS PROVE SUCCESS IN AIDING SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO SUPPORT STUDENTS WITH EMOTIONAL, BEHAVIORAL NEEDS

As a trained school psychologist, Lakia Johnson-Drayton knows that educators can have difficulty identifying factors that influence student behavior, especially those students with a disability. Johnson-Drayton serves as assistant director for the Department of Exceptional Children in the Charleston County School District, and she has spent years addressing those behaviors and supporting educators and other professionals who work with students every day.

Educators often consider behavior a choice, when students might "act out" because they don't have the tools to communicate or regulate their emotions. It's one thing to address these behaviors successfully on a case-by-case basis, but Johnson-Drayton said it's an entirely different level of challenge to create supports that do this for an entire school district, especially one the size of Charleston. She and the district had seen success, but she and other leaders knew they could do more to address behavioral issues more efficiently.

The Clemson Health Clinic at Walhalla welcomes Christina Smith, '19, as new family nurse practitioner

Christina Smith, MS, APRN, FNP-BC, '19, is bringing her passion for rural health care back to her hometown of Walhalla, South Carolina. A Clemson University graduate and seasoned nurse practitioner, Smith has joined Clemson Rural Health (CRH) as the newest provider at the Clemson Health Clinic at Walhalla (CHCW).

Smith's journey with Clemson Rural Health began during her nurse practitioner training, when she completed a clinical rotation at CHCW - the very clinic where she now serves patients. CHCW is one of three primary care clinics operated by Clemson Rural Health across South Carolina and is deeply rooted in Clemson University's land-grant mission to improve access to care in rural and underserved areas.

After earning her Master of Science in Nursing from Clemson in 2019, Smith completed a competitive family practice fellowship at Lexington Medical Center. Her time working in rural Batesburg, S.C., further solidified her commitment to serving medically underserved communities.

Over the last five years, Smith has gained comprehensive experience across the state - and now, she is returning to her roots, both personally and professionally.

"Stepping into my role at CHCW feels like coming home," Smith said. "I was born here, raised a family here, and now I am proud to care for the people I have known and loved all my life. I work alongside a collaborative team that values this rural community as much as I do."

CLEMSON RESEARCHERS DECODE CORNS CHEMICAL FINGERPRINTS TO PINPOINT GENES DRIVING LEAF AGING

When corn leaves fade from green to yellow, it's not just for appearances.

Yellowing marks the moment a plant stops capturing sunlight, starts redirecting precious nitrogen to developing kernels and other organs and, if this shift happens too early, produces less grain.

New research into corn function and genes has the potential to dramatically impact future food security in a time of shrinking resources. Headshot of man wearing a blue shirt and glasses.Rajandeep Sekhon

Tracking diverse varieties of corn plants from flowering until they yellowed and died, scientists at Clemson University identified nearly 200 leaf metabolites, plant molecules that form "chemical fingerprint" of leaves, and more than 50 genes that drive metabolic changes as the plant ages.

The study - led by Department of Genetics and Biochemistry Associate Professor Rajandeep Sekhon and recent Ph.D. graduate Manwinder Singh Brar - found that staygreen lines, which retain leaf greenness longer, amass antioxidant flavonoids that shield tissues from damage. Conversely, quick-yellowing lines pile up sugar alcohols and free amino acids that signal protein breakdown.

Disabling just two of the newly flagged flavonoid genes caused leaves in both maize and the model plant, Arabidopsis, to yellow faster, Brar said.

After that tour, she knew Clemson was the place for her, and when she arrived as a first-year student in the fall, that feeling stayed with her. Potter had always loved math, and so she knew a career that involved that subject was a good option for her. She also knew she wanted to major in something that would allow her to develop a specific skill set that she could take with her into the professional world. An early visit to the career center helped her figure out that accounting was the perfect fit. Memories for a lifetime

CLEVELAND STATE UNIVERSITY: KEVIN MUELLER AND JOHN VAN STAN RECEIVE NEW NSF AWARD

Dr. Kevin Mueller and Dr. John Van Stan, both members of the Department of Biological, Geological, and Environmental Sciences (BGES), have been awarded $672,505 over three years for their project, "Modeling the mysterious flow of rainwater and nutrients through urban tree canopies: a laser-focused integration of hydrology and ecology."

Tree canopies have large surface areas that interact with rainfall to affect the quantity and quality of stormwater runoff in cities. For example, trees can redirect some rainfall back to the atmosphere via evaporation of water that gets 'stuck' on leaves or branches (known as interception), or into soils by funneling rainfall down their trunks (known as stemflow). These flow pathways can prevent rain from pouring directly onto pavement, overloading storm-sewers and carrying pollutants into rivers.

The funded research will focus on ~30 tree species located in an arboretum near Cleveland, Ohio. The research team will use terrestrial laser scanning and other methods to measure varied characteristics of canopy form, like leaf waxiness, leaf and branch angles, bark roughness, and the surface area of leaves and branches. Hydrological measurements beneath each tree will quantify canopy interception (rainfall that doesn't reach the ground), stemflow (rainfall draining down trunks with a greater chance of infiltration into soils), and throughfall (rainfall dripping through canopies that may 'land' on impervious surfaces and 'run off'). The amount of nutrients in stemflow and throughfall will be monitored to inform how trees mediate the flow of airborne nutrient pollution into soils and stormwater systems.

COLORADO SCHOOL OF MINES: GEOFF BRENNECKA NAMED DEPARTMENT HEAD FOR METALLURGICAL AND MATERIALS ENGINEERING

Geoff Brennecka has been named department head for Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at Colorado School of Mines.

A member of the Mines faculty since 2014, Brennecka is the George S. Ansell Chair of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. He previously served as a Ben Fryrear Endowed Chair for Innovation and Excellence from 2018 to 2021. His appointment as department head began July 1.

"I'm excited to head this department, because we already work with a lot of people across campus and I think there are a lot more opportunities for cross-campus collaboration," Brennecka said. "We need to continue to do what we're good at and show everybody why our work matters - the Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Department has a really strong reputation within our field, but the nature of materials science in general is that it's just not that well known, so we need to remind engineers across disciplines that all the materials they're using are also engineered."

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY: CANNABIS PRODUCTS AT UNLICENSED SHOPS LACK SAFETY LABELS, USE KID-FRIENDLY PACKAGING

A new study led by researchers at Columbia University reveals that cannabis products sold in unlicensed retail shops in New York state often lack required health and safety labels and many feature colorful, cartoon-like packaging attractive to youth.

New York state prohibits the sale of cannabis products in unlicensed shops and to people under age 21.

"This study reveals a serious gap in regulation that puts consumers at risk," says Ryan Sultan, assistant professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. "We need coordinated action at both the state and federal levels to ensure cannabis product safety and to rein in misleading packaging. "

In New York state, licensed cannabis retailers are required to disclose the potency and quality of each product, 'use-by' dates, number of servings in the package, and health warnings. Retailers are also prohibited from promoting cannabis products for medical purposes and marketing cannabis products to minors.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY: RESEARCHERS IDENTIFY KEY BIOMARKERS FOR CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME

When cells expire, they leave behind an activity log of sorts: RNA expelled into blood plasma that reveal changes in gene expression, cellular signaling, tissue injury and other biological processes.

Cornell researchers developed machine-learning models that can sift through this cell-free RNA and identify key biomarkers for myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The approach could lead to the development of diagnostic testing for a debilitating disease that has proved challenging to confirm in patients because its symptoms can be easily confused with those of other illnesses.

The findings were published Aug. 11 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The lead author is Anne Gardella, a doctoral student in biochemistry, molecular and cell biology in the De Vlaminck Lab.

The system embeds a compact air pump into a shoe to compress and direct airflow into a storage pouch, which then releases that air to drive a miniature wind turbine. Tolliver's work involves designing a method and hardware to harness the air and direct it to the turbine efficiently.

Inside the turbine, magnets are arranged in a specific pattern along with coils of wire. When the turbine spins, the motion of the magnets relative to the coils generates electricity. The electricity is routed to a capacitor, which is worn by the user and connected directly to a device that needs power.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY: IMPLANT TREATS TYPE 1 DIABETES BY OXYGENATING INSULIN-PRODUCING CELLS

Cornell researchers have developed an implant system that can treat Type 1 diabetes by supplying extra oxygen to densely packed insulin-secreting cells, without the need for immunosuppression. The system could also potentially provide long-term treatment for a range of chronic diseases.

The findings were published Aug. 11 in Nature Communications. The co-first authors were former postdoctoral researcher Tung Pham and doctoral candidate Lora (Phuong) Tran.

The technology builds off previous implantable encapsulation devices developed in the lab of Minglin Ma, professor of biological and environmental engineering in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) and the paper's senior author.

Ma has explored a variety of ways to address Type 1 diabetes, in which the body's immune system turns hostile and destroys insulin-producing pancreatic cell clusters, known as islets. Without insulin, the body has no way to deliver glucose - sugar - into muscle and tissue cells to generate energy. People with Type 1 diabetes typically manage the disease through daily insulin injections or insulin pumps, but even with that treatment, patients still suffer devastating effects of the disease.

COVID-19 prevention methods such as masking and social distancing also suppressed the circulation of common respiratory diseases, leaving young children lacking immunity to pathogens they otherwise would have been exposed to, a new multicenter clinical research study reveals. The investigators say their findings help explain the large post-pandemic rebound in these diseases and enable more accurate predictions for the future.

The study, published Aug. 6 in The Lancet Infectious Diseases and funded by the National Institutes of Health, followed 174 children under the age of 10 from 2022-23 across four academic medical centers across the country: Weill Cornell Medicine; University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and Children's Hospital Colorado; University of North Carolina; and the University of Alabama, Birmingham. Through repeat blood sampling and respiratory sampling during illness, the investigators gauged the children's level of immunity to many common and emerging respiratory viruses, such as RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), influenza and enterovirus D68 (EV-D68), which can cause the polio-like illness acute flaccid myelitis.

A native of Argentina, Dr. Alonso started medical school at age 17 enthusiastic about medicine but unsure about what specialty to practice, recalled his son, Daniel R. Alonso, an attorney at VedderPrice in New York City and an adjunct professor of law at Cornell Law School. During his medical education at the National University of Cuyo, Dr. Alonso, one of the few in his class who was fluent in English, was assigned to be the interpreter for a visiting American Fulbright Scholar, Dr. Charles Sherman, a pathologist from the University of Rochester.

Nick, an expert in rock and mineral deformation and geochronology, and Will, Director of Curtin's John de Laeter Centre, joined us for our latest podcast episode, The Future Of Planetary Defence. Here's a snippet of their fascinating conversation. What is planetary defence?

Nick: There's quite a big list of potentially hazardous asteroids in space. These are near-Earth objects in our solar system that have Earth-crossing orbits, or at least come very close to Earth.

Planetary defence involves identifying these potentially hazardous asteroids and near-Earth objects, understanding them, and then mitigating their risks.

Once we identify a potentially hazardous asteroid, our goal is to redirect it, or nudge it out of the way, so it doesn't cause a problem for life on Earth as we know it.

DUKE UNIVERSITY: IN 'PLUS' PROGRAMS, STUDENTS DIVE PRESSING ISSUES

Last month, historic, intense rainfall by Tropical Depression Chantal triggered flash flooding in Durham and the surrounding Triangle region.

The storm left streets underwater, prompting boat rescues in Durham County after the rainfall caused the banks of the Eno River to overflow.

While the Triangle did not report any fatalities like the death toll in Kerr County, Texas, including the tragedy at Camp Mystic, the flash flooding nonetheless gave rise to safety concerns among Triangle residents.

STUDENTS LEAD THE WAY AT DUTS TRANSFORMATIVE CONVERSATION

The Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) in collaboration with the Student Services Unit at the Durban University of Technology (DUT) recently hosted a Student-Led Conversations Programme at Ritson campus hall in Durban. Themed The DUT We Want: Leveraging Our Agency to Foster the DUT Way "Nothing for Us Without Us," the event brought together students, staff, and university leadership in a powerful dialogue aimed at shaping DUT's future through active student participation.

The purpose of the event was to create a reflective and collaborative space for students to share their personal journeys and lived experiences at DUT over the past six months. It served as a platform for open and honest dialogue about the challenges and opportunities that impact student success, with the goal of promoting a more holistic understanding of academic, emotional, and social well-being. Through these conversations, the university aims to explore how it can better support students in achieving their full potential and in co-creating a university environment that reflects their needs, dreams, and aspirations.

Dean of Students at DUT, Dr Clement Moreku welcomed attendees and expressed his appreciation for the student-led conversations. He noted that even if the dialogue resulted in just one or two transformative student-led initiatives supported by the institution, it would mark significant progress. He described the gathering as an opportunity for reflection, connection, and meaningful action. Emphasising the importance of student engagement, he encouraged students to rise with purpose, discover their voices, and become a united force in building a more inclusive and transformative university community. Referring to the theme of the day, Dr Moreku reminded students that this was not just a vision, but a challenge for everyone to think critically about the kind of university they want to shape and leave behind for future generations. He reiterated that the core of the discussion was rooted in DUT's shared values and long-term vision, ENVISION2030, which promotes stewardship, social responsibility, systems thinking, and sustainability.

Siphamandla Asanda Mbatha, a third year Bachelor of the Built Environment in Construction Studies (Quantity Surveying) student from the Durban University of Technology (DUT) visited Umzilikazi Senior Secondary School, Newcastle in July 2025 as part of the UNI4ALL Programme supported by the DUT Community Engagement.

The initiative aims to assist grade 12 learners in applying for tertiary education, particularly through online platforms. UNI4ALL not only supports learners with university applications but also provides DUT students with resources to offer career guidance and assist learners making informed decisions.

Mbatha, who hails from a rural area of Vryheid KwaNtabakhulu describes himself as someone passionate about helping others and breaking boundaries. "I love trying new things, especially those that seem impossible in my surroundings. I believe I was born for greater things, and that is why my mind is always searching for new ideas," he said.

Though this was his first time participating in the UNI4ALL Programme, Mbatha has been assisting learners in his community with university and college applications since enrolling with DUT in 2023. He explained the challenges many rural learners face: "Many learners in my area don't know what they want to study after matric. Instead, they want to find work. One of the biggest barriers is access to internet data and the knowledge required to complete online applications. This often leads to incomplete or error-filled submissions."

ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE THE ARCHITECTURAL LANGUAGE OF EASTER ISLAND

When people think about Easter Island, it's probably for its majestic moai stone sculptures. It's certainly not for the small community that lives there, although the island's 8,600 residents face particularly challenging living conditions: volcanic soil that's been stripped bare by deforestation, gusting winds and some 120,000 tourists who flock to the island each year.

Scientists at EPFL's Laboratory of Construction and Architecture, headed by Prof. Paolo Tombesi, have been studying Easter Island since 2018 for exactly these reasons. It offers a perfect microcosm for examining the various stresses on an isolated region that has limited resources and that's dependent on Chile administratively and on tourism for its economy.

For her PhD in architecture, Chloe Joly-Pottuz researched construction methods, and in particular those for timber structures. She spoke with the island's residents to see how their experience from the recent past could be used to shape new approaches. She also looked at ancient living structures such as hare paenga, which were built during the same period as ahu, or the ceremonial stone platforms on which moai statues were erected, probably between 1200 and 1600. As part of her research, she made three trips to Easter Island, including to the Puku Manu Mea interpretive center at the Vaihu archeological site in the southern part of the island. Within the center, researchers have built a replica of an ancestral village.

Emory's Atlanta campus will have an increased police presence throughout the weekend. Officers from the Emory Police Department and the Georgia Tech Police Department will be patrolling as an added safety measure.

7:58 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 9, 2025

Dear Emory Community,

We write this morning to update you on the shooting that transpired adjacent to our Atlanta campus yesterday afternoon.

At approximately 4:50 p.m., multiple law enforcement agencies were notified of a "shots fired" call at Emory Point, an apartment and retail complex bordering Emory's Atlanta campus. An "active shooter" emergency alert was distributed campus-wide almost immediately asking everyone to shelter in place. Emory Police Department officers were among the first law enforcement personnel to respond, where they encountered and engaged a lone active shooter on Clifton Road across from the main entrance to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As far as we know based on all available information, no Emory Police Department officers and no other members of our Emory community were physically injured.

Tragically, in addition to the shooter, DeKalb County Police officer David Rose lost his life in the line of duty. Officer Rose responded heroically, and our hearts mourn with the officer's family and his fellow officers. His sacrifice for our community will not be forgotten.

We would like to express our overwhelming gratitude to the local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies and officers who responded to this call. Their swift response enabled a well-coordinated, multi-agency team to confront a threat and keep our community safe. We send our thanks to the Atlanta Police Department, the DeKalb County Police Department, the Georgia State Patrol, and the Fire & Rescue teams who responded. This is what these officers - including Emory's own police officers who confronted the shooter - are trained to do. In putting themselves in harm's way to keep each of us safe, they put our community first with incredible bravery and selflessness.

ERASMUS UNIVERSITY ROTTERDAM: SPORT ECONOMIST THOMAS PEETERS: 'THE BIG MONEY IS SHIFTING IN FOOTBALL'

Sport economist Thomas Peeters, Associate Professor at Erasmus School of Economics, stated on 11 August in the NPO Radio 1 broadcast Geld of je Leven that new transfer rules will not cause the big money to disappear from football. According to him, the consequences for Dutch clubs are moreover 'less dramatic than many people think'.

The reason for the possible new regulation is a ruling by the European Court of Justice in a case brought by former footballer Lassana Diarra. The Court ruled that the current transfer regulations do not comply with labour and competition law. The problem lies in the often skewed ratio between a player's salary and their release clause. For Dutch clubs, these buyout fees often form an important revenue model: they develop talent or buy players cheaply from smaller leagues in order to sell them on at a profit to richer clubs in the major competitions, such as in England and Spain. Impact of new transfer rules smaller than expected

Sport economist Thomas Peeters emphasises that the impact on Dutch clubs is probably smaller than thought. Foreign top clubs often buy players a little too early, for example at the age of 22, because at a later age they are more expensive or more difficult to sign. These players then regularly end up on the bench or are loaned out while awaiting their development. If transfer fees decrease, the incentive for this early buying will partly disappear.

Moreover, it is mainly the larger Dutch clubs that profit from the buying and selling of players; smaller clubs earn considerably less from it. Whether the abolition or limitation of transfer fees will lead to a more level playing field, Peeters finds difficult to predict.

He states: 'The big money in football will not disappear.' Clubs have relatively few other major expenditure items: besides stadium costs and marketing, the largest part of the revenue, some 60 to 70 per cent, goes to players' salaries. If transfer income falls away, that budget will simply shift. 'It is more a transition from transfer fees to wages,' Peeters says.

FLINDERS UNIVERSITY: STIGMA SILENCES THOSE WITH HEARING LOSS

One in three adults over 50 are keeping their hearing loss a secret, often because they fear being judged.

A large-scale international research program has found that hearing loss is still linked to stereotypes about ageing and disability, which can stop people from seeking help.

The special issue of the International Journal of Audiology, featured eight research papers reporting results that explore how stigma affects adults with hearing loss, their families, and the professionals who support them. Dr Katie Ekberg from the College of Nursing and Health Sciences

Led by Dr Katie Ekberg from Flinders University and Professor Louise Hickson AM from The University of Queensland, the study highlights the emotional and social toll of hearing loss and why it's time to talk about it.

Around 3.6 million Australians live with some level of hearing loss. It's not just about missing sounds-it can lead to low self-esteem, loneliness, memory problems, and even depression.

Nearly 60% of people with hearing loss said others had laughed at or joked about their hearing difficulties, leaving them feeling uncomfortable and frustrated. Many choose to hide their hearing loss, which can make things worse.

FAMU MECHANICAL & AEROSPACE ENGINEERING PROFESSOR NAMED ROYAL AERONAUTICAL SOCIETY FELLOW

Farrukh Alvi didn't have a grand plan when he stepped into the engineering world. His first undergraduate goal was to pursue nuclear engineering, mostly because "it sounded so cool." But his mechanical engineering classes, especially in fluid mechanics, proved intriguing. He followed that curiosity, eventually leading him to a supersonic wind tunnel in graduate school, where the visual beauty of high-speed flows sparked a lifelong passion for aerospace.

Now, a newly named fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society, or RAeS, Alvi's journey is a testament to his decades-long career in aerospace and the power of curiosity and commitment to impact.

"It's an honor to be named an RAeS Fellow, but I plan to continue doing what I've always done: working with curious and creative students, solving problems and building programs that matter," said Alvi, the Don Fuqua Eminent Scholar and Professor of Mechanical Engineering and the Senior Associate Provost for Strategic Initiatives and Innovation at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering.

FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY: BUILDING PRESCHOOLERS STEM SKILLS IS CHILDS PLAY

If you're looking for ways to support your child's learning before he or she even enters a classroom, new research from FIU offers an answer that's backed by science and surprisingly simple: puzzles, blocks and spatial words.

Spatial reasoning -the ability to visualize how shapes and objects move or fit together - is one of the strongest predictors of later success in math, science, engineering and even reading. And the earlier it develops, the better the foundation for future STEM learning.

This is at the center of the new findings from researchers at the Center for Children and Families, published in Infant and Child Development. They discovered that children as young as 3 years old use the same mental strategies as adults to solve spatial puzzles. In other words, preschoolers aren't just guessing or copying. They're mentally rotating whole objects in their minds with surprising speed and accuracy.

"We now know young kids don't just get the right answer-they're often using the same mental tools as adults," said Karinna A. Rodriguez, lead author and FIU doctoral student. "That tells us we can start supporting these skills much earlier than we thought-through toys, play and everyday conversations."

Researchers from Georgia Tech have created a material inspired by seashells to help improve the process of recycling plastics and make the resulting material more reliable.

The structures they created greatly reduced the variability of mechanical properties typically found in recycled plastic. Their product also maintained the performance of the original plastic materials.

The researchers said their bio-inspired design could help cut manufacturing costs of virgin packaging materials by nearly 50% and offer potential savings of hundreds of millions of dollars. And, because less than 10% of the 350 million tons of plastics produced each year is effectively recycled, the Georgia Tech approach could keep more plastic out of landfills.

More than 30 faculty, staff and administrators from the four colleges and the Division of Enrollment, Marketing and Student Success participated in Basecamp to teach classes and allow students to establish points of contact for growth opportunities throughout their time at Georgia Southern. Laying the groundwork for student success is at the heart of the program.

GONZAGA UNIVERSITY: "THIS IS SOMEBODY'S REAL LIFE"

If you hop on Highway 2 and head west from Spokane for about 80 miles, through golden wheat fields, along rocky cliffsides and finally winding down toward the Columbia River, you'll find yourself in Grand Coulee.

It's a little less than a two-hour drive from Spokane, but the landscape, the population size, and, most importantly, the access to health care, could not be more different.

"If I wake up sick in Spokane," says Kendall Scipio-Shepherd ('26), "I just know I'm going to Sacred Heart or Deaconess and they're going to give me what I need, and I'm going to be fine. But it's not that way in Grand Coulee. A patient could be dealing with a chronic condition and travel a good distance to reach a rural clinic and they can only hope to receive the treatment they need."

Scipio-Shepherd is one of two students researching alongside Professor Sarah Matousek this summer at the Coulee Medical Center. Matousek is an assistant professor of public health at Gonzaga and teaches at the University of Washington School of Medicine's campus in Spokane, one of several joint faculty with the UW-GU Health Partnership. She's helped Scipio-Shepherd and Emma Swenson ('27) embark on their first research project starting in spring 2025 and continuing through the summer.

A new Houghton Library exhibition - "The Punched Card from the Industrial Revolution to the Information Age" - on view in the library's lobby through the end of the summer, traces the technology's history through three works: a book from 1886 woven entirely with a punched card loom; the writing of mathematician Ada Lovelace on the punched card's computer capabilities; and a 1940s manual on using a punched card computer.

For decades, neuroscientists have known that these tasks require a cluster of brain areas known as the basal ganglia.

With heat waves becoming more intense and frequent across the U.S., experts gathered for a Harvard webinar on how to protect children's health amid soaring temperatures.

"Extreme heat is really one of the most dangerous but also one of the least recognized threats to healthy development," said Lindsey Burghardt, chief science officer at Harvard's Center on the Developing Child, which hosted the talk.

According to Burghardt, extreme heat has been linked to premature birth, low birth weight, disruptions in sleep and learning, and negative effects on mental health.

Outdoor playgrounds can turn into miniature heat islands - areas that increase dangerous heat even more. Jennifer Vanos

"These outcomes are really important for us to understand," she said. "Because they have immediate effects in childhood, but they also have the ability to have effects and impacts across children's lifetimes. This makes intervention just so important."

The Environmental Protection Agency defines extreme heat days as those in which outside temperatures exceed 95 degrees Fahrenheit. It also encompasses periods in which temperatures fail to drop, even at night. According to EPA statistics, these types of heat waves are becoming more frequent and severe.

Human beings can juggle up to 10 balls at once. But how many can they move through the air with their imaginations?

The answer, published last month in Nature Communications, astonished even the researchers pursuing the question. The cognitive psychologists found people could easily imagine the trajectory of a single ball after it disappeared. But the imagination couldn't simultaneously keep tabs on two moving balls that fell from view.

Letting raw emotion drive financial decisions sounds like a recipe for disaster. But Jennifer Lerner, the Thornton F. Bradshaw Professor of Public Policy, Decision Science, and Management at the Kennedy School, found that anger turned out well, at least for men, in a computerized gambling game.

Lerner and National Institutes of Health scientist Rebecca Ferrer (a former student) co-led a set of experiments using the Balloon Analog Risk Task, in which participants earn more money each time they add air to a virtual balloon, but lose it all if they go too far and burst the balloon.

When males were primed for anger, they took bigger risks and walked away with fatter wallets than did neutral-emotion males or angry females. Unlike previous studies that demonstrated causal effects of anger on lowering risk perceptions and reducing the likelihood of taking protective actions among males and females, these experiments focused on actual risk-taking behavior - revealing that anger drove bolder bets, primarily among men.

Desperate for the first glimpse of the then-mysterious planet, they bought a box of Rembrandt soft pastels from a nearby art store, pinned the incoming numerical data to a wall, and colored by number each pixel, using a color-code system with brown representing the darkest sections of the image and yellow the brightest.

HKUST TEAM ADVANCES PLANT GENE REGULATION WITH GHR MOTIF DISCOVERY

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are tiny RNA molecules that regulate gene expression by controlling messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and are critical for various biological processes, including development, stress responses, and epigenetic regulation. In plants, the enzyme DICER-LIKE 1 (DCL1) processes miRNA precursors into mature miRNAs, and mutations in DCL1 can lead to developmental issues like delayed flowering and abnormal leaves, making its precision essential for plant growth. A research team led by Prof. NGUYEN Tuan Anh from the Division of Life Science at HKUST has recently made significant strides in understanding miRNA biogenesis by developing a groundbreaking massively parallel dicing assay to investigate human DICER, which functions similarly to plant DCL1.

ITMO UNIVERSITY: ITMO'S MONDAY SCIENCE ROUNDUP #85

What do optical computers need most? Naturally, more light! This is a gross oversimplification, of course, but it speaks to a real challenge in computer science and photonics - the development of powerful and compact light sources. And researchers at ITMO's Faculty of Physics have made a breakthrough in the field: they've produced a metasurface that boosts that light-emitting properties of silicon by 10,000 times.

Curiously, this isn't the only time this month that something's been made 10,000 times better! Researchers at the university's Infochemistry Scientific Center have come out with a new type of composite material that amplifies the strength of Raman spectroscopy signals. This invention solves a key issue related to the assessment of chemical materials and their composition. In practical terms, the material can be applied in production of engine oils and pharmaceutical products.

As more businesses begin to embed AI systems in their internal and external processes, cybersecurity experts face a new category of vulnerabilities and exploits. To patch some of these faults in new tech, a group of Master's students from ITMO University have established a startup called HiveTrace. Their self-titled product is the first Russian-made system capable of protecting AI systems from 70% of the most common threats. Pilot testing of the software is expected to commence in the near future.

ITMO UNIVERSITY: ITMO PHD STUDENTS TRAIN ALGORITHMS TO COUNT CELLS IN MICROALGAE IMAGES WITH COMPUTER VISION

Researchers from ITMO University have developed a new method for automated assessment of microalgae cell concentration in a solution based on microscope images. Unlike other popular neural networks, this method uses classic computer vision algorithms and doesn't require training data. The new

can be launched on a standard PC and can determine cell concentration in a sample in 30 seconds instead of the usual 30 minutes, with accuracy equal to manual calculation. This algorithm will facilitate environmental studies and improve their accuracy.

