The joint Educational Partnership project between Aalto University and the City of Espoo has been launched in collaboration with three schools in Espoo: a primary school, a lower secondary school, and a comprehensive school. The project is being implemented by the Department of Design at Aalto University and City of Espoo's Department of Growth and Learning.
The goal of the project is to strengthen the educational partnership between schools and parents as a joint effort by the entire school community. To this end, new operating models and tools are being developed to support this collaboration.
"We've been able to involve parents from a wide variety of backgrounds, and there's a clear enthusiasm in schools for developing partnerships with parents. Teachers and other staff are also highly motivated to do this", says Annukka Svanda, project researcher at Aalto University.
Through interviews with guardians and school staff, as well as participatory workshops, concrete and inspiring insights have emerged for developing cooperation between guardians and schools. Using participatory design methods, Espoo has been able to reach and listen to guardians from diverse backgrounds and genuinely incorporate their perspectives into the development work. This is important to ensure that the collaboration reflects the everyday lives of different families and supports the learning of all children equally.

ANGLIA RUSKIN UNIVERSITY: AI MODEL LINKS MENTAL HEALTH TO TYPE 2 DIABETES
A new study using an advanced "digital twin" artificial intelligence model has found that factors such as loneliness, insomnia and poor mental health substantially raise a person's future risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
The research, led by Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) in collaboration with Cranfield University, the University of Portsmouth, and Intelligent Omics Ltd, and published in Frontiers in Digital Health, used lifestyle and health data from 19,774 UK adults in the UK Biobank, tracked for up to 17 years. Unlike traditional prediction tools, the new model focuses entirely on behavioural, lifestyle and psychosocial information rather than blood tests or wearable devices.
The digital twin model system, developed by ARU, simulated how changes in people's day‑to‑day lives could alter long-term diabetes risk. It found that loneliness, insomnia and poor mental health were each associated with an estimated 35‑percentage‑point rise in risk, under AI‑modelled assumptions.
When all three of these factors occurred together, the model predicted a 78‑percentage‑point increase in absolute risk and is a more accurate predictor of type 2 diabetes risk than diet alone, the study found.

However, it warns this will only happen if political leaders learn from global destinations where tourism is successfully leveraged to sustain local identity and prosperity.
The report, A Visitor Levy for Gwynedd, highlights examples such as South Tyrol, where levy revenues and strong governance structures have helped protect the region's cultural and linguistic heritage, notably within its Ladin speaking communities, while improving visitor experience and driving higher value tourism.
The authors argue that Gwynedd, with its own strong cultural identity and Welsh speaking communities, could benefit from adopting similar principles of local empowerment, transparent governance, and strategic reinvestment.
The research draws on global practice, local stakeholder interviews, comparative economic data and a large survey of the willingness of visitors across Gwynedd to pay a levy.

BANGOR UNIVERSITY RESEARCHER CONTRIBUTES TO FIRST GLOBAL ASSESSMENT OF RIVER-FLOODPLAIN CONNECTIVITY
Dr Iestyn Woolway, a NERC Independent Research Fellow at the School of Ocean Sciences, contributed to the study, which provides the first global, long-term assessment of how rivers connect with their floodplains. Recently recognised as a finalist in the prestigious Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists, Dr Woolway's involvement further highlights the international impact of his work.
The study, led by Professor Lian Feng from Wuhan University, analysed nearly four decades of data from 1984 to 2019, on essential processes influencing flooding, ecosystems, and water quality worldwide.
The research reveals that surface water connectivity between rivers and their floodplains has increased slightly on a global scale over the past 40 years, with an overall rise of around 3%.
However, this global trend masks significant regional differences.

BELMONT UNIVERSITY: MAKING WAVES WITH MAKENZIE BOYLSTON
Biology alumna embarks on internship as research diver in Thailand, makes real-world environmental impact College of Science & Mathematics alum Makenzie Boylston ('25) has wasted no time in establishing her career in marine conservation. An accomplished diver with a heart for turtle protection and coral reef reconstruction, the young alumna is only days away from her biggest career move yet - a four month-long internship conducting coral reef research dives in Koh Tao, Thailand.
"This journey isn't at all what I expected, but there's so much beauty in that," she said. "Belmont set me on a path paved with passion. I won't always know exactly what the next step is, but now I have the skills to learn from any experience, which has been invaluable to me."
Fueled by the support and confidence she found both in and outside of the classroom, Boylston seizes every opportunity that comes her way - a continuation of the bold path she paved as a biology student. Swimming in Success
Immediately after graduation, Boylston applied to several open positions in her field. As employment opportunities failed to solidify, Boylston knew she would need to build a network and get field exposure elsewhere. The solution? Independently obtaining her scuba diving license and honing practical maritime research skills. Boylston began her diving education by taking a trip to Bonaire, a Dutch municipality on the coast of South America - both a diver's paradise and major hub for coral restoration projects - and obtaining her PADI open water certification.
"For one reason or another, whether it was funding or timing, doors just kept closing," she shared. "Getting my diving license and becoming confident in the water allowed me to dive in Bonaire and meet incredible people whose passions aligned with mine, which is so affirming right after college."

BSU STUDENTS GET A TICKET TO SAVINGS ON SOUTH COAST RAIL
For Bridgewater State University students commuting on the South Coast Rail, getting to class just got a lot more affordable.
A pilot program is offering BSU students coming from eligible areas, including New Bedford, Fall River and Taunton, 50 percent off MBTA train tickets through spring 2026.
"We are truly excited about the possibilities this pilot program represents. It's a direct response to what our students told us they need, and it reflects our commitment to removing barriers to higher education," said Vinny DeMacedo, senior advisor for External Relations, President's Office.
The idea for the program started when former student trustee E. Rose, '25, heard from students that their transportation costs for getting to BSU were high.
Rose worked on a plan and brought the issue to the attention of state Sen. Mark Montigny, D-Second Bristol and Plymouth. Together they worked on an appropriation for lowering those costs through a subsidy on students using the South Coast Rail.

"This internship has helped me with my future career prospects and feeling confident in going forth in the literary and magazine editing field," they said. "This has acted as a stepping stone for me to see what the environment is like and has given me the confidence to know that I can do this."
While Nerve to Write is not a BSU publication, its staff has numerous connections to the university. In addition to the five interns, English professor Sarah Fawn Montgomery serves as editor-in-chief, while English alumna Mialise Carney, '19, is assistant editor.

The data report, published annually by the innovation agency JIC, maps the region's research and technological progress. It is primarily built on a strong connection between research, the corporate sector, and technical education. The university is therefore an integral part of this ecosystem and continuously strengthens the region's innovation potential. Research as a Driver of the Economy The latest data report shows that companies in the region have significantly increased their investments in research and development over the past ten years. Key drivers include the IT sector, the production of electronic and optical devices, and mechanical engineering. Total R&D investments reached EUR1.04 billion last year, according to available data, with major investors including international companies Honeywell and Thermo Fisher Scientific.
In addition to private companies, Brno University of Technology is also heavily involved, long connecting cutting-edge research with practice, collaborating with industrial partners in the Czech Republic and abroad, and educating experts who find employment in technology companies as well as in their own start-ups, whose creation the university supports while fostering favorable conditions for their establishment.

A ROBOTIC DOG FROM FCE BUT MONITORS WORKPLACE SAFETY OR COLLECTS DATA AT CONSTRUCTION SITES
Researchers from Brno University of Technology are now training the robotic dog for autonomous movement and spatial orientation, but above all for data collection. "An important part of its equipment is a lidar sensor, which can scan the surrounding environment and create an accurate 3D model. Such data can be very useful for mapping structures, inspecting construction sites, or evaluating the actual condition of a space," said David Beckovsky, head of the Laboratory of Robotics and 3D Printing at the Faculty of Civil Engineering.
The robotic dog demonstrates what inspections at construction sites or in hazardous industrial environments may soon look like. It can easily overcome obstacles and carry equipment such as lidar worth hundreds of thousands of crowns. The robot can also be equipped with a thermal camera or a robotic arm. The current interface allows remote control of the robot and monitoring of camera footage via a mobile application. In the future, the research team will focus on achieving full autonomy of movement.
"If we were to compare the robotic dog to its living counterpart, it is currently at the developmental stage of a puppy or an adolescent. The goal, however, is to 'raise' an adult dog," concluded David Beckovsky. The ultimate ambition is intuitive navigation based on voice commands, which will minimize operational demands in challenging construction environments.

The path to the stars at Brno University of Technology can be explored not only through study programmes focused on aerospace and space technologies, such as Professional Pilot, Aerospace Technology, or Space Applications, but also through student teams - YSpace and Brno Mars Rover - where students push the limits of technology as well as their own abilities. Your own satellite? At BUT, it's reality The student team YSpace focuses on the development of small satellites known as CubeSats, which today represent one of the most dynamic areas of space research. These compact satellites make it possible to carry out scientific and technological experiments at lower cost compared to traditional missions, creating opportunities for innovation, testing new technologies, and involving student teams in real space projects.
Members of YSpace participate in the entire process - from the initial concept and design through construction and testing to the preparation of an actual space mission. The team works on projects with real scientific impact, such as the CIMER mission, focused on exploring the potential benefits of desiccation-based hibernation for cultivating biological materials in space, or the KOSTKA mission, the first Czech satellite designed and built entirely by students.
The goal of the team is to gain practical experience in the space industry and build a community united by a shared interest in space. However, it is not only about engineering, students from various fields can get involved, as the team also focuses on outreach, project management, and marketing alongside electronics development and satellite construction.

CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY: A NEW STAGE FOR SOCIAL SCIENCE: STUDENTS ORGANIZE CAMPUS-WIDE RESEARCH SHOWCASE
It started with a casual conversation over lunch-a group of Case Western Reserve anthropology PhD students reflecting on the work happening around them and a shared realization that much of it went unseen.
"We were just chatting about how there aren't that many opportunities for us to showcase our research unless we go to an external conference," said Jenna Hays, a third-year PhD student in medical anthropology. "So we decided to make our own opportunity."
Thanks to the efforts of Hays and fellow organizers Anuoluwapo Ajibade, Sarah Namirembe and Aria Wanek-and with support from professor and anthropology department chair Janet McGrath, PhD-that idea has since grown into Social Science Research Day: a new student-run event that will bring together undergraduate and graduate researchers from the social sciences on April 10.
"It's been a super collaborative effort," said Wanek, a second-year PhD student in medical anthropology. "We started with a general outline and then just kept building-getting buy-in from other departments, figuring out logistics and shaping what we wanted the day to look like."
The result is a dynamic program featuring both undergraduate poster presentations and graduate student oral presentations, representing disciplines of anthropology, psychology, sociology and more. In total, nearly 20 presentations will be showcased, reflecting a wide range of topics and methodologies.
For the organizers, the event is about more than just sharing research-it's about elevating the role of the social sciences within a research-intensive university.
"I think typically when people think of research, they think medical and quantitative," Hays said. "But qualitative and mixed-methods research is research, too. Having this platform shows that the social sciences are here and that they're supported."
That sentiment was echoed by Ajibade, who noted both the quality and real-world relevance of the work being done. "The social science community at CWRU produces a wide range of thoughtful and impactful research," he said. "We thought it would be nice to have a space where students can present their work and also build skills that help them share that research beyond the university."

NATIONALLY RENOWNED ELECTRICAL ENGINEER NAMED DEAN OF CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY'S ENGINEERING SCHOOL
Susan Hagness, PhD, a renowned electrical engineering researcher and educator and current department chair at University of Wisconsin-Madison, will become dean of Case School of Engineering July 1, Case Western Reserve University President Eric W. Kaler and Provost Joy K. Ward announced today. Hagness will become the first woman to be dean of engineering in the university's history.
In nearly 30 years on the faculty at University of Wisconsin-Madison, Hagness, the Philip D. Reed Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Maria Stuchly Professor of Electrical Engineering, has gained renown as both an electrical engineer who successfully transformed ideas into inventions and as a collaborative leader who chaired the university's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering for the past eight years. Hagness' research focuses primarily on microwave interactions with human tissue, including developing techniques to image, detect and treat cancers.
"Susan epitomizes what Case School of Engineering's community is known for: purpose-driven individuals who seek solutions that can help humanity," President Kaler said. "Her experience as a prolific researcher, an interdisciplinary partner and a visionary leader makes her an ideal person to fill this integral role."
As chair of a department with nearly 1,500 undergraduate and graduate students, almost 60 faculty members and a dozen administrative staff, Hagness championed the creation and implementation of two five-year strategic plans, grew the faculty, and fostered professional development across all career stages. She also helped build a collaborative culture across eight core research areas, invested in new research and instructional facilities, and facilitated the expansion of undergraduate and graduate academic programs, among many other achievements. Hagness also previously served as associate dean for research and graduate affairs for the College of Engineering.

CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY NAMED TO FORBES' 'NEW IVIES' LIST
Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) has been named to Forbes' list of "New Ivies," a group of 20 colleges and universities recognized for graduating students highly sought by employers.
The 2026 list-released this week-marks the first time Case Western Reserve has been included, placing it among 10 private and 10 public institutions identified for their ability to prepare students for a rapidly evolving workforce. CWRU was one of just two universities newly added this year.
To develop the rankings, Forbes surveyed more than 100 chief executives and senior hiring leaders, asking them not only to identify institutions producing top talent, but also to assess how advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping early-career hiring.
The resulting list highlights universities viewed as best positioned to educate graduates for an economy increasingly influenced by AI.
"We certainly appreciate this recognition by Forbes and the national attention it brings to one of our many strengths-hands-on and experiential learning that prepares students for their future careers," said Case Western Reserve University President Eric W. Kaler. "Technology is always evolving, and we will continue to find ways to utilize it in ways that enrich and augment student experiences, but our fundamental approach to career development remains the same."
In its report, Forbes noted that the selected institutions are "preparing and graduating the talent that employers will seek in this new era," particularly as technological change alters expectations for workers ages 22 to 25. CWRU's expanding efforts in AI were an area of focus.

CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY: AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION BACKS NEW RESEARCH THAT COULD TRANSFORM CARDIAC OUTCOMES FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS
New research is bringing science one critical step closer to understanding what causes cardiac arrest and potentially preventing it.
The American Heart Association (AHA) has granted Case Western Reserve University the Rapid Impact Research Award, a designation reserved for research the AHA considers urgent, high-priority and capable of delivering critical results to patients quickly. Photo of Cody Rutledge Cody Rutledge
Cody Rutledge, principal investigator and assistant professor of medicine at Case Western Reserve's School of Medicine, uncovered something that had previously gone unrecognized-that after cardiac arrest, the heart's own repair system shuts down.
Specifically, he found that the mitochondrial ribosome-the molecular machine that builds the parts heart cells need to generate energy-stops working, leaving the heart unable to recover.
Every year, nearly 350,000 Americans suffer a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital, and only about one in 10 survive, according to the AHA. Patients who do survive face life-threatening heart damage and death in the hours and days following resuscitation.
Rutledge's research team will now pursue two critical goals:
Confirm that suppressed mitochondrial protein production is a root cause of cardiac dysfunction after resuscitation. Determine whether providing the heart's cells with specific nutrients and compounds can restore mitochondrial protein production and improve survival outcomes.
"Support from the American Heart Association will help us accelerate our research," Rutledge said. "Perhaps most exciting is that our findings extend well beyond cardiac arrest."

CWRU SCHOOL OF MEDICINE NAMED AMONG THE BEST MEDICAL SCHOOLS BY U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT
Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine is one of the best medical schools for research in the country, according to the U.S. News & World Report's 2026 Best Graduate Schools rankings that were released on April 7. Named a Tier 1 Medical School for Research, the designation recognizes the strength of the school's research enterprise and the impact its work has on patients and communities on local, national and global levels.
This recognition reflects national prestige, as well as the shared commitment of the students, faculty and staff who are advancing medicine through discovery right here in Cleveland. It affirms what the university community has long known: that Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine is a place where innovation thrives and meaningful progress in healthcare begins.
For the third year in a row, U.S. News used evaluative tiers instead of traditional ordinal rankings, with Tier 1 representing the highest-performing medical schools that are considered statistical outliers in their greatness.
The Tier 1 ranking showcases not only decades of dedication to discovery but also a bright future, as the university's focus on driving groundbreaking research continues to expand, earning the title of #1 fastest-growing research university in the Association of American Universities just last month.
"Being named a top medical school within a great university is a reflection of our entire community," said Dean Stan Gerson, MD. "It recognizes the students who bring curiosity and purpose to their learning, the faculty who mentor and inspire, the staff who support the school's mission and the alumni who carry the university's values into their careers around the world."
The ranking is a celebration of CWRU School of Medicine's commitment to excellence and innovation, and a reaffirmation of its position among the nation's most respected institutions for medical education. It signals a strong future as the school continues to educate physicians and scientists dedicated to improving health and transforming lives.

CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY: PASSPORT TO PRACTICE: NURSING STUDENTS EXPLORE CULTURE AND CARE IN TAIWAN
While some students spent spring break relaxing on beaches, this year, 14 Case Western Reserve University Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students went a different direction.
Instead of taking a week off, they immersed themselves in a fast-paced journey across Taiwan-one that blended cultural exploration with exposure to a globally respected healthcare system. Accompanied by faculty members Deborah Lindell, DNP (NUR '03), and Chao-Pin Hsiao, PhD, the group spent a week engaging with hospitals, universities and communities, gaining a deeper understanding of how culture shapes care.
"This is really about gaining a 360-degree perspective-healthcare, nursing practice and the broader culture," Lindell explained. "We want students to understand not just how care is delivered, but what the society values and how that influences health." A group of nursing students poses in front of a mountain building in Taiwan with blue skies behind
From the moment they arrived in Taipei, students jumped into a packed itinerary developed in partnership with Taipei Medical University. Lectures, hospital tours, community visits and cultural experiences kept them busy-often logging more than 16,000 steps a day as they navigated the city.
Early in the week, students visited long-term care and adult day centers, where they didn't just observe-they participated. Some helped prepare meals, while others delivered food to homebound older adults or shared lunch with community members. They were struck by the compassion embedded in elder care and the opportunities for the elderly population.
For third-year nursing student Jackie Lopez, those moments stood out.
"I loved seeing how the facility was being used by the community and was very amazed at how inclusive this program was for elders with and without disabilities," she said. "Many of these concepts are very unique to Taiwan." Source: Company Website

INSIDE THE BUILD: MEET INDIVIDUALS BEHIND THE CONSTRUCTION OF CWRU'S ISEB PROJECT
This October, Case Western Reserve University will open the doors to its new Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building (ISEB), a 189,000-square-foot facility designed to foster innovative research across eight collaborative laboratories. While many will have the opportunity to see the finished space, fewer may realize the complexity and coordination required to bring a building of this scale to life.
Long before the members of the CWRU community step inside, the building has already been years in the making-shaped not only by steel and glass, but by the people behind its construction.
Behind the ISEB's framework, lighting and electrical systems is a team of more than 1,000 individual construction trade workers onsite, who work to ensure the building's structural integrity, safety and functionality. Among Discovery Builders-a joint venture between Turner Construction Company, Adrian Maldonado & Associates Inc., Next Generation Construction and the AKA Team-are several CWRU alumni who have helped guide the project from early design conversations to its final stages.

CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY: A DIFFERENT KIND OF DENTAL VISIT
The first thing fourth-year dental student Vihisha Bache noticed wasn't the patient's teeth-it was her hesitation.
Seated in a makeshift exam space inside a community center, an apprehensive woman gripped her walker and leaned back slightly, unsure of what would come next. She didn't speak English, and no one on site understood her language, but she desperately needed dental care. So, Bache slowed down. She held up a dental instrument, demonstrated how it worked and mimicked each step of the procedure before performing it.
Gradually, the patient relaxed. By the end of the visit, she had been referred for follow-up care-and eventually connected with a provider who spoke her language.
But the challenges of the day didn't stop with the language barrier. Bache wasn't treating patients in the dental clinic. Instead, she was participating in Case Western Reserve University's mobile geriatric dental program, part of its broader community dentistry initiative. The program, which brings care directly into neighborhoods across Northeast Ohio, treats patients who may never make it into a dental office-because of mobility challenges, transportation barriers, cost or fear-and gives fourth-year students firsthand experience treating them in real-world settings. Taking dentistry on the road Three dental students and faculty member Dr. Mahalaha pose with a seated geriatric patient. Dr. Mahalaha (bottom left) takes dental students out into the community for rotations working with geriatric patients.
The program itself was designed around a simple but powerful question: What happens when patients can't access care on their own?

For Drew Hensley and his wife, Laura, grief is personal and familiar.

Release date and author: Invisible Grief launched Jan. 20 by pastor and writer Drew Hensley
Those experiences helped shape "Invisible Grief," a new book that was released on January 20 by Hensley, pastor at ONE Fellowship in Charleston, South Carolina, and writer for The Key Life Network.

CHALMERS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY: INCREASING WILDFIRE RISK THREATENS MORE SPECIES
Wildfires are becoming more frequent and are ravaging new parts of the world due to global warming. A study by researchers from Chalmers and the University of Gothenburg shows that this change is increasing the vulnerability of thousands of plants, animals and fungi.
"Our study suggests that this is especially worrying in high-latitude ecosystems, where wildfire exposure is projected to increase rapidly while their capacity to recover may be relatively low. The real concern is that fire could become a new source of biodiversity loss in areas where it has not traditionally been considered a major ecological threat", says Ziqian Zhong at Geoscience and Remote Sensing at Chalmers, one of the authors behind the study.

With its 600 miles of coastline and 220 beaches, Long Island Sound generates a multi-billion-dollar "blue economy" for Connecticut and New York each year. The critical estuary harbors over 1,300 wildlife species, and millions of tourists and residents enjoy the Sound for fishing, boating, swimming, and other activities.
Yet, for many years, the waterway has been threatened by excess nitrogen pollution from sewage and lawn fertilizers that produce slow oxygen "dead zones," killing fish and other marine life and producing unsightly algae. Since 2001, joint federal and state "Save the Sound" efforts have reduced nitrogen loads, but water monitoring by the Long Island Sound Partnership indicates that area residents could do more to curb pollution runoff.

CLEMSON UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION INC.: PUBLIC SAFETY TELECOMMUNICATORS WEEK RECOGNIZES THE TRUE FIRST RESPONDERS
National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, recognized April 12-18 this year, honors the contributions and dedication of public safety telecommunications personnel. The true first responders, telecommunicators are the first voice heard by individuals in need when calling 911.
If you've ever called 911 or the Clemson University Police Department (CUPD), then you've talked to a telecommunicator, also known as a communications specialist or 911 dispatcher. Telecommunicators serve as the first point of contact for the vast majority of citizens in need of services from police officers, firefighters and EMS.
While police officers, firefighters and EMS may respond to several individual incidents during their shift, depending on the needs, telecommunicators respond to every call that occurs during their shifts.
Telecommunicators are also the lifeline for first responders in the field, providing a watchful eye for those responding to dangerous and traumatic incidents. Officers depend on their awareness, quick thinking and expertise to effectively execute the response to some of the most difficult situations imaginable.
This requires that in addition to answering calls, conducting information checks, connecting callers with support services and monitoring the safety of responders via radio, telecommunicators must be ready at a moment's notice to switch into emergency response for situations with the potential to put lives in jeopardy, such as active threats, medical emergencies and fires.

While Clemson University promotes a wide range of activities to encourage on-campus engagement, almost one sixth of its student population is drawn to one program in particular: Club Sports. For the 4,500 individuals participating across a total of 43 competitive sports, it offers the chance to continue a current recreational interest, return to a beloved pastime, or learn a completely new skill - all within a schedule that balances academics and other social involvements.
In addition to competitions throughout the academic year, athletes attend practices during the week, participate in occasional civic engagement opportunities and host fundraising events. Each Club Sports team belongs to a formal league, connecting them to opponents at other universities across the country and providing an opportunity to compete for regional and national championships.
Currently, there is a major development happening in the world of Clemson Club Sports. Club Sports Association President Jack O'Neill is assisting with the restoration of Campus Recreation's administrative oversight of Club Sports, which have operated independently for the last few years. The transition permits Club Sports teams who use Campus Rec facilities - such as Fike Recreation Center, the Upper and Lower Intramural Fields, the Snow Family Outdoor Fitness and Wellness Complex, and more. It also connects Club Sports leadership teams with advisors and faculty members, who can provide valuable guidance about organization finances and logistical planning.

FROM STUDENT TO INNOVATOR: HOW CLEMSON PREPARED TRISTAN LAWRENCE TO GROW WHAT'S NEXT
Most students hope college will prepare them for a career. Tristan Lawrence used his time at Clemson to start one.
While earning his master's degree in plant and environmental sciences, he conducted research that could help farmers across the Southeast and built a future that will keep him at Clemson long after graduation.
Originally from Kansas City, Kansas, Lawrence moved to Greenville, South Carolina, during middle school. When it came time to choose a college, Clemson offered something few places could: rigorous academics paired with a tight-knit, supportive environment.
"Clemson stood out because of its reputation as the state's premier agricultural school," Lawrence said. "The sense of community, the campus atmosphere and the energy around Clemson Football made it the ideal place for me to grow."
That connection only deepened during his undergraduate years. After earning his bachelor's degree in plant and environmental sciences in 2018, Lawrence made a decision familiar to many Clemson students: he came back.
He returned to Clemson as manager for Dil Thavarajah's Pulse Quality and Nutritional Breeding Program. In 2022, he qualified for the Employee Tuition Assistance Program and decided to pursue a master's degree as a non-traditional student. He will graduate in May with his master's in plant and environmental sciences.

In 2018, PAR Technology Corporation CEO Savneet Singh '05 took over a foodservice hardware company on the brink of bankruptcy. By early 2021, he'd rebuilt PAR into a thriving software-first company with a $1.4 billion market cap.
On April 17, Singh will share exactly how he did it. As part of the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management's Better Business Week, he will deliver his Dean's Distinguished Lecture from 3-4:30 p.m. in Warren Hall Room 401. The lecture is open to the public and will be preceded by an invite-only luncheon.
In his talk, Singh will explain the strategic decisions he made to extend PAR's reach into the software market for restaurants, convenience and fuel retailers, including major shifts to product strategy and company culture.
"I believed that software costs could eat a restaurant without restaurants realizing it," he said. "I felt that the right way to serve a customer was to consolidate their technology platform instead of selling them random tools, and I was fascinated by the idea of creating a tech company in a space that no one thought was possible."

A new exhibit in the downstairs of Fuertes Observatory allows visitors to view 800 glass lantern slides uncovered and catalogued by the Cornell Astronomical Society. person standing beside a spectograph outside, Click to open gallery view
Andrew Lewis '27, an electrical engineering major and vice president of the astronomical society, said the lantern slides - transparent photographs or paintings on glass plates designed to be projected onto a screen using an early slide projector - were sitting in three plastic tubs in a Fuertes office.
Though they had been digitized several years ago by members of the society and are available on the astronomical society's website, the actual slides haven't been on display recently.
"We found them, thought they were pretty cool and that it was disappointing they were just sitting there," Lewis said.
The Cornell Astronomical Society is a student organization that sponsors weekly Friday night observing events at the observatory at 209 Cradit Farm Drive, as well as special events and talks related to space and astronomy.

Twice in one year, the United States has been humbled by an adversary's ability to weaponize its control over one of the global economy's main arteries.
First, China wielded its dominance over rare earth minerals to secure a truce in President Donald Trump's trade war. Then, Iran effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, taking hostage global energy markets and leading to a ceasefire in its six-week war with the United States and Israel.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY: WILLIAM MAXWELL, COMPUTER SIMULATION PIONEER, DIES AT 91
William L. Maxwell '57, Ph.D. '61, the Andrew Schultz Jr. Professor Emeritus of Industrial Engineering and a pioneer in the field of simulation and scheduling, died March 31 at Saint Andrew's Village in Indiana, Pennsylvania. He was 91.
Maxwell spent his entire academic career at Cornell, where he earned his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees before joining the faculty in 1961. Over nearly four decades of teaching and research, he helped shape the intellectual foundations of operations research and industrial engineering, particularly in the emerging use of computer simulation to analyze complex systems.

William L. Maxwell '57, Ph.D. '61, the Andrew Schultz Jr. Professor Emeritus of Industrial Engineering.
A native of Philadelphia, Maxwell attended Central High School, where he developed an early aptitude for mathematics and engineering. He arrived at Cornell at a moment when computing was just beginning to transform engineering disciplines. As an undergraduate in 1956, he enrolled in one of the university's first computing courses - an experience that would define his career.
Working alongside his longtime collaborator and mentor, Richard W. Conway '54, Ph.D. '58, Maxwell was among the earliest scholars to recognize the potential of computers to model manufacturing systems. At a time when computing resources were limited to machines like the IBM 650, Maxwell developed innovative methods to simulate production planning and scheduling problems, helping establish simulation as a central tool in operations research.
His research contributions were wide-ranging and influential. Maxwell co-authored in 1967 "The Theory of Scheduling," a landmark textbook that remains widely cited and helped define the field. He also co-developed the XCELL Factory Modeling System, an early platform for simulating manufacturing processes, and contributed to the development of the Cornell Computing Language, reflecting his interest in both theory and computational practice.

Temporarily disabling a protein complex that organizes DNA into loops inside the cell's nucleus drastically disrupted the three-dimensional structure of the genome, but surprisingly most genes continued to function as usual, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers found.
However, they also discovered a small group of affected genes that play a critical role in guiding cells to become specific types, for example heart, brain or liver cells.
The study, published April 13 in Nature Genetics, helps resolve a long-standing paradox in biology about genome architecture and cell function, which may provide insights into certain developmental disorders and cancers.
The protein complex, called cohesin, plays a key role in shaping the three-dimensional structure of DNA inside the nucleus. This organization not only helps DNA fit inside the nucleus but brings distant regulatory elements into contact with the genes they control, influencing which genes are turned on or off to maintain cell identity and function.
Intriguingly, previous research suggested that removing cohesin - and the loops it forms - had little effect on overall gene activity. At the same time, mutations in cohesin are commonly found in cancers and in disorders, known as cohesinopathies, that affect physical and cognitive development.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY: 5.5M GROUND NESTING BEES MAKE HOME IN ITHACA CEMETERY
To save money, Rachel Fordyce parked her car for free at Ithaca's East Hill Plaza and walked through East Lawn Cemetery to her job as a technician in an entomology lab on Cornell's campus. One spring day in 2022, she walked in to work with a jar full of bees.
"These are all over the cemetery," she told her boss, Bryan Danforth, professor of entomology in the College and Agriculture and Life Sciences. They identified the bees as Andrena regularis (also known as the "regular mining bee"), a wild, solitary, ground-nesting species that is an important pollinator.

The regular mining bee (Andrena regularis).
Fordyce's jar of bees led to the discovery that the Ithaca cemetery is home to one of the largest and oldest recorded aggregations of ground nesting bees in the world, with an estimated 5.5 million individual bees. That's the equivalent of more than 200 honeybee hives in a 1.5-acre plot of land, and more than three times the population of Manhattan.
"I'm sure there are other large bee aggregations that exist around the world that we just haven't identified, but in terms of what is in the literature, this is one of the largest," said Steve Hoge '24, first author of a new study published April 13 in the journal Apidologie. The research delves into the biology of these economically important but understudied wild bees, using those at East Lawn Cemetery as a case study. Hoge conducted the research as an undergraduate working in Danforth's lab.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY: GAMELAN CONCERT HIGHLIGHTS THAI ROYAL ANTHEM
The April 26 concert by the Cornell Gamelan Ensemble will feature a piece inspired by Thailand's royal anthem to celebrate and welcome Parkorn Wangpaiboonkit, who joined the music department as an assistant professor last fall. The concert will also include other gamelan pieces with a variety of styles and melodies.
The 7:30 p.m. concert will take place in the Groos Family Atrium of Klarman Hall and is free and open to the public. The ensemble, which was created at Cornell in 1972, consists of large mostly bronze percussion instruments and performs the most prominent form of traditional music in Indonesia.
The featured piece, "ladrang Siyem," is a Javanese gamelan adaptation of the traditional anthem and was composed in homage to King Prajadhipok (Rama VII) of Thailand (then called Siam), who visited the Surakarta Palace in Java, Indonesia in 1929.
During the concert, Christopher J. Miller, senior lecturer in music and director of the ensemble, will join with Wangpaiboonkit to talk about the historical and musical idiosyncrasies of the original Siamese melody and its Javanese adaptation.

Stories of service permeated Ariela Asllani's childhood.
The firefighters she hung out with as a little girl at the fire station near her father's one-man hot dog joint in a rough part of Chicago put themselves in harm's way for their neighbors.
At home, she heard stories of how her family members took in Kosovo refugees when they lived in Albania.
"They would lay out mattresses all over their living room floors or kitchen while artillery from the Serbian positions were landing just kilometers away," she said. "I grew up with those stories and that sense of service before self."
This May, Asllani '26, a public policy major, will graduate from the Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and head to Oxford University to study refugee and forced migration as a recipient of a national Keasbey Scholarship.
Julie Ficarra, associate teaching professor in the Brooks School and Asllani's honors thesis adviser, said her unwavering focus on her academic, professional and personal goals is unparalleled.
"Ariela can hold her own in really heady intellectual spaces, but she's equally natural and confident in community-engaged spaces, for instance talking to recently resettled refugees about their journey to the United States," Ficarra said. "These are two very different skill sets."

CORNELL UNIVERSITY: SMARTER HURRICANE WARNINGS SAVE BILLIONS
Hurricanes are the biggest storms on the planet and the costliest natural disasters in the U.S., often decimating property and infrastructure as they crash onto the southeastern coast.
But better weather forecasting can reduce that damage by nearly a quarter, offering enormous savings, according to a new Cornell study.
Improved hurricane forecasts from 2007 to 2022 led to a 23% reduction in the cost of damages, or $2 billion saved per hurricane - more than the entire federal budget for weather forecasting, the researchers found.
"These forecasts are much more valuable than the costs to improve them. If you have better forecast data, you can do a better job of making decisions on how to deal with the storm," said study co-author Ivan Rudik, the Kenneth L. Robinson Professor of Applied Economics and Public Policy in the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management at the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business.
The research, "The Social Value of Hurricane Forecasts," was published April 3 by the National Bureau of Economic Research. Rudik's co-author is Renato Molina, assistant professor at the University of Miami.

Drake enters Friday's contest with a 14-5 overall record and has put together a strong and balanced season built on depth throughout its lineup. The Bulldogs have consistently found success in singles play, with multiple players contributing across all six positions.
Sam Melaga continues to lead the way with a team-best 13-1 record in dual singles this spring, anchoring the middle of the lineup. Arin Menon has also been a key contributor with a 12-3 record, while Jose Hernandez has added nine wins and enters the match at 9-4.
In the upper half of the lineup, Alan Gonzalez and Ben Johnson have each recorded eight singles victories, providing steady production near the top. Christian Winstead has added four wins at the No. 1 position, contributing in key moments throughout the season.
Drake's depth remains one of its greatest strengths, as the Bulldogs have consistently relied on contributions from multiple players rather than a single focal point.
In doubles play, the pairing of Adan Tarquino and Ulysse Verrando has been Drake's most reliable tandem with a 5-4 record. The duos of Gonzalez and Johnson, along with Alex Yeager and Arin Menon, have each seen extensive action and enter the match with 5-6 records.

DRAKE UNIVERSITY: FORMER BULLDOG TOM YOUNGBERG RECOGNIZED WITH 2026 DOUBLE D AWARD
Former Drake University student-athlete Tom Youngberg will be honored by Drake Athletics with the prestigious Double D Award on Friday, April 24 during a reception and ceremony. Youngberg is set to become the 259th recipient of the Double D Award. "I was extremely surprised, excited and humbled [to learn of this recognition]," Youngberg said. "Drake has remained a big part of my life and helped to prepare me in my career and personal life. This is award of a lifetime that I will forever be grateful for. Thank you so much for this incredible honor." Youngberg, a former member of the Bulldogs' football team, will be presented the award for his athletic accomplishments at Drake and his continued professional success following graduation. Tom will be honored inside Drake Stadium during the Friday day session of the Drake Relays prior to a reception and ceremony in the Schickler Club within the Knapp Center later that afternoon. A key contributor on the Drake football team from 1964-68, Tom helped the Bulldogs to an 8-2 record during his junior season. He was considered one of the Bulldogs' most feared defenders, or as his teammates referred to him, the "Monster Man." Youngberg started in the Bulldogs' defensive backfield for nearly two full seasons and excellent in reading opposing screen plays and always delivered tackles with a notable force. Immediately after graduating with a degree in journalism, Tom began his professional career in the paper industry, specifically at Pollock Packaging, a leading paper supply company located in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Youngberg was vital to Pollock's growth over the next 50 years, gaining the utmost respect as a leader that stands to this day. In 2013, he received the Pollock Packaging Lawrence S. Pollock Award as recognition for outstanding performance. Tom served as both Vice President and General Manager at Pollock and later earned Pollock Experience Certificates of both 25 and 30 years before eventually retiring.
"Tom Youngberg embodies everything the Double D Award represents - the pursuit of excellence in his professional life, meaningful civic engagement, and commitment to his community," said Drake director of athletics Brian Hardin. "Tom was a successful businessman in the Dallas area, has mentored youths, and remained engaged with his football teammates and alma mater. We are proud to recognize Tom with this well-deserved honor in 2026."

DRAKE UNIVERSITY: BULLDOGS FALL TWICE TO SALUKIS IN SERIES OPENING DOUBLEHEADER
The Drake softball team began another Missouri Valley Conference series on Friday night as it hosted the Southern Illinois Salukis in a doubleheader from Buel Field. It was not the Bulldogs night, however, as they fell in both contests dropping game one, 11-0, and falling in game two, 3-1. Southern Illinois 11, Drake 0 Game one of the day saw the Salukis take control from the jump and shutout the Bulldogs behind an impressive pitching performance from Brooklyn Danielson. Danielson held the Bulldogs offense to just four hits in the game, three singles and a double by Ava Curry, and tallied nine strikeouts to just one walk. SIU grabbed the lead in the first with one run scored off the first of three Drake defensive errors in the game, but the damage was limited to just that single run with the Bulldogs getting out of a bases loaded jam. In the second, Southern Illinois plated two more runs with a two-RBI single by Maleah Blomenkamp to make it a 3-0 ballgame. After a scoreless third, SIU put up its first crooked number inning of the game as it scored four runs in the fourth inning. Blomenkamp continued her strong day at the plate leading off with a solo home run and then a couple batters later Amanda Knutson launched a two-run homer. Jordan Stewart drove in the last run of the inning with a base knock down the left field line. With the scoreboard reading 7-0 the Bulldogs were on the verge of getting run-ruled, but relief pitcher Cassidy Gall held SIU scoreless in the fifth and sixth innings. That changed in seventh, however, when the Salukis put up another four-spot. SIU took advantage of a Drake error, a wild pitch, and two hits to push its lead out to 11-0 and take the win in the first contest.

DRAKE WOMEN WIN THIRD STRAIGHT WITH MVC VICTORY OVER REDBIRDS
Drake women's tennis began its final homestand of the season with a 4-3 victory over Missouri Valley Conference rival Illinois State on Friday night. The Bulldogs got off to a good start in doubles play and held on through singles to pick up their third straight win.
Maja Dodik and Jordane Dookie, the top Drake doubles duo this season, beat Lana Caculovic and Silvia Pomarolli, 6-1, before the Dogs locked up the doubles point in the next match.

DRAKE BATTLES PAST SIU IN SERIES FINALE, 10-7
The Drake softball team picked up a big-time conference win on Saturday afternoon as it defeated the Southern Illinois Salukis, 10-7, in dramatic fashion from Buel Field. After being shutout in game one of Fridays doubleheader against SIU pitcher Brooklyn Danielson, the Bulldogs looked for a redo against the freshman on Saturday. Drake made quick work on that attempt and took a 2-0 lead over the Saluki's as fellow freshman Kiley Kindelspire launched a two-run home run to center field following a leadoff single by Frankie Rita. In the third, the Saluki's fought back with a home run of their own. Maleah Blomenkamp made it a 2-1 contest with a leadoff solo shot. That was the only damage done in the inning, however, as Drake starting pitcher Ashlynn Sheets bounced back recording three consecutive outs. The Bulldogs put an end to Danielson's day in the circle in their half of the third after Rita started the frame with a leadoff double. SIU called in Hailey Lucas from the bullpen, and she put an end to the Bulldog threat producing a pair of flyouts and strike out, leaving Rita stranded at second. The momentum then shifted in favor of the Salukis over the next two innings. Hayden Kurtz tied the game at 4-4 in the fourth hitting a solo homer, which eventually led to SIU scoring four runs in the fifth to take the lead. SIU launched its third long ball of the day courtesy of a Sage Grann two-run shot, followed by an RBI base knock, and an RBI by Kurtz. Now facing a 6-2 deficit, Drake had to come up with a response. The Bulldogs did just that and immediately reclaimed its lead with a five-run bottom of the fifth.

DUKE UNIVERSITYTHE GIG ECONOMY
That is a defining principle of the modern gig economy that platform companies across the globe are attempting to duplicate.
For instance, when more Uber drivers compete for rides, the platform can take a larger cut of the fare and pay its drivers less.
But a new study co-authored by Duke University's Fuqua School of Business Professor Can Zhang determined the principle breaks down when a middleman steps in.

DRINKING ENOUGH WATER TO PREVENT KIDNEY STONES IS DIFFICULT, EVEN WITH SUPPORT
Drinking more water is one of the most common recommendations for preventing kidney stones. But a new Duke-led study suggests it may not be as simple as it sounds.
Kidney stones affect about 1 in 11 people in the United States, and nearly half will experience them again. To understand whether various supports could help patients meet their prescribed water drinking goals, researchers conducted the largest behavioral study of its kind, tracking more than 1,600 participants over two years.

DUKE UNIVERSITY A CONVERSATION WITH CQ BROWN, JR.
In a Policy 360 podcast interview at Duke University's Sanford School of Public Policy, General CQ Brown, Jr., the 21st Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, talks about leadership, trust and decision-making based on his military career and public service. Brown is an executive in residence at Sanford.
Brown notes that effective leadership begins with credibility, which is earned through behavior rather than authority.
He emphasizes that leaders gain respect by being humble, approachable, and willing to admit mistakes and learn from them.
"As a leader, if people are afraid of you, people will do things just so they don't get in trouble, and they're only going to do the minimum amount to make sure they don't get in trouble," he says.

DUKE UNIVERSITY SLOW DOWN, BE PRESENT
Three Duke faculty members have taken on a shared challenge: helping students slow down and make meaning from community‑engaged learning. Their methods differ, but they converge on reflection as a practice of presence rather than performance.
Katie Hyde's "Literacy Through Photography" course pairs Duke students with elementary students in Durham Public Schools. Over the semester, students learn to pay close attention to what children notice and create. For the final reflection, Hyde moves away from a conventional essay and toward creative structure, modeling the assignment on Wallace Stevens' poem "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird." By returning to specific moments instead of summarizing everything, students are prompted to decide what truly mattered. Reflection becomes intentional, rooted in lived classroom moments.

DUKE UNIVERSITY FROM CHALK TO CALCULATORS, THE ANALOG TOOLS DUKE EMPLOYEES SWEAR BY
Students in Duke's Department of Mathematics are learning skills that will carry them into the future, albeit with a tool that's been used for centuries.
Chalk.
Used in American schools since the early 1800s, chalkboards hang in most of Duke's math classrooms, where faculty members write out formulas and equations with chalk.
"For math, chalk is very effective for a number of reasons," said Duke Professor of Mathematics Ezra Miller.
Miller said using chalk forces him to be deliberate about what - and in what order - he shares material.
For Ezra Miller, chalkboards remain the best medium to use for sharing math with his students. Photo courtesy of Ezra Miller. The slow pace of writing equations by hand provides time to explain his thinking and for students to take notes.

A DUKE DISCOUNT THAT HITS ALL THE RIGHT MUSICAL NOTES
Catherine Wu once played the violin and viola. Now a Grants and Contracts Administrator supporting Duke's Department of Medicine Research Administration Support Resource, Wu played the string instruments all the way through college, in fact, but somehow never attended a professional symphony concert.
That is, until a Duke staff and faculty discount recently helped her attend the North Carolina Symphony for 20% off regularly priced tickets.
Wu listened to "The Music of John Williams" and "The Music of Harry Potter" at Meymandi Concert Hall in Raleigh - and was grateful she checked to see if Duke offered a discount, first.
"I might not have gone without the discount," said Wu, who noted tickets to the John Williams concert were $84 without the discount. "It was impactful not only to hear, but also see, iconic songs performed - the magical celesta and flowing strings of Hedwig's theme from Harry Potter, the enchanting woodwinds and French horn in Princess Leia's theme from Star Wars, the resounding brass and percussion of the Olympics theme and so many more."

DUT ALUMNA CONTRIBUTES TO GLOBAL BREAKTHROUGH IN HIV PREVENTION RESEARCH
Thabile Mwandla's journey began with what seemed like an ordinary school visit but would later prove life-changing. When the Durban University of Technology visited her high school to present its programmes and entry requirements, one presentation quietly sparked a future that would reach far beyond what anyone in that room could have imagined.
Among the programmes introduced that day, Clinical Technology stood out to Thabile. She was instantly curious and deeply inspired. In that moment, something shifted, a quiet but powerful sense of direction that would later shape her career and her contribution to global health. "I was curious from the very beginning. Clinical Technology stood out for me, and something inside me told me that this was where I belonged," she explained.
Born and raised in KwaMaphumulo, Thabile grew up under the care of her grandmother while her mother worked as a domestic worker. Despite her humble beginnings, she carried an unwavering belief in the power of education. Her circumstances did not define her dreams; instead, they strengthened her determination to succeed.
With focus and discipline, she excelled in her studies, driven by the memory of that school visit and the possibilities it revealed. She passed matric and enrolled at DUT to study Clinical Technology, stepping into a future she had once only begun to imagine.
After graduating, Thabile began her career as a Clinical Technologist specialising in Pulmonology. Her dedication and excellence quickly set her apart, and by the age of 26, she had been appointed Head of Department in Pulmonology. While this was a significant achievement, it also became a moment of reflection for her.
"Achieving so much at a young age made me reflect deeply. It reminded me that success is not just about reaching goals, but about continuing to grow," she explained.
Her turning point came unexpectedly during her work in a hospital, where she met a Clinical Researcher whose work immediately captured her attention. Observing the impact, depth, and global importance of clinical research reignited the same curiosity she had felt years earlier at that school visit.
Once again, she asked questions and followed curiosity rather than comfort. That curiosity led to a bold decision to transition into clinical research, a move that would redefine her career and expand her impact far beyond the clinical setting.

Thabile Mwandla, a Clinical Technology alumna of the Durban University of Technology (DUT) is amongst a selected team of South African clinical researchers who contributed to the development and testing of Lenacapavir, an innovative injectable medication designed for HIV prevention.
This is exciting news for DUT and Mwandla as the South African Department of Health confirmed the arrival of the first shipment of 37 920 doses of Lenapacavir on Tuesday, 07 April 2026. The Health Minister, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi described this first shipment as a significant boost to the country's HIV prevention efforts.
Clinical Research Associate, Thabile Mwandla.
Mwandla who is a Clinical Research Associate shared her excitement on the arrival of the first shipment Lenapacavir doses in South Africa. She is proud of herself for having been amongst the game changers She revealed that last year in June, the team received communication that Lenacapavir was finally approved.
"We were happy to get the news of its approval. We could not wait for its arrival in South Africa. Administered just twice a year, Lenacapavir represents a major advancement in efforts to curb HIV transmission, particularly in high-burden communities. We have worked hard over the last three years testing the medication. We had 25 sites made up of clinics, hospitals and research centres. The investigations were conducted in South Africa and Uganda. Our patients were young people aged 18-25 years and within three years we had a break through after many tests were conducted and we had undergone several approvals from international health regulatory bodies," shared Mwandla.
Born and raised in the rural area of KwaMaphumulo, KwaZulu-Natal Mwandla's desire is for the medication to be accessible freely to all citizens, especially young people.
"My wish is for the medication to be offered for free to everyone especially young people in schools and universities. I believe that is where we can curb the spread of HIV, young people remain among the most vulnerable to new HIV infections. Having grown up in a rural area, I advocate for people in the rural areas and townships. Scientific breakthroughs must be matched by equitable access, education, and community outreach to achieve meaningful public health impact," shared Mwandla.
According to Mwandla this innovation is more than a medical advancement; it represents a shift in accessibility, dignity, and hope. She believes by removing the challenge of daily adherence, it offers a simpler and more effective option for millions of people at risk of HIV
After graduating from DUT, Mwandla began her career as a Clinical Technologist specialising in Pulmonology. Her dedication and excellence quickly set her apart, and by the age of 26, she had been appointed as the Head of Department in Pulmonology.
She was later accepted into postgraduate Honours studies in the Science of Clinical Research at the University of Liverpool in London, marking the beginning of her journey into global medical science.
Beyond her scientific achievements, Mwandla is also an entrepreneur and the founder of the Mwandla Foundation, an organisation dedicated to supporting high school learners by providing basic needs, career guidance, and mentorship to help them pursue their educational dreams.
Mwandla's achievement underscores the University's commitment to research excellence and translating knowledge into innovation, entrepreneurship and meaningful societal impact, in line with DUT's ENVISION2030 strategy.

FLINDERS UNIVERSITY: NEW GENOMIC INSIGHTS FOR KEY SNAPPER FISHERIES
Snapper are central to coastal life across southern Australia, supporting fisheries, local businesses, and regional tourism.
New Flinders University research has found that although snapper populations across southern Australia are highly connected, they are not fully interchangeable.
The study shows that local environmental conditions help maintain important population adaptations, a finding with implications for stock recovery, fisheries management and resilience under climate change.
The research revealed that snapper populations may be more biologically distinct than they first appear, despite their capacity to move over long distances.
Using genomic data from fish sampled across more than 1500 kilometres of coastline, researchers found two broad regional populations with high overall connectivity within each region.
But the study also found that the environment-linked parts of the genome told a different story.
Genetic differences associated with local environmental conditions, such as variation in salinity and minimum sea surface temperature, were maintained among populations, especially in areas such as Ceduna and northern Spencer Gulf.

FSU EXPERTS DISCUSS NEEDOHS: THE VIRAL TOYS WITH REAL-WORLD APPEAL
Soft, squishy stress toys known as NeeDohs have become a fixture on office desks, in backpacks and across social media feeds, transforming from children's playthings into mainstream tools for stress management and focus. According to two Florida State University experts, their rise reflects an understanding of simpler mental health techniques and a savvy blend of sensory appeal and digital‑era marketing.
Brad Schmidt, director of the Florida State University Anxiety and Behavioral Health Clinic, says that squeezing objects like NeeDohs can help calm the brain and body by offering a simple, repetitive sensory‑motor task. That physical engagement can shift attention away from racing thoughts and help ground people in the present moment. Predictable tactile input, Schmidt said, can feel regulating because touch is one of the brain's most basic signals of safety and bodily awareness.

FORDHAM UNIVERSITY: A GOOD REASON FOR SPRING CLEANING: GABELLI SCHOOL'S CLOTHING EXCHANGE
Between job interviews, a gala, and commencement, spring means a lot of events-and a lot of new outfits-for Gabelli School graduate students. To help them replenish their wardrobe while reducing clothing waste, Fordham's Responsible Business Center created a biannual clothing exchange. The spring event will be held April 28 to 30, from 4 to 7 p.m., in Lowenstein's Third-Floor Lounge.
The exchange was originally designed for Gabelli School grad students, but they aren't the only beneficiaries: the swap gives the entire Fordham community an excuse to donate and take home gently used clothes. Clean clothing donations are accepted until April 24 in the Student Success Center (Suite 126, 140 W. 62nd St.). Anyone who donates clothes gets a voucher to "shop" up to five items from the swap on its first two days. The final day is open for anyone to take home free fashion finds.
The joy that the exchange brings is always fun to watch, said Kate Kennon, assistant dean of graduate advising at the Gabelli School. "People like clothes, and people like to get things for free. They also like the randomness of finding these little treasures."

Spring migration season typically runs from March through May, peaking in April, according to Ben Freeman, an ecologist and assistant professor in the School of Biological Sciences at Georgia Tech. Georgia lies along the Atlantic Flyway, aiding migratory birds - such as warblers, sparrows, and flycatchers - with a path to the Appalachians, the Great Lakes, and their home territories, where they will breed in the spring.

GVSU RESEARCH: WEST MICHIGAN ECONOMY POSTS SECOND MONTH OF MODEST GROWTH
Despite the fluctuating federal tariff policies and rising costs, the West Michigan economy remains resilient, according to data collected by a GVSU researcher.
Brian Long, director of supply chain management research at GVSU's Seidman College of Business, said the region's purchasing managers reported modest growth for the second consecutive month.
"Our monthly survey of the West Michigan industrial economy has posted a second positive month of growth," Long said. "Of course, we hope this trend will continue, but the business environment is in a state of flux."
Long's March report showed encouraging signs for the regional economy.
His new orders index, a measurement of a firm's business improvement, rose sharply to a four-year high. His production metric, which reflects a firm's output, also increased significantly.
Long said the survey mirrors national and international data that showed modest growth in March. However, rising costs, uncertainty surrounding tariffs and conflict in Iran are prompting caution among firms.
"Because of this uncertain tariff situation and the war in Iran, inflation is now running rapidly in the industrial market," Long said. "About 40% of our respondents are reporting price increases out of control.
"For the consumer, the good news is that industrial inflation does not automatically roll over into consumer inflation like it did years ago."

HSE RESEARCHERS TRAIN NEURAL NETWORK TO PREDICT PROTEIN-PROTEIN INTERACTIONS MORE ACCURATELY
Scientists at the AI and Digital Science Institute of the HSE Faculty of Computer Science have developed a model capable of predicting protein-protein interactions with 95% accuracy. GSMFormer-PPI integrates three types of protein data (including information about protein surface properties) to analyse relationships between proteins, rather than simply combining datasets as in previous models. The solution could accelerate the discovery of disease molecular mechanisms, biomarkers, and potential therapeutic targets. The paper has been published in Scientific Reports.
Almost all cellular processes depend on interactions between proteins. Cells use these interactions to transmit signals, initiate and regulate chemical reactions, and form molecular complexes essential for proper functioning. When such interactions are disrupted, cellular processes can malfunction, potentially leading to disease.
Therefore, to study disease mechanisms and identify therapeutic targets, it is important for scientists to understand which proteins can interact and which cannot. Determining this experimentally is difficult: when dozens or hundreds of proteins are considered, the number of possible pairs becomes too large to test individually. As a result, biologists use machine learning methods to predict these interactions based on the structure and properties of molecules.