Microalgae are actively used in the food industry, cosmetology, pharmaceutics, for cleaning water reservoirs, and as an alternative energy source. These raw materials are harmless for humans and the environment. At ITMO, ecologists study the promising applications of Chlorella vulgaris, one of the microalgae species.

To cultivate microalgae on an industrial scale, it is necessary to determine the optimal conditions and medium for their cultivation. One of the most important indicators of growth and division of cells is their concentration. This marker reflects how many cells are present in one milliliter or gram of a substance, making it possible to compare different samples and identify the reasons for an increase or decrease in the number of cells. It is calculated manually using a method developed in the 20th century with the help of a Goryaev counting chamber - a marked microscope slide.

ITMO UNIVERSITY: STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: ANNA NAUMCHIK, BELARUS

Hi Anna! You're studying at ITMO. What first sparked your interest in this field, and what keeps you motivated today?

I've always loved the exact sciences, but I often felt they lacked a creative spark. That's why business informatics became the perfect fit. It lets me combine my analytical mindset with my artistic side. I get to solve structured problems while designing elegant solutions, whether it's optimizing processes or visualizing data in ways that tell a story. On one hand, I enjoy the precision of coding or system analysis; it's like solving a puzzle. On the other hand, I love that this field allows me to think outside the box.

ITMO has been an amazing place to explore this duality. The projects here push me to merge technical skills with imaginative thinking, and collaborating with diverse teams constantly opens new perspectives.

You led the Belarusian delegation at ITMO's Culture Fest. What was that experience like for you?

One word - amazing! All of the delegations were so dedicated, polite, and authentic. I was delighted to share Belarusian customs and traditions with ITMO's community. We hosted a beautiful masterclass on making dolls from wool and linen. In Belarusian folklore, these dolls are believed to ward off misfortune and bring prosperity to the home. Watching everyone craft their own guardians with such care was truly heartwarming. I hope these handmade protectors bring their owners happiness, health, and good fortune.

IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY: MARRIAGE RATES AND OUTCOMES: WHATS EDUCATION GOT TO DO WITH IT

In recent decades, a curious trend in the collective relationship status of Americans has emerged: When education levels rise in the U.S., the nation's marriage rates fall. Quick look

Marriage rates have now reached historic lows in the United States, especially among young people. At the same time, college education levels have increased considerably. Are these trends related? New research from an Iowa State University economics professor has identified a causal link between education and marriage - but it's a nuanced one.

At first glance, it might seem like higher learning has been cutting in on marriage and stealing more than one dance. But when Iowa State University researchers took a closer look, they discovered the story is a bit more complicated. While broad patterns show education is delaying when Americans marry, recent data across populations also reveals that people with more education are often more likely to be married.

KING'S COLLEGE LONDON NEW CANCER DRUG BOOSTS EFFECTIVENESS OF CHEMOTHERAPY - EVEN IN RESISTANT TUMOURS

A groundbreaking cancer drug could enhance how patients respond to chemotherapy even in treatment-resistant tumours.

The drug works by disarming a key defence mechanism that tumours use to protect themselves from treatment. In preclinical models, it has already shown promise in making chemotherapy-resistant cancers more responsive to therapy.

Chemotherapy is one of the most widely used cancer treatments, but it doesn't always work as effectively as hoped. One major reason is that a specific group of the body's own immune cells act as a barrier around tumours. These white blood cells known as macrophages surround the blood vessels inside tumours and act like gatekeepers, blocking helpful immune cells from entering and doing their job in supporting the responses to chemotherapy.

Researchers at King's College London have designed an 'interactional fingerprinting' method that creates a unique identity of individual samples. By mimicking humans' sense of taste and smell, the method can create a qualitative snapshot of the material without relying on inaccessible gold-standard measurement machinery manned by teams of specialists.

In a landmark study, published in Epilepsia and funded by the Epilepsy Foundation of America, researchers demonstrated that seizures can be tracked in the home environment, giving clinicians access to data that could have a dramatic impact on the way in which epilepsy is treated in the future.

Tracking epileptic seizures over time is challenging and relies upon a person keeping a subjective diary. It is an unreliable format, as people with epilepsy can experience seizures without realising, due to impairment of consciousness and memory loss, or might misinterpret several symptoms as seizures when they are not.

This is particularly important for those with treatment resistant epilepsy, who have ongoing seizures despite treatment with anti-seizure medication - known to occur in around a third of people with epilepsy.

KING'S JOINS 4.7 MILLION PROJECT TO MODERNISE FORENSIC DNA ANALYSIS

The goal of the Forensic Methylation Analysis Toolsets (ForMAT) project is to develop a new generation of forensic tools based on DNA methylation, a natural chemical process that affects how DNA behaves as we age. The project brings together 11 institutions across Europe, including universities, forensic laboratories and police authorities, to help solve crimes, identify disaster victims and assess the age of asylum seekers.

Dr Ballard continued: "We look forward to working with our European partners over the next 4 years to enhance our ability to determine the chronological age of individuals across a range of applications."

Unlike traditional DNA profiling, which focuses solely on identity, DNA methylation can reveal additional information - such as a person's age and lifestyle. It can even describe where a sample originates from, including an individual's skin, blood or saliva. These insights have the potential to significantly expand the usefulness of DNA evidence in forensic science.

As part of the project, researchers will develop four new DNA methylation 'kits' that will improve forensic science across a range of areas. This includes aiding investigations in unsolved criminal cases - so called 'open cases' - helping to identify human remains in disaster or missing persons cases, and assessing the legal age of asylum claimants without using X-rays.

Taiwan's future remains precarious due to intensifying geopolitical tensions, internal vulnerabilities, and strategic ambiguity-regardless of whether the U.S. and China escalate their conflict or not. In this article, Kerry Brown, Professor of Chinese Studies explains why. Taiwan DPP election rally

Taiwan has often compared itself to being a "shrimp between two whales". That expression has never been more apt than today with the US and China - which considers Taiwan to be part of its territory - locked in a standoff over the future of the island.

At an event I attended some years ago, a Chinese scholar remarked when the issue of the US-China rivalry came up that they believed there was an African saying: "When two elephants are either having a fight, or making love, the grass around them gets trampled."

It was best for everyone, they advised the other attendees, for the two superpowers to have a workmanlike, unexciting relationship rather than take the risk of things getting too friendly or hostile.

But whether or not the current period of conflict continues or the US and China magically become more aligned, the challenges facing Taiwan are severe.

A study led by researchers from King's College London and Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust has found that the Basophil Activation Test (BAT) is more accurate than standard allergy tests for detecting cow's milk allergy in children, and could reduce the need for oral food challenges in allergy diagnosis.

The BAT 2 milk study, funded by the UKRI Medical Research Council (MRC), looked at the accuracy of BAT in identifying cow's milk allergy compared to two routinely used allergy tests - the skin prick test and specific IgE measurement - in 150 children undergoing oral food challenges to cow's milk. The team found that BAT was more accurate at identifying children who reacted to oral food challenges than the skin prick or specific IgE tests, particularly in children under 2 years old. The results also showed that the use of BAT as a standalone test could reduce the need for oral food challenges, which are currently used in the clinic to confirm diagnosis.

Although BAT is not yet routinely used in clinical practice, the researchers believe that wider adoption of the test - which is also about five times cheaper to perform than an oral food challenge - could transform the diagnosis and management of cow's milk allergy.

In June, four LMU students traveled to rural Guatemala to co-lead a weeklong entrepreneurship program designed to help women farmers build sustainable, community-rooted businesses. Their mission: to equip participants with the tools, mindset, and confidence to grow and market their organic food production using the resources already at their fingertips.

In partnership with ViviendasLeon, a nonprofit dedicated to eliminating rural poverty in Central America, and under the mentorship of Professor Alex Glosenberg and Nola Wanta, the students designed and delivered a seven-module curriculum grounded in storytelling, visual learning, and hands-on activities. The goal was to foster creative thinking, cultivate self-reliance, and help the women turn local challenges into business opportunities.

Before the workshops began, students Gabe Ramirez, Alexandra Schaper, Alexander Villanueva, and Alexis Wyant visited participants in their homes to conduct interviews and better understand their individual needs. These candid conversations revealed not only the daily struggles these women face, but also their hopes for what entrepreneurship could bring: independence, empowerment, and a stronger future for their families.

MAASTRICHT UNIVERSITY MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES URGENTLY NEED TO ADDRESS LIFESTYLE

Mental health services need to increase investment in lifestyle interventions to improve care and narrow the 15-year life-expectancy gap for people with mental health conditions, according to a new report by The Lancet Psychiatry Commission. Interventions focusing on exercise, diet, sleep, and smoking cessation are essential to mental health care, not optional extras, the report says. Produced by a team of 30 authors from 19 countries, the report builds on a 2019 Lancet study showing that people with mental health conditions have their lives shortened by 13 to 15 years, mainly due to preventable illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Lifestyle 'Our lifestyle influences the course of both our physical and our mental health,' says co-author Jeroen Deenik, a researcher at the Mental Health and Neuroscience Research Institute at Maastricht University. Many people with mental health conditions face obstacles to staying active, maintaining a healthy diet, sleeping properly or giving up smoking. These difficulties can make mental health problems worse and contribute to physical illness.

'When it comes to lifestyle, the focus is often on changing individual behaviour. But precisely for people with mental health conditions, what's needed is systemic change that provides lasting support for health and wellbeing,' Deenik says. 'They are more often and more severely affected by barriers beyond their control - such as stigma, side-effects of medication, and limited access to appropriate support. Yet they are the people who stand to benefit the most, given that lifestyle affects not only their physical health, but also their mental wellbeing and recovery.'

MAASTRICHT UNIVERSITY ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE SOLUTION: STUDENTS HELP WITH COLD CASE RESEARCH

Through the International Cold Case Analysis Project (ICCAP), Maastricht University offers students the opportunity to gain practical experience in analysing real unsolved cases. For Isis van Cruchten, a recently graduated master student in Forensics, Criminology & Law and Law, this project was a perfect match with her interest in cold cases. By participating in the ICCAP, she not only developed her research skills, but also contributed to police investigations.

Isis' interest in cold cases arose during her European Studies bachelors. 'During that period, all kinds of true crime series appeared on Netflix,' she says. 'Think of Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes that was released in 2019.' These and many other (documentary) series about true stories captivated many viewers. For Isis, however, the fascination for true crime went just a little further than for other fans of this genre. 'In 2020, I worked on a cold case for the first time through Bureau Dupin. This is a collective that works on a cold case together with the police. After that, I ended up at the International Cold Case Analysis Project through an internship at Locate International. I liked it so much that after my bachelor's degree, I started the master's degree in Forensics, Criminology, and Law and worked on the project a total of three times.'

AMBER Alert Europe and ICCAP AMBER Alert Europe works throughout Europe to bring missing or abducted children back home safely. Within ICCAP, the focus is on discovering new evidence in unsolved criminal and disappearance cases. This is done in collaboration with police officers, researchers and students from universities around the world.

Unique collaboration The International Cold Case Analysis Project is organised annually and is one of the elective courses in the English-language Master's program Forensics, Criminology and Law. This project has been offered in collaboration with AMBER Alert Europe since the 2023-2024 academic year. The elective course Project Cold Case (formerly Gerede Twijfel) has been offered in the Dutch version of the Master's program for some time now. Students from the various universities study a real cold case and present their recommendations after the project. 'This project was set up by Karsten Bettels within the Police Academy Lower Saxony and eventually ended up under the umbrella of AMBER Alert Europe,' Isis explains. 'The main goal of the project is to give students the opportunity to gain practical knowledge. In addition, you help to look for new possibilities in a cold case.' For the time being, the ICCAP students only deal with German cases. 'We look at cases that are currently pending. If we can provide concrete indications or make recommendations, the German police may be able to work on them.'

MASSEY UNIVERSITY OPINION: HOW DO SCIENTISTS ESTIMATE CROWD SIZES AT PUBLIC EVENTS - AND WHY ARE THEY OFTEN DISPUTED

On Sunday August 3, tens of thousands marched across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in support of Gaza. But exactly how many people were there depends on whom you ask.

Police put it at about 90,000. Organisers claimed up to 300,000. Other reports and expert estimates landed somewhere in-between.

Why are these accounts so different and how hard is it, really, to estimate the size of a crowd?

Why people care about crowd sizes It's far from the first time crowd numbers have been a flashpoint.

The most infamous modern example is US President Donald Trump's 2017 inauguration, where aerial photos and transit data clashed with claims from the White House officials and Trump himself, sparking controversy.

In New Zealand last year, the Hikoi march to parliament triggered a similar debate as vastly different estimates circulated.

Crowd size matters for several reasons - from symbolic significance to safety implications.

MASSEY UNIVERSITYGROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH AMPLIFIES DISABLED VOICES TO PREVENT VIOLENCE IN MARGINALISED COMMUNITIES

Led by Professor Mohan Dutta and a team from Massey University's Centre for Culture-Centered Approach to Research and Evaluation (CARE), the research, co-designed with community advisory groups, draws from 77 in-depth interviews with predominantly Maori and low-income disabled individuals to explore the systemic roots of violence and the community-led paths forward.

Disabled people remain significantly overrepresented as victims of family and sexual violence, yet are often omitted from research, communication campaigns, policymaking and law-making processes. The study reveals how disability is not just an individual condition but a deeply structural, intersectional phenomenon shaped by erasures that strip away agency, especially for Maori who bear a disproportionate burden.

The study reveals local strategies emerging from participants themselves: approaches that counter communication inequality and root prevention efforts in community realities, rather than defaulting to top-down models.

Inside the Glass Cage draws on a Marsden Fund-supported research project led by Te Kunenga Ki Purehuroa Massey University academics Associate Professor Suze Wilson, Professor Rochelle Stewart-Withers and Professor Sarah Riley, along with independent scholar Dr Tracey Nicholls. The exhibition uses quotes from interviews with women in politics, journalism and academia to explore the personal, professional and political consequences of online hostility. The exhibition runs from 14 to 18 August at Te Auaha Gallery in Wellington.

Dr Wilson says the exhibition highlights the viscerally felt, real-world effects of misogynist and racist abuse and threats.

"We wanted to move beyond statistics and show how this hostility impacts women emotionally, physically and professionally, and to make visible the resilience and courage they display in continuing to lead."

Wilson said the work challenges the idea that online abuse is somehow 'less real' simply because it happens in a digital space. The women who participated in the research often described feeling under constant hostile surveillance, with their leadership and authority actively undermined.

MSU STUDY FINDS PRINT WINS OVER DIGITAL FOR PRESCHOOLERS LEARNING TO READ

A new MSU study shows that simple, hands-on activities, such as writing letters and pointing out words in daily life, are the most effective way to build early reading skills. Both children with and without speech and/or language impairments experienced literacy gains from print-related activities; however, only children with typical learning development experienced benefits from shared book reading. All children who spent more time on literacy games, both digital and analog, scored lower on early reading assessments. The findings challenge the idea that more exposure to learning games always helps, raising important questions for parents, educators and developers about which strategies best support early literacy.

When it comes to teaching preschoolers their ABCs, sticking with the basics might just be more effective. Despite the rise of digital tools and educational games, learning to read still begins with simple, hands-on work, such as writing letters and spotting words in everyday life.

New findings from Michigan State University researchers suggest that some popular approaches for learning may not be as practical as parents think. Preschoolers who played more literacy games scored lower on reading assessments, while those engaged in print-focused activities saw the most significant gains.

The study, published in the Journal of Research in Reading, was led by professors Lori Skibbe and Ryan Bowles in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies at the College of Social Science, as well as Nick Waters, a former postdoctoral researcher. Funding was supported by the U.S. Department of Education and the National Institutes of Health.

MSU STUDY REVEALS CONSUMER CONFUSION OVER 'MADE IN USA' LABELS

There is very little peer-reviewed research on consumer perceptions of "Made in USA" claims. Such research can help inform better public policy and advertising regulation that align with consumer expectations. Many consumers misunderstand what "Made in USA" labels actually mean, which can lead to misplaced trust due to potentially deceptive marketing and advertising.

Many consumers assume that products labeled "Made in USA" are almost entirely manufactured domestically, but supply chains tell a more complex story.

Take a car, for example. While the engine, transmission and body of the car might be built and assembled in the U.S., the electronics might be manufactured in Japan, the steering system in Mexico, and the raw materials used might be from Canada. Despite this global input, the vehicle can still qualify for a "Made in USA" label under current Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, guidelines if the final assembly is domestic and a substantial portion of the manufacturing costs are incurred in the U.S.

In other words, "Made in America" branding may not fully align with consumer expectations about domestic production.

A new study from advertising and public relations researchers at Michigan State University's College of Communication Arts and Sciences digs deeper into consumer attitudes, perceptions and behaviors of "Made in USA" claims. Published in the Journal of Law, Business and Ethics, it is only the second peer-reviewed study to explore what "Made in USA" claims mean to consumers.

Among the corridors of the Veterinary Medicine School at Murdoch University lies a discreet, forward thinking training space. It's not filled with the usual sounds of barking dogs or anxious owners, but with the quiet hum of silicon lungs inflating, haptic sensors buzzing, and students quietly practicing their skills on life-like animal models. Here, students don't just read about veterinary medicine - they feel it.

"The Murdoch Clinical Skills Laboratory bridges the gap between theory and live animal handling," says Dr Annett Annandale, the academic and driving force behind the lab's development. "It allows students to gain confidence and competence before performing procedures on a real animal."

Historically, veterinary students were taught using live animals, even for invasive techniques. But worldwide growing concerns about animal welfare, increasing student numbers, and the rising costs of maintaining live teaching animals have driven a dramatic change in approach over the last few decades.

2025-07-15 This certificate comes with TSMC's guarantee! The National University of Kaohsiung (NUK) has partnered with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the world's leading semiconductor foundry, to officially launch the TSMC Semiconductor Program for talent cultivation. Students who complete the program will receive a certificate issued by TSMC, effectively linking them to the southern Taiwan technology cluster and supplying the nation's semiconductor industry with highly skilled technical talent.

NUK President Chen Chi-Jen noted that the university is located at the heart of the southern Taiwan Semiconductor S Corridor, adjacent to the Nanzih Technology Industrial Park and Qiaotou Science Park, offering both geographic and industry-academia linkage advantages. Since 2006, NUK has offered the "Semiconductor and Optoelectronic Process Program," building extensive teaching and practical experience, and established the Advanced Packaging Integration Technology Center to continue deepening expertise in packaging, assembly, and process development-laying a solid foundation for southern Taiwan's semiconductor growth.

President Chen explained that this new program is coordinated by the Office of the Academic Vice President and supported by the Office of Research and Development, integrating teaching resources from eight departments and graduate institutes: Electrical Engineering, Chemical and Materials Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Computer Science and Information Engineering, Applied Chemistry, Applied Physics, Applied Mathematics, and Statistics.

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF KAOHSIUNG: BREAKING INTO THE WORLD'S TOP 40! NUK BADMINTON DUO HE CHIH-WEI AND HUANG JUI-HSUAN CLAIM 1 SILVER AND 1 BRONZE AT BWF SUPER 300 TOURNAMENTS

2025-07-17 Breaking into the world's top 40! National University of Kaohsiung (NUK) Department of Sport Competition students He Chih-Wei and Huang Jui-Hsuan, a golden badminton pair, recently competed in the BWF World Tour U.S. and Canada Opens (Super 300 level), winning one silver and one bronze in consecutive weeks. This achievement sets a new record for both the team and the players in international competition, with their men's doubles world ranking soaring to an all-time high of No. 37.

These two tournaments are part of the Badminton World Federation (BWF) Super 300 series, known for intense competition and a strong field of top players. At the U.S. Open, He and Huang advanced through the rounds, defeating multiple higher-ranked opponents, and claimed the silver medal in their very first finals appearance. In Toronto for the Canada Open, they adjusted their form and avenged their U.S. Open finals loss by defeating the same formidable opponents in the round of 16. Riding that momentum into the quarterfinals, they battled the No. 3 seeds from Scotland in a thrilling three-game match, edging them out to reach the semifinals and ultimately bringing home the bronze medal. Their consistent performance over the two weeks earned widespread recognition.

Assoc. Prof. Huang Chuan-Cheng of the Department of Sport Competition noted that He and Huang have been partners since high school and are now in their fourth year of collaboration, sharing both deep synergy and a common goal-to earn national team spots and compete on the international stage. Their breakthrough performance reflects years of dedicated training and perseverance, bringing further international recognition to NUK's badminton team. Their coach, Lin Shang-Kai, an alumnus and former teammate, played a crucial role through tactical planning and motivation.

Dean of Student Affairs Wang Ming-Yueh expressed gratitude for Assoc. Prof. Huang's dedication and selfless contributions, praising him as both a strong technical and emotional pillar for the players-the soul of the badminton team.

Director of the Physical Education Office Lin Chi-Chan highlighted that since its founding in 2013, the Department of Sport Competition's badminton team has achieved continuous breakthroughs under Assoc. Prof. Huang's leadership. In May this year, player Huang Yu-Hsun won the women's singles gold medal in the Open Division at the National Intercollegiate Athletic Games. Assoc. Prof. Huang himself also claimed 2 gold and 1 silver at the 2025 Taipei-New Taipei City World Masters Games, exemplifying excellence both as an athlete and coach.

Huang emphasized that while perseverance and skill improvement are "standard requirements" in competitive badminton, outstanding results also depend on the school's support and corporate sponsorship. He expressed his appreciation to Aba Badminton Team, Hi-Hone Hotel, and Melody Education Center for their ongoing funding, as well as to NUK for providing an excellent training and learning environment. He stressed the collective effort in nurturing talent for Taiwan and pledged to continue developing elite badminton players, leading them to even higher levels and bringing glory to both Taiwan and NUK.

NEW YORK UNIVERSITY: ASK THE INTERN: YUNJI LI AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART

"I don't think I've ever seen a TV show or movie that reflects the world I aspire to work in," says Yunji Li (CAS '26), a sophomore majoring in medieval studies. "There's nothing about manuscript studies, pigment analysis, or paleography in mainstream media."

Despite the lack of roadmaps in pop culture, Yunji discovered her academic calling early, and is already working on an honors thesis on medieval illuminated manuscripts, under the guidance of professor Kathryn A. Smith. "Work in this field is quiet, meticulous, and deeply rooted in the rhythms of libraries, archives, and close looking," Yunji says. But she feels strongly that it's not only academics who can appreciate medieval art. "I'm passionate about making this world more visible, legible, and more inviting to others," she says.

NEWCASTLE STUDENT STRIKES GOLD IN FIRST EXCAVATION

The early medieval gold object was unearthed by archaeology student, Yara Souza, during a recent excavation in Redesdale, Northumberland. The excavation took place following the chance discovery in 2021 of a similar object by metal detectorist, Alan Gray at the same location.

Yara, from Orlando, in Florida, United States, was part of the team from Newcastle University, working alongside her fellow students on the Archaeology BA Honours degree course and professional archaeologists from North East Museums to further investigate the site.

The excavation took place in July 2025, and Yara - who last year had to withdraw from taking part in Newcastle University's excavations at Birdoswald Roman fort with Historic England due to illness - made the discovery within the first 90 minutes of the fieldwork.

"I couldn't believe I'd found something so quickly into my first ever excavation," Yara said. "It was actually quite overwhelming.

NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY KENYA'S 1950 KOLLOA MASSACRE: COMMUNITIES NEED CLOSURE

In 1950, British forces killed at least 29 civilians in one of the deadliest, but least chronicled, episodes of colonial violence in Kenya.

Armed soldiers killed at least 29 civilian members of Dini ya Msambwa, a spiritual and anti-colonial movement in Kenya active around what is now West Pokot county in the north-western region. Survivors describe the group's gathering on 24 April 1950 as a peaceful one. However, British colonial forces, fearing a potential uprising, violently confronted the group at the Kolloa trading centre.

It led to one of the highest number of deaths in a single day in a single place in Kenya's colonial period.

For the surviving families and followers of Dini ya Msambwa (the "religion of the spirits" in Kiswahili), it was a massacre. However, the British government has never publicly apologised for this atrocity.

The movement's adherents continue to seek justice and recognition, but they face legal, political and historical roadblocks.

NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY: ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL RIPPLE EFFECTS FEARED FROM POTENTIAL EPA DOWNSIZING IN NC

As the Trump administration keeps pushing to change the focus of scientific research and roll back environmental regulations - moves that critics say favor industry over public health - members of North Carolina's scientific and environmental communities are speaking out. They're raising alarms about the effect of the EPA's stated goal of dismantling its environmental research arm, including the possible closure of its Office of Research and Development in Research Triangle Park.

"Gutting EPA's research capabilities directly harms states' ability to ensure we have clean air and clean water, because we rely on the EPA for scientific expertise and capacity that is rarely available at the state level," Elizabeth Biser, former secretary of the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality, told NC Health News in a text.

"Eliminating the scientific backbone of the EPA would severely compromise the agency's ability to make evidence-based decisions, putting communities across North Carolina - and the nation - at risk," Biser wrote. "When you add funding cuts to scientific research at academic institutions, the nation as a whole is losing critical resources to protect the public from toxic chemicals."

Critics warn that closing ORD's Research Triangle facility could jeopardize public health, hinder critical climate research, undermine environmental safeguards and harm the economy of the Research Triangle and North Carolina as a whole.

NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY: FLASH FLOOD WARNING SIRENS IN HAYWOOD COUNTY COULD SAVE LIVES IN FUTURE STORMS

Later this year, the first of 18 flash flood warning sirens will be installed at the Cruso Fire and Rescue department in southern Haywood County. One of just three siren systems in Western North Carolina, local leaders hope the devices will save lives in a region vulnerable to flash floods from tropical rain systems.

The new system is on track to be operational by early 2026, said Cody Grasty, Haywood County's recovery and resilience officer. The $700,036 warning system is funded by the NC Department of Public Safety through the Tropical Storm Fred Unmet Needs Grant. Each tower will require about $500 annually for maintenance.

On August 17, 2021, remnants of Tropical Storm Fred, which formed over the Gulf of Mexico, settled over the high ridges of Haywood County, unleashing 14 inches of rain in 12 hours. Cruso, an unincorporated community stretched along the East Fork of the Pigeon River, was hardest hit by a flash flood. A stream gauge on the East Fork exceeded its highest mark by more than 3 feet, surging more than 2.5 feet in 30 minutes, leading to flash floods and triggering landslides.

NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY: 'CONTROLLED EVOLUTION' DRAMATICALLY BOOSTS PDNA PRODUCTION FOR BIOMEDICAL MANUFACTURING

Researchers have controlled the evolution of E. coli bacteria in the lab in order to dramatically increase the amount of plasmid DNA (pDNA) these modified bacteria produce. The advance is significant because pDNA is an essential - and expensive - ingredient in many gene therapies, and the new technique could drive down the cost of these medical treatments.

pDNA are found naturally in many bacteria and differ from other forms of DNA because the double helix shape most people are familiar with forms a circle, rather than the linear shape found in humans and most other organisms.

"pDNA is relatively easy to work with in the lab - it's stable and easy to modify," says Nathan Crook, corresponding author of a paper on the work and an assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at North Carolina State University. "And it is particularly good at introducing genetic information into cells. This combination of traits makes it extremely useful for many gene therapies, as well as many vaccines used in veterinary practice."

On one hand, it can be used to find weak points and identify bugs, especially if it is well-trained. On the other, not only can it miss errors, it can be weaponized or tricked by bad actors.

Research led by Lan Zhang, an assistant professor in the School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems at Northern Arizona University, is examining the various roles AI plays in cybersecurity. Her team's work ranges from how to leverage AI to enhance cybersecurity, AI's impact on everyday users and the security risks that come with using AI, and she recently received a grant from the National Science Foundation to study adversarial malware can trick artificial intelligence.

"AI shows promise in enhancing cybersecurity by modeling complex threats and identifying vulnerabilities, but real-world effectiveness depends on precise problem definitions, quality data, human oversight and addressing security risks like adversarial attacks, membership inference attacks and poisoning attacks," Zhang said.

The program is named after Sir Alexander Fleming, who discovered penicillin and visited OMRF shortly after its founding. Since its creation, the program has helped launch the careers of doctors, scientists, educators and health care professionals across the country.

For Blackburn, who has a background in microbiology research, the program was a chance to broaden her experience and refine her specialization before applying to graduate school.