People just aren't drinking the way they used to.
"As recently as the late 1990s or early 2000s, 85 percent or more of high school seniors said they drank in the past year. Now that number is down to about 42 percent," said Kathryn McHugh, a Harvard Medical School associate professor of psychology at McLean Hospital and the director of the McLean Hospital Stress, Anxiety, and Substance Abuse Laboratory. "Those are whopping changes in effectively less than a generation."
Despite those promising trends, alcohol remains a major public health concern, McHugh said. About 28 million Americans had alcohol use disorder in 2024.
McHugh's lab focuses on the intersection of substance use and anxiety. She says even as Americans' relationship to drinking has changed, so has the clinical understanding of alcohol use disorder, or, to use the outdated term, alcoholism.
For the latest installment of "One Word Answer," we asked McHugh to explain the shifting paradigm that reframes addiction as an illness like any other.

Garber, Allison, O'Sullivan speak to strong ties between University and military, thank cohort for impact on campus life, students
The enduring connection between Harvard and the U.S. military owes not just to the service of thousands of students and graduates through the decades but also to shared values, President Alan Garber said on Tuesday.
Garber, together with leaders at the Kennedy School and the Belfer Center, spoke at a reception at Loeb House for this year's National Security Fellows, a dozen active-duty officers holding the ranks of lieutenant colonel, commander, and colonel. The fellows spent the academic year taking classes, leading seminars, and participating in working groups on topics ranging from the future of diplomacy to atomic power and weapons.
"We are very, very deeply connected with the military," Garber said. "Harvard students and alumni have served going back to King Philip's War, in 1675, before there was a United States. It's not only a reflection of the age of Harvard - it's a reflection of common values. There's so much we stand for in common, and a lot of it has to do with service and service to the country, which can take many different forms."

HKUST DEVELOPS WORLD'S FIRST BIO-INSPIRED ARTIFICIAL CILIA SYSTEM
A research team at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has achieved a major scientific breakthrough by developing the first artificial cilia system capable of replicating the fast, complex, three-dimensional motion of natural cilia found throughout the human body. The study, recently published in Nature titled "3D-printed low-voltage-driven ciliary hydrogel microactuators", marks a significant advance in soft robotic materials and bio‑inspired micro‑engineering.
Cilia-microscopic hair-like structures-play vital roles in clearing mucus from the lungs, circulating cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, and supporting reproductive processes. For decades, scientists have sought to recreate their sophisticated mechanics, but achieving realistic motion in engineered systems has remained a persistent challenge.

HKUST RESEARCHER UNCOVERS A NEW AND CONTACT-FREE FORM OF FRICTION DRIVEN BY MAGNETISM
An international interdisciplinary research team led by Prof. Richard GU Hongri, Assistant Professor of the Division of Integrative Systems and Design at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), has made a groundbreaking discovery that challenges a centuries-old understanding of friction. For over 300 years, scientists have adhered to Amontons' law, which posits that friction increases monotonically with the load pressing two surfaces together. However, this new study reveals that friction can manifest even without physical contact, opening avenues for the development of wear-free technologies and reshaping our comprehension of this fundamental rule that governs everyday activities from walking to braking a car. The study titled "Nonmonotonic Magnetic Friction from Collective Rotor Dynamics" was recently published in the leading international journal Nature Materials.
In collaboration with scholars from the Universitat Innsbruck and the University of Konstanz, the findings demonstrate that friction can arise entirely without mechanical contact, driven instead by collective magnetic dynamics. Even more strikingly, the friction does not increase steadily with load-it reaches a peak at a specific distance where magnetic interactions become frustrated and hysteretic.
Prof. Gu stated, "This study shows that friction is not solely a mechanical phenomenon. It can originate entirely from internal reconfigurations-specifically, collective magnetic reorientations-even when two surfaces never make contact."

HOWARD UNIVERSITY TWIN BISON SIBLINGS AND GRADUATING SENIORS LULU AND SAFIYA MOHAMED HAVE TURNED LIFE'S TRAGEDIES INTO TRIUMPHS
Commencement is bittersweet for many Howard students, who are saying goodbye to a found family and a community they have grown to know as home. For Lulu and Safiya Mohamed, that family is literal - the twins were born within one minute of each other. They came to Howard through separate journeys, but like most twins, they found their way back to each other. As they prepare to graduate, their paths are again set to diverge, but they share a common career mission and life vision.
"My twin sister, Lulu, and I have always been two halves of the same heartbeat," said Safiya. "In a childhood filled with uncertainty, fear, and constant change, the one thing that never shifted was us. From the moment we came into this world, our lives were intertwined. We shared everything-beds, clothes, whispered secrets, and dreams that felt bigger than the lives we were living. When things were good, we celebrated together. When things fell apart, we held onto each other even tighter."

Jayda Gray and Sophia Hurtado-Hernandez have spent the past few years stirring up a bit of trouble at Howard University - good trouble. As co-chairs of the Coalition for Good Trouble, the graduating senior political science majors have taken the lead in promoting voting among Howard's students. By setting up tables with information, hosting events, and using social media to educate and inform, they are meeting students where they are and promoting civic engagement. Both developed a passion for politics at an early age but were surprised at the lack of voter engagement in their communities. Now, they are determined to do something about it.
Howard's Coalition for Good Trouble was founded in 2022 by Dean of Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel Bernard L. Richardson, Ph.D., and focuses on engaging and mobilizing Howard University students to affect social change through voting and legislation. The student-led organization works to educate their peers about voting rights, stressing the need to embrace their power to influence the direction of the nation. They also work to protect community voting rights.

ITMO-MADE 3D MAP OF BITTER AND UMAMI FLAVORS WILL IMPROVE FOOD SENSOR ACCURACY
Researchers from ITMO University have presented the first Russian-made 3D map of bitter and umami flavors. It explains how humans perceive and discern these flavors, where the associated molecules are located, and how independent of each other the two receptory systems are. The study employed molecules typically associated with the bitter and umami flavors. The compounds responsible for bitterness, for one, are found in wine. These findings will help improve "electronic tongues" - sensors designed to assess and monitor the flavor of products - as well as accelerate the creation of products' digital twins in order to predict their flavor before they're made. Other applications for the map include the restaurant industry. Results of the study were published in the journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry

To evaluate the taste of new products and monitor their quality, manufacturers use an "electronic tongue." This sensor device can produce a more objective result compared to a human expert. However, these "tongues" process taste as a set of data and cannot tell exactly how humans will perceive and discern between flavors.
The thing is, one product can contain several million various ligands (chemical substances) and ions responsible for the sweet, bitter, sour, salty, and umami flavors. In general, scientists are aware of how ligands connect to each taste's receptors and thus transmit information to the brain. But the same molecule - take, for instance, catechin, can interact with receptors of both bitterness and umami. These become harder to discern when the flavors are combined and, thus, a dish may taste more bitter than it really is. This is why it's important to find out where ligands are located in space relative to each other, whether they mix or stay apart, and how they interact with various receptors.

Based on: The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
After reading the newly-translated tale of the Devil's mischief-making gang in the USSR, frontman Mick Jagger penned one of the most famous book-inspired songs in history. What he crafted in 1968 was the Devil's musical POV, which went on to cause quite a stir in its day. Inspired by Bulgakov's cultured and observing Voland, the song reflects on a timeline of human chaos. The trial and death of Jesus Christ, the end of tsarist Russia, World War II, and the JFK (and later RFK, too) assassination - these are just some of the historical events alluded to in the song.

INHA UNIVERSITY: 'SELECTING FUTURE-ORIENTED EXPLORATORY TALENT COMMITTED TO SCHOOL LIFE' - ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE 2028 UNIVERSITY ADMISSIONS PLAN
Our university announced on the 8th the direction for establishing its 2028 university admissions plan.
This admissions plan reflects the 2022 revised national curriculum and the restructuring of the 2028 university admissions system. It is designed with a focus on reducing applicants' burden and promoting balanced regional development, while embodying the university's educational philosophy of selecting future-oriented exploratory talents who are committed to their school life.
The Student Record Comprehensive Admission (Inha Future Talent), a representative early admission track, will be operated in a dual system consisting of a "Interview-Based Track" and a "Document-Based Track." Reflecting the intent of the achievement-based evaluation system introduced in the 2022 revised curriculum, subject evaluation methods aligned with each track's talent profile have been adopted to ensure students' freedom to choose courses based on their career paths and aptitudes.
The Interview-Based Track evaluates both career exploration competencies and academic achievement. For common and general subjects, class rank and achievement levels will be considered, while for career and interdisciplinary subjects, achievement levels will be reflected. The first-stage selection ratio has been standardized at 3.5 times the number of available seats across all departments. For the pre-med program, the CSAT minimum requirement is set at a combined grade of 4 or below across three subjects among Korean, Mathematics, English, and Inquiry (average score, truncated at the first decimal place).
The Document-Based Track has expanded its admission quota by approximately 200 students compared to the previous year. It conducts a holistic evaluation focusing on diligence in school life and academic achievement, reflecting class rank and achievement levels across all subjects.

INHA UNIVERSITY: ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS ACHIEVE OUTSTANDING RESULTS AT THE 2026 JUNGLIM STUDENT ARCHITECTURE AWARD
Students majoring in Architecture from the Department of Architecture recently achieved outstanding results at the 'Junglim Student Architecture Award 2026.'
This competition was held under the theme of how to construct a sense of "we" in an increasingly individualistic society, aiming to explore the relationship between individual lives and communities through architecture.
Students Baek Jun-hyuk, Lee Eun-tak, and Kim Sung-il won the Grand Prize with their work titled "Building a Village for Country Mice."
Based on the spatial structures and relationships found in rural villages, they architecturally interpreted ways in which "I" and "we" can coexist within urban environments.
Rather than viewing cities as mere aggregates of individualized housing units, their project proposed restoring communal life by reconstructing the spatial structure and relational dynamics of rural villages within the urban context.
To achieve this, they reconfigured the horizontally spread structure of rural villages into a vertical form suited to urban density, reinterpreting elements such as housing units, courtyards, fences, and interstitial spaces to create a structure where individual preferences and neighborly relationships coexist.
They expanded the concept of architecture as a "device that connects individual fantasy with communal relationships," and sought to redefine the city as a space where the life of the individual and the relationships of the collective are continuously generated.
Students Oh Cha-yeon and Shin Sung-hyun received an Honorable Mention with their work titled "Still, By My Side."

THE UJI ANALYZES THE STATE OF STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN UNIVERSITY LIFE
The Universitat Jaume I (UJI) has concluded the diagnostic phase to analyze the current state of student participation in university life, an action framed within its Government Action Plan 2023-2026. This diagnosis draws an X-ray that highlights the strong sense of belonging of the student body and establishes the future challenges to promote a more active participatory culture.
The study, carried out using its own qualitative methodology contrasted with the Via Universitaria report (2023-2025) of the Vives Network, reveals a significant base of trust between students and the institution. 40.4% of the students feel that they are regularly consulted and 25.6% perceive that they have the capacity to participate in decision-making and make proposals.
Although active participation in management bodies (6.8%) and in the associative field (5.8%) continues to be a minority, the diagnosis identifies a great opportunity for growth: 11% of students express a proactive desire to expand their current levels of participation.

A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM FROM THE UJI INITIATES A NETWORK TO IMPROVE HEALTHCARE WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNIQUES FROM AN ETHICAL PERSPECTIVE
Promoting the development and application of more precise, ethically responsible AI-based tools adapted to real clinical needs for the improvement of quality of care in healthcare environments is one of the main objectives of the NursIA network, a proposal of a multidisciplinary team from the Universitat Jaume I of Castellon made up of five research groups in areas such as nursing, biostatistics, machine learning, process mining and applied ethics.
The initiative, funded by the UJI's 2025-2026 Research and Knowledge Transfer Promotion Plan, through the call for expressions of interest for the constitution of multidisciplinary thematic networks of collaboration in research and innovation, seeks to contribute to the transformation of healthcare and provide innovative AI-based solutions that improve patient safety and the efficiency of healthcare processes.
NursIA aims to generate a significant impact in three key areas: scientific and technical, institutional synergies and transfer, communication and dissemination. The first will serve to strengthen collaboration between groups and also the training of research staff in the new lines of the groups that make up the network. In addition, it will also generate new institutional synergies with health entities and other actors in the sector. And, thirdly, to offer training to improve the digital skills (AI) of health personnel and expand the knowledge of citizens in this area.
For this reason, it is planned to hold, in the coming months, a conference on practical implementation of AI in clinical settings and the first Open Day of the NursIA Network on Artificial Intelligence and transformation of the health system in October. In addition, the research team is preparing several publications on AI applied to the field of care that will be part of a special issue of the journal Enfermeria Clinica.

KAROLINSKA INSTITUTET: KI CONSOLIDATOR GRANT ENABLES NEW APPROACH TO MULTIMORBIDITY AND AGEING
Why do some people, though not all, develop several long-term illnesses and functional impairments as they get older? A new research project at Karolinska Institutet aims to find answers by looking at ageing as a connected whole, rather than a set of separate diseases.
KI Researcher Davide Liborio Vetrano at the Aging Research Center (ARC), Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society, has been awarded a Consolidator Grant from Karolinska Institutet. The five-year grant will support research into ageing, multimorbidity and the biological processes behind declining health in later life. Looking beyond single diseases
As people live longer, it is becoming more common to live with several chronic conditions at the same time, often combined with reduced physical or mental function. The new project, "Chasing the complex architecture of aging: integrating systems biology, epidemiology, and intervention simulation for healthspan extension (CHASE‑H)", sets out to better understand why this happens.
Instead of focusing on one illness at a time, the researchers will study how different parts of the ageing process are linked. This includes biological changes in the body, the development of chronic diseases, and changes in physical and cognitive ability.

Most people with thyroid disease are helped by established treatments, but not all. In his thesis, Fredric Hedberg studied treatments that are used when standard treatment is not enough for hyper- and hypothyroidism; iodine solution (Lugol) and combination treatment with the thyroid hormone T3. The results contribute to increased knowledge about these treatments. Portrait of PhD Student MMK Fredric Hedberg
"In the treatment of hyper- and hypothyroidism, we can in most cases rely on well-established therapies. However, in our clinical practice we sometimes encounter patients for whom standard treatment is not sufficient", says Fredric Hedberg, PhD student at the Experimental and Clinical Neuroendocrinology research group, Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, Karolinska Institutet and Associate Senior Physician, ME Endocrinology, Karolinska University Hospital.
"In the thesis, we have therefore studied non-standard treatments for thyroid disease, with a focus on iodine solution (Lugol's solution) for hyperthyroidism and additional treatment with T3 hormone (liothyronine) to T4 treatment (levothyroxine) for hypothyroidism", he continues.

KAROLINSKA INSTITUTET: GUT BACTERIA LINKED TO LEVELS OF LATENT HIV
The composition of gut bacteria appears to be associated with how much latent HIV remains in the blood of people receiving antiretroviral therapy. This is shown in a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Gut Pathogens. The findings offer clues as to how the gut microbiome may influence the amount of virus that persists in the body.
Despite effective antiretroviral treatment, HIV remains in the body in a dormant form, known as the viral reservoir. This reservoir is the main reason HIV cannot currently be cured. In the present study, researchers at Karolinska Institutet investigated whether the gut microbiota - the bacteria living in the gut - might be linked to the size of this reservoir.
The study included 30 people living with HIV who had been on long-term antiretroviral treatment. The researchers analysed blood samples to measure levels of intact HIV DNA and combined these data with detailed profiling of the participants' gut microbiota using whole-metagenomic sequencing. The results show that certain bacterial species and metabolic processes in the gut differed between individuals with larger and smaller HIV reservoirs.

KAROLINSKA INSTITUTET: ANAEMIA LINKED TO INCREASED CANCER RISK
Anaemia detected in healthcare is associated with an increased risk of both cancer and higher mortality. This is shown in a new population-based study from Karolinska Institutet, published in BMJ Oncology. The findings may help guide clinical follow-up of patients with anaemia in routine care.
Anaemia is common among patients in healthcare and is defined by haemoglobin levels below the normal range. In this study, the researchers analysed the association between newly detected anaemia and the risk of cancer and mortality, and examined whether different types of anaemia, classified by the size of red blood cells, play a role.
The study is based on register data from the Stockholm Early Detection of Cancer Study (STEADY‑CAN) and includes almost the entire adult population of Stockholm County between 2011 and 2021. In total, just over 190,000 adults with newly detected anaemia were included, along with an equal number of age- and sex-matched individuals without anaemia. All participants were over 18 years of age and cancer-free at study entry.
The participants were followed for up to 18 months after anaemia was detected. During this period, 6.2 per cent of men and 2.8 per cent of women with anaemia developed cancer. The corresponding figures among individuals without anaemia were 2.4 per cent and 1.1 per cent, respectively. Mortality was also higher in the group with anaemia.

KAROLINSKA INSTITUTET: UNDERSTANDING EVERYDAY FUNCTIONING IN AUTISM AND ADHD
To provide timely and effective support, we need to understand more than symptoms and diagnoses. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet are therefore working to make it easier to build a holistic picture of how an autistic person or a person with ADHD functions in everyday life and in their surrounding context. The aim is to enable earlier, more individualized support-both within healthcare and beyond.
Sven Bolte is Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Science and Director of KIND (Center of Neurodevelopmental Disorders at Karolinska Institutet), and leads the long-term work behind the study.
"To me, it is clear that we need to shift focus from always starting with which diagnosis an individual may have, to first thinking in terms of functioning," he says. "More stakeholders than healthcare need tools to understand how a person functions, what is easy or difficult, and which environmental factors have an impact. This makes it easier to provide individualized support early, where difficulties are identified-for example in school, leisure activities, or the workplace."

KAZAN FEDERAL UNIVERSITY A RENOVATION STORY: NEW PROJECT ABOUT OUR DORM LIFE
This time, we'll focus on a place where students feel at home, where they feel safe and beautiful, and where the interiors foster a positive attitude toward academic excellence and self-improvement.
We spoke with parents and discovered that when choosing a university for higher education, parents, as well as prospective students, pay particular attention to the condition, location, and convenience of student dormitories.
Modern student dormitories are more than just a place to sleep, but a stylish and vibrant space for study and self-improvement. Thanks to their recent renovations, cozy atmosphere, and well-designed infrastructure, the campus is becoming a true hub of inspiration, where students can comfortably study, socialize, and develop their skills. These are modern havens of comfort, created specifically for those who want their student years to be fulfilling and productive.
This time, we spoke with Arina Nurmukhametova, who lives in Dormitory No. 7 (for students studying at the Institute of Management, Economics, and Finance). It's worth noting that the major renovations here were completed in June 2025, as part of a national project. Currently, 502 people live here.