OSU-CHS AWARDS INAUGURAL PA SCHOLARSHIPS IN AUDREY HENDERSHOT'S NAME

For the first time since its launch in 2021, the OSU Center for Health Sciences Physician Assistant program has awarded five students with scholarships.

Three scholarships were established in Audrey Hendershot's name to recognize physician assistant students committed to advancing the program's mission - to enhance competent and compassionate health care in rural and underserved Oklahoma.

"The place a person grows up should not determine the quality of care they receive. However, for many rural residents of Oklahoma, access to health care remains out of reach. This is where our mission and the legacy of Audrey Hendershot come to life," said Amy Harrison, director of the physician assistant program at OSU-CHS.

Hendershot was an OSU alumna and lifelong supporter of the university. Born in 1923, she grew up on a farm in rural western Tulsa County. Her family's only access to health care was through the Oklahoma Osteopathic Hospital, now known as the OSU Medical Center.

The experience sparked her passion for improving health care access in rural areas. Previously, she established multiple scholarships to support medical students with a focus on those committed to underserved communities.

The three new scholarships awarded in Hendershot's name are the Rural Physician Assistant Scholarship, the Scholarship for Incoming Physician Assistant Students and the Academic Excellence Scholarship for Physician Assistant Students.

OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY: SUMMER 2025 NIBLACK SCHOLARS COMPLETE RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

For some Oklahoma State University undergraduates, the most valuable lessons aren't found in a textbook - they're discovered in the lab.

Through the Niblack Scholars Program, students step into the world of scientific research early in their academic careers, gaining experience that shapes their professional futures.

The three-semester program helps participants explore potential career paths, prepare for the workforce, and decide whether graduate school is the right next step.

Made possible by the generosity of OSU alumnus Dr. John Niblack, the program funds both the student researchers and their faculty mentors, creating a unique environment for hands-on learning.

During the fall and spring semesters, scholars work two to five hours per week alongside their mentors, expanding to at least 20 hours each week in the summer.

This summer, five more students are putting the finishing touches on their projects and will present their findings to Dr. Niblack in October. Source: Company Website

Buoyed by domestic demand and an uptick in infrastructure investments, the Philippine economy expanded by 5.4% in the first quarter of 2025, but U.S. tariffs proved to be a spoiler. The country's benchmark stock market index dipped 7% since we last measured fortunes, though that was partially offset by a firmer peso. As a result, the collective wealth of the country's 50 richest was up over 6% to $86 billion from $80.8 billion last year.

The Sy siblings, heirs to the SM group built by the late retail tycoon Henry Sy Sr., retained the top spot despite their fortune falling by $1.2 billion-the biggest drop in dollar terms-to $11.8 billion.

In the video, which I watched on TikTok, an orca trainer is attacked and killed. The hoax was generated by AI and has all of the signs of being computer generated, starting with the fact that the story would have made national news.

Most AI-generated videos don't pass the uncanny valley test, even as they are improving in quality. We are still able to spot something that's fake, and there are a few giveaways.

PORTLAND STATE UNIVERSITY: PSU RESEARCHERS RELEASE FINAL REPORT IN LANDMARK PROJECT EXPLORING IMPACTS OF MEASURE 110 DECRIMINALIZATION

Portland State University researchers have released the final findings in a three-year project examining the impacts of multiple drug policy shifts including Measure 110 which decriminalized drug possession in Oregon. The report is released in the wake of a significant policy reversal: Oregon's House Bill 4002, enacted in 2024, re-criminalized possession as a misdemeanor and established a new system to refer individuals to treatment.

Associate Professors Kelsey Henderson and Christopher Campbell, along with Professor Brian Renauer, conducted the three-year project, supported by the National Institute of Justice. The study scrutinized trends in law enforcement, prosecution, sentencing and public safety outcomes, utilizing both state data and insights gathered from interviews with decision-makers.

"The goal of this final report was to pull together all of the major findings from the years prior, and focus on major system trends and public safety outcomes," Henderson said. "Additionally, we wanted to explore the ways in which state trends tend to mask how things might differ across urban and rural counties."

The Year One report examining arrest, search and seizure trends and police officer perceptions was released in 2023. The Year Two report released in 2024 explored the role of the criminal justice system in connecting people to drug treatment, and examined criminal justice metrics (arrests and drug court participation) in the context of treatment resources. The final installment, however, delves into the multifaceted impacts of broader criminal justice reforms on public health and safety. This includes assessing not only Measure 110, but also the 2013 Justice Reinvestment Act, which reduced mandatory minimum marijuana sentences and diverted more drug offenses to probation, and the 2017 House Bill 2355, which "defelonized" possession of Schedule 1 or 2 controlled substances to misdemeanors. Perhaps most notably, the researchers found little evidence that Measure 110 was responsible for rising crime or overdose deaths. Instead, their analysis points to the COVID-19 pandemic and the widespread emergence of fentanyl as the primary drivers behind a surge in drug-related deaths.

Mo₂C-based electrocatalysts have emerged as promising alternatives to Pt noble metals for hydrogen production, owing to their high catalytic activity. However, the catalytic efficiency of Mo₂C is highly sensitive to factors such as surface termination, morphology, and support. Therefore, it is crucial to develop systematic crystal structure engineering methods to precisely modulate the activity, thereby enhancing both catalytic efficiency and stability. In this study, laser-based material processing is employed to modulate the microstructure of Mo₂C catalysts, with a focus on grain size control and developing a grain boundary (GB)-rich structure to enhance the kinetics of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Laser-based thermal control promoted the formation of fine and uniformly distributed Mo₂C grains (15.6 5 nm) and high-density GBs (130 mum−1). High-angle GBs, which occupy most Mo₂C GBs, enhance electrochemically active sites, facilitate electron transfer, and shift the work function to 5.10 eV, thereby reducing hydrogen adsorption energy. In addition, electrochemical tests reveal a significant decrease in overpotential (148 mV at 10 mA cm 2) and improve Tafel slopes (67.6 mV dec 1), confirming the enhanced kinetics of the HER. This laser-induced GB engineering strategy opens a new pathway for designing high-performance Mo₂C-based electrocatalysts, advancing next-generation hydrogen production technologies.

RUSH UNIVERSITY: USING TECHNOLOGY TO TRAIN FUTURE OTDS

As a second-year occupational therapy doctorate (OTD) student and anatomy tutor, Lauren Simons knows how challenging it can be for first-year students to learn the structure of the human body. To help students gain more confidence with this foundational subject, Simons turns to cutting-edge technology tools called Anatomage tables. These highly advanced anatomy visualization and virtual dissection tools allow students to see inside digital bodies.

"Anatomage tables are a great tool to help supplement the content that first-year OTD students learn from anatomy lectures, discussions and cadaver lab sessions," says Simons, who is originally from Somers, N.Y. She often uses the two tables at Rush to create quizzes in her tutoring sessions and prepare students for their exams.

Providing another opportunity for interactive learning "In the OTD program, we focus mostly on muscles and nerves located throughout the body," says Nora Harvel, a second-year OTD student and anatomy tutor for first-year OTD students. "Using the Anatomage tables, we can isolate specific muscles and nerves and make them easily visible and identifiable to the students."

Harvel, who is from Crystal Lake, Ill., was drawn to Rush's OTD program for the individualized learning experience it provides students. "I chose the OTD program at Rush because I knew that I would get a great clinical experience and the class size was small, allowing for a more individualized learning experience," she says. "We get hands-on experience during our first semester and continue to be exposed to occupational therapy throughout the rest of the program. Overall, the program prepares students to be amazing, entry-level OTs."

Cluff, who graduated from Rush's Physician Assistant Studies program in 2023 and now works in urology at Northwestern Medicine, earned a reputation as a leader and problem-solver at Rush. Elected by his fellow classmates to serve as the student legislative representative to the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA), he worked with Rush's Office of Student Life and Engagement to secure funding for more than half of his fellow classmates to attend the national conference.

"It was a great opportunity to work with the university at large, and to advocate for us as students and as PAs to make sure that we're highly educated and well connected," Cluff says.

Cluff, who is from Salt Lake City, also served as a student representative on Rush's system-wide LGBTQ Leadership Council and helped implement the pronoun badge-toppers at Rush that create an inclusive environment for staff, students and patients. "It's such a simple thing, but it communicates a lot to patients that we care," he says.

RESULTS OF THE SUSU ADMISSIONS CAMPAIGN: MOST IN-DEMAND ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES

The Admissions Campaign is wrapping up, so it is high time to review the results. Here are the academic programmes of South Ural State University most popular with the 2025 applicants.

Many school pupils dream of enrolling in one of the major Russian universities, where education is combined with innovations, digital technologies, active student life and international opportunities.

Already now, more than 15 thousand applicants have submitted their documents to SUSU. But there will be much more. Despite the fact that the Order for Admission for the priority and main stages has already been signed, there still remains a chance to enrol in contract-based programmes in one of the most prestigious universities in our region.

"Traditionally, among the most popular academic programmes are those related to computer sciences, computing equipment, programming, as well as construction. Such programmes as Instrumentation Engineering, Design and Technological Support of Mechanical Engineering Productions, and Production Automation are in the top 10 of engineering programmes. Humanities programmes are also popular among applicants: Jurisprudence, or Economics," shares Head of the Office for Strategic Work with Applicants Iuliia Bolotina. "Because of the demand for these programmes, their admission score increases, so does the number of applicants wishing to enrol in both state-funded and contract-based programmes."

So, here are the academic programmes of South Ural State University most popular with the 2025 applicants:

Institute of Architecture and Construction: Construction; Construction of Unique Buildings and Structures;

School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science: Informatics and Computer Engineering; Control in Technical Systems; Instrumentation Engineering;

School of Economics and Management: Economics;

Institute of Law: Jurisprudence;

Institute of Engineering and Technology: Design and Technological Support of Mechanical Engineering Productions; Automation of Technological Processes and Production.

RESULTS OF THE SUSU ADMISSIONS CAMPAIGN: SUSU SCIENTISTS CREATED A UNIQUE NAVIGATION SYSTEM FOR AIRCRAFTS

A device for determining the altitude and angular positions of an aircraft using radio range finders, patented by developers from South Ural State University, is an inexpensive and easy-to-implement invention that allows an aircraft (rocket carrier and UAV) to land on the ground. The work is being carried out within the framework of the Priority 2030 program under the Youth and Children national project.

A unique navigation device allows determining the altitude and angular position of an aircraft relative to the earth's surface, thereby helping to ensure its automated landing without human intervention. The parameters of the object in the air read by the device will help to correctly control its engine so that the device maintains a compensated vertical position right before landing.

"Unlike classic onboard radio navigation systems, such as radio rangefinders that determine the distance from an aircraft to a target, the system we have created allows to determine the angular position of an aircraft relative to the earth's surface," explained Nikolai Dudarev, Associate Professor at the SUSU Department of Radio Electronics and Communication Systems. "A new approach to using radio rangefinders becomes available thanks to a developed algorithm for converting the ranges obtained from four radio rangefinders included in the system, into the angular positions of an aircraft."

Having established the parameters of the spatial position of an object, the new device promptly transmits the measured and processed navigation information to the aircraft control system.

Now in 2025, junior midfielder Nelson enters the season with goals and aspirations of her own. Earlier this Summer, Nelson was named to the 2025 Ohio Valley Conference 'Players to Watch' List as the lone representative from SEMO. A season ago, she finished with a goal and an assist in 16 matches played (15 started). She accumulated three points and had 16 shots, including eight shots-on-goal, to finish the year. Justi started nurturing her love for soccer at the tender age of four, kicking the ball around in the Cape Rec league in her hometown of Cape Girardeau. From those early days, Nelson's journey has been one of growth, dedication, and the constant presence of her biggest supporters - her parents. Nelson is the daughter of former Redhawk head coach, Heather Nelson, who retired following the completion of the 2024 campaign as the only coach in the program's 26-year history (1999-2024) and her father, Paul Nelson, who was on the sidelines for 25 seasons serving 17 of those as Associate Head Coach of the Redhawks.

STAFFORDSHIRE UNIVERSITY: BRIGHT SPARK MAKES HER MARK AS AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER

Hands-on learning and an industry placement have set up engineering graduate Huda for a promising career Huda Fatima in her graduation cap and gown

Huda Fatima completed a year in industry and now has a graduate job

It feels transformational. I feel like a different person and it's all thanks to University of Staffordshire.

Huda Fatima, BEng (Hons) Electrical Engineering

Huda Fatima studied BEng (Hons) Electrical Engineering at University of Staffordshire, following in the footsteps of her father who was an electrical engineer.

"It's such a warm, welcoming environment the minute you step into the University on your of first day and you're welcomed with a lot of extracurricular activities," said Huda, 22, who is originally from India.

"But as you start your course, you realise there's a lot of potential for you to get in touch with industry and your supervisors as well."

Huda had chance to work on various projects during her degree, and played a key role in restoring an OPAL-RT simulator. She worked with a small team of academics and students to successfully re-establish the lost connections of the simulator, enabling it to run complex simulations and give students first-hand experience of real world scenarios.

"My experience working on the OPAL-RT was incredibly rewarding, as I witnessed the theoretical concepts come to life in the real world. Our teams' mission to revive the dormant simulator sharpened our creativity and problem solving abilities with every challenge."

During her studies, Huda also had the opportunity to complete a placement year with energy component manufacturer GE Vernova, gaining hands on industry experience.

"Electrical engineering was something that I was passionate about from the very beginning. But I think the fact that this university brings a lot of connectivity to the industry was one of the main reasons that I was very, very keen to join University of Staffordshire.

"When you step into the industry, there's obviously a big, overwhelming environment, but also you're able to see a lot of your concepts come into play all around you. You're able to connect the dots just by what you've studied and what you've taken from what a professor was taught you.

STAFFORDSHIRE UNIVERSITY: FROM CLEARING TO A FIRST CLASS FUTURE

An architecture graduate has grand designs for a bright future after coming to University of Staffordshire through Clearing Jeremiah Hough in his graduation cap and gown

Jeremiah came to University of Staffordshire through Clearing

When I opened my results on A Level results day back in 2022, I could not have imagined that I'd be standing here today with a first, ready to go and start my professional career.

Jeremiah Hough, BArch (Hons) Architecture

Jeremiah Hough has graduated with a first class degree in BArch (Hons) Architecture and delivered a speech to hundreds of fellow graduates and guests at his graduation ceremony. Something that he would have found hard to believe three years ago.

"For me, the journey to this point hasn't been straightforward. I came through the Clearing process after not achieving the A Level grades I had initially aimed for," explained the 21-year-old from Kidsgrove.

"At the time, it felt like a major setback, but in hindsight, it was a simple redirection. That experience taught me resilience and reminded me that our paths don't have to be perfect to be meaningful. It brought me here, a place where I have flourished and a place I leave with a first class degree."

Jeremiah is part of the second ever cohort to embark on the architecture course at University of Staffordshire. Last month, it received Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) accreditation, signifying that the course meets the high standards set by RIBA for preparing students for professional architectural practice.

Throughout his studies, Jeremiah has been part of several projects including 'Rammed Earth', a collaboration with the British Ceramics Biennial to design and create a children's playground formed of spoil clay sourced from a UK construction site.

Praising the lecturers, Jeremiah said: "They have stood by both myself and my entire cohort. Their unending support is one of the main reasons I am able to stand here as a 2025 University of Staffordshire graduate.

"They've always pushed us to work with each other. And the amount of times they have brought expert sand professionals from the field to speak to us, to talk to us, to teach us, give us crits and feedback. It's there for us. It really helps to prepare us for going forwards."

Jeremiah hopes that his story will reassure others who may not get the exams results they had hoped for. He commented: "When I opened my results on A Level results day back in 2022, I could not have imagined Ithat 'd be standing here today with a first, ready to go and start my professional career.

"For anyone in a similar position, just apply! There is no harm that comes from just applying and trying. Come and visit. We have the Open Days for Clearing. Just come!"

STANFORD UNIVERSITY: EXPERTS URGE POLICIES THAT RECOGNIZE WOMENS VITAL ROLE IN DEVELOPMENT

Researchers at the King Center on Global Development are exploring women's roles and responsibilities in low-income countries and their implications for political and economic participation. The research spans multiple countries, including Zambia, Mexico, and India, with a focus on local cultural contexts amidst ongoing challenges. These studies are part of a broader mission to create policy interventions that improve access to health care, education, economic opportunities, and political representation for women.

When it comes to managing the administrative tasks that are required to run a home and raise a family, women bear the brunt of the responsibility. According to one study of women in the United States, mothers take on 7 out of 10 so-called mental load tasks, which range from planning meals to scheduling activities for children.

All that extra work takes a toll, including on society: Women who carry more mental load are less interested in national politics (men who carry more mental load also report less political interest, but fewer men are in that position).

STANFORD UNIVERSITY: UNDERSTANDING THE BIDIRECTIONAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SLEEP AND MENTAL HEALTH

Sleep and mood influence each other. Faculty in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences study how better sleep can result in better mental health. Research has focused on topics including how to use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat insomnia and the risks of going to bed late. Experts recommend good sleep hygiene, such as avoiding caffeine and screens before bed and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule.

Many of us have a fraught relationship with sleep. We delay bedtime for precious alone time, we scroll on our phones in bed, we sacrifice weeknight sleep only to catch marathon Z's on the weekend.

Anyone who's tossed and turned or stayed up too late, then faced a cranky early morning, knows that poor sleep can trigger a poor mood. But the relationship between sleep and our mental health goes deeper. Getting enough or not enough sleep can impact our mental health, and mental health conditions can influence how we snooze.

"It's becoming increasingly clear that sleep and mood have a bidirectional relationship," said Andrea Goldstein-Piekarski, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and director of the Computational Psychiatry, Neuroscience, and Sleep Laboratory at Stanford Medicine.

Stanford University Libraries have acquired the collection of Alfred G. Aronowitz (1928-2005) for the Archive of Recorded Sound.

A fixture on the New York underground art scene, Aronowitz was one of the first journalists to write about the Beat poets with his 12-part series "The Beat Generation," published in the New York Post between 1958 and 1959.

His Pop Scene column in the Post established him as a distinctive voice in music journalism and opened the door to candid interviews and close relationships with jazz musicians, rock stars, and many others whose voices are woven throughout the collection of letters, postcards, and taped interviews.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY: SEMINAL ART LAW TEXTBOOK GETS UPDATED FOR A NEW ERA

When comparative law scholar John Merryman joined the Stanford Law School faculty in the 1950s, nobody was talking about "art law." But when his wife Nancy, a Palo Alto gallerist, started coming home with thorny legal questions, he saw an opportunity to explore a new frontier.

In 1970, Merryman conceived Art and the Law, widely believed to be the country's first-ever art law course. Some in the academy were initially skeptical, according to a 2015 Stanford Lawyer remembrance, but the idea proved visionary. More than 50 years later, art law remains a popular offering at Stanford Law and at dozens of law schools nationwide. And the recently released sixth edition of Merryman's authoritative companion textbook ensures his influence endures.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY: STUDY REVEALS GAIT RETRAINING COULD HELP TREAT KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS

Nearly a quarter of people over the age of 40 experience painful osteoarthritis, making it a leading cause of disability in adults. Osteoarthritis involves degradation of joint-cushioning cartilage, and there is currently no way of reversing this damage: the only option is to manage pain with medication, and eventually, joint replacement.

A study conducted at Stanford University is now demonstrating the potential for another option: gait retraining.

By making a small adjustment to the angle of their foot while walking, participants in a year-long randomized control trial experienced pain relief equivalent to medication. Critically, those participants also showed less knee cartilage degradation over that period as compared to a group that received a placebo treatment.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY: WALKABLE CITIES BOOST DAILY ACTIVITY BY AN AVERAGE OF 1,100 STEPS

Have you ever thought that relocating to a more walkable neighborhood could help you move more? If so, your suspicion was right. A new study analyzing over 7,400 relocations across 1,600 U.S. cities supports what many city planners and public health officials have suspected for years: Walkable cities encourage people to be more active.

"This natural experiment sought to answer an important yet challenging question that the public health field has been attempting to answer for decades, which is whether changes in people's built environments can actually lead to changes in their physical activity levels," said study author Abby King, a professor of epidemiology and population health at Stanford Medicine.

The research, published in Nature, used smartphone data from more than 2 million Americans. From this dataset, the researchers focused on a group of 5,400 people who relocated between cities over a three-year period. They found that people who relocated to cities with higher "Walk Scores" - a measure of walkability ranging from 0 to 100 - added on average 1,100 steps per day to their routines, or about 11 extra minutes of walking.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY: 'LONGEVITY IS GOING TO CHANGE ALMOST ALL ASPECTS OF OUR LIVES'

I got interested in aging following a car accident I was in when I was 21 years old. I broke 20-plus bones, and I ended up in an orthopedic ward for four months. It turns out, orthopedic wards have a bimodal age distribution with young people recovering from motor vehicle accidents and older people healing from broken hips and knees or other surgeries. After I recovered from the worst of it, the nurses decided to give me an assignment to talk with the older patients so they would stay alert and oriented - in hindsight, the nurses were trying to help me.

I got to know a lot of older women, and at 21, I found we had so much in common: All of us had been lifted out of our worlds and were completely dependent on other people. A shared experience emerged from the struggles we faced together. But when it came to the care we received, there was a huge disparity. I started to see that because of my age, I was treated differently. To the doctors, my youth signaled optimism - I had an entire future ahead of me - and during rounds, they would discuss different ways to help my recovery. But the older women in my ward were brushed aside.

Groundbreaking research led by a Swansea University academic has revealed a synthetic glycosystem - a sugar-coated polymer nanoparticle - that can block Covid-19 from infecting human cells, reducing infection rates by nearly 99%.

The glycosystem is a specially designed particle that mimics natural sugars found on human cells. These sugars, known as polysialosides, are made of repeating units of sialic acid - structures that viruses often target to begin infection. By copying this structure, the synthetic molecule acts as a decoy, binding to the virus's spike protein and preventing it from attaching to real cells.

Unlike vaccines, which trigger immune responses, this molecule acts as a physical shield, offering a novel approach to infection prevention.

TU DRESDEN NATURE STUDY: ESTROGEN PROTECTS THE KIDNEYS - RESEARCH FROM DRESDEN AND HEIDELBERG PROVES THE RELEVANCE OF GENDER-SPECIFIC MEDICINE FOR UNDERSTANDING DISEASE AND THERAPY

The number of people suffering from kidney disease is rising worldwide. According to estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO), kidney disease will be one of the five leading causes of death by 2050. Kidney disease often goes undetected for a long time, meaning that damage is already at a critical stage and usually irreversible by the time it is noticed. As its basic mechanisms are not yet fully understood, more research is essential to improve our understanding of the disease and enable its successful prevention and early detection. A research team with scientists from Dresden and Heidelberg, alongside their international partners, has now identified new mechanisms that explain why kidney damage differs significantly between women and men. These findings are attributable to the effect of the hormone estrogen. The study, entitled "Multiple oestradiol functions inhibit ferroptosis and acute kidney injury," has now been published in the renowned journal Nature.

One of the main causes of acute kidney damage is ferroptosis, also known as "biological rust." This process causes the loss of nephrons, which are the functional units of the kidney. In the study, the research team led by Prof. Andreas Linkermann, who works at the Medical Clinic III (MK III) at Dresden University Hospital (UKD) and is director of the V. Medical Clinic at Mannheim University Medical Center, and Prof. Stefan Bornstein, director of MK III at UKD, demonstrated that the female reproductive hormone estrogen protects the kidneys in many ways against damage caused by ferroptosis.

TU WIEN BALANCING SEASONAL ENERGY FLUCTUATIONS WITH RESTORE

Energy can be stored in various forms: electrically, thermally or thermochemically. Depending on the storage form used, energy can be stored for different lengths of time or retrieved in different forms. In the EU project RESTORE, researchers at TU Wien have now developed thermochemical energy storage systems that can be used to store energy almost loss-free and over longer periods of time. We are talking about months, years or even decades. Energy can be fed into the system both in the form of thermal energy and in the form of electrical energy. A converter also makes it possible to extract energy in both forms.

These are all important criteria to enable a complete transition to renewable energy sources. For example, as solar energy is available to a much greater extent in summer than in winter, it is important to be able to store the energy efficiently over a longer period of time - for example for the winter, when less solar power can be produced and the energy required for heating increases.

TU WIEN LET'S DISCUSS: SHOULD WE DARKEN THE SUN

Imagine a giant dimmer switch for the planet - an emergency brake on global warming. Solar Radiation Management is a bold and controversial idea that aims to reflect a small fraction of sunlight back into space to cool the Earth. One leading approach involves injecting tiny aerosols into the upper atmosphere, mimicking the cooling effect of volcanic eruptions and enhancing the brightness of clouds. Could this be a powerful tool to buy time in the climate crisis? Or are we opening a Pandora's box with unpredictable consequences?

Aerosol Research: A Key Discipline in Potential Geoengineering Atmospheric and aerosol scientists are increasingly discussing the technical challenges and potential environmental impacts of such geoengineering approaches. This "cloud brightening" is often connected to artificially elevated levels of cloud condensation nuclei - small aerosol particles with diameters well below 1 μm (around 100 times smaller than a human hair). These particles are often formed when gaseous molecules cluster into small particles in the atmosphere.

At the 22nd International Conference on Nucleation and Atmospheric Aerosols (ICNAA), opens an external URL in a new window, held in Vienna from August 24 to 28, 2025, international researchers from five continents will come together to discuss the latest scientific advances in aerosol formation and its role in cloud and ice cloud formation.

TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF DENMARK: FUNGAL RESEARCHER: "FUNGI HAVE MUCH MORE IN COMMON WITH US THAN WITH PLANTS"

Jakob Blaesbjerg Hoof, a researcher and associate professor at DTU Bioengineering, is trying to learn everything there is to know about fungi. He wants to share this knowledge with as many people as possible. After all, there is a lot we can learn from them.

"It's quite wrong when textbooks put fungi in the same category as plants because, unlike plants, fungi do not photosynthesize. Instead, they absorb nutrients, such as carbon, from their environment, just as we do. They have also learnt to live in symbiosis with their environment. For example, there are moulds that make plant roots grow faster and better," enthuses Jakob Blaesbjerg Hoof.

At the beginning of his career, he focused a lot on the "engineering" of fungi, i.e. making man-made changes to the fungal organism to promote beneficial properties.

One beneficial property could be the production of bioactive substances and useful enzymes by fungi.

Currently, the focus is on investigating the properties that natural fungi already possess. This is where DTU's extensive fungi collection, also known as the IBT Culture Collection, comes in.

This consists of around 39,000 mould isolates stored in four cold rooms at 9 degrees Celsius. An isolate is obtained by collecting mould samples. These are first purified in Petri dishes and then identified by the researchers. The isolate is then placed in the collection.

Overall, each isolate exhibits its own unique characteristics. Some properties are beneficial to humans, such as when a mould can be used as an ingredient in medicine or food products. Other properties are far from useful; for example, some moulds produce toxic compounds and problematic spores.

TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF DENMARK: BRIGHT IDEA PROVIDES NEW HOPE FOR ALZHEIMER'S PATIENTS

Researchers at DTU and UC Berkeley, together with spin-out company OptoCeutics, have invented a non-medical form of therapy that can improve brain activity: light-based deep brain stimulation that induces a specific type of brain wave that Alzheimer's patients benefit from.

Clinical trials conducted by doctors at Zealand University Hospital in Roskilde have shown a beneficial effect in preliminary studies on people with Alzheimer's where these gamma brain waves were induced: The results suggest that patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's experienced improved cognitive abilities in relation to e.g., speech and memory.

A study involving more participants is underway to confirm the results.

DTU Professor Paul Michael Petersen, one of the inventors of the technology, says that the idea for the device is based on research from MIT. Nearly 10 years ago, their research showed that when mice with Alzheimer's were exposed to blinking lights, gamma brain waves were induced which in turn reduced plaque caused by beta-amyloid proteins in the brain.

The brains of Alzheimer's patients are often characterized by the presence of plaque, which is harmful to nerve cells and can cause inflammatory changes in brain tissue.

"However, blinking lights are not particularly sound because they can cause discomfort and, in the worst case, epileptic seizures, so we wanted to investigate whether we could achieve the same effect but in a gentler way," Paul Michael Petersen explains.

The professor, who is an expert in light, came up with the idea of developing a device that had the same effect as blinking lights, but where users would not detect that the light was blinking. The technology they developed achieves a beneficial effect on the brain while avoiding several negative side effects.

TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF DENMARK: PURE MATHEMATICS REDUCES SHIPS' FUEL CONSUMPTION

A recently completed collaboration between DFDS, DTU, several other universities and companies has focused on how digital tools can be used to make freight transport by trailer smarter and more climate friendly.

You will be familiar with trailers either from transport behind a lorry or from ports, where they are parked waiting to be driven onto a ship that will take over the next part of the transport, typically to another country. Here, the trailers are unloaded from the ship and picked up by a new lorry to transport them to their final destination.

The ships used for transport are called RoRo ships - short for Roll-on/Roll-off - because they have a ramp to drive the cargo on and off. Just as you know from a car ferry, which is also called RoRo. Mathematical model makes ship loading more efficient

One of the challenges which the collaboration has focused on is the loading of ships. The RoRo mode of transport means that many trailers arrive at the port shortly before departure. When the loading of the ship begins, it is therefore still uncertain how much cargo the ship must be able to carry - and how much the cargo weighs.

THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY: TINY ROBOTS USE SOUND TO SELF-ORGANIZE INTO INTELLIGENT GROUPS

Animals like bats, whales and insects have long used acoustic signals for communication and navigation. Now, an international team of scientists have taken a page from nature's playbook to model micro-sized robots that use sound waves to coordinate into large swarms that exhibit intelligent-like behavior. The robot groups could one day carry out complex tasks like exploring disaster zones, cleaning up pollution, or performing medical treatments from inside the body, according to team lead Igor Aronson, Huck Chair Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, and Mathematics at Penn State.

"Picture swarms of bees or midges," Aronson said. "They move, that creates sound, and the sound keeps them cohesive, many individuals acting as one."

The researchers published their work today (Aug. 12) in the journal Physical Review X.

Since the miniature, sound-broadcasting swarms of micromachines are self-organizing, they can navigate tight spaces and even re-form themselves if deformed. The swarms' collective - or emergent - intelligence could one day be harnessed to carry out tasks like cleaning up pollution in contaminated environments, Aronson explained.

THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY: STUDY OFFERS NEW INSIGHT INTO MIXED VIRUS INTERACTIONS IN PLANTS

Similar to humans, plants can become infected with more than one virus at a time, opening the door for more severe infections and new disease variants. But these mixed infections are often under-studied and poorly understood.

New research led by researchers at Penn State examined what happens when two common viruses - tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV) and impatiens necrotic spot orthotospovirus (INSV) - infect the same plant.

The study, published in the journal Viruses, found that when plants were infected with both viruses, TSWV levels were much lower than when plants were infected with TSWV alone. These levels were also lower than INSV in mixed infected plants, suggesting an antagonistic relationship between the two viruses.

Cristina Rosa, professor of plant virology in the College of Agricultural Sciences, said that while preliminary, the findings provide a better understanding of these viruses that could help lead to better disease control in the future.

THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO: LEVITATING DISKS COULD OPEN A NEW WINDOW INTO THE EARTH'S UPPER ATMOSPHERE

Between 30 and 60 miles above Earth's surface lies a largely unstudied stretch of the atmosphere.

It's too high for airplanes and weather balloons, too low for satellites and nearly impossible to monitor with existing technology. But understanding this layer of the atmosphere could improve the accuracy of weather forecasts and climate models.

A new study published in Nature by researchers at Harvard University, the University of Chicago, Pukyong National University and Universidade Federal do Parana introduces a novel way to reach this unexplored near-space zone: lightweight flying structures that can levitate using nothing but sunlight.

"We are studying this strange physics mechanism called photophoresis and its ability to levitate very lightweight objects when you shine light on them," said Ben Schafer, lead author of the paper. Source: Company Website

THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH CATS WITH DEMENTIA SHARE HALLMARKS OF ALZHEIMER'S

Scientists discovered a build-up of the toxic protein amyloid-beta in the brains of cats with the condition - one of the defining features of Alzheimer's disease.

The findings offer a clearer picture of how amyloid-beta may lead to age-related brain dysfunction and memory loss in cats, experts say.

Brain imaging Many older cats develop dementia, leading to behavioural changes such as increased vocalisation - or meowing - confusion and disrupted sleep - symptoms similar to those seen in people with Alzheimer's disease.

Scientists at the University of Edinburgh examined the brains of 25 cats of different ages after they had passed away, including those with signs of dementia.

Powerful microscopy images revealed a build-up of amyloid-beta within the synapses - connections between brain cells - of older cats and cats with dementia.

TOMSK POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY: TPU RESEARCHERS PROPOSED A SIMPLE WAY TO SYNTHESIZE LOW-AVAILABILITY SUGARS IN ONE STEP

Chemists from Tomsk Polytechnic University, together with their colleagues from Sweden, have presented a new technique that simplifies the synthesis of monoacetylated carbohydrates, low-availability sugars. These compounds are used in biological processes to create complex structures in the production of new drugs and in biotechnology. In the future, the results of the research may increase synthesis efficiency in the low-tonnage drug production.

The research was supported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (Program No. 075-03-2025-439/2). The results of the research have been published in the journal Carbohydrate Research (Q2, IF: 2.5).

Monoacetylated carbohydrates are poorly available sugars, compounds where one hydroxyl group is replaced by an acetyl group. They play a key role in biological interactions, including protection of plant cell walls and influence on the immune system. Traditional methods of synthesizing such carbohydrates are complex and time-consuming, which prevents their widespread use in research and development of new medicines.

Scientists from the Research School of Chemical and Biomedical Technologies, together with their colleagues from Linkoping University and the Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), have developed a simple and effective method to synthesize monoacetylated carbohydrates, low-availability sugars. To do this, they first synthesized fully acetylated glycosides of 4-methoxyphenol (ed. note. - compounds containing an acetyl group in the structure), and then, using the method of deacetylation (ed.note. - removal of acetyl groups) they removed the acetyl groups leaving only one of them.

TSINGHUA UNIVERSITY ​PROFESSOR YIJUN QI'S TEAM REVEALS SPATIOTEMPORAL REGULATION OF TARGET MRNA CLEAVAGE BY 21-NT PHASIRNAS IN MAIZE ANTHERS

Professor Yijun Qi's team from the School of Life Sciences at Tsinghua University recently published significant findings on the modes of action and roles of maize phased small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs). Using low-input degradome-sequencing, they analyzed maize anthers and isolated male germ cells at various developmental stages. Their study identified hundreds of protein-coding mRNAs as 21-nt phasiRNA targets and revealed that 21-nt phasiRNA-directed mRNA cleavage is temporally dynamic and cell type-dependent. Notably, while 21-nt phasiRNAs can direct target mRNA cleavage and regulate male fertility in both maize and rice, the sequences of 21-nt phasiRNAs and their targets show little conservation in these two species.

Twenty-one- and 24-nt (phasiRNAs) are two classes of small RNAs abundantly expressed in developing grass anthers. They play crucial roles in anther development and male reproduction, as dysfunction of these phasiRNAs can lead to photo/thermo-sensitive male sterility. Previous studies have revealed that 21-nt phasiRNAs in rice direct the cleavage of target mRNAs to regulate gene expression. However, it remains elusive whether 21-nt phasiRNAs target mRNAs in maize.

To experimentally test whether 21-nt phasiRNAs can direct mRNA cleavage, and to determine in which cell types they act in maize, Professor Qi's team collected anthers at premeiotic, prophase I and tetrad/microspore stages as well as highly pure meiocytes at prophase I, tetrads, and microspores from wild-type maize (Fig. 1). Through low-input small RNA-sequencing, they identified 10,314 21-nt phasiRNAs from these samples. They then applied low-input degradome-sequencing to detect 21-nt phasiRNA-directed cleavage signals. Data analysis revealed that 21-nt phasiRNAs directed the cleavage of 132, 132 and 119 mRNAs in premeiotic, prophase I and tetrad/microspore-stage anthers and they directed the cleavage of 246, 181 and 143 mRNAs in prophase I meiocytes, tetrads and microspores, respectively. The results suggest that 21-nt phasiRNAs can direct mRNA cleavage in maize anthers and male germ cells.

TULANE UNIVERSITY: STUDY: AS TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY RISE, SO DO EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS FOR HEART CONDITIONS

Extreme heat can be hard on your heart. As temperatures rise, the heart pumps faster to move blood toward the skin to cool the body. This added strain on the cardiovascular system can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, especially for those with existing heart conditions.

The danger can spike dramatically when combined with high humidity, according to a new study from Tulane University that found the risk of visiting the emergency room for a heart-related issue is six times higher during extremely hot and humid days.

The study, published in Science of the Total Environment, analyzed more than 340,000 emergency room visits for heart-related issues in Dhaka, Bangladesh, a city characterized by intense heat and humidity, from 2014 to 2019. Researchers modeled these visits against historical temperature and humidity data. While heat alone increased the risk of a heart-related emergency by 4.4% on low-humidity days, the risk jumped to 26.7% on the most humid days when relative humidity topped 82 percent.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA CRUZ: BUILDING A CLEAN ENERGY ECONOMY THAT BENEFITS EVERYONE

Floods. Fires. Drought. Extreme Heat. Massive storms. It's impossible to read the news these days without seeing clear distress signals from a planetary climate system in growing disarray. The impacts of climate change are no longer some theoretical future harm. We're living them today. And unless we take urgent action to end our reliance on fossil fuels, things will continue to get worse.

But there is a clear path forward. Our society must undertake a rapid transition away from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Many of the solutions we need to do so are already available to us, just waiting to be scaled up. The biggest obstacle has long been lack of political will. Turning the tide will require bringing more people from all walks of life into the climate movement. And a powerful tool for that is the concept of a just transition: building a carbon-free economy in a way that protects workers and communities in the process and builds a more just future for all.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA CRUZ: ARIEL CHAN IS A NEW VOICE FOR LINGUISTICS AND BILINGUALISM STUDIES

For as long as she can remember, Assistant Professor of Languages and Applied Linguistics Ariel Chan has lived her life in two languages. She grew up in Hong Kong when it was still a British colony, prior to its handover to China in July 1997. At home, she spoke Cantonese. At school, she began learning English as early as kindergarten.

Now one of three new Humanities faculty hires at UC Santa Cruz, Chan is challenging outdated assumptions about bilingualism through her work at the intersection of psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and neuroscience.

Her research offers fresh insights into how language, identity, and cognition intertwine-insights shaped in part by her own experiences as a Cantonese-English bilingual raised in Hong Kong.

"Actually, the majority of the world's population is bilingual," Chan said. "Interestingly, in the United States, it's kind of the reverse. (Only 23 percent of the U.S. population identifies as bilingual.) But in reality, the U.S. is not truly monolingual. There's a huge population of what we call heritage speakers-children of immigrants who usually grow up speaking another language at home that is not English."

Chan studies how bilinguals' cultural identity and language experiences affect how they understand and use language, as well as how they manage attention and mental flexibility. Her research combines insights from psycholinguistics-the study of how language is processed in the mind-and sociolinguistics, which looks at how language is shaped by social and cultural factors.

The explosion of a massive star locked in a deadly orbit with a black hole has been discovered with the help of artificial intelligence used by an astronomy collaboration led by the University of California, Santa Cruz, that hunts for stars shortly after they explode as supernovae.

The blast, named SN 2023zkd, was first discovered in July 2023 with the help of a new AI algorithm designed to scan for unusual explosions in real time. The early alert allowed astronomers to begin follow-up observations immediately-an essential step in capturing the full story of the explosion.

By the time the explosion was over, it had been observed by a large set of telescopes, both on the ground and from space. That included two telescopes at the Haleakalaa Observatory in Hawaiʻi used by the Young Supernova Experiment (YSE) based at UC Santa Cruz.

"Something exactly like this supernova has not been seen before, so it might be very rare," said Ryan Foley, associate professor of astronomy and astrophysics at UC Santa Cruz. "Humans are reasonably good at finding things that 'aren't like the others,' but the algorithm can flag things earlier than a human may notice. This is critical for these time-sensitive observations."

In moments of stress or sadness, many people can find comfort by escaping to their "happy place." For some it could be the beach, a lake or the mountains; but for others, this form of visualization is not an option. This is the reality for individuals with aphantasia, a neurological condition in which individuals are unable to generate mental images.

Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham conducted a comprehensive review of 52 existing aphantasia research studies in hopes to uncover patterns and further the understanding of how imagination functions in the brain and what the future in aphantasia research could be.

Rajesh Kana, Ph.D., professor in the UAB College of Arts and Sciences and associate dean for Graduate and Continuing Education, says their review found that individuals with aphantasia have a weaker connection between their prefrontal cortex and the visual brain network, a key difference from those who can experience vivid mental imagery.

Surya Bhatt 01 Surya Bhatt, M.D. The diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, is improved by incorporating CT lung imaging and respiratory symptoms. This fresh, multidimensional approach better identifies patients who are at risk of poor respiratory outcomes, while ruling out those who have airflow obstruction without respiratory symptoms or structural lung disease, Surya Bhatt, M.D., and colleagues report in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

"This new COPD diagnostic schema, which includes chest imaging, respiratory symptoms and spirometry, identified additional individuals at risk of poor respiratory outcomes," said Bhatt, a professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine and director of the Center for Lung Analytics and Imaging Research.

The schema includes airflow obstruction on spirometry as the major criterion and minor criteria based on chest imaging and respiratory symptoms. Imaging includes visual signs of emphysema and airway wall thickening on computed tomography, and symptom-based criteria consider difficulty breathing, reduced quality of life and the presence of chronic bronchitis. Under the new framework, a patient must have airflow obstruction and at least one minor criterion or, in the absence of airflow obstruction or if lung function tests are not available, at least three of five minor criteria.

The first of its kind in the Southeast, the program gives students important foundations in understanding and applying AI, as well as the safety, security and ethics of using AI to improve the health and lives of patients. The curriculum is structured to provide essential technical training for students who complete the AI in Medicine Graduate Certificate.

For Julie Schifanella, 56, learning to use artificial intelligence to better care for patients is a professional motivation - and it is personal. The Birmingham, Alabama, native and her daughter, Sophia Schifanella, 23, both work for a hospitalist unit at UAB Hospital caring for patients. After completing the AI in Medicine certificate coursework, they will graduate Aug. 16. Julie earned her bachelor's degree in health care management and art studio from UAB. Her family are proud Blazers, with deep connections to the university and hospital, Julie says.

"We have kind of been full circle with UAB Hospital and the University," Julie said. "My dad was born at Hillman Hospital in 1933. My parents met in the accounting program at UAB. My sister was an Alpha Gamma there. My brother's medical team is at UAB. My daughter Sophia is a graduate and a former cheerleader at UAB, and my youngest daughter, Jessica, did her high school internship on the cardiovascular surgery stepdown unit at UAB. And my mother passed away at UAB."

UNIVERSITY OF AUCKLAND: PLANNED VOTING CHANGES COULD BE A CIVIC RIGHTS BREACH

Opinion: Claire Charters wonders if the Electoral Amendment Bill bill is a justified limitation on the right to vote or an attempt to rig voting in the coalition's favour? Sign for Voting Wahi Poti

You might recall that in the 2023 election, National and Act 'lost' two seats once the special votes were counted post-election day. In other words, the special votes weighed against them. This meant that they could not form a government without NZ First.

Fast-forward to July 2025. National, Act and NZ First have just passed the first reading on the Electoral Amendment Bill, a bill that will almost certainly reduce the number of special votes.

Is this bill an apolitical, justified limitation on the holy grail of democratic rights - the right to vote? Or is it a power-abusing, rights-breaching, Trump-esque attempt to rig voting in their favour?

Let's look at this a bit more closely.

One proposed amendment is that people must enrol to vote 13 days prior to election day. If they don't, they cannot cast a valid vote.

UNIVERSITY OF AUCKLAND: TURNING THE TIDE ON SHELLFISH FARMING IN NEW ZEALAND

A marine energy researcher is building a tide-powered shellfish nursery to boost survival rates for baby mussels, an innovation that could transform the way New Zealand farms its oceans. Mohamed Salman Engineering doctoral candidate Mohamed Salman is developing a tidally driven nursery system that helps baby mussels grow to market-ready size.

Imagine a business where 99.5 percent of the product never reaches the market. This is the reality for shellfish farming in New Zealand, where billions of juvenile GreenshellTM mussels, known as spat, are naturally lost in the ocean before they grow to market-ready size. While aquaculture is one of the country's fastest-growing industries, these losses mean fewer local shellfish on our plates, and millions of dollars lost every year. One solution is to raise these spat to larger sizes in nursery systems that help them survive the vulnerable early stages of life. These nurseries, called floating upwellers, are floating platforms that keep baby shellfish in mesh containers suspended in water, where nutrient-rich water is pumped over them to help them grow faster.

Some of the boat's accessories have become rickety and require frequent repairs, such as the pulley-and-cable system that lowered the white circle, known as a Secchi disk, into the water.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE: GERRYMANDERING ERODES CONFIDENCE IN DEMOCRACY

When politicians redraw congressional district maps to favor their party, they may secure short-term victories. But those wins can come at a steep price - a loss of public faith in elections and, ultimately, in democracy itself.

Shaun Bowler Shaun Bowler That's the conclusion of a peer-reviewed study led by UC Riverside political scientist Shaun Bowler, published in Political Research Quarterly. The research finds that partisan gerrymandering - the manipulation of district boundaries to lock in political advantage - does more than distort representation in Congress. It undermines the belief that elections are fair, a cornerstone of democratic legitimacy.

Bowler, a professor of political science, said survey data from tens of thousands of voters in the 2020 and 2022 elections show that Americans view gerrymandering with the same disdain they reserve for bribery and other blatant forms of political corruption. The difference, he said, is that gerrymandering is carried out in full public view, cloaked in arguable legality.

Consider the current push in Texas, where Republican legislators and Gov. Greg Abbott, encouraged by President Donald Trump, are working to redraw congressional districts to add five GOP seats as part a Republican effort to retain control of Congress after next year's midterm election.

"It's out in the open," Bowler said. "They're saying, 'We're rigging the midterm election to produce an outcome.'"

UCLA SAVES LIVES: BABY WITH HYPOPHOSPHATASIA THRIVING FOLLOWING THERAPY AT BIRTH

Before Francis Saputra was born on Feb. 3, 2025, he'd already been diagnosed with a rare and usually fatal disorder that's often not identified until birth.

But even more uncommon than his diagnosis was what happened immediately afterward. Within two hours - in what's likely the first case of starting treatment for this condition so young, according to his doctors at UCLA Health - Francis was able to begin enzyme therapy for the disorder. By his 3-month birthday, he was able to go home.

Francis' parents, Albert and Liviera Grace Saputra, had already lost one baby to the same genetic disorder, perinatal severe hypophosphatasia, which causes soft bones and teeth due to an inability to mineralize calcium. Cases range from mild to severe and can present prenatally, during the first few months of life, in childhood or in adulthood. The most severe prenatal form, which Francis has, affects only about 1 in 300,000 births and is fatal without immediate treatment.

It isn't always immediately diagnosed, however, with the symptoms often attributed to other genetic skeletal dysplasia conditions that affect bone growth such as osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease) or various forms of dwarfism.

For many first-generation Mexican American college graduates, the definition of success includes paying their parents' bills or even buying them a home.

Lifting the social or financial status of their elders is a goal that often defines upward mobility for Latinx millennials, especially the children of immigrants, according to a study by UC Merced sociology professor Daisy Verduzco Reyes.

Reyes, a researcher in the Latina Futures 2050 Lab at UCLA, spent 14 years developing the study, which tracked the life paths of 61 millennials (a demographic defined as people born between 1981 and 1995) who identify as Latinx, attended college in California and reside primarily in the state.

"As researchers, we do not have much documented data and analysis to help us see and understand the lives of this population," Reyes said. Reyes's interviews supported earlier studies that millennials are more likely to have paid for college themselves. She added that 85 percent of respondents were the first in their family to attend and graduate from college and 96% were of Mexican origin.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN DIEGO ANTIPARASITIC DRUG SHOWS POWER AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S AND DEMENTIA

Researchers at University of California San Diego and the University of Pittsburgh have found that using an existing drug to target nuclear speckles - structures within cell nuclei that regulate proper protein production, folding and degradation - could offer a completely new approach for treating neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The findings, published in Nature Communications, could also have implications for other diseases involving misfolded proteins, such as prion diseases and retinitis pigmentosa.

While researchers from Pitt led the effort to identify the drug - an existing pinworm treatment called pyrvinium pamoate - and demonstrated its initial potential for targeting nuclear speckles in a petri dish, UC San Diego researchers helped test it in living models of neurodegenerative diseases. Xu Chen, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Neurosciences at UC San Diego School of Medicine, was instrumental to this effort.

A patient survives surgery that once carried high risks. A wildfire is stopped before it reaches a neighborhood. A building stands firm when the ground shakes. A fighter pilot safely returns home.

These breakthroughs are made possible by federally supported university research-a proven engine for innovation that protects communities, strengthens the economy and improves lives across the nation.

At UC San Diego, that support is fueling discoveries that move from the lab to the real world: transforming medical care, advancing precision diagnostics, powering next-generation technologies and keeping the U.S. competitive on the global stage. Sustaining this momentum requires continued investment, as reduced funding could undercut the very progress that's powering a safer, smarter and stronger nation.

UC San Diego is built on a spirit of curiosity and a commitment to solving real-world problems. Here are eight innovations-some already making an impact, others on the verge-that are helping the U.S. stay ahead:

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN DIEGO IS THE RETURN TO OFFICE LEAVING WOMEN BEHIND

Remote and hybrid work became the norm after the COVID-19 pandemic, but more workplaces, like Amazon, JPMorgan Chase, Disney and even the federal government have mandated that employees return to offices in recent years. But not all employees are returning at the same rate. A recent U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics survey reveals that the share of employed people who spent time working at home on days worked was about the same in 2024 (33 percent) as in 2023 (35 percent). However, the share of men who spent some time working at home decreased from 34 percent in 2023 to 29 percent in 2024, while the share of women who did so remained the same at 36 percent. In fact, other data suggests that some women have left the workforce altogether due to return-to-office requirements.

What's striking about women who are opting to work from home more than men is that it also means many women may be at a growing disadvantage. Recent research reveals that face-time at the office is more likely to lead to pay raises and bonuses, promotions, and other perks like better assignments and career visibility.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN DIEGO A NEW WAY TO STUDY OMEGA FATTY ACIDS

Omega fatty acids are important to human health, including their role in metabolizing fats. Deviations in their position in a fatty acid chain can signal enzyme malfunctions or pathological metabolic processes, such as those occurring in cancer and autoimmune disorders. Now, researchers from UC San Diego and the University of Graz (Austria) have presented a new computational method to determine omega positions of lipids - the scientific term for fats - in complex biological samples including human tissues and blood.

Until now, the identification of omega positions of intact lipids has been challenging in complex biological samples. Only a few research groups worldwide had access to the required specialized analytical tools, but this new computational method will give researchers worldwide access to this information, with the potential to significantly advance lipid research. This new method is also more sensitive than prior approaches, making omega position information accessible even for lipids in very low concentrations.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN DIEGO A GENETIC TWIST THAT SETS HUMANS APART

Research from scientists at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have shed new light on an age-old question: what makes the human brain unique?

The team's discovery comes from their investigation of human-accelerated regions (HARs) - sections of the human genome that have accumulated an unusually high level of mutations as humans have evolved. There is a lot of scientific interest in HARs, as they are hypothesized to play an essential role in conferring human-specific traits, and also have links to neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism.

One reason why scientists think that HARs confer human-specific traits is because they have undergone rapid changes in their genetic sequences since we split from our closest living relative-the chimpanzee-approximately 5 million years ago.

Now, UC San Diego researchers have identified one particular HAR-called HAR123-that appears to be instrumental in shaping the human brain.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA BARBARA ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESS: GAUCHO RACING COMPETES AT THE MICHIGAN INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY

Any enthusiast will tell you, Formula One (F1) is peak motorsport. It's got speed and power, with technology born from the latest innovations, and strategy developed through teamwork and the minds of the finest in the field. From motor concept to race day, teams constantly encounter and deal with challenges big and small, and nothing is guaranteed until the race is over.

It's no surprise then, that engineering students with a taste for competition, excitement and a big challenge gravitate to F1 racecar building. It's certainly true of UC Santa Barbara's Gaucho Racing, a club that has grown to more than 60 undergraduates, who take it upon themselves to build the iconic single-seat, open cockpit racecar and bring it to the summertime Formula SAE Electric (FSAE-E) races in Michigan.

"It's a national competition that happens every year at the Michigan International Speedway," said Thomas Yu, who has served as Gaucho Racing's president for the past year. A subset of the more traditional gas-powered, internal combustion collegiate F1 vehicle race series held by the SAE, this competition requires its participants to build all-electric racecars. "They have about a hundred or so teams that compete in a bunch of different events," Yu explained, events that hand out points based on everything from the car to the team's organizational skills and business acumen.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA BARBARA NEW METHOD TO SYNTHESIZE CARBOHYDRATES COULD PAVE THE WAY TO BIOMEDICAL ADVANCES

Carbohydrate is a familiar term. It's the bagel you had for breakfast, the bread in your sandwich, the slice of cake you're thinking about sneaking later today. But carbs aren't only in baked goods, and they're not just found in foods. Small yet structurally complex carbohydrates serve as elements of cell walls and are important in intercellular interactions.

Scientists can quickly and reliably make many biomolecules, from DNA to proteins, using automated instruments. So it may come as a surprise that for decades, scientists have had major difficulty with small carbohydrates.

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara and the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (MPIKG) have discovered a way to selectively create the links that connect single sugars into short-chain carbohydrates, called oligosaccharides. The new technique enables precise control over the stereochemistry, or handedness, of the connecting bonds between sugar molecules. The team successfully used this method to construct sugar chains on an automated instrument.

A new book by Amin Ghaziani, an urban sexualities scholar who began his sociology professorship at UC Santa Barbara in July, has been named among a handful of finalists in the longest-running international awards competition highlighting LGBTQ+ voices in research and literature.

Among more than 1,300 titles across 26 categories, "Long Live Queer Nightlife" (Princeton University Press, 2024) is on the Lambda Literary Awards shortlist of top-five titles for the "Best Book in LGBTQ+ Nonfiction" published last year. Centered in London, the book covers the rise of inclusive and intersectional underground "club nights" in the wake of the widespread closure of gay bars worldwide.

"I could barely breathe when I heard the news," Ghaziani said. "All the finalists in my category are doing rigorous and engrossing work. It's a privilege to be in the company of such exquisite thinkers elevating LGBTQ+ lives and points of view."

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA BARBARA YEARS AFTER AN EARTHQUAKE, RIVERS STILL CARRY THE MOUNTAINS DOWNSTREAM

On May 12, 2008, the magnitude 7.9 Wenchuan Earthquake shook central China, its destructive tremors spreading from the flank of the Longmen Shan, or Dragon's Gate Mountains, along the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau.

Over 69,000 people died in the disaster, nearly a third are thought to be from geohazards like the more than 60,000 landslides that rushed down the slopes of the Longmen Shan.

After more than a decade and a half of work, scientists finally have an account of the fate of the landslide debris. Surveys of a reservoir downstream of the epicenter revealed how and how quickly the region's major river moved this sediment, as well as the effect it had on the river channel itself. The results, published in Nature, suggest that the hazards caused by megaquakes may last long after the ground has settled. What's more, they offer insights into a fundamental question of Earth science: How do earthquakes build mountains?

Shaking the mountains loose The Wenchuan Earthquake delivered rock and soil into the region's streams and rivers. Researchers are interested in how much of this material gets swept away by the river, known as the sediment flux. Previous case studies revealed that this comes in two varieties: suspended sediment in the water column; and bedload in the form of coarse material - from gravels to boulders - rolling and bouncing along the river bottom.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA BARBARA: CRANIAL LESIONS ARE SIGNS OF COMPROMISED IMMUNE FUNCTION

When trying to understand the health of long-past populations, sometimes you have to rely on nothing but the bones. In anthropology, porous cranial lesions (PCLs) - areas of pitting on the roof of the eye socket (called cribra orbitalia) and on top of the skull (called cribra cranii) - have traditionally been considered tell-tale signs of poor childhood health in past populations, but have rarely been tested.

Today, thanks in large part to advances in technology that allow for high-resolution scans of skulls in contemporary populations, scientists are now able to examine these features in living people with known medical histories, allowing a team of international researchers led by UC Santa Barbara Distinguished Professor of Anthropology Michael Gurven to find more concrete links between these cranial lesions, their physiological origins and their downstream effects.

In a study published in the journal Science Advances, Gurven and lead author University of Colorado, Boulder anthropologist and UCSB alum Amy Anderson along with an international group of collaborators examine the cranial tomography scans of adults from the Tsimane tribe, a population of Indigenous farmer-foragers who live in the jungle lowlands of Bolivia. They found evidence that people with cranial lesions show compromised immune function.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO FOUNDATION: THIS CHEMICAL TRICK COULD TURN LOSING MALARIA DRUG INTO A WINNER

The search for new ways to treat malaria - a disease that kills some 600,000 people a year, most of them children in Sub-Saharan Africa - may have just gotten a boost.

Chemists at UC San Francisco have found a way to rearrange the atoms in a new generation of malaria drugs to make them easier to put into pill form without forfeiting their effectiveness against the malaria parasite.

New malaria drugs are desperately needed. The parasite that causes the disease has developed resistance to today's best therapies and is spreading from Southeast Asia into Africa.

"Now that drug resistance is in Africa, many more lives are at risk," said Adam Renslo, PhD, professor of pharmaceutical chemistry in the UCSF School of Pharmacy and senior author of the paper. "These new molecules could give us the upper hand we need to control this deadly disease."

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE THE STUDENT WITH A COOL IDEA FOR BUILDING DESIGN

As the world grapples with rising temperatures and the challenges a rapidly changing climate poses for human survival, a Mastercard Foundation Scholar at the University of Cambridge has devised a novel way to help keep buildings cool in the heat.

Hauwa Busari, from Nigeria, has been studying for an MPhil in Architecture and Urban Studies at Cambridge over the last year. Her idea is to place panels in the walls to absorb the heat from the sun. These panels contain a naturally occurring substance - algae!

"The algae panel acts as a thermal shade against the sun keeping the building cooler" says Hauwa. "We spend 90% of our lives in buildings and if we don't find a solution to how climate change is impacting us, there's going to be a big problem and the most vulnerable in society are going to be the most affected.

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE WHY COMMON BLOOD PRESSURE READINGS MAY BE MISLEADING - AND HOW TO FIX THEM

Researchers have found why common cuff-based blood pressure readings are inaccurate and how they might be improved, which could improve health outcomes for patients.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is the top risk factor for premature death, associated with heart disease, strokes and heart attacks. However, inaccuracies in the most common form of blood pressure measurement mean that as many as 30% of cases of high blood pressure could be missed.

The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, built an experimental model that explained the physics behind these inaccuracies and provided a better understanding of the mechanics of cuff-based blood pressure readings.

The researchers say that some straightforward changes, which don't necessarily involve replacing standard cuff-based measurement, could lead to more accurate blood pressure readings and better results for patients. Their results are reported in the journal PNAS Nexus.

A drought lasting 13 years and several others that each lasted over three years may have contributed to the collapse of the Classic Maya civilisation, chemical fingerprints from a stalagmite in a Mexican cave have revealed. A detailed analysis of oxygen isotopes in the stalagmite allowed a team of researchers, led by the University of Cambridge, to determine rainfall levels for individual wet and dry seasons between 871 and 1021 CE, which overlaps with the Terminal Classic period of Maya civilisation. This is the first time it has been possible to isolate rainfall conditions for individual wet and dry seasons during the Terminal Classic, the time of societal decline historically referred to as the Maya collapse.

During the Terminal Classic, limestone Maya cities in the south were abandoned and dynasties were ended, as one of the ancient world's great civilisations shifted north and lost much of its political and economic power.

'TURNING BACK TIME': UCONN RESEARCHERS DEVELOPING TREATMENT TO REVERSE BRAIN DAMAGE FROM STROKE

In an ischemic stroke (the most common type), blood flow is blocked to a portion of the brain, depriving it of oxygen. This causes the immediate, recognizable symptoms of stroke: muscle weakness on one side of the body or face, slurred speech, and loss of balance.

But the brain damage that occurs from this lack of oxygen isn't temporary - it causes a cascading effect of inflammation and tissue damage within the brain. This is why stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide. Chronic consequences can include paralysis, memory loss, and depression.

UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT: A RAMP UP TO SCIENTIFIC SUCCESS

Earlier this year, UConn inducted three graduate students into the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP). The NSF GRFP is a highly sought-after opportunity, providing financial support for graduate scientific study.

Besides their can-do attitudes and wicked smarts, the three students shared something in common: they were all participants in UConn's Research and Mentoring for Postbaccalaureates in Biological Sciences (RaMP) program.

RaMP is a nationwide initiative funded by the NSF in 2022. UConn's RaMP program centers on the theme of "Genomic Novelty" - investigating how and why genomes change over time. Its faculty mentors include professors from the Departments of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology; Physiology & Neurobiology; and Molecular & Cell Biology.

The program's unique structure allows participants to pursue two major research milestones over the course of a full year: an independent project, advised by graduate student and faculty mentors, and an all-cohort group project which culminates in a summer publication.

In 2024, the UConn RaMP cohort published the world's first complete genome sequence of the desert hairy scorpion. This year, they did the same for the Everglades mink, one of the rarest mammals in the United States.

UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT: MACYS WELCOMES FOUR UCONN BUSINESS GRAD STUDENTS TO EXPLORE SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES

Macy's Inc. recently invited four UConn business graduate students to serve as consultants in a months-long project reviewing and analyzing the company's sustainable business practices.

Each of the four students were enrolled in the "Social Responsibility and Accountability in Business" course taught by business law professor Rachel Chambers. The course is part of a newer graduate program on Social Responsibility & Impact in Business.

The students took on the four-month project as an extracurricular challenge.

"It was definitely very daunting at first because we realized we were covering such a large area of the business, things consumers rarely think about like, 'Where did they get their hangers?,' and 'Who created their signs?,' or 'Who is cleaning the building?,"' says Caroline Keary '25 (BUS), '26 MS.

UNIVERSITY OF COSTA RICA: EXPERT VOICE: ACCESS TO PUBLIC INFORMATION IN COSTA RICA

Costa Rica has been a pioneer in promoting Open Government, being one of the first nations to join the Open Government Partnership (OGP) in 2012. This is an international initiative that seeks to strengthen transparency, citizen participation, and accountability in member countries through concrete commitments designed in collaboration with civil society. Belonging to this initiative is important because it improves trust in institutions, helps prevent corruption, and promotes more open and innovative public policies. Costa Rica's membership represents a commitment to the principles of transparency, accountability, and citizen participation, fundamental pillars for a more inclusive democracy.

In Costa Rica, this effort materialized in the creation of five Action Plans. Initially, these commitments fell solely on the Executive Branch; however, starting with the fourth plan, participation was expanded to include all three branches of government (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial). This marked a turning point, evolving the concept of Open Government into an Open State, which reinforces the institutional commitment.

Consolidating the practice of cultural or anthropological expert reports in judicial proceedings involving determining cultural factors will be one of the objectives for the different Indigenous peoples that make up Costa Rican society. The agreement between the University of Costa Rica (UCR) and the Judiciary, signed on August 6, enables the UCR to contribute its expertise in topics such as training judicial personnel in rights, cultural diversity, cultural expressions, and languages of Indigenous populations, among other aspects.

The Judiciary would facilitate access to necessary information by promoting the use of clear legal language, training its staff on issues of cultural diversity, and, in justified cases, covering the costs of expert reports in accordance with the Law on Access to Justice for Indigenous Peoples of Costa Rica. This law prioritizes key aspects such as dignified treatment, the right to information, priority access, the use of interpreters and translators, cultural expertise, free legal assistance, adaptation of the justice system, training of public officials, and access to information.

For the rector of the University of Costa Rica, Dr. Carlos Araya Leandro, "This agreement represents a fundamental step toward the effective recognition of cultural diversity as an essential component of the right of access to justice."

The National Laboratory of Materials and Structural Models of the University of Costa Rica (LanammeUCR) concluded the third audit report on the construction project for the Taras, 23rd Avenue, and La Lima interchanges, and the section between them, which has been carried out since 2020. Since the start of the audit, constant communication has been maintained with the Administration, through which deficiencies in the quality management of materials have been noted, as well as in construction practices, including lower resistance than specified in the contract for concrete structural elements such as foundations, piles, caps, and beams, which may reduce the useful life of the works.

Additionally, deterioration was detected, including cracking, primarily in the slab at the 23rd Avenue interchange, signs of rust on the support plates, exposed reinforcing steel showing signs of rust, and deficiencies in the asphalt surface. Traffic management recommendations were also made to ensure road safety for users during this and future projects.

The audit was conducted between September 2023 and September 2024. At the time of the report's issuance, several structures remained to be built, such as the La Lima roundabout, the La Lima underpass, a pedestrian crossing, sidewalks, access roads, and the rehabilitation of the pavement in the central section.

One of the most powerful pillars for social mobility in Costa Rica has undoubtedly been education, especially higher education. That is why it is essential that opportunities for public university enter reach those who face greater social and economic disadvantages. Because when education becomes an effective right and not a privilege, the whole country is moving forward.

Since its foundation, the University of Costa Rica has been much more than a think tank: it has become an open door for those who dream of improving their living conditions. However, in a country marked by cultural diversity and deep inequities, access to higher education remains uneven. Many people, especially in peripheral regions, face significant barriers: lack of resources, little information, or simply the absence of referents that make them think that it is possible.

The Economic Research Institute of the University of Costa Rica (IICE-UCR) celebrated its 70th anniversary on August 13th with visits from strategic partners, national companies, and institutions that have benefited from the knowledge generated by this research institute, founded in 1955.

Currently, the IICE-UCR produces periodic studies such as the Quarterly Business Opinion Survey (ETOE) and the Quarterly Economic Analysis, which are characterized by their neutral and descriptive information. These data currently inform national statistics and a general understanding of the Costa Rican economy. However, the IICE's work goes far beyond constructing and offering credible data; it has also been key in answering fundamental questions for decision-making that has shaped the country's direction. Former IICE director and current director of the Central Bank of Costa Rica, Dr. Juan Robalino Herrera, recalled that the institute's research innovation has made it possible, for example, to measure the impact of social investment. He highlighted the positive effects of the housing voucher in Costa Rica and the Avancemos program.

Avancemos had a significant impact on young men in rural areas, a key finding that demonstrates how to target and achieve more precise social policy. In turn, the housing bonus impacts the educational performance of those living in those homes.

UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE: DRUG TESTING KITS COULD FAIL TO KEEP INDIVIDUALS SAFE

Researchers from the University's Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Services (LRCFS) have shown that the strips do not detect many of the potent synthetic opioids, known as nitazenes, that they are designed to identify.

The ability to detect nitazene compounds in the UK has raised concerns among healthcare professionals, public health authorities, and law enforcement due to the increased variety of these compounds in circulation and the risk of fatal overdose. In response, thousands of nitazene testing strips have been distributed to help people check for these substances in drugs they may consume.

The LRCFS team found that false positives were observed when testing seized heroin samples, caused by the presence of caffeine, which is one of the most common cutting agents detected in illicit drug samples. False negatives were also obtained for some nitazene compounds now in circulation in the UK, such as metodesnitazene, which has been detected in drug related deaths.

Lead researcher Dr Victoria Marland said caution should be exercised when deploying these nitazene test strips as frontline tests in both criminal justice and public health contexts.

"While the strips successfully detected a majority of nitazene compounds, their inability to identify certain analogs raised serious concerns," she said. "A negative result may give people false reassurance, even though dangerous synthetic opioids could still be present.

"Additionally, the occurrence of false positives, due to the presence of caffeine - a common adulterant in illicit substances - raises concerns about their suitability for use as a harm reduction method.

The game is just one of 84 individual degree shows at the University of Dundee's Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design's Masters Show 2025, open to the public from 23-31 August.

Created by MA Animation & VFX student Lorena Welsing, the 2D game allows players to visit historic landmarks such as the Royal Arch and Dundee's port at a time when it was a centre for global trade in jute, as well as landmarks which still stand today.

Players can also make a virtual batch of marmalade, based on a James Keiller & Son's recipe from the 1800s, while learning about the history of the creation of the world-renowned company.

Lorena, who moved to Dundee from Germany to study at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design (DJCAD), said, "Growing up, I used to help my mum make her own jams and marmalades from scratch, something that I look back on and remember quite fondly.

"I always considered the process to be quite fun and relaxing and getting to taste the finished jam always felt rewarding.

"I hope that my game might just inspire someone to try it out for themselves and allow them to experience the joy of making and tasting fresh, homemade marmalade."

UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA: REDIRECTING YOUR UNIVERSITY JOURNEY THROUGH CLEARING

On Thursday 17 August, thousands of students across the UK will find out what the next chapter of their lives could look like.

For many, this will mean accepting their place at their firm choice of university. But for others, it will mean making a new choice - either because their grades didn't go as planned, or because their ambitions have shifted and they've decided to take a different route.

That's where Clearing comes in. It's the system used by UK universities to match applicants with available places on courses, and it's helped countless students start their degree in a way they might not have originally imagined.

Hear from students Earlgi, John, Gab and Imie about their personal journeys to UEA through Clearing.

Earlgi Dadzie - "I made the right decision by coming here"

A first-year Law student from London and the first in her family to attend university, Earlgi chose to enter Clearing after turning down unconditional offers elsewhere, deciding that commuting to a London university in her home city wasn't right for her.

An aspiring solicitor and founder of The Black Law Network (a platform dedicated to empowering Black aspiring lawyers through access, opportunity, and community), her story is a powerful example of how Clearing can unlock new opportunities. In her case, leading her to UEA.

She recalls: "My decision to go into Clearing was a last-minute decision. I'd already had in my mind that I wanted to go to uni to study Law, but it wasn't until the summer holidays when I had an internship in London and realised that London is very fast paced, that it'd be very similar if I went to uni there."

When she discovered UEA was offering guaranteed accommodation, she applied through a Clearing app and quickly knew she'd made the right choice.

"I would say that I made the right decision by coming here because UEA is beautiful. Norwich is an amazing town, but it's not too remote that there's not any diversity, and everything is way more affordable.

"The people here are amazing and very friendly. I've made some incredible friends, and it was very easy to make them as well."

UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA: THE NIGHT BUS SERVICE IS BACK FOR UEA STUDENTS

The Night Bus service, an initiative designed to enhance student safety and strengthen community wellbeing, will make a return thanks to a collaborative effort between the University of East Anglia (UEA), the University of East Anglia Students' Union (UEA SU), First Bus, and Norfolk County Council, demonstrating a shared commitment to the welfare of students and local residents.

The reinstated Night Bus service will operate from Monday 29 September as an extension of the existing 25 bus route, providing late-night transport from midnight until 5am, six days a week, with a ticket price of £3.

The route will begin at the University, pass along Unthank Road, travel through the city centre, and conclude at Norwich Train Station. The service is made possible through joint funding from the UEA, UEA SU, and Norfolk County Council, with each organisation contributing approximately £30,000.

Charlotte Melling, Transport and Events Manager at UEA, said:

"We're so glad the Night Bus is returning as a regular part of the Blue Line service timetable. We have worked constructively with First Bus over recent years, and this is an important and valued service for our students and the community.

The continuation of the Night Bus offers several key benefits, including enhanced safety for students during nights out and reliable transport for those working late shifts and using campus facilities. The service also improves accessibility for the wider community, offering a dependable option for late-night travel across Norwich."

Olivia Hunt, Activities and Opportunities Officer at UEA SU, highlighted the importance of support for the service, saying:

"I'm excited about the return of the Night Bus. This service greatly enhances nightlife accessibility and improves student safety. We encourage everyone to take full advantage of this initiative to ensure its success and longevity, as it operates on a 'use it or lose it' basis."

The reintroduction of the Night Bus service aligns with UEA SU's mission to provide essential services to the student body, promote safety, foster a strong sense of community, and integrate accessibility into the daily lives of students."

Amjad Daher, Communities and Culture Officer at UEA SU said:

"I'm really pleased to see the Night Bus service renewed for another year. Student safety is a top priority for me, and this service is a key part of making sure students feel safe and supported, whether they're heading home from a night out at the LCR, a late study session at the library, or an evening in the city.

The Night Bus plays a vital role in making UEA a safer and more accessible place for everyone. As Communities & Culture Officer, I'm proud to continue the work of previous SU officers who first championed this initiative. The Students' Union remains committed to listening to students and backing services like this that truly enhance student wellbeing and campus life."

UNIVERSITY OF ERLANGEN-NUREMBERG: GLOBAL QUANTUM ENCRYPTION: SMALL SATELLITES AS QUANTUM KEY GENERATORS

First test drive for quantum modules on the small satellite QUBE, developed in collaboration with FAU

The QUBE research mission, funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) and involving researchers from Friedrich-Alexander-Universitat Erlangen-Nurnberg (FAU), will use small satellites to test newly developed quantum communication technology in space for the first time. This is laying the foundation for continuing to be able to transfer data securely across the globe in future. Dr. Rolf-Dieter Jungk, state secretary at BMFTR, has now officially launched the first German research satellites.

Quantum key generation involves generating a secure binary sequence, the key, by exchanging very weak light signals. Keys generated in this way can be used to ensure secure communication across the globe between the satellite and several ground stations. QUBE is the first European small satellite to be launched into space, aimed at testing and continuing to develop new components for quantum key generation. QUBE is the size of a shoe box and has a mass of only 3.5 kg. This was achieved thanks to new miniaturization technologies, both for the satellite and for quantum payloads and laser communication terminals. Complicated steering maneuver and extreme material strain

After years of research, the interdisciplinary consortium QUBE was finally able to generate an optical connection between the satellite and the ground station. During the flyover at a height of 480 km, the position control system must angle the satellite to the ground station to be able to accurately pinpoint the receiving dish with its diameter of 80 cm using the on-board laser. And it must keep this position during the entire flyover maneuver lasting approximately 10 minutes in spite of having a speed of roughly 27,500 km/h. "For satellites of this size, the position control system ensures top accuracy and orientation stability," says ZfT President Prof. Dr. Klaus Schilling, at whose institute the system was designed and built. DLR project manager Benjamin Rodiger views the demonstration as an important success for optical communication: "We were able to follow the ray of light from the satellite for several minutes. That proves the excellent coordination between position control and the precise programming of our laser terminal and the optical ground station."

"It really is a milestone, now we can start our work with quantum modules," explains Harald Weinfurter, Professor of Experimental Quantum Physics at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen (LMU). "Our miniaturized quantum random number generator and all other components for quantum communication were developed to ensure that they remain fully functional even under extreme vibration, temperature and radiation conditions when taking off and when being used in space," explains Prof. Dr. Christoph Marquardt, Chair of Optical Quantum Technologies at FAU. The lessons learned will be borne in mind when constructing the second satellite QUBE-II. "This satellite is more than twice as big. Improved optics and extended quantum modules make a secure key exchange possible," says Janko Janusch, project manager at OHB and coordinator of the second phase of the QUBE initiative. The launch of QUBE-II is planned for summer 2026.

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA: STRAINED RELATIONSHIPS MAY MAKE FOSTER PARENTS QUIT

WWith nearly 400,000 kids in the U.S. foster care system, the process for recruiting and retaining foster parents can be difficult.

And new University of Georgia research suggests the quality of relationship between the foster caregivers can have a direct impact on their desire to keep fostering.

Researchers from UGA's College of Family and Consumer Sciences found that the less satisfied a couple was with their relationship, the less likely they - especially the mother - will want to continue fostering in the future. Evin Richardson

The researchers surveyed dozens of foster caregiver couples, and three types of foster parent relationships emerged: Ones in which both partners reported having a strong relationship, ones in which both reported a moderately strong relationship and ones in which the fathers viewed their relationship as moderately strong, and the mothers viewed it as poor.

"The need for foster caregivers is extremely high right now, and retention is just as important. While foster family structure varies, in foster homes that are headed by a couple, a high-quality home involves a stable relationship and a warm and stable household," said Evin Winkelman Richardson, corresponding author of the study and an assistant research scientist and co-director of the Couple and Relationship Enrichment Lab in the Department of Human Development and Family Science. "If a child moves into a home and then the foster caregivers decide to stop fostering, that's another life disruption for that child, which adds to their traumatic experiences."

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA: CURBING THE CNA WORKFORCE SHORTAGE

AAs the American population ages, the nation faces a crisis in its long-term care system - a shortage of certified nursing assistants.

A new study from the University of Georgia College of Public Health suggests that a lack of resources and advancement opportunities may be exacerbating the problem.

CNAs make up about one-third of all staff in nursing homes. But they provide about 90% of direct care, from helping with eating, bathing and mobility to providing companionship and monitoring for signs of illness. Portrait of male researcher Curt HarrisCurt Harris

"I don't think most people realize what a CNA does on a day-to-day basis, how oftentimes they are really the go-to person for nursing home residents," said Curt Harris, co-author of the study and the director of the UGA College of Public Health's Institute for Disaster Management.

And the number of CNAs is dwindling.

The workforce shortage is not new, the researchers said. But it was intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic, during which nursing homes lost more than 220,000 employees, including many CNAs. This led to reduced quality of care for residents, heightened stress for remaining staff and an escalating cycle of burnout and attrition.

"The crisis just continues to build upon itself and grow and grow and grow," said Austin Dobbs, study co-author and emergency preparedness manager in the Institute for Disaster Management. "Something has to change. It can't keep going the way it's going because the system can't sustain itself."

The Kupuna Interview Project, published in the American Journal of Community Psychology, offers a 360-degree view of lived experiences shared by elders across Hawaiʻi. It was developed through a partnership between UHManoa's Ha Kupuna National Resource Center for Native Hawaiian Elders, housed in the Thompson School of Social Work & Public Health, and ALU LIKE, Inc., a non-profit that supports Native Hawaiians with programs that foster self-sufficiency, well-being and cultural values.

Adapted during the COVID-19 pandemic, the project used three Zoom interviews per participant to foster deep pilina (relationships). These talk-story sessions revealed rich narratives on family traditions, cultural practices, childhood memories and encounters with the healthcare system. In total, 30 kupuna participated in the study.

"This article format privileges the voices of participants in research and highlights how research can have a positive impact on participants as well as on researchers," said first author Rachel Burrage, Thompson school associate professor.

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO: UIC STUDY SHOWS HOW THE BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER GETS LEAKIER WITH AGE

A new study from researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago reveals how the blood-brain barrier gets leakier with age, contributing to memory deficits. The study, published in Cell Reports, uncovered the molecular mechanisms behind this process and could provide new therapeutic targets to address cognitive decline earlier in the aging process.

Listen to story summary The blood-brain barrier is a layer of cells lining the brain's blood vessels that keep viruses, bacteria and toxins out while allowing helpful nutrients and chemicals in. A key structure of the blood-brain barrier are tight junctions that act as bridges between cells, restricting entry of molecules. A protein called occludin helps fulfill this essential role.

"It's a highly regulatable process that allows some molecules to go through and others to remain in circulation," said Yulia Komarova, UIC associate professor in the department of pharmacology and regenerative medicine at the College of Medicine and senior author of the study. "Basically, it's a mechanism that separates the central nervous system from everything else."

But like many physiological processes, the blood-brain barrier starts to malfunction as we age - it gets leakier. This can lead to memory changes as early as middle age, Komarova said. Exactly how this occurs is unclear.

UNIVERSITY OF JOHANNESBURG: CARIBBEAN INTELLECTUAL PROF DAVID SCOTT BRINGS SMALL AXE AND BIG QUESTIONS TO SOUTH AFRICA

The Johannesburg Institute for Advanced Study (JIAS) recently hosted one of the Caribbean's most formidable intellectuals, Prof David Scott, to discuss the postcolonial condition.

Scott - professor of anthropology at Columbia University in New York, founding editor of Small Axe, and author of the acclaimed new book Irreparable Evil - is no stranger to South Africa. Last year he delivered the inaugural Walter Rodney Lecture at JIAS. This year he returned with a two-part programme that cuts to the heart of his life's work: rethinking the postcolonial moment and building spaces for critical dialogue that can last for generations.

For JIAS director Prof Victoria Collis-Buthelezi, his visit embodied the institute's mission: "We're here to hold space for scholars from around the world to think with us, challenge us and offer new conceptual languages for grappling with our moment," she said. "Having David Scott here allows us to do that."

Scott's intellectual roots lie in 1970s Jamaica, a period marked by hope and upheaval. He came of age in the shadow of the Caribbean anti-colonial revolutionaries, who were "builders" of the postcolonial state. But his own generation witnessed the ruins: structural adjustment, the collapse of the Grenadian Revolution, debt crises that reshaped entire economies.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS: STUDY TRACES HISTORY OF LEGISLATION TO HELP LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS PAY FOR ENERGY

As extreme winter cold and rising summer temperatures drive energy bills higher, low-income households face utility shutoff for not being able to afford the cost. Policy addressing such energy insecurity has traditionally been viewed as the domain of poverty law, but new research from the University of Kansas proposes it should be a more central part of energy law. The work traces the history of legislation to assist in covering home energy bills and outlines how energy and poverty law could work together to ensure better energy insecurity policy.

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, known as LIHEAP, was established by Congress. The legislation recently marked its 40th anniversary as the centerpiece of federal low-income energy policy.

"Although it makes sense that help on energy bills is administered through social service programs, it's always bothered me that energy insecurity and energy burden are usually addressed only abstractly, as part of general affordability, in energy law. I pursued this research to better understand that split," said Uma Outka, William R. Scott Professor of Law at KU.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS: RESEARCH PINS DOWN SKILLS THAT MAKE A GOOD MUSIC THERAPIST

To be their best at serving all types of clients, music therapists must know something about and be able to play many different types of music. Far more important than their instrumental virtuosity is their musical flexibility, responsiveness and intent to help clients, according to University of Kansas researchers.

These are the findings of a deep-dive analysis of about a dozen veteran U.S. music therapists by a group of five co-authors, including William Matney, associate professor, and CharCarol Fisher, associate professor of the practice, both with the KU School of Music.

"Defining Music Therapy Musicianship: An Analysis of Music Therapists' Clinical Work" was published May 29 in the Journal of Music Therapy.

Participating therapists submitted a video recording of a client session (average length 35 minutes) for initial analysis, after which they were interviewed by two of the researchers. The tapes were then analyzed, and the therapists' work was categorized into 76 different musicianship "constructs," according to factors that included intention, engagement and preparation. In the end, the authors identify "10 core components of music therapy musicianship," as follows:

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS: NEW REPORT CLEARS A PATH FOR KANSAS' RESPONSE TO SUBSTANCE USE

After 15 months of in-depth research and statewide community engagement, the United to Transform report - commissioned by the Kansas Fights Addiction Act Grant Review Board (KFA), released Aug. 12 by the University of Kansas Center for Public Partnerships and Research (KU-CPPR) - provides the most comprehensive analysis to date of Kansas' substance use disorder (SUD) system.

Informed by the voices of more than 2,000 Kansans, the report outlines a path toward a more connected, effective and sustainable statewide response to the opioid epidemic and other substance use crises. KU-CPPR prepared the report at the request of Sunflower Foundation to support and inform the work of KFA.

In complex issues like SUD, where housing, health care, mental health, justice and community supports are deeply interconnected, a full-system view is essential. Over the course of the project, KU-CPPR and system partners co-developed a collective vision for transformation, supported by shared tenets, a statewide recommendation, key priorities and initial strategic levers to guide change. These elements, presented in the early sections of the report, are intended to support both state-level coordination and locally driven innovation.

The United to Transform report calls for a shift toward a holistic approach that centers the multifaceted needs of individuals and ensures their long-term well-being. Proven effective in other states, this approach reduces reliance on intensive treatment, lowers overall system costs and makes services more sustainable over time.

This fall the Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas will present three special exhibitions, beginning with "Soundings: Making Culture at Sea," which opens Aug. 12.

"Soundings" explores how visual representations of oceans from different times and places across history have helped humans articulate questions and concerns that are political, cultural and environmental. Themes for the show include maps as tools for both navigation and visualizing different cultural experiences; the sea as a source of both sustenance and suffering; the fragility of ocean ecosystems; the unique relationships that Indigenous cultures share with the ocean; and facilitating global trade. The exhibition is curated by Emily Casey, Hall Assistant Professor of American Art and Culture, in collaboration with Celka Straughn, Spencer Museum's director of academic programs.