KING'S BRINGS TOGETHER EXPERTS TO DISCUSS READINESS IN GLOBAL SECURITY
King's College London welcomed a full house of students, academics, alumni and partners for an eve of conference event ahead of the main London Defence Conference.
Led by Professor John Gearson, Director of the Centre for Defence Studies at King's, the event set the tone for two days of high-level discussion on global security and 'readiness' in central London. While the main conference, now in its fourth edition, takes place off-site, this opening event reinforced King's role as a central convening space for critical debate and defence dialogue.
A key theme of the evening was the importance of involving the next generation in shaping defence and security conversations. Senior Vice President (Academic), Professor Rachel Mills, highlighted that readiness is not only about military capability, but also about "strategic understanding, institutional resilience, and informed public debate" - areas where universities play a vital role. She emphasised that students are "the next generation who are going to study, advise and lead", making their inclusion essential rather than symbolic. Professor Mills also gave a welcome at the main conference the following day alongside Lord Salisbury

KING'S COLLEGE LONDON RESEARCHERS ARGUE FOR DIVERSITY OVER CONTROL IN AI DEVELOPMENT
Public concern about AI safety has grown significantly in recent years. As AI systems become more powerful, a key question is how we make sure they do what we actually want. Now, researchers suggest that rather than trying to eliminate misalignment between AI and humans, we should embrace and manage it through a diverse ecosystem of AI systems that can balance and correct one another.
While we have shown that sufficiently strong AI cannot be fully controlled or predicted, we also demonstrate that agents can be influenced by other agents without central control, and that greater diversity and openness influence their behaviour. As these systems get more powerful, ensuring they remain beneficial to and aligned with humanity becomes more important.
Dr Hector Zenil, senior author and Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor at King's Institute for AI and the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences Published in PNAS Nexus, the paper uses mathematical principles to demonstrate that an AI system powerful enough to exhibit artificial general intelligence will inevitably explore behaviours we didn't predict or plan for, making perfect guaranteed alignment impossible.
However, rather than trying to create a single, perfectly controlled AI, the researchers propose what they call 'agentic neurodivergence' - a diverse ecosystem of AI systems with different goals, values and approaches. The idea mirrors natural ecosystems, where diversity fosters resilience through adaptability.
In the proposed model, no single AI system is allowed to dominate. Instead, multiple AI agents with partial alignment to different human values compete and cooperate, checking each other's extremes. If one system starts behaving in ways that are harmful or misaligned, others can counterbalance it.

KING'S COLLEGE LONDONHOW INDUSTRY AND GEOGRAPHY PLAY A ROLE IN SUPPORT FOR RADICAL RIGHT PARTIES
Dr Ruben Ruiz Rufino found that communities with clusters of workers in labour-intensive sectors consistently showed higher levels of support for radical-right movements than areas dominated by knowledge-based industries.
The study, published in the journal Political Studies, sought to examine how local economic environments shape political attitudes across Europe.
Using municipal data from Spain, Dr Ruiz Rufino found that towns with high exposure to labour-intensive activities, such as agriculture, hospitality, and construction, recorded markedly stronger radical-right vote shares. On average, support for such parties was about seven percentage points higher in municipalities heavily exposed to these industries compared with others.
Dr Ruiz Rufino also analysed survey responses from individuals across 17 Western European nations. He found that workers in labour-intensive sectors were more likely to develop exclusionary attitudes, particularly where job insecurity and lower education levels were common. These factors, when concentrated geographically, were strongly linked to support for radical-right parties.

KING'S LEADS GLOBAL PUSH TO STANDARDISE ROBOTICS FOR STROKE TREATMENT
Until now, no agreed framework existed for how robotic systems for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) should be built, tested or evaluated. A new position statement, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA), fills that gap, defining standards that put patient safety first.
MT is a life-saving procedure used to remove blood clots from the brain. The complex procedure is needed within hours to achieve the best outcomes, but as it requires specialist expertise, access remains limited.
Robotic surgical systems could expand access to MT by enabling specialists to perform procedures remotely. However, progress has been hampered by a lack of standardisation across studies.
"In 2023, we carried out a systematic review of endovascular robotics and autonomy," said Harry Robertshaw, first author and PhD student at the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences. "We found that although several studies existed, they were all testing different tasks, using different models and measuring different outcomes. This made it impossible to compare results or identify the most effective approaches."

AI literacy is rapidly becoming the No1 curriculum priority for university departments not only in the UK but worldwide.
According to McKinsey, 88% of businesses are using AI in at least one business function and ChatGPT is now estimated to be the fifth most visited website in the world.
Liverpool Business School at LJMU has responded by delivering short courses in the form of 'micro-credentials' to equip students with not only the skills and knowledge but also evidence of their AI readiness.
Dr Gemma Dale, an expert in workforce development at the school said: "AI literacy is now a fundamental skill, and while the full impact of AI technologies on jobs and the labour market is yet to be understood, we can say with some certainty that employees will need to become skilled users of AI."
To date, around 100 students have completed the courses with a further 100 currently 'under training'.

The European Centre on Privacy & Cybersecurity (ECPC), established at the Faculty of Law in 2016, was created just after the adoption of the GDPR - at the precise moment when implementation, rather than legislation, became the real challenge.
Driven by a vision to inspire and inform, ECPC has developed into a leading post-academic institution where professionals can begin their training in privacy, cybersecurity and data governance. From short executive courses, up to an advanced master, ECPC prides itself in not only educating its students on essential knowledge but also providing the practical skills and confidence needed to navigate the challenging world of privacy and cybersecurity.
With the 10th anniversary, together with its staff and global community of alumni and experts, ECPC will celebrate everything learned over the past ten years and - equally as important - we will look ahead to future educational responsibilities.

MAASTRICHT UNIVERSITY OWNERS OF FAMILY BUSINESSES OFTEN LACK ADEQUATE PREPARATION FOR THEIR ROLE
Owners of family businesses feel they are insufficiently prepared for their role. While succession planning regarding management or employee positions within the family business is carefully discussed, attention to future ownership and the associated responsibilities is often lacking. It is striking that more than half of family businesses lack formal family governance. BDO Accountants & Advisors calls for proper documentation of governance regarding ownership and succession. This ensures owners are professionally prepared for their future and helps prevent potential conflicts within the family.
This is evident from research on ownership and ownership strategies in family businesses conducted by the Maastricht University Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (CEI), in collaboration with BDO. BDO conducts an annual study of the dynamics within and surrounding family businesses.
Ownership is more demanding than ever 41% of (potential, current, or former) family business owners lack adequate preparation for ownership. They primarily prepare on their own and feel that the family plays a (too) limited role in this process. Topics that are insufficiently addressed during preparation include personal development, business strategy, preparation for entrepreneurship/dealing with failure, and financial knowledge and skills. It is striking that so many owners still consider their preparation insufficient, as good ownership can make or break a family business. The requirements for owners are becoming increasingly stringent, partly due to expanding families, business transfers where little attention was paid to the psychological aspects of family businesses, and stricter governance standards. This calls for professional ownership with specific competencies to fulfill the role of owner. Three types of competencies emerge from the research: matching competencies (which refer to recognizing and leveraging valuable combinations of resources), governance competencies (which relate to value creation through effective management and an appropriate organizational structures), and timing competencies (which involve making strategic choices at the right moment). An owner does not automatically possess these types of skills simply by working in the family business; rather, they require, for example, education or training.

MAASTRICHT UNIVERSITY HONOURING HERITAGE, EMBRACING HOSPITALITY: SBE ALUMNA YINYIN'S STORY
When she walks through the doors of her restaurant on the weekend, she is not just an owner checking on operations. She is also a project manager, a strategist, a sister, and an entrepreneur balancing two very different worlds.
Yinyin Zhao, SBE Alumna of Maastricht University School of Business and Economics, she spends most of her weekdays working with the A-list hightech giants in the fast paced logistics industry. Her attention shifts to a growing restaurant venture in the south of the Netherlands, a business she unexpectedly joined to help her brother. What started as a last-minute solution has quickly turned into a promising entrepreneurial journey.
Her role from the outset has been unconventional. Rather than giving up her corporate career, she has balanced both worlds contributing to strategy, operations, and team development for the restaurant while maintaining her projects in the tech sector. "I told him I wanted to keep my corporate job," she says. "But I would support the business wherever I could."

MAASTRICHT UNIVERSITYTAX AND INVESTMENT TREATY OVERLAPS
Supervisors: Dr Esperanza Buitrago Diaz (on behalf of the University of Rosario) and Prof Dr Raymond Luja
Keywords: Double Taxation Conventions, International Investment Agreements, Fragmentation of International Law, Depoliticization
Every euro of foreign investment is fought over, and companies demand certainty before they commit. Yet the treaties governing international tax and foreign investment are becoming a tangled mess to operate as two completely separate worlds. This legal fragmentation doesn't just confuse businesses - it creates opportunities for governments to overstep. The result? A paradox: states try to fund growth while discouraging the very investment they depend on. Instead of bridging the gap, UN proposals - pushed by tax authorities - threaten to pull these two systems even further apart, leaving businesses trapped in the crossfire.
The UN's newest framework suggests that investment arbitration should play no role in matters covered by bilateral tax treaties. This PhD reaches the opposite conclusion: as politics should be kept out of judicial review and legal protection, arbitrary, discriminative or confiscatory tax treatment might still call for independent review.

MAKERERE UNIVERSITY: HEALTH IS NOT CHARITY: INSIDE UGANDA'S TREASURY RETHINK ON FINANCING
Uganda's health system is entering a new phase-one where the biggest challenge is no longer building it, but sustaining it. External funding is tightening. Domestic resources are under pressure. Demand for care is rising faster than both.
In this new reality, health is no longer just a social priority but a financing problem and a test of economic strategy.
For years, the system expanded on government investment, backed by strong external support. Infrastructure grew. Services followed. But that model is now under strain. Expectations are rising. Citizens want better care, closer to where they live, and without the financial shock that so often comes with illness.
Uganda is already investing in health. The real question is whether that investment is sustainable and whether it is delivering value.
It was against this backdrop that policymakers, academics, and practitioners gathered at Makerere University on April 9 for a public lecture and high-level dialogue on health financing. At the centre of the discussion was a keynote by Dr. Ramathan Ggoobi, the Permanent Secretary to the Treasury under the theme "Investing in Health for Uganda's Future: Delivering Vision 2040 through Smart and Sustainable Health Financing."

HANDS-ON RIMS TRAINING EQUIPS MAKERERE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE REGISTRARS TO POWER GRADUATE SUCCESS AND RESEARCH EXCELLENCE
College Registrars and Senior IT Technicians at Makerere University have undergone intensive, hands-on training in the Research Information Management System (RIMS), in a move aimed at strengthening graduate training, improving completion rates, and advancing the university's research agenda.
The training, held on Friday at the CFT 2 Building, Lecture Room 4.1 Computer Lab, brought together key custodians of academic records to gain practical skills in using the system that university leadership says will transform graduate education management.
In his opening remarks, the Director of Graduate Training, Julius Kikooma, underscored the strategic importance of RIMS, linking it directly to the university's long-standing challenges in tracking graduate students and supporting research progression.
"Graduate training is central to the research mission of this university," Prof. Kikooma told participants. "Yet for years, we have struggled to answer simple but critical questions, where exactly are our graduate students in their academic journey, and why are many not completing on time?"
He pointed out that the issue has consistently drawn concern from top university leadership, including Council, particularly as Makerere rolls out its new five-year strategic plan. "One of the key priorities identified is improving graduate completion rates," he said. "But we cannot improve what we cannot measure."
Prof. Kikooma explained that unlike undergraduate programmes, graduate studies are largely research-driven and therefore more complex to monitor. "The research component of graduate programmes has not been adequately captured in any system," he noted. "That is why it has been difficult to track progress, supervise effectively, and provide accurate reports."

MCMASTER UNIVERSITY: THOUSANDS OF CANADIAN CHILDREN GROWING UP WITH INCARCERATED PARENTS, STUDY FINDS
A new study is shedding light on how many Canadian children experience parental incarceration, providing, for the first time, a credible estimate for a group that has been "statistically invisible" in policy and service planning.
Available data in Canada doesn't identify whether children have experienced parental incarceration - which is an adverse childhood experience - making it extremely hard to understand how many children need support or the types of services needed.
The study, published in PLOS One on April 8, identified nearly 170,000 children younger than 18 who experienced parental incarceration in Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Saskatchewan between 2015 and 2021. Researchers say that about 1.2 per cent of children in these provinces experienced parental incarceration per year, however, this number is likely an underestimation due to limitations on available data.
The study was led by researchers at McMaster University, alongside collaborators at universities and community organizations across the country.
"Parental incarceration is not only a criminal justice concern - it constitutes a fundamental violation of children's rights, disrupting family bonds and fueling intergenerational trauma. Closing the evidence gap is urgently needed to measure and mitigate the harms of this critical adverse childhood experience," says Christine Bentley-Wang, study co-author and assistant professor with McMaster University's Department of Pediatrics.

MCMASTER UNIVERSITY: LIBRARY PARTNERSHIP WITH NEW ACADEMIC PROGRAM STRENGTHENS STUDENT LEARNING
As health care grows more complex, McMaster University's Integrated Rehabilitation and Humanities program is equipping students with the critical thinking skills needed for evidence-informed practice.
Run by the Faculty of Health Sciences, the new program brings together students from a range of disciplines to study the intersection of health, rehabilitation, and humanities. The program focuses on the art and science of health and well-being while helping students explore the deeper reasons behind patient care.
The Health Sciences Library began working with program leaders during early planning conversations, helping design research support to prepare students to navigate complex information environments and sort through disinformation.
"In health care, you need to be able to find information, evaluate it, and apply it to the context you're working in," said Stephanie Sanger, education and curriculum planning librarian at the Health Sciences Library. "If we can help these students build the skills now, we can set them up to become even better health care practitioners."
Now in its second year, the program includes two introductory library sessions where students learn database searching, citation practices, and how to work with both health and social science literature. Students are also introduced to archival and primary source materials, expanding their exposure beyond traditional health databases.
Library workshops include interactive components where students actively build searches and learn through hands-on practice. The Health Sciences Library meets with program students twice in the fall term, with additional one-on-one support available as their research projects develop.

MCMASTER UNIVERSITY: TO THE MOON: THE MECHANICAL ENGINEERING BEHIND THE ARTEMIS II LAUNCH
On April 1, more than 3 million people tuned in to NASA's YouTube channel to watch as Artemis II took flight. This historic launch marked the beginning of a nearly 10-day lunar trip for the crew-and set the stage for humanity's return to the Moon.
We reached out to Andrew Gadsden, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Principal Investigator of the Intelligent and Cognitive Engineering Lab at McMaster University, to talk about the historic launch. Drawing on his research expertise and experience working with NASA, he offered an expert perspective on the launch, breaking down how mechanical engineers are key to rocket launches and why the Artemis II mission is so important to space travel. Why is the Artemis II launch so important?
It has been over 50 years since humans have visited the Moon. This launch is the first step towards getting back there. In fact, many more Artemis missions are planned, with the ultimate goal of establishing a lunar base which will be used to launch to Mars.
Closer to home, the Artemis II launch is so important because it's a moment that has the potential to inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists. What role would mechanical engineers play in the launch?
Rockets scream mechanical engineering!
Mechanical engineers are involved in pretty much every stage of the launch. This includes the design, analysis, protection, propulsion, manufacturing and operation of the rocket.

McMaster's innovation community showed up in full force to celebrate the university's entrepreneurial ecosystem at the third annual Made at Mac event.
Through its commercialization and entrepreneurship programs, McMaster has supported nearly 400 startups, with over $1 billion raised and more than 1,000 jobs created, Gianni Parise, vice-president of Research, told attendees at the recent campus event.
"Made at Mac is a celebration of that success, but more importantly, it celebrates the people behind those numbers," said Parise. "The founders who took the leap, the students who tried something new, the mentors and partners who said yes, and the teams who make this ecosystem function."
The event was an opportunity for innovators, investors, and partners to network and learn how discoveries in the lab are being transformed into real-world impact.
A panel hosted by President Susan Tighe offered insights into the commercialization journeys of three startups that have spun off from research at McMaster.
"We have something at Mac that is unique, and that is the drive and the passion of the people here," said Engineering professor Ali Emadi, founder and CEO of Enedym.
He urged budding entrepreneurs to take advantage of the wealth of mentorship opportunities at McMaster and to build a cabinet of trusted supporters to provide unbiased and honest advice: "If there is somebody who is rooting for you - a PhD supervisor, a master's supervisor, a dean, a president - hang onto them."

MIDDLESEX UNIVERSITY FILM GRADUATE'S CHARACTER-DRIVEN BLACK COMEDY LANDS MAJOR STUDENT TV AWARD
A Middlesex film graduate's final year project won a prestigious Royal Television Society (RTS) Student Award for the London region for Best Entertainment and Comedy Drama, after receiving nominations in three categories.
Birthday Boy is a black comedy short about a birthday party that goes calamitously wrong. A chain of events is set off by the death of a cat, and the film draws its energy from the fraught relationship between artist Rae, the gender identity-questioning protagonist, and their father who has come to visit.
Rosa says, and the RTS judges' remarks concur, that the film's humour comes from the character situations and the rising tension rather than laugh-out-loud lines. She had vivid ideas to include - such as a birthday volcano oozing guacamole in a Mexican restaurant scene; and she wanted to write about the condition of "knowing who you are and keeping a sense of who you are when people close to you aren't seeing you".

NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY WARMING INTENSIFIES RAINFALL IN NORTH ATLANTIC STORMS
A new study led by Newcastle University using satellite data shows that tropical cyclones and their post-tropical cyclone counterparts are responding quite differently to surface warming. The findings reveal that during the tropical cyclone phase, warmer and more humid conditions are causing storm slowdown and strongly increasing rainfall intensity.
Tropical cyclones are a major driver of very heavy rainfall in warm parts of the world. They can bring huge downpours that not only significantly add to total seasonal rainfall but also increase the risk of flash flooding. In the North Atlantic, these storms are especially important during the peak hurricane season (Aug-Oct), with tropical cyclones producing as much as 30-40% of all rainfall in some regions during that season.