"While we tend to locate human culture on the land we inhabit, the seas we imagine and cross are also a place where culture is created," Casey said. "This exhibition is a great example of collaborations between the museum and the classroom, and it was inspired by a course I teach at KU and the richness of the Spencer Museum's collection."

PRISON TO POSSIBILITY: KU TRIO PROGRAM HELPS INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS REBUILD THROUGH EDUCATION

Imagine spending 10 years behind bars with limited contact with the outside world. Then one night, you're removed from your cell and dropped off in an unfamiliar city, alone, with no job, no savings and no connections. This was the reality for Destney Williams, a former Topeka Correctional Facility inmate.

"I'm not from Topeka, and I didn't know anyone in Topeka when I got out of prison," Williams said. "They pretty much just kick you out and tell you to figure it out."

After a decade in a state prison and with no degree, Williams said she struggled to stay afloat, even after finding a job.

"I just couldn't afford to support myself no matter how many hours I worked," Williams said. "I just could not get ahead."

Reentry into society after years can be abrupt and overwhelming, especially for those who entered the system as teenagers. With little preparation, many have to navigate a maze of housing, employment and education alone. Their success can be the difference between moving forward and ending up back behind bars.

PROF. USMAN ACQUITS CARBON, POINTS FINGER AT HUMAN EXCESSES AT UNILAG INAUGURAL LECTURE

In a world quick to cast blame, carbon has long stood trial; vilified as the villain of ecological woes. However, at the 19th Inaugural Lecture in the 2024/2025 Academic Session of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) held on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, Professor Mohammed Awwalu Usman, the inaugural lecturer, turned the tide with research-based conviction.

In his enlightening inaugural lecture titled: Is Carbon Truly as Guilty as Charged? The Perspective of a Process Systems Engineer on Sustainability, Professor Usman brought before the gathering a compelling argument, one that challenges convention, invites a more nuanced conversation about the future of sustainability, and stirred a rethink.

With the precision of a systems engineer and the clarity of a scholar deeply immersed in his field, Professor Usman re-examined carbon's place in the climate change narrative. Rather than joining the chorus that vilifies carbon, he made a strong case for context by placing the spotlight instead on in-efficient human systems and indulgent practices that waste resources and damage the environment.

Drawing from years of meticulous research, Professor Usman shared insights from five (5) major studies; each one a testimony to what is possible when engineering meets foresight. From retrofitting refineries and integrating food-energy policies, to valorising waste and innovating greener industrial processes, his lecture showed that sustainability is not an illusion; it is achievable, measurable, and, with the right tools, scalable.

Professor Usman's daring verdict at the end of his lecture was to exonerate carbon as not being the culprit the world has masked it to be. He instead held up a mirror to humanity; to human excesses, greed, and careless march toward unsustainability.

Written by Professor Chris Anyaokwu of the Department of English, UNILAG, House of Aguba follows the haunting journey of Njokalima "Joka" Aguba, a successful man burdened by the secrets of his past. Estranged from his mother, Nne Blakky, who is ostracized by their village of Alih over accusations of witchcraft and familial misfortunes, Joka is forced to confront painful truths when a divine message compels him to return home before it's too late.

With a narrative steeped in the complexities of family, superstition, and social stigma, the students delivered a gripping performance that balanced raw emotion with impressive theatrical finesse that showcased their artistic maturity and reinforced the role of theatre as a mirror to society's deep-rooted issues. The stage play delved deep into Joka's internal turmoil as he navigated community hostility, suppressed guilt, and the ghosts of his upbringing, offering the audience a reflective experience that was intensely human and thought-provoking.

UNIVERSITY OF LIMERICK: UL RESEARCHERS TO LEAD EUR4 MILLION CROSS-BORDER CYBERSECURITY PROJECT

University of Limerick is to lead a major research project to enhance the cyber security of cross-border critical infrastructure.

CyberUnite, co-led by Professor Donna O'Shea of UL's School of Engineering and Dr. Kieran McLaughlin of Queen's University Belfast's Centre for Secure Information Technologies (CSIT), is a EUR4 million project that represents the first dedicated funding awarded by an Irish government agency to support collaborative research in cybersecurity.

The project was announced by Taoiseach Micheal Martin TD and Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science James Lawless TD as part of a EUR16 million allocation for four major cross-border research collaborations between higher education institutions in Ireland and Northern Ireland.

This landmark project brings together a world-class consortium of academic and industry partners, including Professor Thomas Newe from UL, Dr. Susan Rea from Munster Technological University (MTU) and Professor Utz Roedig from University College Cork (UCC), and, alongside industry partner Gas Networks Ireland (GNI). Together, they will develop innovative solutions to protect essential cross-border critical infrastructure protection from evolving cyber threats.

The CyberUnite project aims to secure cross-border critical infrastructure by advancing resilient and adaptive cybersecurity for cross-border social and economic systems. Its research methodology focuses on achieving rapid all-island, coordinated development of novel and transformative cybersecurity solutions so that key sectors of our shared economy can protect their operations against cyber-attacks. Through collaboration and knowledge-sharing, the project will enhance cyber-resilience and improve both economic and security of critical infrastructure, while also building a unified cybersecurity research ecosystem.

Commenting on the award Professor O'Shea said: "This award marks a significant milestone-not only for UL, but for the national cybersecurity research community. CyberUnite's programme will provide the foundation for an ambitious, large-scale, all-island collaboration that will catalyse future investment, enhance capacity, and significantly grow Ireland's global standing in cybersecurity research and innovation.

"Importantly, UL is in an incredibly strong position to lead the long-term vision for a dedicated national cybersecurity research centre. This strength is underpinned by our proven track record, the depth and quality of existing academic programmes in the School of Engineering, the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering (ECE) and research within the Faculty of Science and Engineering."

Each of the four selected projects will receive up to EUR4 million over a four-year period. These projects were chosen following a highly competitive process involving 131 applications from 17 higher education institutions, evaluated by international experts. This outcome confirms the strong appetite between Ireland and Northern Ireland's Higher Education and Research Institutions to collaborate on an all-island basis.

Announcing the funding, Taoiseach Micheal Martin TD said: "Deepening cooperation between higher education institutions and researchers on a cross-border basis to conduct research of economic and social benefit to the whole island is a key priority of the Government's Shared Island Initiative.

"I am very pleased to see the Higher Education Authority in this second round of the programme enabling four major new institutional cross-border research partnerships with this focus.

"I congratulate all of the successful research teams and institutions and look forward to seeing the outputs and benefits that each project will deliver in the years ahead."

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science James Lawless TD said: "Since my appointment, I have actively engaged in strengthening North-South collaborations between higher-education and research institutions. Today's announcement is a clear demonstration of the potential we unlock when we work together at scale.

"These projects, spanning cybersecurity, language and identity, Parkinson's disease research, and inclusive design, demonstrate the potential of what shared research ambition can achieve. They will foster innovation, inform policy, and enhance quality of life across communities. Crucially, they set the stage for deeper collaboration in the years ahead."

The investment is delivered through the second call of the North-South Research Programme (NSRP), administered by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) and is a key pillar of the Government's Shared Island strategy, advancing an all-island research agenda that strengthens cross-border ties and delivers real, lasting impact for communities across Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Higher Education Authority CEO, Dr Alan Wall added: "The Higher Education Authority is delighted to deliver the North South Research Programme which is a unique funding mechanism supporting the growth of research collaboration across all disciplines on an all-island basis. Projects funded under Call 2 have been selected based on excellence following a competitive call for proposals. Each project will receive up to EUR4 million over four years. The Call 2 projects will build on the success of Call 1 and further strengthen collaboration, research capacity and knowledge sharing on the island of Ireland."

UL LECTURER'S SUMMER CAMP EQUIPS SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH 'IN-DEMAND' DIGITAL SKILLS

School students attending a University of Limerick Geography lecturer's summer camp completed the programme equipped with 'in-demand' digital skills and hands-on experience of top geographical technologies.

More than 60 school students, aged 10 to 16, recently attended Carlow College, St Patrick's to participate in this immersive digital skills summer camp, designed and led by Dr Immanuel Darkwa, Assistant Professor in Geography at UL.

Now in its second year, and supported by local schools and county partners, the camps are designed to empower young people with critical digital and spatial analysis skills, using real-world environmental and cultural data relevant to their communities.

Participants of the week-long programme learned how to use Google Earth Pro to map environmental change in their local area; create StoryMaps to tell narratives about biodiversity, local climate risks, and heritage sites; use RStudio to visualise geospatial data; and, using the geographic information system QGIS, analyse spatial datasets to explore topics like green space distribution and sea-level rise.

The ICTEA conference series was established to provide an opportunity for the professional development of scientists and engineers in the Middle East, including the Mediterranean, the Gulf and North African regions and to link them to their counterparts from Europe, Asia and America. The need for such development persists, despite the strong commitment of governments to improving undergraduate education and to building research capabilities in institutions of higher learning. Until recently, attracting highly motivated academic staff to advance research agendas and to make significant contributions to GDP growth were not among the top priorities. Thanks to the foresight of regional leaders, higher education in these regions is beginning to evolve. However, the fact remains that highly skilled scientists and engineers in the regions who are dedicated to research are often obliged to seek work abroad in academic and research institutions to further their professional development. This conference therefore, also serves as an opportunity for migrant scientists and engineers to network.

UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA: THROUGH A HOPEFUL LENS

In 2024, when UM alum Sarah Forgie [B.Sc.(Med.)/95, MD/95] joined the University of Saskatchewan (USask) as dean of the College of Medicine, she immediately felt the weight of her new position.

"I had media calling and asking, 'How are you going to solve the health-care crisis?'" recalls Forgie, a pediatric infectious disease specialist.

Forgie had previously held leadership roles at the University of Alberta (U of A), including department head of pediatrics, and national roles in her field. Her many accomplishments included establishing a children's hospital infection prevention and control program.

She was well aware of the challenges in Saskatchewan, from strained rural services to long wait times for care. But she arrived with an upbeat perspective on quality improvement.

She believes in applying an "academic lens" to everything in the health system - that is, scientifically studying it to understand what works, what doesn't, and how to make it better.

She credits her UM education for that outlook. "There always seemed to be a research piece attached to the clinical piece, and that's something I've carried with me."

Forgie spent the first seven years of her life in the northern community of Lynn Lake, Man., where her South Indian mother and British father were physicians.

The family moved to Winnipeg, and Forgie went on to earn a science degree at the University of Toronto. She returned for medical studies at UM, where she was elected senior stick of her class and witnessed some creative teaching approaches.

REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN: UNPACKING CHAOS TO PROTECT YOUR MORNING COFFEE

To help manage agricultural practices with fewer or no pesticides, University of Michigan researchers say they need to understand how ecological systems work on agricultural lands.

Now, U-M researchers John Vandermeer and Ivette Perfecto have used two ecological theories to describe a tangle of interactions between three ant species and a recently introduced fly that preys on one of the ant species. Their work on a coffee farm in Puerto Rico shows that the interaction between the ants and the predator fly creates chaotic patterns-chaos in the classical sense, in that natural populations are subjected to fluctuations depending on the interactions of organisms within a system. John Vandermeer, University of Michigan professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, checks a coffee bush for ants on a coffee farm in Puerto Rico.

These chaotic patterns mean that any one of the four insect species could be dominant at any point in time. Understanding which ants may be dominant over time may help farmers use the ants to manage pests on their farms. Their study, supported by the National Science Foundation, is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Many of Michigan's local government officials-especially at the city and county level-believe a temporary or permanent loss of public funding will cause financial problems, though fewer are preparing for such cuts.

The findings come from the latest installment of the Michigan Public Policy Survey conducted by the University of Michigan's Center for Local, State, and Urban Policy. They are particularly relevant as the clock runs down or out on major federal funding sources.

Overall, 40% of local government officials statewide say the loss or pause of one type of federal or state funding will pose problems. However, that jumps to 72% of city leaders and 68% of their counterparts in Michigan counties.

The study also finds that 60% of local governments currently aren't preparing for a loss of funding. Cities and counties are more likely to say they are making preparations while villages and townships are less likely.

And that's exactly what completing the Doctor of Nursing Practice program at the University of Missouri-St. Louis College of Nursing did for Cobb.

Cobb, who earned her BSN from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in 2012, has worked in inpatient and outpatient behavioral health for 12 years. She found her passion for behavioral health while working as a registered nurse in home health, where she quickly realized how much she enjoyed being able to talk to her patients one on one and work through issues together.

After working as a regional float nurse in different behavioral health units across SSM Health locations in St. Louis, Cobb started thinking about ways she could affect change on a bigger level. She knew she wanted to work as a nurse practitioner - ideally on the psychiatric mental health track - and soon landed on the DNP program at UMSL.

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-ST LOUIS: RECORD FUNDRAISING HELPING PREPARE UMSL TO MEET THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS AND REGION INTO THE FUTURE

The University of Missouri-St. Louis has served a vital role in the St. Louis region, educating people from all walks of life and developing the workforce to drive it forward over more than six decades.

New investments from alumni and supporters have been helping UMSL develop innovative programs and transform the physical campus so that it continues to serve the needs of students and the wider region in the years ahead.

The university received $46.7 million in gifts and pledges during Fiscal Year 2025, which ended on June 30. That was more than double the $20 million total in FY2024.

Donors directed $22 million to support scholarships and other student success support.

"We are so grateful to UMSL alumni, friends and donors who believe in the mission of the University of Missouri-St. Louis to transform the lives of our students and people in our community and who are making key investments to support that work," Chancellor Kristin Sobolik said. "The trust and backing they provide UMSL is helping us renovate learning environments, add and grow scholarships and build lasting workforce and community partnerships that will help prepare our students for success in their careers and their lives."

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-ST LOUIS: ACCOUNTING ALUM KERRIE MCKENNA-FORBES CELEBRATES 15 YEARS AT BANK OF AMERICA

Kerrie McKenna-Forbes started working as a teller at Bank of America shortly before she began taking classes at the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 2010.

This summer, she's celebrating her 15th year with the company - she's now a senior credit underwriter - with a four-week sabbatical that's designed to give dedicated, long-time employees a chance to reset and decompress at regularly scheduled intervals in their careers.

"I made a list of things I wanted to do at home, projects here and there, and getting my daughter ready for pre-K school and everything like that," she said. "Little by little, I'm knocking them off the list. My work phone was at 6% the Friday before I clocked out, and I just let it sit on the counter and die. I haven't looked at it. It's being a brick."

Ask McKenna-Forbes about her career, and she likes to say that the stars have just aligned, that her career has fallen into place. And that is accurate, to a degree, but the far more important aspect to her success is how hard she worked to put herself in position to thrive. While at UMSL for two years earning her accounting degree, McKenna-Forbes worked three jobs - as a teller, as a nanny and at the front desk of a 24-Hour Fitness - while being part of the Pierre Laclede Honors College and also picking up occasional shifts at a local restaurant.

"Going to a four-year institution for such a prestigious degree while working three jobs and managing to do it all is definitely multitasking," she said. "It prepared me for real world. I got up early, I came to school, got my work done, went to work and then I'd go to a library and do my homework. It proved that I could do it, and I think that set me up for where I'm at now. I think, 'I can do this work. I know I can. I just need to sit down, focus and break it down by task and do it.' I know because I've done it."

For nearly 75 years, the St. Louis Optometric Society has provided continuing education to local optometrists with the goal of improving visual health across the greater St. Louis community. And as of this summer, a familiar face is leading the local chapter.

Nabhan, who has been a member of the SLOS since graduating from UMSL's College of Optometry in 2012, was first asked to serve on the board in 2022. He started his work with the chapter as sergeant at arms before moving into the position of treasurer, then secretary, and, now, president.

"Tareq will be an amazing fit as our president," SLOS Executive Director Jan Oliver said. "He has an all-encompassing perspective as a full-time faculty member and lead attending physician at UMSL and Affinia Healthcare. His knowledge and expertise when it comes to computers and software knowledge has already streamlined the way that meetings are presented. With his expertise and travel background, Tareq has the ability to introduce our society to endless possibilities."

EVENTS CALENDAR: UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-ST LOUIS: COMMUNICATION MASTERS STUDENT KEN WESTERMANN TO PRESENT AT THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES IN PARIS

In 1987, the Partnership for a Drug-Free America launched what would become one of the most famous public service announcements in the history of health communication: "This Is Your Brain on Drugs."

In the first 30-second commercial, a man holds up an egg and says, "This is your brain." He then motions to a ripping hot frying pan on the stovetop, "This is drugs." He cracks the egg into the pan, which sizzles and sputters, and then delivers the PSA's pointed message, "This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?"

Ken Westermann vividly remembers watching the PSA during its initial run.

"I was a teenager when those ran, and I was the target demographic," Westermann said. "Still to this day, when I see an egg sizzling in a frying pan, I think, 'There's my brain on drugs.' So, it had a lasting impact. It stuck with me."

More than three decades later, Westermann revisited the PSA as a communication master's student at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Westermann wrote a research paper on the history and effectiveness of the campaign for Associate Professor Stephanie Van Stee's course on health communication. Now, he has been invited to share his paper with an international audience of communication students and professionals in Paris.

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-ST LOUIS: ACCELERATED MASTERS STUDENT GRANT EBERT FILLING BIG SHOES AS ACCOUNTING CLUB PRESIDENT

As Grant Ebert thought through his future college options while growing up in Fredericktown, Missouri, the University of Missouri-St. Louis was always in the conversation.

He was already familiar with UMSL because his mom, Stephanie, graduated from the College of Nursing in 1996 and still works as a registered nurse. And as he researched his own potential choices, he became even more familiar with UMSL through the university's stellar reputation.

When he was in eighth grade and considering optometry as a career path, UMSL always popped up at the top of those rankings. When he switched his focus to accounting during high school - after productive conversations with family members who were in the field - UMSL's department again bubbled up to the top of his list.

"I looked up the top CPA exam pass-rate schools in Missouri, and UMSL was right in the top three at the time, so I decided to come here," he said. "And my sister, Olivia, was transferring from Arkansas State University to finish up her master's degree in social work, and so she came here with me. We stayed in an apartment together my freshman year. I've been very happy with my choice. The program, especially the accounting program in the business school, is phenomenal. I've really enjoyed all of my teachers and everyone, all the students that I've met here. It's been great."

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-ST LOUIS: 2023 GRAPHIC DESIGN ALUM NICOLE DUFOUR BUILDS ON PASSION FOR ILLUSTRATION WITH CHILDRENS BOOK, THE STAR DWELLER

When she was a kindergartener in 2006, a painting she made got into an art show at the Jamestown Mall in Florissant, Missouri. The painting was simple - just DuFour and her best friend standing in the grass, with the sun in the right-hand corner and a butterfly in the sky - but the experience had a lasting impact on the budding artist.

"It was a basic kid thing," she said. "It was really just what you would expect a kindergartener to make, but I remember it so vividly. I remember having my art on display, and I was just like, 'Whoa, people can do this?' I think it sparked right then and there that I knew I wanted to pursue art as a career."

DuFour's parents encouraged her aspirations to become an artist, which eventually led her to the Department of Art and Design at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, where she transferred from St. Louis Community College as a junior. Despite some initial challenges - DuFour started her studies at UMSL amid the COVID-19 pandemic - she felt that the university's supportive art community helped her thrive.

"At UMSL, it was really welcoming," DuFour said. "I feel like the graphic design program I was in was challenging, but my classmates and I relied on each other and worked with each other to make it work. There are times where you're really down and hard on yourself, and you're like, 'Is this even possible?' 'Can I even do this?' They really lifted me up during that time. We came together as an art community to have our ideas out there. Because of UMSL and the program that we have for the art department, I was able to pursue what I really wanted to do, which is write and illustrate children's books."

UNIVERSITY OF MONTREAL: EVEN ONLINE, BODY LANGUAGE IN COURT STILL MATTERS

In the spring of 2020, everything changed, Many people's lives moved online. Court trials were no exception.

"The wheels of justice had to keep turning despite the pandemic," recalled Vincent Denault, a professor in Universite de Montreal's School of Criminology. "But now that the pandemic's over, should virtual trials continue? We need a better overview of their effects."

To explore the challenges of online justice, Denault surveyed Quebec judges about their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. In fall 2020, he sent them an online questionnaire about the influence of extra-legal factors in virtual trials.

The questions covered a variety of topics such as the credibility and preparation of witnesses and the impact of the pandemic. Fifty-six judges responded. In an article in International Criminology, Denault examines their answers to questions about the influence of non-verbal factors in court. Not less, just different Vincent Denault

Denault has long been interested in how prejudices and stereotypes can shape interpretations of the non-verbal communication that happens in a courtroom - this is, everything other than words, from the atmosphere in the room to the punctuality and demeanour of witnesses.

"Not looking someone in the eye isn't a reliable sign that you're lying, but beliefs like that can decide the outcome of a trial," Denault said.

Universite de Montreal doctoral graduate Caroline Piaulet-Ghorayeb and her team are unequivocal: TRAPPIST-1 d, the third planet orbiting the small star TRAPPIST-1, doesn't have an Earth-like atmosphere.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, they've observed that despite its Earth-like size and its position near the edge of its star's temperate zone, where liquid water could theoretically exist, this rocky planet is far from being an Earth 2.0.

"What we ultimately want to know is whether an environment like Earth's can exist elsewhere, and under what conditions," said Piaulet-Ghorayeb, now a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Chicago.

Operated by NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency, the Webb telescope "is finally allowing us to ask that question for Earth-sized planets, and already, we can cross TRAPPIST-1 d off the list of worlds that might resemble our own," said Piaulet-Ghorayeb.

As part of our ongoing efforts to position the University of Nebraska for long-term strength and financial sustainability, I am writing to share that we are offering a Voluntary Separation Incentive Program (VSIP) to eligible tenured faculty across each of our campuses this fall.

We are grateful for the dedication and service that all of our faculty and staff bring to the university's mission every day. While the VSIP is available only to qualifying faculty members, the program reflects a broader commitment to thoughtful planning and stewardship - work that benefits from the talent and contributions of our entire university community.

We believe it is both appropriate and timely to offer a flexible retirement option to our most senior faculty, many of whom have given decades of service to the university and played a significant role in advancing the university's mission. We understand from campuswide input that some faculty may be contemplating retirement; the VSIP offers a meaningful pathway for those individuals, while also providing the university with the opportunity to strategically realign resources by reinvesting in key priorities and preparing for future uncertainties.

More than 50 organizations - including the National Emerging Special Pathogens Training and Education Center supported by members of UNMC's Global Center for Health Security team - participated in a national exercise earlier this summer meant to test the safe transport of patients with a high consequence infectious disease.

On May 22, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services introduced a new Portable Biocontainment Unit to transport such patients. In April, UNMC received one of only two units in existence, with the intent to train others on its use.

The initiative, funded by the U.S. Administration of Strategic Preparedness and Response, marks the first domestic asset for isolating and transporting patients with contagious diseases to Regional Emerging Special Pathogen Treatment Centers using both ground and air transport.

The training exercise, called Tranquil Passport, spanned four days in late June.

It was aimed at evaluating existing plans, processes, procedures, authorities and capabilities, while utilizing the Portable Biocontainment Unit.

John McClain Jr., PhD, a passionate advocate for students and strong promoter of pathway programs, died Aug. 1 in Omaha. He was 77.

Dr. McClain spent 24 years at UNMC (July 1985 to June 2009) in a variety of roles, from chief student affairs officer to associate vice chancellor for academic affairs and graduate studies - a position he held from 2004 to 2007.

"Dr. McClain was a passionate advocate for UNMC students and a strong promoter of diverse pathway programs for underserved students who sought to become health professionals," said Bob Bartee, retired vice chancellor for external relations, who worked alongside Dr. McClain. "He was one of the key players who built MMI into a powerful force in the provision of diagnosis, care and outreach to children with developmental disabilities.

"John was engaged in the community and a savvy interpreter of current trends as represented by cultural indicators in movies, music and literature. He leaves a strong academic and personal legacy among his colleagues, family and friends."

UNLV emergency physician Nathan Hollister and local performer Scott McDonald, along with faculty from the School of Integrated Health Sciences and the College of Fine Arts, organized the "Circus Meets Medicine" conference to bridge the gap between the medical and circus communities after noticing a lack of specialized protocols for treating injuries among circus performers compared to professional athletes.

"Circus Meets Medicine brings together performers and healthcare professionals to continue a conversation about the needs of the artistic community and the advancement of research and science," said Hollister. "It brings important stakeholders into the same room so that researchers and those working in healthcare can share the latest advancements and current projects, and performers can share what new or growing concerns they are experiencing." The conference seeks to educate medical professionals, stimulate research in this field, and aims to provide insights into performers' unique injury patterns, recovery needs, and ways to refine medical approaches tailored to their demands. "This year will also act as the launch of the UNLV Consortium of Arts + Medicine, a working group founded on the pillars of research, education, community engagement, healthcare and treatment, and social support," continues Hollister.

UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS: MEASLES: COULD AN OUTBREAK COME TO SOUTHERN NEVADA?

As of early August, more than 1,300 confirmed measles cases have been reported across the country. And now, measles pathogens have been detected in local wastewater by the Southern Nevada Health District. The last outbreak in Southern Nevada occurred in 2015, with the last confirmed case in 2018.

Though an individual with measles hasn't been identified locally, wastewater surveillance indicates that the virus may be present. And local health officials are stepping up monitoring efforts and have urged residents - especially families with school-age children - to make sure they are up to date on the most effective precaution available: the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.

Measles is one of the most contagious human diseases and can cause serious health complications in youngsters. Common symptoms include high fever, cough, runny nose, red watery eyes, and a rash. According to the Centers for Disease Control, if one person has it, up to 9 out of 10 people nearby can become infected if they are not vaccinated.

UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD VIKING SILVER HOARD REVEALS FAR-REACHING TRADE LINKS BETWEEN ENGLAND AND THE ISLAMIC WORLD

New research into a remarkable Viking-Age silver hoard discovered in North Yorkshire, led by Dr Jane Kershaw,  Associate Professor of Viking Age Archaeology, School of Archaeology, has shed light on the international scope of Viking wealth - revealing that a significant proportion of the silver originated not from local raids, but from long-distance trade networks extending deep into the Islamic world.

The study used geochemical analysis to trace the origins of silver ingots and jewellery items from the Bedale hoard, discovered in 2012. The results show that while the bulk of the silver derives from western European sources - likely from Anglo-Saxon and Carolingian coinage acquired through raiding or ransom - a substantial portion originated from Islamic silver coinage, or dirhams, transported via Scandinavian trade routes.

The hoard, which includes 29 silver ingots and several elaborate neck-rings, dates to the late ninth or early tenth century and reflects the blending of different cultural and economic influences in Viking Age England. Significantly, the analysis confirms that the Vikings did not rely solely on looting to accumulate wealth, but also participated in far-reaching commercial networks stretching across Europe and into the Middle East and Central Asia.

UNIVERSITY OF OXFORDWOMEN WITH OBESITY SEEKING IVF FOUND TO BE 47% MORE LIKELY TO CONCEIVE NATURALLY AFTER WEIGHT LOSS

The University of Oxford-led research, funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research, analysed 12 international trials involving 1,921 women. Beyond the increase in natural conception, the study found weight loss interventions increased the odds of any pregnancy (naturally or by IVF) by 21%.

The findings, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, are particularly significant as NHS commissioning bodies across England restrict access to NHS-funded IVF for women with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 30. The study suggests that providing structured weight loss support could not only help women become eligible for NHS-funded treatment but may also increase their chances of conceiving without medical assistance.

Dr Moscho Michalopoulou, lead author from Oxford's Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, said: 'Currently, women with obesity can face a double challenge with higher rates of infertility and potential exclusion from NHS-funded IVF. Our findings offer hope. They suggest that offering structured weight loss support could improve the chance of conceiving naturally, which may avoid the need for IVF treatment. Programmes that help women achieve greater weight losses have the potential to help more women achieve a successful outcome, and should be tested in larger high-quality trials.'

Senior author Yarin Gal, Associate Professor of Machine Learning at Oxford's Department of Computer Science, said: 'The research community has made great progress with AI safeguards over the past few years, but a remaining massive challenge is safeguarding open weight models - how do we build models that we can distribute to all without raising risks of misuse. Our study makes a significant stride in this direction.'

Embedding safety from the start

This approach represents a shift in the approach to AI safety: rather than retrofitting safeguards, safety is embedded from the start. The method reduces risk without sacrificing openness, enabling transparency and research without compromising security.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA: THRIVING WHILE SURVIVING: UNDERSTANDING THE SOCIAL NEEDS OF CANCER SURVIVORS

There is growing recognition of the important role that social needs such as access to food, housing, and transportation play in health care, as research has demonstrated their impact on physical and emotional well-being in a number of patient populations.