The show marks an important milestone in her artistic development following her acclaimed degree presentation.
Hudson‑Moses' practice has long explored the nature of memory-how it forms, erodes and renews over time. Her work examines both familial and genetic memory, particularly its transmission through matriarchal lineage. This interest led her to the striking science of Foetal Microchimerism, the process by which foetal cells cross the blood-brain barrier and continue living within the maternal body. This revelation prompted her to ask: Does she still carry the physical substance of her children within her?

Researchers at Northumbria University have been awarded £4m to unlock the secrets of Earth's radiation belts and why they behave so unpredictably - information which is crucial for protecting satellites and forecasting space weather.
Radiation belts are areas of space surrounding the Earth where the planet's magnetic field captures and holds fast-moving particles. In these harsh environments, some particles reach nearly the speed of light.
The intensity and size of these belts can change dramatically over just hours or days in response to disturbances from the Sun. However, scientists currently cannot predict their behaviour - whether they will intensify or weaken, expand or shrink.

OSU PALEONTOLOGY STUDENTS HELP RESEARCH PREHISTORIC ECOSYSTEMS
Two anatomy and vertebrate paleontology students from the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences helped author studies examining the prehistoric food web and the broader ecosystem of a section of North America during the late Jurassic period.
Colin Boisvert and Andy Danison joined several other international researchers and paleontologists on two research papers that were published in the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Bulletin in January.
The teams studied the ecology of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals that lived alongside each other in an area of the Morrison Formation that stretches across the Rocky Mountain region into eight states, including the Oklahoma Panhandle.
"It's vast. We're talking over 1.2 million square kilometers," Boisvert said, and estimates are that the fossils and prehistoric evidence found in the formation date back to 156 million and 147 million years ago.
Anne Weil, PhD., paleontologist and associate professor of anatomy at OSU-CHS, said the fossil record found in the Morrison Formation contains more than just dinosaurs.
"The general public is captured by the large dinosaurs, but there are vertebrates of all sizes and types, as well as many invertebrates, plants and algae in the Morrison Formation," Weil said.
The team of authors of the first paper analyzed the food web of the Dry Mesa Dinosaur Quarry in western Colorado, part of the larger Morrison Formation, using a data tool called Cheddar.

OSU ONLINE COURSE IS RAISING THE BAR ON HORSES NEEDS
Oklahoma State University Extension is offering an online course to help horse owners understand their animals' psychological well-being.
"Many horse owners are comfortable assessing a horse's physical and biological needs but struggle to effectively identify affective or emotional states," said Kris Hiney, OSU Department of Animal and Food Sciences associate professor and Extension specialist for horses. "Researchers or scientists can evaluate stress through heart rates or hormone concentrations, but owners have to rely on behavior."
RAiSE - Recognizing Affective States in Equine - is a self-paced, interactive online course designed to help participants understand the importance of affective states to horses' daily lives, how they express their emotions, better recognize abnormal states and pain, and how to make management adjustments based on affective states.
Readings paired with quizzes and interactional activities allow participants to identify those states and compare their horses' behaviors, Hiney said.
"The course is very interactive," she said. "It is based on real-world application, so it's easy for participants to carry what they learn directly into their barns."
The RAiSE course was created by equine specialists with more than 70 years of combined industry experience and is designed for people of all experience levels interacting with horses.
Hiney collaborated with Kathy Anderson from the University of Nebraska, Colleen Brady from Purdue University, and Amber Wells and Joan York from OSU to create the course.
As an OSU graduate student in animal science, Wells was instrumental in helping create the course as part of her master's program, Hiney said. She now works as a customer success associate at Vetcove.
"I'm incredibly grateful to have collaborated with such an inspiring and driven group of women," Wells said. "We designed the course to help horse owners better recognize and respond to their horses' emotional states and make more informed decisions about their care. I'm excited to see the course's participant pool continue to grow and make a meaningful impact on equine welfare and management."

OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY: MAKING HISTORY: KINDER NAMED RECIPIENT OF SOCIETY OF MILITARY HISTORY DISTINGUISHED BOOK AWARD
Dr. John Kinder, a history professor at Oklahoma State University, was awarded the Society for Military History (SMH) Distinguished Book Award for his book, "World War Zoos: Humans and Other Animals in the Deadliest Conflict of the Modern Age," published by the University of Chicago Press.
The SMH Distinguished Book Award is highly prestigious and recognizes the best book-length publications that year in English on military history.
This marks the first time in OSU's history that a faculty member has won the award.
"Dr. Kinder's training as an interdisciplinary scholar of American Studies and History, along with his ability to write powerful prose, make this book so compelling and unique," said Dr. Richard Boles, chair of the Department of History. "We are fortunate to have him as a professor at OSU."
Kinder reflected on the journey that led to his success and what this accomplishment means for OSU. Book cover titled "World War Zoos" by John M. Kinder, featuring a blue‑toned historical image of a small monkey perched on a signpost with directional arrows to animal enclosures, overlaid with large white title text and silhouettes of military planes overhead.
"'World War Zoos' was very difficult to write, and from the beginning, I was concerned about how it would be received, especially by those who expect their World War II books to focus primarily on the battlefield," said Kinder, explaining his initial journey in his book-writing process. "You can only imagine my surprise, then, upon learning that it had received the top book award from the nation's largest organization of military history scholars."

OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY: PURPOSE-DRIVEN LEADERSHIP: MBA STUDENTS EARNING NATIONAL RECOGNITION
A pair of Oklahoma State University MBA students were selected for the highly competitive Mortimer J. Adler Fellowship, a national leadership program recognizing emerging business leaders from top institutions across the country.
Chosen as part of a cohort of just 45 fellows for 2026, Olumide Ale and Oladotun Solomon, both from Nigeria, will join peers from leading universities such as Cornell University, the University of Chicago, the University of Pennsylvania, Northwestern University and Duke University. Their selection highlights both their individual achievements and the growing national presence of the MBA program at the Spears School of Business.
Hosted at Florida Atlantic University in partnership with the Charles Koch Foundation and the Madden Center for Value Creation, the fellowship focuses on developing transformative business leaders. The program emphasizes three core pillars: character and purpose, value creation and integrated leadership, which encourages participants to align personal values with meaningful professional impact.
The fellowship experience is structured into three phases: a seven-day Spring Intensive in South Florida, a nine-week Summer Practice Lab, and a final reflective report. Throughout the program, fellows engage in rigorous discussions, hands-on learning and leadership development activities centered on using business as a force for long-term societal good.
"The program consistently pressed us to move beyond competence and ask deeper questions about purpose, character and how our leadership choices affect the flourishing of others," Ale said.
Ale and Solomon already attended the Spring Intensive phase and described it as an immersive experience centered on reflection, dialogue and character formation. Both students say they have already gained a deeper understanding of business leadership that they are actively applying throughout the program.

OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY: TURNING OPPORTUNITY INTO ACTION: KEVIN KUTEESAS MBA JOURNEY
Kevin Kuteesa has distinguished herself as an exceptional leader and changemaker by exemplifying what it means to pair purpose with action from the moment she joined the Oklahoma State University MBA program.
Raised in Uganda by her mother after her father's death, Kuteesa learned early on that access, not charity, has the power to transform lives. That belief continues to shape everything she does in the classroom and beyond.
Before coming to OSU, Kuteesa co-founded Prograte Capital Ventures after seeing how many hardworking women entrepreneurs were excluded from traditional banking systems. What started as a mission to provide microloans and financial education has grown into something much bigger. With support from the Spears School of Business and the Riata Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, she has helped evolve Prograte into a business-to-business software platform that supports financial institutions across East Africa.
"We aren't just helping one entrepreneur at a time - we are building the financial infrastructure necessary to scale credit access safely," Kuteesa said.
Her impact has not gone unnoticed. Kuteesa was selected as the Edward Jones Top Scholar out of more than 150 applicants, recognized for her achievements, compelling vision and commitment to uplifting her community. At the OSU Riata Business Plan Competition, her team earned second place in the social enterprise track, where she also received the Richard L. Tourtellotte Family Scholarship and the Best Elevator Pitch Award.
Most recently, she was named the 2026-27 Women for OSU Endowed Student Philanthropist of the Year. As part of this recognition, she will serve as a student speaker at the organization's upcoming Spring Symposium.
"I'm proud to be a part of a network of visionary leaders who understand that true philanthropy is about investing in people in ways that preserve their dignity and multiply their opportunities," Kuteesa said. "An investment in one student never stops at the campus edge; it creates a ripple effect, transforming communities both locally and globally."

OSU EXTENSION OFFERS FREE WORKSHOP TACKLING FOREVER CHEMICALS ISSUES
Oklahoma State University Extension is partnering with Trihydro to present a free, two-day workshop about forever chemicals, waste, water and wastewater, air and biosolids.
The 6th Annual PFAS and Emerging Contaminants Workshop Biosolids, Water and Wastewater, Air and Waste workshop is geared toward those who want to learn more about PFAS science and other emerging contaminants regulations, health effects, assessment, remediation, research and legal aspects, said Keima Borsuah, OSU Extension assistant state specialist with the Solid Waste Management Program. Professionals in wastewater, landfill, waste, environment, water, agriculture and other industries associated with PFAS are encouraged to attend.
"PFAS is officially known as Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance, but is more widely known as forever chemicals, which are substances that demonstrate high resistance to degradation," Borsuah said. "These chemicals are found in almost every home because they are used in various products, including stain-resistant carpeting, food packaging, waterproof clothing, non-stick cookware and even firefighting foam. They are used due to their intense durability and inability to break down easily."
These chemicals remain in the environment and have been associated with a variety of health concerns, including autoimmune disorders, low birth weight, reproductive problems, weakened childhood immunity, endocrine disruption and an increased risk of certain cancers.

OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY: CENTER FOR SOVEREIGN NATIONS HOSTS AMERICAN INDIAN AWARENESS WEEK
American Indian Awareness Week is a long-standing tradition for the Native American Student Association and the Center of Sovereign Nations at Oklahoma State University, but this year, it's much more than just awareness - it's a voice.
"It's a chance to advocate for ourselves, because we're not passive viewers of history; we're actively participating," said Jaden Waters, a CSN student leader.
The NASA and CSN will host events throughout the week, as well as a social media campaign, highlighting the importance of sovereignty among tribal nations in Oklahoma.
"We think it's important to educate people about tribal sovereignty because it's something you should know, especially if you're in Oklahoma," CSN Director Sky Rogers said. "Sovereignty is a big concept, though, and we find that it's easier to break it down into little bite-sized pieces so that the full picture of sovereignty starts coming together."
To some, this is a completely foreign idea, but for Native American students on campus, it's a way of life. Diving into the native culture in Oklahoma allows students to feel seen, heard and represented at the higher-education level.

The Mr. OSU pageant consisted of three rounds: interview questions, talent and formal attire.
The award for crowd favorite went to Oakley, while the first runner-up was awarded to Grubb.
Mobley's platform for the event centered on "invisible disabilities," which are impairments that might not be immediately obvious to others but impact the daily lives of those who have them.
Mobley himself has battled the effects of scoliosis from a young age. He shared his diagnosis in his talent portion, where he performed a spoken-word poem that he had written.

OSUIT AND OSU-OKC STUDENTS PUT SKILLS TO THE TEST AT HIGH VOLTAGE RODEO
Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology High Voltage students and OSU-Oklahoma City Line Technician students climbed high into the sky to test their skills during the annual High Voltage Rodeo.
The high voltage and line technician students, accompanied by their instructors, gathered just before 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 4, in the OSUIT campus poleyard. The sun was shining bright, but the air was cool and crisp. The competitors, dressed in rugged, well-worn jeans and long-sleeved hoodies, and wearing reinforced climbing boots, stood in the long shadows of dozens of 40-foot utility poles. Each student was ready to compete in the rodeo's three challenges: Hurtman Rescue, Crossarm Change and Speed Climb.
[High Voltage Rodeo] is a competitive environment for some of the basic skills that they learn in the class," said Darren Woodard, assistant dean of OSUIT's School of Engineering and Construction Technologies. "It takes those skills that they've learned in the classroom, and we put that into kind of a competitive event. It takes the education to the next level."
The rodeo's first competition was Hurtman Rescue, a timed event that simulates the rescue of an injured line worker at the top of a pole.
Crossarm Change was the next competition, simulating the replacement of a crossarm on a high-voltage pole. The competitor must climb the pole, remove the existing crossarm, lower it to the ground, raise it back to the top and reinstall the fasteners.
The final event, Speed Climb, required the competitors to carry a bag containing an egg to the top of the pole. Upon reaching the top, they had to take the egg out of their bag, hold it in their mouth, exchange the bag for one that had been hung at the top, and descend the pole without breaking the egg in their mouth.

ODU'S NEW AI TUTOR FOR QUANTUM COMPUTING EMPOWERS STUDENTS TO FIND THE ANSWERS THEMSELVES
Quantum computing is a challenging subject. However, students at Old Dominion University now have access to a unique artificial intelligence (AI) quantum computing tutor that helps them find answers independently, while keeping their professor informed of any areas where they might be struggling.
This innovative learning tool was supported by Old Dominion University's MonarchSphere Powered by Google Cloud, the nation's first AI incubator for higher education. Unlike traditional AI tools, it doesn't just provide quick answers. Instead, this specific quantum computing AI tutor facilitates continual learning.
Nikos Chrisochoides, Ph.D., Richard T. Cheng Endowed Chair and professor of computer science at Old Dominion University, developed the system with Iizalaarab "Izzy" Elhaimeur, a Ph.D. candidate in computer science from Hampton, Virginia.
Dr. Chrisochoides is testing the tool in one of his advanced quantum computing courses. Before students come to class, they use it to learn the material through a virtual lesson and a real-time chat feature. If a student has a question, the chat will guide them through finding the answer.
"If I were a student, I would be exhilarated, because then I'd have someone 24/7 to help me with almost everything that I need," said Dr. Chrisochoides.
He said the system includes "guardrails," which recognize where a student is with their coursework, keeping them from wandering into course concepts they are not ready for and redirecting them to the task they are working on. Source: Company Website

THREE-YEAR MD PATHWAY AIMS TO FAST-TRACK EMERGENCY PHYSICIANS
For decades, medical education has begun with a four-year medical degree. But as communities across the country face growing physician shortages, Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) at Old Dominion University is rethinking that model. A new pilot program - one of the first in the nation - will allow select students, committed to emergency medicine, to earn their MD in just three years, while preparing to serve patients in Hampton Roads.
Through the integration of EVMS into Old Dominion University, one of the main commitments was to address shortages of healthcare workers in the region, said Alfred Abuhamad, MD, executive vice president for health sciences at Old Dominion University.
"We are pursuing a range of initiatives to address the shortage," Dr. Abuhamad said. "On the medical school side, we're looking carefully at how we can shorten medical school from four years to three years."
For now, the accelerated MD program is only accessible to students planning for a career in emergency medicine. If it proves successful, it could expand to other EVMS specialties and be an important way to help address physician shortages - providing patients with more quality providers.
"I think it's a great opportunity for students with a strong interest in emergency medicine early in their medical school career," said Barry Knapp, MD, chair and professor of emergency medicine and chief architect of the pilot program. "Moving forward, it will allow students to save a full year of medical school tuition, to enter residency early and to enter the workforce early." Source: Company Website

'PURDUE PURSUITS': 'TAKING CONTROL OF MY DIABETES'
Living with diabetes became Phillip Fiorini's reality on Christmas Eve 2021.
It's news nobody is truly prepared to hear, especially Fiorini, who became a Type 2 diabetic without a prior prediabetes diagnosis. But he refused to sit back and let the chronic disease govern the trajectory of his life, choosing instead to take a proactive approach in managing its effects on his body.
"Most people think it's kind of a fait accompli - 'I have diabetes; looks like I'm going to die at 57,'" says Fiorini, lead writer for executive communications in Purdue Brand Studio's Office of Communications. "But there are ways to control it through diet and through learning a little bit more about how your body functions. And I think if you can understand the illness, then you can understand how to manage it."
Just one month after his diagnosis, Fiorini began meeting with Megan Shidler, a dietitian at Purdue's Center for Healthy Living (CHL). Her wide-ranging knowledge and personalized guidance laid the groundwork for Fiorini's care plan, and together they mapped out his next steps, which included switching to a low-carb diet, exercising more and enrolling in the CHL's "Taking Control of My Diabetes" program.
Led by Shidler and CHL registered nurse health coach Cheryl Laszynski, "Taking Control of My Diabetes" is a nine-week virtual lifestyle management course designed for those living with Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes or supporting someone with a diagnosis. Through presentations, open discussions and workbook lessons, the program helps participants better understand the intricacies of the disease while reinforcing healthy nutrition and wellness habits that aid in managing blood glucose.
For Fiorini, the program added solid structure to the foundation of knowledge he had already gained from his monthly meetings with Shidler.
It clarified complex concepts, like what happens in one's body when it struggles to get rid of sugar, how medicine helps control blood glucose levels and why some carbs are healthier than others. And it offered him an in-depth, comprehensive look at the whole puzzle that is Type 2 diabetes, making it easier to understand how his own unique piece fits into it.

TRUSTEES APPROVE PURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL PROPERTY TO ENHANCE PURDUE STUDENTS' URBAN EXPERIENCE IN DOWNTOWN INDIANAPOLIS
The Purdue University Board of Trustees on Friday (April 10) approved the purchase of property at 420-422 W. Michigan St. and 510 Indiana Ave. in downtown Indianapolis as part of the university's efforts to enhance students' urban experience.
Purdue plans to buy the 0.24-acre property, which includes a three-story building, from OZ Business Property II LLC. Originally constructed in 1846 and the former home of Second Baptist Church, the building was expanded with a portion converted to a residence in 1975. Most recently, it served as commercial office space.
The acquisition is valued at $4 million and will be funded by Operating Funds - Reserves.
The property provides flexible space for near-term use and includes parcels adjacent to land already owned by Purdue. It is also located next to the Student Center and across from 401 W. Michigan St., which were both previously acquired by the university.
Over the past year, Purdue has added several properties bordering the Indianapolis location and along the West Street corridor to continue building out Purdue's expansion in the capital city:
The facility at 518-520 Indiana Ave., acquired in February 2025, has been launched as the Student Center, a social hub for Purdue students in Indianapolis to study and gather, along with space for the library, a writing lab and student success support services. In October 2025, trustees approved the purchase of Canal Square Apartments, 359 N. West St., and the planned transfer of the property at 501 Indiana Ave. from the Purdue Research Foundation.