Now, in a study published in Current Oncology Reports, a collaborative team led by researchers from the School of Social Policy & Practice (SP2) has conducted a scoping review to determine what is known about the unmet social needs of U.S. cancer survivors.

"This is a neglected population," says SP2 associate professor Tamara J. Cadet. She adds that while institutions have developed ways to celebrate the completion of treatment, and research has focused on the psychological needs of survivors-adjusting and coping-"there are also all these social needs that we know nothing about." Understanding those needs, she says, is essential to developing effective interventions to address them.

"The goal is to compile the available evidence and present what the literature tells us on a topic," says SP2 assistant professor Meredith Doherty. [A scoping review] can help describe or map the landscape of what the scientific research on this topic looks like so that we can build from there."

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA: AI VISION, REINVENTED: THE POWER OF SYNTHETIC DATA

In the race to develop AI that understands complex images like financial forecasts, medical diagrams, and nutrition labels-essential for AI to operate independently in everyday settings-closed-source systems like ChatGPT and Claude currently set the pace. But no one outside their makers knows how those models were trained or what data they used, leaving open-source alternatives scrambling to catch up.

Now, researchers at Penn Engineering and the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2) have developed a new approach to train open-source models: using AI to create scientific figures, charts, and tables that teach other AI systems how to interpret complex visual information.

Their tool, CoSyn (short for Code-Guided Synthesis), taps open-source AI models' coding skills to render text-rich images and generate relevant questions and answers, giving other AI systems the data they need to learn how to "see" and understand scientific figures. The research is detailed in a paper for ACL 2025, a global AI conference.

Three years ago, when Kithya Borey was a second-year high school student, his then-science teacher suggested he might be a good fit for a rigorous research-focused summer program at Penn. It helped that Borey had no summer plans, but he was also intrigued by the prospect of lab work at the college level. He took a leap and applied, earning a spot in the highly selective Penn Research Experience for High School Students (PREHSS), previously called Penn LENS. View large image Two high school students woking with pipettes in a science classroom. Every year, a small group of students from Philadelphia public and charter high schools take part in the highly selective Penn Research Experience for High School Students. Throughout their five weeks on campus, those students are immersed in hands-on STEM projects, getting a rare look at doing science in college-or even as a career.

Borey, now a rising second-year at Penn studying biochemistry and biophysics, says his 2022 stint with PREHSS-where he spent five weeks working on a bioinformatics project-gave him the confidence to explore his interest in science. "The chance to work alongside faculty from different fields helped me understand how scientific questions are tackled from multiple angles," Borey says.

PREHSS, offered to rising third- and fourth-year students in Philadelphia with a strong and demonstrated interest in STEM, pairs these high schoolers with graduate students, postdocs, and other research staff who work with them in a lab under the supervision of senior faculty. They focus on specialized projects that they ultimately present during a concluding symposium. This year, the program ran from the end of June to the end of July, with students based in labs from many Penn Arts & Sciences departments, including chemistry, psychology, biology, earth and environmental science, as well as Penn Medicine's division of transplant surgery.

UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND WHY HISTORICAL HEALTH DATA FALLS SHORT IN PREDICTING FUTURE HEALTH CARE NEEDS

The average 65-year-old in 2025 has very different health needs compared to a 65-year-old in 1950.

Yet governments often still use historical, age-based and gender-specific profiles to predict how we will use health services at every stage throughout our lives.

This approach, based on invalid assumptions, explains why supply and demand for healthcare can be so out of whack - and why the disparity could be even worse for the 65-year-olds of the future.

A flawed method Relying on current or past use of health services by age group and gender to project onto future population estimates is fundamentally flawed.

It assumes health care needs remain constant, but in reality they evolve over time due to a range of factors including changes in diet, environment and technology.

These influences can affect individuals differently depending on when they were born - their 'birth cohort' - particularly if they occurred during critical developmental periods.

UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND 70 YEARS OF DATA SHOW EXTREME HEAT IS ALREADY WIPING OUT TROPICAL BIRD POPULATIONS

Human-driven climate change threatens many species, including birds. Most studies on this topic focus on long-term climate trends, such as gradual rises in average temperatures or shifts in rainfall patterns. But extreme weather events are becoming more common and intense, so they warrant further attention. Our new research shows extreme heat is having a particularly severe effect on tropical birds. We found increased exposure to extreme heat has reduced bird populations in tropical regions by 25-38% since 1950.

This is not just a temporary dip - it's a long-term, cumulative effect that continues to build as the planet warms.

Our research helps explain why bird numbers are falling even in wild places relatively untouched by humans, such as some very remote protected tropical forests. It underscores the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to conserve the remaining biodiversity.

Digging into huge global datasets We analysed data from long-term monitoring of more than 3,000 bird populations worldwide between 1950 and 2020. This dataset captures more than 90,000 scientific observations.

Although there are some gaps, the dataset offers an unmatched view of how bird populations have changed over time. Some parts of the world such as western Europe and North America were better represented than others, but all continents were covered.

UNIVERSITY OF REGINA: U OF R PROJECT RESILIENCE TO PROVIDE A LIFELINE THROUGH EDUCATION FOR AFGHAN WOMEN STUDENTS

What is the value of an education?

For many Afghan women students studying abroad, education is their ticket, their lifeline for escaping Afghanistan's oppressive Taliban regime that denies all women and girls the basic right to education after the age of 12. But the recent collapse of international scholarship support has put their education and the better future it offered in jeopardy. Without their status as international students, these women face the threat of being forced to return to Afghanistan, where their safety and right to education are severely compromised.

Education is the key to fighting the gender apartheid imposed on Afghan women by the Taliban Regime. An entire generation of bright, talented, and educated Afghan women will be wasted if we don't act now." - Friba Rezayee, Afghan-Canadian, former Afghan Olympian, and Executive Director of WLOT

In partnership with the Canadian non-profit organization Women Leaders of Tomorrow (WLOT), the University of Regina is revitalizing its Project Resilience scholarship funding program and stepping forward as a place of refuge, learning, and opportunity to help ensure that Afghan women students can remain safe and stable while pursuing their studies.

"The University of Regina is a welcoming, inclusive institution that values the academic skills and ambitions of high-achieving students in our global community," says Jeff Keshen, President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Regina. "Together, with Women Leaders of Tomorrow, we are partnering to establish scholarships, and provide emergency funds, housing, and other supports for these students whose education hangs in limbo."

University of San Francisco (USF) is one of 27 Jesuit Catholic colleges and universities in the US. The main USF campus sits on 55 acres near Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. The school, which was formed in 1855 as St. Ignatius Academy, enrolls more than 10,000 undergraduate and graduate students combined. USF operates five schools and colleges, including the College of Arts and Sciences, School of Management, and School of Nursing and Health Professions as well as the School of Law and the School of Education (both of which enroll graduate students only). Tuition, fees, and room and board average a total of more than $68,470 per year for a traditional undergraduate student.

USF NAMED A TOP COLLEGE ON PRINCETON REVIEW'S 2026 LIST

The University of San Francisco was recognized August 12 as one of the nation's top universities by the Princeton Review, which published its 2026 college guide today. USF also made two other Princeton lists, as a "Best in the West" university and as a "Green College."

According to the book's editors, the 391 colleges and universities on the list represent 15 percent of the country's four-year colleges, and USF's inclusion is due to the editors' "high opinion of its outstanding academic programs."

Students' opinions mattered, too. One Don described the school as "a culturally diverse community that teaches respect, dignity, and honor for all individuals," while another noted that students come "from all over the world" and "care about the community and believe in taking action to demonstrate their beliefs." Still others mentioned that their fellow students are "artistic, smart, morally sound" and "committed to their education."

In a nationwide survey, more than 170,000 students answered almost 100 questions about topics that ranged from financial aid to campus life, and included "How do you rate your campus food?" and "How many out-of-class hours do you spend studying?"

An average of 435 USF students responded to the survey. They extolled the school's commitment to Jesuit education, calling it "outstanding for students who care about their community and the world beyond themselves." They said they appreciated that USF focuses on "developing the individual into a strong leader with a particular emphasis on the forces of self-reflection and self-awareness."

Other highlights: USF's small class sizes and collaboration between teachers and students. One student appreciated that they were expected "to discuss, to ask questions, and to give feedback" in the classroom, and that the intellectual atmosphere "emphasizes acceptance, diversity, and critical thinking." Another emphasized that "It was not the professor's classroom.it was our classroom, all of us together," and praised the "interesting, engaging classes" and the "extremely talented, well-educated, hardworking, and passionate" professors who lead them.

The Hilltop location also earned its share of accolades. "It's the ultimate city to be in as a young person," said one student. Another noted that "San Francisco is a global city with a wealth of opportunity."

The MOU, signed in 2023, aligns with USask's The International Blueprint for Action 2025 strategic plan. Dr. Janet Okoko (PhD), an associate professor in the USask Department of Educational Administration, connected to KU through the Academics Without Borders (AWB) Project. Okoko travelled to KU to collaborate with faculty on a strategic plan and professional development workshops focused on practitioner-oriented research.

"The goal of the AWB project was to support capacity building in applied research among faculty and graduate students at KU," said Okoko. "One tangible outcome was the drafting of formal collaboration agreements between USask and KU. This was the basis for other collaboration in teaching and research."

The five-year MOU (2023-2028) included several outcomes: KU including USask as a partner in its United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) chair application; an action research project collaboration aimed at building capacity for practitioner-oriented and technology-mediated research among school leaders, funded by the USASK Global Innovation Fund; and the opportunity for KU graduate students and scholars to visit USask.

"The purpose," Okoko said, "is to respond to the questions: What context-specific, practitioner-oriented and technology-mediated research skills do faculty, students and school leaders need to enhance quality education for sustainable development (ESD)? And how can practitioners be equipped with the essential research skills needed that supports ESD?"

+ Week 33 of 2025 - Press release 1 of 7 Aug 11, 2025:

UNISA ALUMNA INSPIRES ENTREPRENEURIAL CONFIDENCE

Imagine a South Africa filled with blue ocean strategists and graduates who approach their qualifications, even the seemingly basic ones, with an entrepreneurial mindset. Nompilo Gumede, accountant, speaker, entrepreneur and women's empowerment advocate, believes that the key to a South Africa abounding in employed graduates lies in innovative thinking, collaboration, self-confidence and empowerment.

Gumede's distinguished career in accountancy and later public speaking was sparked at a young age during a moment of quiet reflection. "I want to live a life of significance," she cogitated. However, words wouldn't suffice; she turned her vision into action. She became the top accounting learner at her school. She later pursued a Bachelor of Accounting Sciences at Unisa, laying the foundation for her journey of transforming her business aspirations into a meaningful reality.

Transforming setbacks into CEO attributes

Some noble attributes are formed in times of peace, while others are forged in times of adversity. In the ever-changing world of business, adaptability is essential. Even strategic management models such as PESTEL highlight how political, economic, social, technological and legal factors demand both personal and organisational agility. The important question is: If you are a current or aspiring CEO, have you developed the attributes needed to withstand the pressures that inevitably shape leadership?

For Gumede, compelling change was a defining part of her upbringing, one that, in hindsight, prepared her not just technically but personally for her role in business. She lived in Nkandla, then Umzinto, for a year until her parents divorced. She moved to eMseleni, where she attended Khula Senior Secondary School, and later left for Durban to pursue university studies. Eventually, she settled in Pietermaritzburg, where her family and business are now based.

Amid the instability of constant relocation and shifting family dynamics, Gumede experienced a deep sense of loss, particularly a lack of belonging and identity. Yet, she believes these very challenges laid the foundation for key business attributes: adaptability and the ability to build collaborative relationships.

When asked about the lessons learnt from her various collaborations and partnerships, she emphasises the power of intentional networking and constant personal growth to become a better leader. "In 2022, I was appointed CEO of Women in Business because of my passion for women's empowerment. I have since flourished as a leader. More than a thousand women look up to me as their role model," she reflects.

Humility and the mindset of greatness: essential attributes for succeeding as a Unisa student

Gumede's goal of pursuing her studies at Unisa was a practical one, yet it pointed toward a remarkable destiny. She explains: "I wanted to pursue my studies while working." However, the challenges she encountered along the way transformed her approach toward studying and her outlook on life in general. "Studying at Unisa humbled me," she reflects. "I grew up a top student and was not used to failure at all - that was my biggest challenge. I loved accounting and used to get full marks in tests and exams at school. I often helped fellow learners who battled with accounting. But at university, I had to develop a transformed mindset in order to achieve greatness."

When asked how her academic knowledge of accounting has contributed to her career success, she says: "The pieces of the puzzle are constantly coming together to form a beautiful shape." Drawing from experience, she highlights the strong connection between being an accountant, an entrepreneur and a CEO. "Being in a professional business environment is all I've ever known career-wise. I served in corporate for 16 years, which gave me broad exposure to various aspects of business before launching my own accounting firm," she explains.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA: UNISA HOSTS MAJOR INDIAN OCEAN RESEARCH GATHERING

Unisa recently hosted the 10th Annual South African Chapter of the Indian Ocean Rim Academic Group (SA IORAG) at the university's Muckleneuck Campus in Pretoria. The high-level academic and policy-focused event brought together key stakeholders from government departments, universities and research institutions to advance cooperation within the Indian Ocean Rim region.

These annual engagements serve as an essential platform allowing academic voices to intersect with national and international policymaking, particularly with the involvement of the National Focal Point and various stakeholder departments.

Dr MT MaseTshaba, Acting Executive Dean of the College of Economic and Management Sciences (CEMS), welcomed delegates and affirmed Unisa's new status as an official member of the IORAG. She highlighted the university's commitment to marine studies, noting, "At Unisa, our compass points to the horizon of the future, charted through our Ten Catalytic Niche Areas. Among these, Marine Studies stands as a deep and resonant song, echoing the rhythms of our coastline and the soul of the Indian Ocean".

Kgame Molope, Chair of SA IORAG, and Dr Gilbert Siko of the Department of Science, Technology and Innovation (DSTI), also shared key messages. The speakers highlighted South Africa's status as a founding member of the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) and the importance of DSTI's active role in IORAG, connecting academia with policy and government in Indian Ocean research development.

Members were encouraged to mobilise institutions to join IORAG and to return to communities with the aim of sharing the findings of research conducted within their areas. A secretariat presentation offered a review of the IORA and SA IORAG 2024-25 activities, stressing the need for renewed academic participation post Covid-19. The presentation emphasised the importance of academics taking the initiative in leading or co-leading focus areas, as the secretariat supports but does not drive group activities.

The importance of aligning academic work with DSTI policies was reiterated, especially in areas such as sustainable development, ocean health, institutional transformation and climate change. Those attending the event were encouraged to submit proposals for funding and support, and to engage actively with the Scopus-indexed Journal of the Indian Ocean Region as a publication platform.

Stakeholders also discussed South Africa's strategic decision to shift from dialogues to Ocean Actions, which aligns with Brazil's approach at the G20. Delegates were updated regarding forthcoming initiatives, including potential events on the margins of the G20 and the 2025 Science Forum.

Presentations from institutions such as SAEON, Sol Plaatje University, the University of Pretoria, ECON-SA, and IORA ECPN enriched the dialogue. Unisa was praised for its leadership in outreach and contribution to shaping ocean governance's future, particularly in promoting research that bridges academia, policy and society.

EVENTS CALENDAR: UNISA ART GALLERY SHOWCASES TRANSFORMATIVE EXHIBITION

The Unisa Art Gallery is hosting a transformative exhibition which opened on 26 July 2026. "Place & Practice: Collective Voices from Ellis House" is a cohesive group exhibition that celebrates community-based art centre artists' socio-cultural impact and creative outputs. The exhibits displayed depict diverse perspectives and contemporary output methodologies by artists from Ellis House.

This exhibition demystifies non-conventional art products as it makes a profound statement on decolonisation and material transformation; it uses this approach to project collective voices within the South African art landscape as a discourse for growing a community that appreciates art.

The target audience for "Place & Practice" broadly encompasses art enthusiasts, academics, students and the wider community interested in contemporary South African art. It is social commentary through the re-imagining of artistic narratives. It was reflective of the audience present at the inauguration. The art display relayed a valuable message and acted as a tool for social intervention and a reflection of lived realities.

The importance of this exhibition lies in its radical approach to materiality and its challenge to conventional art hierarchies. As highlighted in the opening address by Daniel Rankadi Mosako, the featured artists, who include Phumzile Buthelezi, Lehlogonolo Masoabi, Senzeni Marasela, Cassius Khumalo and Belmiro Jemusse, have cracked the code on knowledge and information dissemination strategies through constructive, layered and multifaceted visual narratives that use ordinary and non-sophisticated media.

Their use of unconventional materials, ranging from plastics and industrial waste to organic residue, is not simply an act of novelty, but a powerful social intervention, prompting viewers to reconsider traditional notions of expression, status and art itself. This conscious choice of materials speaks to resourcefulness and environmental concern, and it critiques social stratification, prioritising the spiritual core and cultural narratives embedded in everyday objects within African contexts.

A significant aspect of the exhibition was outlined by artist Marasela, who elevated the importance of community art structures, that is, to "help and encourage artists to have a common focused art production mind". Marasela, a fine art graduate, drew on her experience and the value of communal art production while at an art residency at the Bag Factory with the late internationally acclaimed artist, David Koloane.

In addition, Buthelezi, one of the participating artists, emphasised that a community of practice acts as a springboard for artists to achieve international recognition. She eloquently likened the Ellis House community art centre to iconic institutions like Rorke's Drift and Polly Street, highlighting its role as a "family space for artists with a common purpose and collective thinking". This model promotes an ideal environment for attracting collectors and young scholars through open studio practices, demonstrating how collective spaces sustain artists' careers by encouraging dedication to artistic production within a collaborative framework.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA: A TASTE OF HOW AI COULD HELP PREVENT 600 MILLION CASES OF FOOD POISONING

An international team of researchers has demonstrated how artificial intelligence (AI) can now detect contaminated food in fields and factories before it reaches consumers, potentially saving four million deaths annually.

Led by the University of South Australia, a new paper published in the journal Toxins describes how advanced hyperspectral imaging (HSI) integrated with machine learning (ML) can identify mycotoxins - dangerous compounds produced by fungi that can contaminate food during growth, harvest and storage.

Mycotoxins cause a range of serious health issues, such as cancer, compromised immunity and hormone-related disorders. According to the World Health Organization, foodborne contamination, including from mycotoxins, results in 600 million illnesses and 4.2 million deaths each year.

The UN-based Food and Agricultural Organization estimates that about 25% of the world's crops are contaminated by mycotoxin-producing fungi, highlighting the economic and health imperatives to address this threat.

Lead author and UniSA PhD candidate Ahasan Kabir says that traditional mycotoxin detection methods are time-consuming, expensive and destructive, making them unsuitable for large-scale real-time food processing.

"In contrast, hyperspectral imaging - a technique that captures images with detailed spectral information - allows us to quickly detect and quantify contamination across entire food samples without destroying them," Kabir says.

Kabir and his co-authors in Australia, Canada and India evaluated the effectiveness of HSI in detecting toxic compounds in cereal grains and nuts, the world's most produced food and the economic backbone of many countries.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA: USC PROFESSOR HOLDS HORROR FANS SPELLBOUND

Shapeshifting cryptid creatures lurk in curious places throughout Julia Elliott's new book, Hellions. You can find them hovering over trampolines, skulking through Lowcountry wetlands, even fur-clad and hunting for game in a time-travel dating app. Elliott molds and shapes her mythical beings like a possessed potter working with clay. It might come as a surprise to her fans to learn that, as an undergraduate, she minored in art with a focus on ceramics.

Author Julia Elliott headshot Julia Elliott

Elliott, professor of women's and gender studies and English in the Palmetto College and Honors College at the University of South Carolina, often fashions from her imaginative gray matter strong female protagonists who harness their power in unusual ways. Even in real life, women must bend and adapt to fit into the many roles society demands of them. That flexibility is kind of a superpower, especially when combined with the mythical and macabre in Elliott's stories. Her strong female characters, even though fictional, empower students with new perspective in studies that focus on feminist culture.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA: GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!

Few things capture the imagination like seeing a ball of fire descend from the sky. South Carolinians witnessed this spectacle this summer. While stunning, such events are fairly common. However, the largest historical comet impacts can reveal much about dramatic shifts in life on Earth.

Christopher Moore, research professor with the Institute for Archaeology and Anthropology and director of the Southeastern Paleoamerican Survey at the University of South Carolina, recently led a team that analyzed sediment from the ocean floor in Baffin Bay, Greenland. This investigation, for the first time, produced evidence - sourced directly from ocean cores - that a comet impact could have triggered an abrupt cooling of the atmosphere during a period known as the Younger Dryas 13,000 years ago.

"This is the first time we have found evidence in ocean cores," Moore says. "Evidence on land has been accumulating since 2007."

The "balls of fire" that impact Earth usually are not intact comets but rather fragmentary debris that have broken apart. To identify possible impact events, scientists look for evidence of "impact proxies," such as comet dust enriched in platinum and other rare elements or microspherules (small spherule-shaped balls of melted sediment formed in the plume of an airburst). These impact proxies can be deposited when the Earth passes through the trail of a fragmented comet. These fragments often explode upon entering the Earth's atmosphere, dispersing impact proxies globally.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA: HISTORY SHOWS WHY FEMA IS ESSENTIAL IN DISASTERS

Susan Cutter, director of USC's Hazards Vulnerability & Resillience Institute, writes for The Conversation exploriing what history reveals about the legacy of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

When the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's urban search and rescue team resigned after the deadly July 4, 2025, Texas floods, he told colleagues he was frustrated with bureaucratic hurdles that had delayed the team's response to the disaster, acccording to media reports. The move highlighted an ongoing challenge at FEMA.

Ever since the agency lost its independent status and became part of the Department of Homeland Security in the early 2000s, it has faced complaints about delays caused by layers of bureaucracy and red tape, leaders at the top with little experience in emergency response, and whiplash policy changes.

Now, the Trump administration is cutting jobs at FEMA and talking about dismantling the agency, which would push more responsibility for disaster response to the states.

Yet, federal emergency management is crucial in America.

I run the Hazards Vulnerability & Resilience Institute at the University of South Carolina and for years have worked with states and communities facing hazards and disasters. To better understand FEMA's value, let's take a look back at how the nation responded to disasters before the agency existed, and what history reveals about when FEMA was most effective.

The University of South Carolina officially opened Garnet Station, the newest on-campus dining hall, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday (Aug. 14).

The new all-you-care-to-eat dining hall is located on the first floor of the Russell House University Union. It will feature over 500 new student dining seats, which includes both indoor and outdoor seating, an expanded kitchen for increased food production and new accessible restrooms.

"One of the things we heard in our conversation with students was the need for more dining and seating options at the center of campus," says Joe Fortune, director of business affairs and contract management. "This facility not only provides both of those things but also incredible food options for students, faculty and staff. I'm grateful for the hard work of all of our partners in getting this ready for the semester, and I'm excited to see Garnet Station thrive along with USC's other premier dining options."

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON: ASIAN HORNETS HAVE A UNIQUE SOUND - AND THAT COULD BE THE KEY TO CONTROLLING THEIR SPREAD

The frequency and volume of the sound from the nests of yellow-legged hornets - or Asian hornets - has been established for the first time by researchers at the University of Southampton.

It paves the way to faster detection and removal of the nests of the invasive species, which is experiencing a surge in numbers this year.

The National Bee Unit is reporting 73 Asian hornet sightings and 28 nests in 2025 to date - more than double the 28 recorded sightings in the same period last year.

Scientists at Southampton have established the fundamental frequency of Asian hornet nests to be 125 Hertz (Hz) and the loudness in the region of 51 Decibels (dB), which is comparable to a normal conversation.

This means that Asian hornet nests, which peak in numbers during September and October, can be detected and their sound used to distinguish them from the nests and hives of other wasps and bees.

The project was led by Paul White, Professor of Statistical Signal Processing at the University of Southampton, and project advisor Adrian Dwyer, with research undertaken by Acoustic Engineering graduate Sophie Gray.

UNIVERSITY OF SURREY EXPERT COMMENT: HEATWAVE ADVICE FOR ANIMALS

During a heatwave, animals are especially vulnerable to heat stress, dehydration, and sunburn. Whether you're caring for pets, farm animals, horses or wildlife, taking proactive steps is essential to keep them safe.

Keep cool

Pets should always have access to cool, shaded areas and fresh water. Walk dogs early in the morning or late in the evening and avoid hot pavements that can burn their paws. Never leave pets in parked cars, even for a few minutes.

Heat stroke

It's important to watch for signs of heat stroke: excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, or unsteady movement. If you are concerned that your pet is suffering from heat stroke, the advice is to soak them with very cold water and take them to the vet immediately in an air-conditioned car. Inadequate cooling or delayed response can be fatal so it is important to act quickly.

Farm animals

Farm animals need shaded areas or well-ventilated shelters with access to plenty of fresh, cool water. Check water troughs frequently and ensure enough trough space for the group. Avoid stressful handling and transportation during the hottest parts of the day.

Horses

Horses need shaded areas or well-ventilated stables with access to plenty of fresh, cool water, at all times. Reduce or avoid riding or strenuous work during the hottest part of the day. If a horse shows signs of heat stress (sweating, rapid/shallow breathing, increased heart rate, rectal temperature above 39 degrees, agitation, restlessness) apply cool water to the body, do not scrape and use fans to promote airflow.

UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY SYDNEY:

Wikipedia is built on a "neutral point of view". But who decides what's neutral?

Last month, the American non-profit organisation behind Wikipedia issued draft guidelines for researchers studying how neutral Wikipedia really is. But instead of supporting open inquiry, the guidelines reveal just how unaware the Wikimedia Foundation is of its own influence.

These new rules tell researchers - some based in universities, some at non-profit organisations or elsewhere - not just how to study Wikipedia's neutrality, but what they should study and how to interpret their results. That's a worrying move.

As someone who has researched Wikipedia for more than 15 years - and served on the Wikimedia Foundation's own Advisory Board before that - I'm concerned these guidelines could discourage truly independent research into one of the world's most powerful repositories of knowledge. Telling researchers what to do

The new guidelines come at a time when Wikipedia is under pressure.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk, who was until recently also a senior adviser to US President Donald Trump, has repeatedly accused Wikipedia of being biased against American conservatives. On X (formerly Twitter), he told users to "stop donating to Wokepedia".

In another case, a conservative think tank in the United States was caught planning to "target" Wikipedia volunteers it claimed were pushing antisemitic content.

An international team of scientists have made groundbreaking findings that describe five new-to-science species and rewrite the family tree of one of the world's most iconic coral groups.

What was once considered a single widespread coral species, Acropora hyacinthus, commonly known as a Table Coral, has now been revealed to be many.

Using advanced genomic techniques alongside traditional taxonomic methods, researchers have found that the lineage containing what was previously thought to be just three species of table coral is a complex group of at least 16 distinct species, five of which were previously unknown to science.

Some of these newly described species are only found on Australian reefs, including the Great Barrier Reef and as far south as Lord Howe Island in NSW.

In the latest evidence that meaningful social connections bolster health, a team from The University of Texas at Austin and University of Massachusetts Boston has found that frequent helping outside the home significantly slows cognitive decline in middle-age and older adults.

The new study of more than 30,000 adults in the U.S. looking at individuals over two decades found that the rate of cognitive decline associated with aging fell by 15%-20% for people who formally volunteer their services or who help in more informal ways with neighbors, family or friends outside the home on a regular basis. This cognitive benefit was consistently observed when individuals devoted about two to four hours per week to helping others. The results were reported in the latest edition of the journal Social Science & Medicine and were based on a study funded by the National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

"Everyday acts of support - whether organized or personal - can have lasting cognitive impact," said Sae Hwang Han, an assistant professor of human development and family sciences at UT who led the study. "What stood out to me was that the cognitive benefits of helping others weren't just short-term boosts but cumulative over time with sustained engagement, and these benefits were evident for both formal volunteering and informal helping. And in addition to that, moderate engagement of just two to four hours was consistently linked to robust benefits."

UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO: RESEARCHERS IDENTIFY PROTEIN THAT EVOLVED TO ENABLE PLANTS TO THRIVE ON LAND

Evolutionary plant biologists at the University of Toronto have identified a protein that evolved approximately 500 million years ago that enables plants to convert light into energy through photosynthesis as they moved from aquatic environments to land.

The discovery provides a target for sustainable herbicides against parasitic plants and other weeds and may help boost food security by increasing the efficiency of photosynthesis in crops.

Using genome analysis and CRISPR gene editing, the researchers pinpointed Shikimate kinase-like 1 (SKL1) as a protein present in all land plants - but no other organisms - and showed the protein evolved from the Shikimate kinase (SK) enzyme to play an essential role in forming the chloroplasts needed for photosynthesis.

"One of the fundamental questions we investigate in this study is: what were the initial events that contributed to simple aquatic organisms moving onto land," says recent PhD graduate Michael Kanaris, lead author of the paper published recently in Molecular Biology and Evolution.

"A role for SKL1 in chloroplast biogenesis has previously been determined in Arabidopsis, a flowering plant studied extensively in modern laboratories. However, the biological function for SKL1 has not been established in early land plants."

The Department of Life Sciences (DSV) at the University of Trieste is a partner in a project that uses cutting-edge technology to reconstruct the environmental evolution of the Venice lagoon through the analysis of historical and contemporary macroalgae.

Coordinated by Professor Stefano Loppi of the University of Siena in an Italian first, the initiative involves use of a new high-precision X-ray instrument, recently acquired with NRRP funds by the University of Siena. The instrument allows metal content in samples to be detected without damaging them.

The University of Trieste working group is made up of Professors Annalisa Falace (Environmental and Applied Botany) and Stefano Martellos (Systematic Botany), with the collaboration of PhD students Alessandra Metalli and Linda Seggi (PhD programme in Environment and Life).

The UniTS team's activity focuses on three main areas: collecting the macroalgae currently present in the lagoon (already carried out in June), providing specialist expertise in algae taxonomy and biology, and scientifically enhancing particularly historical museum collections.

UNIVERSITY OF TURKU: GLOBAL INEQUALITY IN ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH RESEARCH PERSISTS DESPITE PROGRESS

A new systematic review of 172 studies including data from over 12 million adolescents across 166 countries reveals that while cross-national adolescent mental health research including low- and middle-income countries has expanded significantly, large gaps remain in global representation.

The systematic review, conducted by an international research team led by the Research Centre for Child Psychiatry at the University of Turku, Finland, found that inclusion of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in cross-national research has increased dramatically over the past 30 years, especially since 2020. However, 52 countries were not included in any of the 172 studies reviewed.

Most research relies heavily on cross-sectional, school-based surveys with self-reported questionnaires. The most commonly used international surveys were the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study (19.8%), the Global School-based Student Health Survey (12.2%), and the Programme for International Student Assessment (8.1%).

The review reveals that while bullying and internalising problems, such as anxiety and depression, are commonly studied, externalising behaviours like aggression are often overlooked. While the prevalences of most mental health and psychosocial issues were comparable or mixed between LMICs and high-income countries, traditional bullying was reported more frequently in LMICs in the majority of reviewed studies.

UNIVERSITY OF TURKU: DISSERTATION: REVERSIBLE BASE FILLING MAY ENABLE NEW TOOLS FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND DNA NANOTECHNOLOGY

In his doctoral thesis, MSc Mark Afari developed new types of nucleic acid backbone structures to which DNA bases or their analogues can be reversibly attached. The method can be used, for example, to identify point mutations.

The human genome consists of two complete sets of three billion DNA letters, or base codes, which contain instructions for building and maintaining our bodies. DNA can be imagined as a string of letters of the alphabet that form meaningful words. If one letter is missing or out of place, the message becomes hard to read.

With so many components, this genetic code is also very fragile, and our DNA is constantly under threat. Everyday factors such as sunlight, smoking, poor diet and even natural chemical reactions within our cells can damage or alter it. The most common type of change is a point mutation, the simple substitution of one DNA base, like C, for another, like A, G, or T.

Each day, the cells in our body collectively accumulate billions of these single-letter changes. While many mutations are harmless, some can interfere with a cell's function or cause it to behave abnormally. If such a mutation is inherited from a parent or occurs early in development, it can affect many or even all of the body's cells-increasing the risk of genetic diseases. Point mutations can have serious effects even when only one DNA letter is altered. Such mutations can disrupt protein function, cause cellular malfunction, or trigger disease such as sickle cell anemia, Progeria (a rare, premature aging disorder), Huntington's Disease, Cancer etc.

In his doctoral thesis, MSc Mark Afari developed a new method in which a reactive gap in suitably modified DNA or RNA can be filled and then released again by adjusting the pH.

" The method we have developed, called reversible base filling, enables the testing of various modified structures without having to prepare the entire DNA or RNA strand from scratch. On the other hand, by filling a gap in double-stranded DNA or RNA with a suitable natural base derivative, information can be obtained about which base is located at the gap in the complementary strand," Afari explains.

In DNA, base pairing is mainly controlled by hydrogen bonding and base stacking. The bases (A, T, C and G) are flat and they sit on top of each other in a neat stack inside the twisted ladder shape of DNA. Hydrogen bonds, on the other hand, enable the bases of one DNA strand to attach to the appropriate bases on the opposite strand. Hydrogen bonding acts like Velcro, meaning that the bonds are just strong enough to hold the two sides of DNA together while still allowing the DNA to open when it needs to copy or read genetic information.

The study also examined how quickly bases can be insterted into the gap, identified the key factors that regulate the selection of bases that bind to the gap, and evaluated the stability of our final product after base incorporation.

Although the core focus of the project remains the same, each year takes a different theme. This year, there was a further focus on the online work in this blended learning partnership by introducing teachers and pupils to AI tools in Adobe to help them improve their design for sustainable homes, adding another new dimension to the project.

Feedback from the teachers confirmed that AI helped the pupils with their designs and gave them greater confidence in sharing their designs with other members of the team, a core part of collaborative learning in shared education.

The use of LEGO for building a town together helps build relationships between the pupils from both schools and remains an entirely original and unique way of using this resource.

As glaciers melt, huge chunks of ice break free and splash into the sea, generating tsunami-size waves and leaving behind a powerful wake as they drift away. This process, called calving, is important for researchers to understand. But the front of a glacier is a dangerous place for data collection.

To solve this problem, a team of researchers from the University of Washington and collaborating institutions used a fiber-optic cable to capture calving dynamics across the fjord of the Eqalorutsit Kangilliit Sermiat glacier in South Greenland.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON: PEOPLE WHO MOVE TO MORE WALKABLE CITIES DO, IN FACT, WALK SIGNIFICANTLY MORE

Study after study shows that walking is very good for those who are able, and generally more is better. A 2023 study found that even 4,000 steps a day improves all-cause mortality risk. (The U.S average is 4,000 to 5,000.) For each 1,000 extra daily steps, risk decreased by 15%.

Walk Scores have been used since 2007 to quantify how quickly people can typically walk to amenities like grocery stores and schools in an area. Cities are assigned scores from 0 to 100; for instance, Seattle's 74 means it's "very walkable." It may seem self-evident that in cities and towns with better scores people tend to walk more. But it's surprisingly difficult to tease out the cause and effect: Do walkable cities prompt people to take more steps, or do people who want to walk tend to live in more pedestrian-friendly cities?

The University of Waterloo's Wetland Laboratory is working with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to transform the Meadoway, a 16-kilometre-long underutilized hydro corridor in Scarborough, Ontario into one of Canada's largest linear parks in an urban space.

At the heart of this work are its volunteers, including biochemistry student Mia Hepburn, who is already contributing to environmental research in her first year as a student at the University of Waterloo.

Since June, Hepburn has been volunteering with the lab to restore the Meadoway. Working under the guidance of biology researcher Dr. Rebecca Rooney and master's student Hayden Epp, she is learning how native plants can help store more carbon in the soil, which could help combat climate change.

UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO SOFT ROBOTS GO RIGHT TO THE SITE OF KIDNEY STONES

An international research team led by the University of Waterloo is developing technology to dissolve painful kidney stones in the urinary tract using tiny robots.

The new technique, tested in a life-size, 3D-printed model, features thin, spaghetti-like strips fitted with magnets that can be moved into place near uric acid kidney stones with a robotic arm operated by doctors (see left image).

The soft, flexible robot strips are about a centimetre long and contain an enzyme called urease. Once in place, the urease reduces the acidity of the surrounding urine, thereby dissolving stones until they are small enough to pass naturally in just a few days.

"There is currently no good treatment method available for this type of kidney stone," said Dr. Veronika Magdanz, a professor of systems design engineering at Waterloo who consulted urologists in Spain and Canada during the research project.

A team of University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers and computer scientists has identified vulnerabilities in popular automation apps that can make it easy for an abuser to stalk individuals, track their cellphone activity, or even control their devices with little risk of detection.

After designing an AI algorithm to identify hundreds of automation sequences that could be used maliciously, the researchers are now developing an online service to find this covert abuse on digital devices.

The UW-Madison researchers-computer sciences PhD student Shirley Zhang (pictured above), Kassem Fawaz, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, and Rahul Chatterjee, an assistant professor of computer sciences-are presenting their work at the USENIX Security Symposium in August 2025. Held this year in Seattle, it is one of the world's premier security and privacy conferences in computer systems and networks.

The researchers have alert students to thank for the discovery. Chatterjee's research group operates the Madison Tech Clinic, an initiative staffed by volunteer UW-Madison students and faculty to aid survivors of domestic and intimate partner violence and other technology-facilitated abuse.

How UW-Madison's Center for Aging Research and Education Transforms Care for Rural and Aging Wisconsin By Sheri Hall With contributions from Christina Frank

In the rolling hills and tight-knit communities of rural Wisconsin, the nearest hospital may be an hour's drive away, making it difficult for everyone from expectant parents to older people managing chronic conditions to get the care they need. As the state's demographics shift and the average age of the population increases, this lack of medical services in rural communities may impact the well-being of older adults.

MILWAUKEE'S URBAN FARMING: HOW A RUST BELT CITY CULTIVATED A GRASSROOTS IDEA INTO A NATIONAL MODEL

Milwaukee's reputation as a manufacturing powerhouse once defined its economic and cultural identity. But as industry collapsed and neighborhoods suffered decades of disinvestment, residents began turning to the land in vacant lots, schoolyards, and rooftops as a means of survival and resistance.

Urban farming in Milwaukee neighborhoods, spaces informally known as Agrihoods, didn't arrive as a trend. It was born out of necessity, rooted in community self-sufficiency, and shaped by the city's unique racial, economic, and environmental struggles.

GARDENS IN POST-INDUSTRIAL SOIL

Urban agriculture in Milwaukee has its earliest civic precedents in wartime "Victory Gardens," but its modern legacy began to take shape in the late 1960s and early 1970s. As jobs left the central city and redlining restricted food access, community organizations and faith groups began planting on vacant parcels across the area.

One of the city's earliest sustained efforts was led by Alice's Garden, a two-acre urban farm located at 21st and Garfield, named after community elder Alice Meade-Taylor. The garden became a hub for wellness, food education, and cultural programming, especially in Milwaukee's African American neighborhoods.

Unlike isolated community plots, Alice's Garden was structured to reclaim urban land for collective healing, long before such concepts were part of mainstream discourse.

In the 1980s and early 1990s, various environmental and youth advocacy groups launched small farming initiatives, but lacked institutional support or city-wide infrastructure. Efforts were often seasonal and dependent on unpredictable grants. Still, grassroots models persisted that were built by church groups, immigrant families, and neighborhood block clubs.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MILWAUKEE: UNDERGRAD STUDENTS STUDY AI OUTSOURCING AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR HUMAN JOBS

Today, American companies are at the beginning of another wave of outsourcing. This time, the jobs aren't heading overseas. Instead, they're being turned over to artificial intelligence.

"For example, if you've ever called a customer service line in the past, you'd have another human, most of the time in another country, pick up your call," said Gaurav Saluja. "But now, these companies are moving them online and having AI pick up the phone the first time. If AI can solve your problem, they don't have to bring it to a human saving businesses quite a bit of money."

Saluja and his research partner, Gaurav Sachdeva, are UWM students studying this new trend of AI outsourcing under the mentorship of Avik Chakrabarti, associate professor of economics. Saluja, a double major in economics and computer science, and Sachdeva, who is majoring in management and finance, have completed their first year at UWM.

New findings show stroke care guidelines must address needs of multicultural communities to improve patient outcomes

Stroke continues to place a heavy burden on Australians, especially those from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, with a stroke occurring every 11 minutes. Yet, new research led by University of Wollongong (UOW) PhD candidate Shegaw Zeleke has found a striking paradox: despite the disproportionate impact of stroke on CALD communities, stroke care guidelines worldwide lack cultural recommendations.

"All the evidence points to stroke being far more common among people from culturally diverse backgrounds, but when you look at the guidelines that inform how we deliver care, the cultural aspect is almost invisible," Mr Zeleke said. "Our review of 24 international stroke guidelines revealed only three included culture-related recommendations, and out of nearly 3,000 recommendations, just six addressed cultural considerations. That's fewer than 1 per cent, a staggering deficit."

The UOW Health Innovations team systematically reviewed English-language stroke guidelines published between June 2019 and May 2024. Their findings, published in the highly regarded journal Stroke, underline that while effective stroke care demands understanding a patient's cultural values, practices and needs - including language barriers, diet, customs, and religious practices - most guidance assumes a one-size-fits-all approach.

Led by Distinguished Professor Andrew Forbes from the School of Physics, the lab operates at the intersection of classical optics, quantum physics, and artificial intelligence.

"We work across three main pillars," explains Forbes. "Classical light, where we shape bright laser beams for specific applications; quantum light, where we work with single photons and entangled particles; and laser development, where we build lasers tailored to our needs."

These capabilities enable advances in ultrafast and highly secure communication. While classical structured light boosts data transmission speeds, quantum light ensures data is virtually impossible to intercept. "If you encode your data into quantum states, the known laws of physics would have to be wrong for someone to decode it," says Forbes.

CREATING A GREENER UNIVERSITY: VU EXPANDS ITS SOLAR POWER NETWORK

Vilnius University (VU) has acquired two large remote solar power plants and installed photovoltaic power stations on the rooftops of 19 University-owned buildings in Vilnius and Siauliai. Together, these solar power facilities will generate up to 5,600 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity annually, covering around one-third of VU's total yearly electricity consumption. This initiative, along with the University's five-year practice of purchasing green electricity from an independent supplier, advances the implementation of VU's strategic climate neutrality plan.

The electricity generated by the solar plants will reduce VU's dependence on external energy suppliers and will also contribute to lowering greenhouse gas emissions both in Lithuania and globally. This marks an important step towards the University's ambition of becoming a leading higher education institution in the field of sustainability. VU's investment in renewable energy reflects the values of the University community and its commitment to fostering a responsible environmental mindset among students and staff.

'Having prepared our projects on time, we were able to take advantage of favourable conditions to install solar panels on VU rooftops and acquire several remote power plants. This will allow us to cover a significant share of our electricity needs with self-generated power and move forward with the implementation of our sustainability policy,' said VU Rector Prof. Rimvydas Petrauskas.

VU consumes an average of around 18,000 MWh of electricity each year. Since 2021, the University has phased out polluting energy sources, becoming one of the first major institutions in Lithuania to meet all of its electricity needs with purchased green energy. As a result, VU now prevents the release of roughly 7,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the atmosphere each year.

In 2024, VU purchased a 2-megawatt (MW) solar power plant in the Kaunas District and a 2.2 MW plant in the Birzai District. These two remote solar facilities generate approximately 4,400 MWh of electricity for VU each year.

VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY: FELLOWSHIP ALLOWS SOCIAL WORK STUDENT TO COMBINE PRACTICE AND POLICY

Determination runs in Rayelle Ross' family, she says, and it has manifested itself in her drive as a college athlete, in her passion for understanding her social work clients' needs and in her pursuit of more knowledge and skills to help them.

The next building block for Ross, a second-year Ph.D. student in the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Social Work, is a Council on Social Work Education Doctoral Student Policy Fellowship that runs through December 2026.

The focus of Ross' research - and the fellowship - is policy related to social safety net programs to alleviate intergenerational poverty in Black families, including the requirements and administration of programs such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

VCU'S CLASS OF 2029 TO MOVE IN THIS WEEKEND

Virginia Commonwealth University will welcome one of its largest ever classes of first-year students this weekend as the Class of 2029 moves into the university's residence halls, marking the beginning of VCU's fall semester. This year's incoming transfer class will also be the largest in four years, adding to the university's overall enrollment growth.

With more than 4,500 students, the freshman class is expected to be the second-largest in VCU history. First-year enrollment is currently up 6.6% from fall 2024, and VCU's total enrollment for the fall is projected to be more than 29,000, up 1.9% over last year, as of Aug. 12.

"We are thrilled to welcome over 4,500 freshmen, putting us on track for the second-largest class in VCU history," said Hernan Bucheli, Ed.D., vice president for Strategic Enrollment Management and Student Success. "This exceptionally talented and motivated freshman class is joining a vibrant community of continuing students."

VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY: ANCIENT TEETH LEAD VCU RESEARCHER TO NEW HUMAN ANCESTOR

Family trees can be complicated for modern humans. New research from Virginia Commonwealth University paleoecologist Amy Rector and colleagues finds that our species' forebears are no exception.

For many years, scientists thought the genus Homo, which includes today's humans, evolved directly out of the genus Australopithecus, of Lucy fossil fame. More recently, paleoanthropologists have found fossils that suggest that early Homo species lived alongside other hominins - or upright-walking apes - from at least two additional genera, or groups of species.

"Most people, when they envision human evolution, think of that typical march of progress, where one species evolves into the next species evolves into the next," said Rector, Ph.D., an associate professor of anthropology in VCU's School of World Studies. "And the more that paleoanthropologists are out there and looking for fossils, the more we're finding that that is not an accurate representation of the evolution of our lineage."

HORNS OF PLENTY A PACKED RODNEYCON AWAITS VCU STUDENTS

Temporary tattoo parlors? Escape rooms? Block parties and cookouts? Inspired by the wide-ranging fun of fan conventions, RodneyCon: Enter the Ram Universe is the theme of this year's Weeks of Welcome program that kicks off Virginia Commonwealth University's academic year.

Rodney-Con celebrates VCU spirit and creativity to engage students, especially freshman and transfer students, as they explore campus life, form connections and begin finding their place in the Ram community. The con-style format highlights Rodney as the university's beloved horned mascot.

Weeks of Welcome, which will last from Aug. 16 through Sept. 7, includes dozens of events celebrating the start of the academic year.

"Each year, Weeks of Welcome offers something new," said Bria Taylor, assistant director of student programs and campus engagement in VCU's Office of Student Leadership and Engaged Learning. "It's more than just a kickoff to the semester. It's a community-building experience. For returning students, it's also an opportunity to lead by example and help create a welcoming environment for new students while reigniting their own sense of purpose and connection to the Ram community."

Here is just a sampling of RodneyCon events this year that make Weeks of Welcome a spirited introduction to VCU.

VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY: FAITH PARKER RELISHED HER BRAIN-TESTER OF A SUMMER

How many people can say they sat in on a 13-hour surgery, made hospital rounds with a neurosurgery team and conducted their own research - all during a summer internship? Faith Parker can.

The Virginia Commonwealth University senior called it a "truly one-of-a-kind experience, with an incredibly deep exploration into all things neurological," as she embraced her summer internship in neuroscience at Boston University's Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and its affiliated Boston Medical Center.

"You're given opportunities that allow you to bridge the gap between the research and clinical fields," said Parker, who is studying philosophy and bioinformatics in the VCU College of Humanities and Sciences.

Parker, who grew up in Chesterfield County and hopes to become a neurosurgeon, became interested in how the mind works when she was in middle school.

"Everyone was trying to figure out the person they want to be and the foundation of who they were," she said.

WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY: PARROT 'ON DEATH'S DOOR' SAVED BY EMERGENCY BLOOD TRANSFUSION

A severely starved parrot in search of her forever home could live another 35 years after a Washington State University veterinarian performed an emergency blood transfusion with her own parrot playing the role of blood donor.

The double yellow-headed Amazon parrot was unable to talk, walk, fly or even open her eyes when she was surrendered to her new owners, Haylee "Dove" Leyva and Finn Wichert. Her condition was so dire, there was question whether the bird, since renamed Zinnia, would survive the ride from Spokane to her new home in Pullman.

"I was pretty worried for her," Leyva said. "She did not look good at all, and she was about half the weight she was supposed to be."

With a fear Zinnia would not survive, the pair immediately made an appointment with WSU exotics veterinarian Dr. Marcie Logsdon for the next morning. Logsdon concluded it was clear Zinnia hadn't been getting enough to eat for some time. Source: Company Website

Join us Aug. 19, 2025 - March 14, 2026 for the exhibition, "Anish Kapoor: Dissolving Margins, from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation," a bold and extensive exhibition of a four-decade-long printmaking practice. Kapoor is one of the most influential contemporary artists working today. Renowned for works on an architectural scale such as Cloud Gate (2004) in Chicago's Millennium Park and Ark Nova (2013), the world's first inflatable concert hall in Japan, his works both engage public space and envelop the viewer in an interiority. In parallel with his sculptural projects, Kapoor has maintained a career-long commitment to printmaking, which began in the 1970s and continues to this day. While Kapoor's prints have been featured in group exhibitions, this project will mark the artist's first solo survey dedicated to this collaborative and often technical practice.

Kapoor's graphic oeuvre similarly evokes a sense of awe as we contemplate the hallucinatory qualities of heavily pigmented prints that appear to breathe, expand, and dissolve before visitors' eyes. Elsewhere, especially in his earlier works, Kapoor explores organic and biological forms alongside overarching expressions of presence and absence.

Washington State University's Human Resource Services is rolling out a series of leadership changes and team realignments aimed at delivering faster, more consistent support to employees across the WSU system.

Four organizational shifts, taking place in July and August 2025, will streamline processes, strengthen communication, and expand professional development opportunities. The changes include promotions, team consolidations, and the integration of WSU Vancouver's HR staff into the system-wide structure. The moves are designed to improve service levels, reduce response times, and ensure all campuses receive the same high-quality HR support.

HRS Disability Services is now Medical Leave and Accommodation (MLA) and is under the leadership of Ann Monroe, director, Benefits & Medical Leave and Accommodation. Medical leave and reasonable accommodation requests are often connected to an employee's benefits, and having both the MLA and Benefits teams managed under the same leader will allow for a smoother process and quicker processing times.

Heather Burchell has been promoted to Human Resource Services director to lead and oversee the Employee Services Consulting team. Her balanced approach to complex matters will aid her in her new role and help ensure the team is better supported and positioned for success.

She wanted to help others like them and decided to study biochemistry at WSU to someday conduct reproductive health research. She wasn't expecting that day to come so soon.

Her first semester, Page began helping with graduate students' research projects in the Hayashi Lab.

WSU TEAM UNLOCKS BIOLOGICAL PROCESS BEHIND COHO DIE-OFFS

For years, scientists at Washington State University's Puyallup Research & Extension Center have been working to untangle a mystery: Why do coho salmon in Puget Sound creeks seem to suffocate after rainstorms - rising to the surface, gaping, and swimming in circles before dying?

In 2018, the die-offs were linked to bits of car tires shed by friction and washed into the stormwater runoff. In 2020, researchers zeroed in on one particular chemical culprit, a tire preservative known as 6PPD.

Now, research led by WSU PhD student Stephanie I. Blair has established the biological mechanism for how that toxin kills the fish, laying the groundwork for tests to find an alternative to 6PPD. A Coho salmon swimming near a discolored rush of stormwater.A returning coho salmon at the Suquamish Tribe's Grovers Creek Hatchery in Poulsbo. (Photo by K. King/USFWS.)

When 6PPD interacts with ozone, it becomes a toxic chemical known as 6PPD-quinone. Blair, working with a team from WSU and the University of Washington, demonstrated that 6PPD-quinone breaches the cellular walls that protect the brain and vascular system, known as the blood-brain barrier and the blood-gill barrier, causing oxygen deprivation.

WESTERN UNIVERSITY: EXPERT INSIGHT: IMPROVING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM PREDICTION WILL REDUCE DEVASTATION

Our ability to predict extreme weather from thunderstorms, like the recent catastrophic flash floods in Texas, is unsettlingly poor, even in the hours leading up to the event. Improvements in understanding, detecting and predicting extreme thunderstorms - and increasing community resilience to them - are badly needed.

Severe thunderstorms are a regular aspect of summer weather in Canada. A severe storm becomes extreme when the intensity of a thunderstorm hazard (tornado, downburst, damaging hail or flooding rains) escalates to a level rarely observed. Or, when the impacts of a storm are extreme due to enhanced exposure and vulnerability, resulting in significant casualties and economic losses. In some cases, both intensity and impacts are extreme.

WESTERN UNIVERSITY: STUDY SHOWS RWANDAN PEOPLE BORN OF GENOCIDAL RAPE AGE FASTER

Lasting only 100 days, though many acknowledge it continued much longer, the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi people in Rwanda is one of the most heinous genocides and mass murders in modern history. An estimated one million Rwandans were killed, while hundreds of thousands of women were sexually assaulted by militia.

Now, some 30 years later, a new study led by Western researcher Glorieuse Uwizeye examines the biological impact of the genocide against the Tutsi on the descendants of survivors who were conceived during the tragedy.

Findings suggest that Rwandans prenatally exposed to maternal genocide-related trauma, now in their early thirties, age faster biologically, with the greatest age acceleration observed among those conceived by genocidal rape. The study also suggests that adverse childhood experiences may contribute to biological age acceleration in individuals prenatally exposed to maternal genocide-related stress.

What started with a first-year psychology class quickly transformed into a long-term passion. Now, as a neuroscience student in Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, she focuses on understanding chronic pain and the different ways it can be researched.

Chronic pain affects nearly one in five Canadians. It is the leading cause of years lost to disability worldwide and comes with a significant economic toll, costing the Canadian economy upwards of $40 billion per year.

Through Western's Undergraduate Summer Research Internships (USRI) program, Henderson is contributing to a large-scale multi-year study, overseen by Western professor and William and Lynne Gray Research Chair Siobhan Schabrun, examining the brain and body mechanisms that can help predict chronic pain before it occurs.

WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY: TRUMP IS THE ENEMY OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

Today, as we approach the Declaration of Independence's semiquincentennial, Donald Trump and his allies claim the Revolution for themselves. They have made fealty to the American Revolution part of their culture war against "woke" progressivism. The Revolution has become a pawn in Trump's politics of retribution against the country's supposed cultural enemies. Trump and his allies claim to be patriots while regularly violating the principles outlined in the Declaration of Independence and undermining the government established by our Constitution. Trump's actions since his reelection have all but destroyed the republic the founding generation fought to establish two and a half centuries ago.

WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY: LAKE SAMPLING PROJECT HELPS DETECT BREWING ALGAL BLOOM

On a Monday morning in July, Zoe Fry and Rory Pate rowed along the perimeter of Lake Padden for a routine check-up, observing the water from their canoe-clinic to detect any signs of sickness that was occurring or in the making.

Not seeing any mats of dotted, stringy or paint-like goo floating on the surface - typical symptoms of an algal bloom - nor any electronic waste oozing chemicals, the two headed toward the center of the lake, looking for the deepest point where they would set their anchor and collect some data from the water column.

This work is part of the Freshwater Lake Monitoring program, a collaboration between Bellingham-based nonprofit RE Sources, Western Washington University's Institute for Watershed Studies, and Whatcom County Health and Human Services.

WHITMAN COLLEGE: LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER: WHITMAN ALUMS WEAVE A LEGACY OF GROWTH & GIVING

Ahn Lee Horn '91 believes in serendipity. She regularly runs into an old friend from her Whitman College days in random airports around the world. "We call it the 'Whitman Thing,' an interconnectedness between Whitties that you can't predict but is always there when you need it most."

That "Whitman Thing" is just one example in a lifetime full of experiences, lessons and friendships that have made being an alum a foundational part of Ahn Lee's life. As a testament to that impact, she's been a donor to the college for more than 30 consecutive years and, together with her family, established a scholarship endowment in honor of her late father, David Lee Styris.

This spring, she added a new milestone to the list: mom of a Whittie alum. Her daughter, Nina Horn '25, graduated magna cum laude with a degree in Biology.

The mother-daughter bond between Ahn Lee and Nina was palpable as the two took a break from moving Nina out of her room just days after commencement to sit down for an interview. They both shared a bittersweet excitement around the conclusion of this incredible chapter and the start of a new one in a place that has become more meaningful for their family with each passing year.