The Purdue University Board of Trustees on Friday (April 10) endorsed the merit increase for fiscal year 2026-27 for the main campus, which includes a 2% recurring increase, plus a 0.5% nonrecurring amount for recognition and retention of exceptional employees.
The projection for Purdue's total compensation increase for FY27 is 4% to 4.5%, well ahead of the 3% comparative estimate among local employers and higher education peers. The nation's inflation rate in February stood at an annualized 2.4%.
Except for the pandemic year of 2020-21, Purdue has offered a merit increase every year since 2010. In November 2020 more than 15,000 employees also received a one-time appreciation award of $750. The university's average total compensation increase over the past five years is 26%, averaging more than 5% per year.
Meanwhile, Purdue staff recruitment metrics show an acceptance rate exceeding its target and staff turnover at multiyear lows.
Merit increases will take effect July 1, which is the beginning of the university's fiscal year.

About the book (from the publisher)
"Birck Builds the Future: Celebrating Twenty Years at Purdue University, 2005-2025" commemorates the vision, innovation and enduring impact of the Birck Nanotechnology Center. This richly detailed volume traces Birck's journey from a bold idea - sparked by the urgent need for state-of-the-art facilities to support cutting-edge nanoscale research - to its emergence as a global leader in semiconductors and quantum research. The book highlights the center's founding under Purdue's then-president Martin Jischke and its role as the anchor of Discovery Park, a hub designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration across the fields of engineering, science, pharmacy and agriculture. Featuring contributions from early visionaries, faculty, staff and students, the narrative blends personal reflections, historical milestones and technological breakthroughs. It also chronicles the tenures of Birck's five directors - Jim Cooper, Richard Schwartz, Tim Sands, Ali Shakouri and Zhihong Chen - capturing how each leader shaped the center's evolution. Replete with vivid photographs and architectural insights, the book celebrates two decades of transformative research, education and industry partnership. As Birck enters its third decade - propelled by a $100 million renovation supported by the Purdue Board of Trustees, Purdue President Mung Chiang, Lilly Endowment Inc. and CHIPS Act funding - it stands as a cornerstone of the university's innovation ecosystem, preparing the next generation of researchers and shaping the future of nanotechnology.

PUSAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY: HOMOEPITAXY-LIKE HETEROEPITAXY VIA MONOLAYER INTERFACE ACHIEVES GRAIN-BOUNDARY-FREE ULTRAFLAT SILVER THIN FILMS
Wafer-scale growth of metallic films into single crystals is challenging due to large lattice mismatches and uncontrollable atomic stacking during deposition. Here, single-crystalline Ag(111) films are grown on atomically flat Cu(111) buffer layers using atomic sputtering epitaxy, despite the significant Ag/Cu lattice mismatch (about 13%). The mismatch strain is confined to the first Ag monoatomic interface layer and does not spread into the adjacent Ag layers. This effective strain relaxation occurs through regulated in-plane displacements of Ag atoms where Ag and Cu atoms meet periodically. Although the grain-boundary-free Ag thin films initially exhibited twin boundaries, we successfully demonstrated conditions that significantly reduced them-a feat considered challenging in thin film growth technology. The resulting films have inherently flat surfaces with occasional monoatomic steps, making them ideal for use as reflectors and plasmonic devices.

RWTH AACHEN UNIVERSITY: OUR MUSICAL GROUPS ARE ONCE AGAIN REHEARSING IN AUDITORIUM 2
Now that they're back in their usual rehearsal space on Halifaxstrasse, a brand new chapter is beginning for the Wind Philharmonic Orchester. Wind Philharmonic Orchestra in Auditorium 2 Judith Peschges The musical groups of RWTH Aachen University are once again rehearsing in Auditorium 2 at the Computer Science Center on Halifaxstrasse.
A timpani, a trumpet, and several percussion instruments are already set up in Auditorium 2 of the Computer Science Center. Everything is ready for the Wind Philharmonic Orchestra's first rehearsal in the large, light-filled hall with its high ceilings and excellent acoustics. Lars Corijn is already looking forward to it. He is a trained conductor and he has been making the 1.5-hour drive from Antwerp every week for the past two years to conduct the orchestra at RWTH Aachen University.
Now that they have returned to their usual rehearsal space on Halifaxstrasse, a new chapter has begun for the Wind Philharmonic Orchestra: After five years in temporary quarters, the ensemble is once again rehearsing in its musical home now that it has finished being renovated. Around 500 students are involved in the musical ensembles at RWTH, and 75 to 85 of them are in the Wind Philharmonic Orchestra. Together, they perform up to 15 concerts per semester and they entertain more than 12,000 visitors annually. Membership is open to everyone-regardless of their university affiliation.
"We always have professional musicians as conductors," explains Clemens Baumeister, co-founder and long-time board member of the Wind Philharmonic Orchester. The civil engineer founded the association in 2014 together with two doctoral candidates and he remains closely associated with it to this day. By returning to Auditorium 2, the musicians are continuing a tradition that spans more than 25 years. It is here where all our orchestras have prepared for their concerts in the past.
The other ensembles are now also gradually returning to Auditorium 2, including the Aachen Student Orchestra, the Collegium Musicum choir and orchestra, the Floodlight Musicals ensemble, the Aachen Philharmonic Orchestra, the Aachen Baroque Orchestra, the Big Band, the Salon Orchestra, and several project choirs. Along with them, the wide range of equipment is also returning to its old home: instruments, music stands, and sheet music that previously had to be transported between several rehearsal locations.

Scientists report that a living reef coastal defense system can reduce wave power significantly, suggesting the approach could offer a new way to protect shorelines from storms and rising seas. An underwater reef forms a horseshoe, protecting a beach. View of a small, curved reef built from shell bags and mini modules. Made with recycled oyster shells, the structure is already attracting oysters, mussels and barnacles, and will continue to grow over time. Jenny Shinn Download High-Res
Their findings, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by an international team that included nine Rutgers University researchers, provide one of the most detailed tests to date of whether a hybrid reef system combining living organisms with artificial structures can function as coastal protection infrastructure.

RUTGERS STATE UNIVERSITY: AS A DEATH DOULA, RUTGERS GRADUATE STUDENT BRINGS PEACE TO END-OF-LIFE CARE
Griebell, 57, who is graduating in May from Rutgers-New Brunswick School of Social Work with a master's degree in social work and certification in aging and health, has been providing end-of-life care as a certified death doula since 2020.
Much like a birth doula - a non-medical professional who offers physical and emotional support to an expectant parent before, during, and shortly after childbirth - a death doula provides that level of care for a person and their family as the end of their life approaches.
The goal, said Griebell, who founded Tranquil Transitioning in 2021, is to help a person achieve "a good death," by creating the environment they and their loved ones need to be at peace when their time comes. But while birth doulas have become more commonplace in recent years, hers is a role few are familiar with. That's because of the stigma surrounding death in our society, said Griebell.

When Michelle Estrada enrolled at San Diego State University in 2022, she wanted the full college experience like she would see on TV growing up in Tijuana.
But there was one obstacle for the Chula Vista resident: her commute. Estrada would wake up at 6 a.m. to take the trolley to get to SDSU by 8 a.m. and immediately leave after her last class at 1 p.m., when her mother picked her up and then her younger brother from elementary school in Chula Vista.
Fortunately, Estrada attended an event at the SDSU Center for Commuter Life early in her first year that changed her life.
Today, she is involved in three on-campus clubs and preparing to mentor the next generation of commuter students. She credits the center for making it possible.
"Commuter Life became a home away from home for me, and I would go almost every single day, and from there it connected me to a lot of opportunities to get involved on campus," said Estrada, who majors in criminal justice and minors in interdisciplinary studies and political science.

The youth area was housed in the campuses We Care Clinic where children received mental health resources as well.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY: LIGHT-CONTROLLED BETA BLOCKERS SHOW PROMISE FOR BETTER MEDICINES
Beta blockers bind to protein receptors that are key to fight-or-flight responses, leading to effects such as lowered heart rate and blood pressure. Using X-ray free-electron lasers at SLAC and in Switzerland, an international team of researchers investigated a beta blocker modified with a light-sensitive bond. They controlled the drug's interaction using light and reconstructed X-ray images of the reaction, demonstrating how light could be used to improve medications.
Researchers are illuminating a new route for drug delivery - literally, by controlling drugs with light. Recently, an international team led by the Swiss Paul Scherrer Institute and including researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory used light to control a modified beta blocker and took X-ray laser snapshots of its interaction with a protein receptor.
Not only did the team demonstrate they could control the beta blocker medicine with light, but they also captured 3D images of the interaction at multiple time points. The images revealed that light can switch the beta blocker between different positions on the receptor, which suggests it may be possible to fine-tune the drug's potency while it's in the body. The findings, published in the journal Angewandte Chemie, also demonstrate how X-ray lasers like the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) can be harnessed to study medicines at the atomic level. This can aid the design of drugs that precisely target protein receptors and therefore have fewer side effects.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY: FROM POLICY LAB TO PROPOSED FEDERAL LEGISLATION
Stanford Law School students don't just study the law. Sometimes they help draft it.
One recent example reached a major milestone in March 2026 when Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen and Republican Senator Bill Cassidy introduced the bipartisan Foreign Anti-SLAPP Act. The bill, if enacted, would create a mechanism to curb efforts by foreign authoritarian governments and their proxies (such as state-owned companies) to use American courts to harass or silence critics. The legislation reflects a proposal developed through a 2023-24 Law and Policy Lab at Stanford Law School, in collaboration with Senator Shaheen's staff.
"We wanted to address a serious gap in U.S. law," says Professor Diego Zambrano, faculty director of the Neukom Center for the Rule of Law and the instructor for the Law and Policy Lab course. Zambrano explored the issue of foreign authoritarian regimes exploiting U.S. civil litigation in a 2022 article titled "Foreign Dictators in U.S. Court." He has also testified before Congress on the issue.
In one case Zambrano has highlighted, a Chinese dissident who fled to the United States was allegedly targeted through a lawsuit brought by a Chinese state-owned company in California. He has also pointed to Turkiye's efforts to go after cleric Fethullah Gulen in Pennsylvania through ostensibly private plaintiffs backed by government lawyers.
"Authoritarian governments and their proxies can file meritless lawsuits in American courts, not necessarily because they expect to win, but because the process itself can punish journalists, dissidents, and critics," Zambrano says. "The goal of the project was to think carefully about how Congress might stop that abuse without cutting off legitimate claims."

STANFORD UNIVERSITY: RESEARCHERS USE ULTRASOUND TO CREATE LIGHT INSIDE THE BODY
Light can be used for various medical treatments and procedures, including to control cell growth, manipulate neural signals, and for cancer treatment. So, researchers are developing a noninvasive technique to deliver light within the body. They created light-emitting nanoparticles that are injected into the bloodstream to reach targeted tissues, where they remain inactive until stimulated by focused ultrasound waves. As a test, the researchers used the nanoparticles to activate neurons in a mouse's brain, resulting in controllable behavioral changes. Ongoing studies aim to ensure the safety of these nanomaterials for human use and explore the possibility of different applications such as gene editing, photodynamic cancer therapy, and UV-based disease treatment.
Light has an increasing number of applications in biology and medicine - it can be used to stimulate cell growth, manipulate neural signals, and treat some cancers - but it doesn't easily pass through tissue. Most methods to bring light deep within the body are invasive, requiring either tissue to be removed or an optical fiber to be inserted.
Researchers at Stanford have created a noninvasive way to deliver light to specific locations anywhere in the body. Their work, published April 13 in Nature Materials, uses nanomaterials distributed through the bloodstream to turn ultrasound waves into precise points of light. The technique provides a potential roadmap for easier, less invasive light-based treatments.
"Ultrasound is very convenient to use, and it penetrates much deeper into the body than light," said Guosong Hong, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering in the School of Engineering, faculty scholar at the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute, and senior author on the paper. "With these materials, we can produce light emission in the brain, in the gut, in the spinal cord, in the muscle - virtually anywhere - without needing a physical implant."

"Technologies reproduce the inequalities of the society in which they're created," she said in an interview. For Desai, executive director of Stony Brook's Center for Changing Systems of Power and Empowerment Trust Endowed Professor of Global Citizenship, AI is simply the newest arena where old hierarchies - gendered, racial, colonial and economic - are being rewritten into code.
This long-standing critical lens is at the heart of the $300,000 grant on The Practice of Democracy and Academic Freedom, which Desai recently received alongside Michael Rubenstein (professor, the Humanities Institute, College of Arts and Sciences), Abena Asare (associate professor, Africana Studies, CAS), and Robert Chase (associate professor, Department of History, CAS). The grant, which supports research on historical and cultural sources of contemporary developments, will support a multi-year project at Stony Brook, beginning with a symposium.
Through the grant, rather than focusing only on AI and the future of learning, as many initiatives do, Desai and her collaborators will focus on how AI practices shape the practice of democracy and academic freedom at institutions.
The first year of the grant will be a planning year, involving inviting speakers, designing workshops and building space for faculty, staff and students to think together. The project will also support hands-on workshops on AI in classrooms, administration, and scholarship.

STONY BROOK CS RESEARCHERS TO PRESENT SEVEN PAPERS AT CHI 2026, SHOWCASING ADVANCES IN AI, ACCESSIBILITY AND INTERACTION DESIGN
Stony Brook University's Department of Computer Science will be prominently represented at the ACM CHI 2026 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, with seven accepted papers spanning accessibility, human-AI interaction and novel interaction techniques.
From improving how blind users access information and complete hands-on tasks to examining how AI systems shape trust and authorship, these projects reflect a growing focus on designing technologies that are not only more capable but also more usable, reliable and human-centered.
Advancing Accessibility and Human-AI Interaction
Several of the accepted papers focus on how blind and low-vision users interact with digital systems and emerging AI tools - surfacing both the promise and current limitations of these technologies in real-world use.
In "Finding the Signal in the Noise: An Exploratory Study on Assessing the Effectiveness of AI and Accessibility Forums for Blind Users' Support Needs," first author Satwik Ram Kodandaram, alongside Jiawei Zhou, Xiaojun Bi, I.V. Ramakrishnan and Vikas Ashok, examines how blind users seek help through accessibility forums and generative AI tools. Through interviews with blind participants, the study finds that forums, while essential, are often fragmented and cognitively demanding to navigate, while AI tools can produce verbose, inconsistent or unreliable guidance. The paper outlines design opportunities to better surface trustworthy, high-quality support.

A sweeping jazz journey from Africa to America will be the next performance at The Jazz Loft @ Southampton Concert Series on Thursday, April 23, at The Avram at Stony Brook Southampton.
Afro/American Sketches - originally titled by celebrated performer, composer, bandleader and Jazz legend Oliver Nelson - will be performed by renowned flutist and educator Oliver Nelson, Jr., son of the composer and adjunct lecturer from Indiana University Bloomington, alongside Stony Brook University Professor Thomas Manuel and The Jazz Loft Studio Orchestra.
Telling the story of struggle, resilience and hope that resonates across generations, Afro/American Sketches presents Oliver Nelson's landmark and historic 1961 composition. This musical narrative, one of jazz's most ambitious and meaningful large-ensemble works, traces the African American experience through history, memory and aspiration.
Inspired by Nelson's study of the musical traditions of nearly 200 African tribes, this seven-movement works to unfold as a deeply expressive journey. Beginning on the African continent, the suite moves through the trauma of enslavement, moments of rediscovered freedom, and the enduring pain of social oppression, before ultimately looking forward with optimism toward a future grounded in equality and justice.

EUROPEAN FUNDING FOR DRESDEN RESEARCH INTO METABOLOMICS AND IMMUNOTHERAPY
The international research project METRICs, coordinated by Dr. Mohamed Elgendy, Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the TUD Faculty of Medicine, has been awarded around EUR 2 million as part of the European funding program ERA-NET Transcan. METRICs is the largest project funded to date under this program since its launch in 2011. The funds will support a consortium of seven partner institutions on three continents that is developing new strategies to improve combined immunotherapy and radiotherapy.
The project focuses on investigating metabolic processes and the microbiome in cancer patients. Researchers hypothesize that tumor metabolic profiles, body metabolism, and intestinal microbiota composition are crucial for predicting how patients will respond to combined immunotherapy and radiotherapy. These factors could potentially serve as predictive biomarkers in the future, opening up new therapeutic approaches.
Preliminary findings suggest that the composition of the intestinal microbiota and lower indole production, a byproduct of intestinal bacteria, are associated with a better response to therapy. In preclinical models, combining CAR-T cell therapy with targeted microbiome modulation led to improved tumor control and prolonged survival.

TU DRESDENHOW SURFACES GROW: RESEARCH TEAM FROM THE CLUSTER OF EXCELLENCE CTD.QMAT DEMONSTRATES UNIVERSAL 2D GROWTH
Crystals, bacterial colonies, flame fronts: the growth of surfaces was first described in the 1980s by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation. Since then, it has been regarded as a fundamental model in physics, with implications for mathematics, biology, and computer science. Now-forty years later-a Wurzburg-based research team from the Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat has achieved the first experimental demonstration of KPZ behavior on 2D surfaces in space and time. This was made possible by sophisticated materials engineering and a bold experimental approach: researchers injected polaritons-hybrid particles composed of light and matter-into the material. The results have been published in Science.
Forty Years of Universality in Growth The question of how surfaces grow is one of the most fundamental problems in physics. In 1986, three physicists laid the foundation for a universal theory of growth with the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation-a framework with wide-ranging applications across physics, mathematics, biology, and computer science. From the dynamics of crystal formation and mathematical system analysis to the growth of cells, populations, and flame fronts-and even the development of machine-learning algorithms-the KPZ universality class applies wherever growth processes are modeled.

TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF MUNICH: MAJOR HYDROGEN STORAGE POTENTIAL IN BAVARIA
Geological formations in southern Bavaria offer a previously underestimated potential for storing large quantities of hydrogen. They could therefore be an alternative to salt caverns in northern Germany and thus contribute to a better geographical distribution of storage capacities. This is the conclusion of a study conducted by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in cooperation with the Technical University of Leoben (MUL) on behalf of the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs. With local hydrogen storage facilities, industry can become cleaner, as is the case here in the Chemical Triangle of southeastern Bavaria. iStockphoto.com / Dirschl With local hydrogen storage facilities, industry can become cleaner, as is the case here in the Chemical Triangle of southeastern Bavaria.
To make effective and sustainable use of renewable energy, it must be possible to store the energy generated. A key approach is conversion into hydrogen, which must then be stored in large volumes and made available in line with seasonal demand. Geological storage in suitable subsurface locations is particularly well suited to this purpose and can play a key role in the energy transition. The SpeicherCHeck study aims to find out whether there are potential geological formations in Bavaria that are suitable for safe storage. The focus is on former oil and gas reservoirs as well as active natural gas pore storage facilities. The interim report of the project, which runs until 2027, has now been published and presents initial findings.
According to the report, the existing natural gas pore storage facilities in the foothills of the Alps in Bavaria - such as those in Bierwang and Inzenham - are particularly well suited. Natural gas pore storage facilities are underground storage sites in natural, porous rock formations that have previously been used to store surplus natural gas and feed it back into the grid when needed. As a result, most of the required infrastructure is already in place at these locations. The researchers estimate the current storage potential across all sites examined to be between 12.6 and 25.2 terawatt hours (TWh). By comparison, the German National Hydrogen Council estimates the storage capacity of salt caverns in northern Germany at 33 TWh.

THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY: ADOPTING, ADVANCING AND ADAPTING TO AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a nearly ubiquitous aspect of modern life. People interact with AI on a daily basis through autocorrect and predictive text, phone-unlocking facial recognition, the algorithms driving social media feeds and traffic predictions in navigation apps. It's already hard to imagine life without these modern conveniences. More broadly, AI is changing the job market in unpredictable ways, which presents opportunities and challenges for institutions of higher education.
Science fiction writers and Hollywood have provided the blueprint for the future of humanity and its workforce. On one end of the spectrum, it imagines a utopian lifestyle where AI does all the work and humans have space for creativity and leisure as in the Disney/Pixar movie "Wall-E." On the other, perhaps a self-aware AI that dominates the world at severe cost to humans as in James Cameron's "Terminator" movies. The reality may be neither of these extremes, and universities like Penn State are finding ways to prepare students for as-yet unknowable future careers, and Penn State faculty are transforming how they approach research.
In the Eberly College of Science, researchers are leveraging AI to manage massive datasets, identify patterns in complex images, evaluate tools to improve human health, test the properties of newly developed materials and a myriad of other applications. Instructors are finding innovative ways to incorporate AI into their classrooms to support student learning and to equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in an AI-driven workforce. But what is artificial intelligence, and are people really talking about the same thing when they say AI?

THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY: PRENATAL OPIOID EXPOSURE IN BABIES DOESNT PREDICT FUTURE CLASSROOM PERFORMANCE
Every 25 minutes in the United States, a baby is diagnosed with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), a condition that occurs in newborns who have been exposed to opioids in the womb and develop withdrawal after birth, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Historically, research has focused on the impact of NAS - also known as neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome - on the health and development of young children, which has found that prenatal opioid exposure is associated with increased risk for adverse developmental, cognitive and behavioral outcomes in early childhood.
However, opioid exposure may play a minimal role in neurodevelopmental outcomes by the time the babies with NAS reach the classroom, according to a new study led by researchers at Penn State College of Medicine. They compared school-aged children with and without a history of NAS and found that the two groups performed similarly on standardized tests when socioeconomic and environmental factors were taken into account. The findings suggest that external factors like school quality, economic status, race and the mother's education level have a greater influence on academic outcomes. The study was published in the journal The Lancet Regional Health - Americas.
"Historically, we've been quick to blame prenatal opioid exposure for poor academic achievement, but it appears that socio-environmental factors play a much larger role," said Tammy Corr, associate professor of pediatrics at Penn State College of Medicine and corresponding author on the study. "There's every reason to believe that these children can do well and thrive when given the right resources."

The Society of American Baseball Research (SABR) has recognized a research article by Penn State University Libraries Distinguished Librarian Tom Reinsfelder with a 2026 McFarland-SABR Baseball Research Award.
The annual award, granted to three authors in 2026, honors the best articles on baseball history or biography completed or published during the preceding calendar year. Recipients are three individuals, groups or groups of individuals whose research projects have greatly expanded the knowledge of baseball.
Reinsfelder's article, "Some of the Least Explored Resources: Dissertations and Theses on the Subject of Baseball (1908-2024)," was published in the fall 2025 edition of Baseball Research Journal. A metastudy, the article reviewed dissertations, graduate and undergraduate theses and related research published between 1908 and 2024 and representing nearly 300 colleges and universities.
"Most of this body of research is available online or through libraries, yet much of it remains difficult to discover," Reinsfelder said. "I believe this project and bibliography will interest both casual fans as well as students and researchers looking to further our collective knowledge of the sport."
An appendix linked in Reinfelder's published article contains a full bibliography of the 864 scholarly works identified and sorted by topic, most with online links.
The analysis highlights the vast interdisciplinary nature of the sport, Reinfelder said. Baseball can be studied from a remarkable range of academic fields, from kinesiology, history and business to strategy, music, psychology and architecture/stadium design.

THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY: PLANT SCIENTISTS RECEIVE $1.96M NIH GRANT TO STUDY PLANT-BACTERIA PARTNERSHIPS
A team of plant scientists in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences has received a $1.96 million, five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to fund a study of how beneficial plant-bacteria partnerships evolve, persist, and can be harnessed to improve health and agriculture.
This grant, called a Maximizing Investigator's Research Award, supports a lab's long-term research vision rather than an individual project.
"Most research focuses on harmful microbes known as pathogens, but this team studies mutualisms - relationships in which both partners benefit," said team leader Liana Burghardt, an assistant professor in the Department of Plant Science and the director of the Huck Center for Root and Rhizosphere Biology.
Her laboratory group studies a well-known plant-bacteria partnership involving a plant called Medicago truncatula with the bacteria Sinorhizobium meliloti. The plant, commonly called barrel medic, is a small, annual, clover-like legume native to the Mediterranean region. It is widely used as a model organism for legume biology, a nutrient conversion process called nitrogen fixation and the study of symbiotic partnerships. It is also closely related to the forage crop alfalfa.
According to Burghardt, the mutually beneficial relationship works like this: Bacteria in the soil infect plant roots. The plant forms nodules - tiny structures - on the roots. Inside those nodules, bacteria convert the atmospheric nitrogen into usable nutrients for the plant, and the plant provides the bacteria with sugars for food. In other words, she noted, the plant gets nutrients and the bacteria get energy and a place to live.
"Similar to many environmental pathogens, these beneficial partners can live independently, and they re-form their relationship every generation," Burghardt said. "Bacteria spend much of their time in soil, not inside plants. This creates a complex situation where bacteria must survive in soil, compete to infect plants and adapt to different plant hosts."

A new study, however, has revealed that the reality of dimming stars is likely a benefit for the prospects for life on orbiting planets around these stars, not a threat.
A paper describing the study was published April 13 in the Astrophysical Journal.
The research team, which was led by Penn State scientists, used NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to find that stars still in their astronomical infancy are calming down and dimming in their X-ray output more quickly than previously thought. Astronomers use Chandra and other telescopes to monitor how powerful radiation from young stars - often in the form of high-powered X-rays - can pummel planets surrounding them. They did not know, however, how long this high-energy barrage continued. The new study looked at eight clusters of stars that are considered young in astronomical terms, between the ages of 45 million and 750 million years old. In these clusters, stars similar in size to the sun unleashed only about a quarter to a third of the X-rays they expected.
"While science fiction - like the microbes in 'Project Hail Mary' - imagines alien life that dims stellar output by consuming its energy, our real observations reveal a natural quieting of young sun-like stars in X-rays," said Konstantin Getman, research professor of astronomy and astrophysics in the Penn State Eberly College of Science and lead author of the new study. "This is not because an outside force is consuming their light, but because their internal generation of magnetic fields becomes less efficient."

THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH SWELLING AFTER BRAIN BLEED LINKED TO WORSE OUTCOMES
Patients who experience an increase in brain swelling in the first 24 hours following a bleed, or brain haemorrhage, are more likely to have worse outcomes than those who don't, researchers found.
A similar risk was identified among those who experienced worsening swelling within 72 hours of diagnosis.
Early intervention to prevent swelling could potentially limit the severity of brain damage, leading to better recovery after stroke, experts say.
Brain bleed
Strokes occur when blood flow to part of the brain is either blocked by a clot or disrupted following a bleed, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. Around 15 per cent of strokes are due to bleeding in the brain, known as a haemorrhagic stroke.
Swelling after a haemorrhagic stroke can increase pressure inside the skull, causing further harm to the brain. There are currently no treatments to reduce brain swelling.

The amount adds to the total the club has raised for the charity in recent years, which now exceeds EUR250,000.
This year's Daffodil Day campaign was launched at an event in the UCD Bowl on 25 February, with Irish and Leinster Rugby players including Hugo Keenan, James Ryan and Josh van der Flier in attendance.
The official UCD RFC Daffodil Day took place on 5 March, and was supported by a series of on-campus and online events.
These included a pub quiz and a darts tournament in the UCD Clubhouse. Volunteers were also positioned across campus to take donations from passers-by.
Further fundraising events took place in the weeks that followed, including the Daffodil Day Ladies' Luncheon at UCD's Astra Hall, which contributed half of the total money raised.
In addition, the club held an online raffle, which students could enter to win signed rugby jerseys from the British & Irish Lions and South Africa teams.
Proceeds from a UCD vs. Clontarf Rugby match also contributed to the fundraiser.

UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA AT BIRMINGHAM NIGHTTIME WOES? HOW SPRING ALLERGIES MAY BE IMPACTING SLEEP QUALITY
Allergies can be a frustrating aspect of the spring season. Allergies affect daily life, but they can also significantly affect sleep. In fact, those with allergies are typically more likely to suffer from sleep issues. Allergies can make it harder to wake up and can cause symptoms such as headaches, facial pain and pressure.
The University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Otolaryngology professor Edwyn Boyd, M.D., says airborne allergens like pollen, mold and dust mite proteins can trigger an immune response that releases histamine and cytokines, creating inflammation that drains energy and leads to persistent fatigue.
"This inflammation disrupts normal energy production and can interfere with mood, alertness and sleep," Boyd said.
Dust mites are not airborne, as they are housed in mattresses, pillows, blankets, carpet, drapes and upholstery. However, the proteins in their feces and exoskeletons can become airborne when disturbed by cleaning or moving furniture.

UNIVERSITY OF ALMERIA: STUDY SHOWS THAT SHAKING HANDS OR GETTING UP FROM A CHAIR HELPS EARLY DETECTION OF DISEASE
Muscle strength has been considered a key health indicator for years. In fact, numerous studies have shown earlier that higher levels of strength are associated with lower mortality. However, until now the evidence was more limited as to whether it could also predict the risk of developing diseases throughout life. An international team of researchers has worked on it and has determined that simple tests such as shaking hands or getting up and sitting in a chair five times can offer valuable information about a person's future health. Their study has recently been published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, one of the most prestigious international journals in the field of sports medicine and public health.
The first authors of the work are Nuria Marin Jimenez, Juan de la Cierva researcher at the University of Almeria, and Bruno Bizzozero-Peroni, from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. The title of the article is 'Clinical importance of simple muscular fitness tests to predict long-term health conditions: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 94 cohort studies'. A number of specialists from various universities and research centers in Europe, the Americas and Oceania have participated, including in the list reference institutions such as the University of Ottawa and the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute, Canada, the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland, the Adelaide University, Australia, and the Spanish universities of Granada and Castilla-La Mancha.

GAMIFICATION IMPROVES LEARNING ABOUT SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH IN NURSING, ACCORDING TO A UAL STUDY
A team of researchers from the Department of Nursing, Physiotherapy and Medicine of the University of Almeria and the Andalusian Health Service has shown that gamification can significantly improve the sexual and reproductive health training of nursing students. This is Miguel Rodriguez, Jessica Garcia, Inmaculada Lara, Maria del Carmen Rodriguez, Margarita Lirola and Veronica V. Marquez, authors of the article 'Gamification and sexual and reproductive health nursing in students: a quasi-experimental study', recently published in the journal 'Teaching and Learning in Nursing'. It can be found at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1557308726000144.
The use of game dynamics in learning has been applied in a population of 127 second-year students of the Degree in Nursing of the UAL. More in detail, during the subject, part of the students used a mobile application to improve the acquisition and retention of knowledge, based on the theory of self-determination. The dynamics of the game consisted of organizing the participants into two teams competing to accumulate points guessing concepts throughout three progressive phases. Those who used this methodology performed better in knowledge and showed higher levels of motivation and involvement in their learning, compared to those who followed a traditional teaching.
Thus, according to the researchers, gamification favors a more active and participatory learning, which facilitates the understanding and retention of complex content. Therefore, the results suggest that such innovative strategies can become a useful tool to improve the training of future nursing professionals. It is based on the fact that sexual and reproductive health is a key part of the training of health professionals, but transmitting these contents effectively can be complicated when only traditional teaching methods are used.
In that line, in recent years, innovative educational methodologies have gained prominence in the university. Among them, gamification stands out, which introduces game elements in the learning process to make it more dynamic and motivating. From that idea, the UAL research team considered analyzing whether the use of a gamified tool in the classroom could improve the learning of nursing students in this area, as well as increase their motivation and participation. Once the results are seen, they believe that they can have a major impact on how to teach future professionals.

UNIVERSITY OF AUCKLAND: DAWN FRESHWATER REFLECTS ON SIX YEARS AS VICE-CHANCELLOR
When I arrived at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland, I was full of enthusiasm, intention and ambition.
It quickly became clear, however, that I had arrived at a particularly complex moment in the life of the University. I had only met a small number of colleagues face to face before the pandemic changed how we worked, taught and connected. It was not quite the beginning I had imagined and, as I have said before, I might have packed more had I known what lay ahead.
Yet what followed revealed something important about this university and its people. There was a shared sense of purpose and a remarkable collective effort to keep things moving. That experience showed us what we were capable of and set the tone for everything that followed. It shaped how we worked together and what we achieved together as a University community.
It also gave us a clearer sense of where we were heading next. This was reflected in the development of Taumata Teitei: Vision 2030 and Strategic Plan 2028, drawing on the ideas and contributions of staff and students across the University. At its core is a commitment to pursuing excellence, even in the face of uncertainty. It has brought a stronger focus on sustainability, the value of our work and ensuring that what we do remains relevant to the communities we serve.
You can see this in the strength of the University today. Our research continues to grow in quality and impact, supported by greater collaboration and a focus on areas where we can make a meaningful difference. We have reinforced our position as a leading university, both in Aotearoa New Zealand and internationally.

UNIVERSITY OF AUCKLAND: BETTER BRACES FOR KIDS WITH CEREBRAL PALSY
Many children with cerebral palsy need ankle braces to help them move. But when that brace is too stiff and painful for active play, some refuse to wear it. Sara Chami is working to fix that. Sara wears chunky VR glasses in the rehab gym with a computer screen with a scan of the foot Virtual reality glasses help Sara Chami check the quality of the scan on a child's foot on the laptop screen in real time.
Working as a clinical orthotist in Tehran, Sara Chami designed and fitted ankle-foot support braces for children with cerebral palsy. It was rewarding work, but she kept hearing the same frustrating story from parents.
"Families would come in holding their brace and say, 'This is a rigid plastic boot. When my kid wants to run or play with friends he won't wear it. It gives him blisters and we can't find shoes that fit'.
"It was overwhelming, because as a clinician you want to help, and I felt we could do better."
Cerebral palsy is the most common physical disability in children, affecting one in 500 kids. Approximately 10,000 New Zealanders live with CP.
Caused by brain damage before or during birth, it affects children in different ways, but the main symptoms are related to movement and posture.
About half of children with cerebral palsy need ankle-foot braces to help them walk and prevent muscle tightening, but they can be bulky and uncomfortable.
They are also tricky and slow to make; they are crafted by clinicians from a plaster mould and heavily reliant on that clinician's level of skill and experience, rather than on patient-specific data.
"When an uncomfortable brace restricts someone's walking to the extent they prefer not to wear the brace, their condition can get worse," Chami says. "This can result in them doing less, and potentially lead to an increased reliance on a wheelchair, more intensive interventions such as surgery, and other consequences such as social isolation.

Raul Garrigasait, professor at the Faculty of Philology and Communication of the University of Barcelona, has won the 2026 Serra d'Or Critics' Prize in the essay category for La roca i l'aire. Art and religion of Llull in Tapies, published by Fragmenta in 2025. The award recognizes the work as the best essay published during the past year.
The award-winning book proposes a reading of the correspondences between art and religion in the Catalan cultural tradition. Garrigasait passes through figures and works ranging from the Catalan kabbalists to Ramon Llull, Ausias March, Isabel de Villena, Carner, Mompou and Tapies, and follows a sensualist tradition in Catalan art and thought. It also examines how, during the consolidation of modernity, the artistic genius thought of himself as a "second god" and sought in transcendence a language to give thickness to creation.
The Serra d'Or Critics' Awards are the awards that the magazine Serra d'Or, linked to the Abbey of Montserrat, awards annually to the most outstanding works published the previous year, without submission to the competition. They have no economic endowment and consist of a gold lapel serreta as a badge. In the category of literature and essays, works of various genres are recognized, such as novels, poetry, translations or essays. This year was the sixtieth edition of these awards.
Raul Garrigasait (Solsona, 1979) holds a PhD in Classical Philology and is a professor at the University of Barcelona. He has taught at the universities of Wales and Stanford, and since 2017 he has chaired La Casa dels Classics. In addition to The Rock and the Air, he is the author of essays such as The Cosmopolitan Dog and Two Other Specimens, The Founders and Baroque Country, and novels such as The Strangers and Prophecy. In 2015 he was recognized by the UB with the V Cum Laude Prize for his doctoral thesis.

On 9 April, the Aula Magna of the Historic Building hosted the event "The university is also Roma!", co-organised by the CampusRom University Roma Roma Network and the University of Barcelona, to commemorate the International Day of the Roma People. The session included interventions by Roma people with some kind of relationship with the university.
The event, organized with the support of the Office of the Vice-Rector for Equality, Inclusion and Gender of the UB, aimed to make visible the presence of the Roma people at the university and to reflect on the role of the academy in the fight against discrimination against this group. The session included speeches on the history of the Roma people and a round table entitled "University Roma and Roma".
At the same time, until 17 April, the Historic Building will host the photographic exhibition "RomReferents: the university is also Roma", an exhibition of portraits of Roma university students that aims to highlight the academic career of these students, as well as the contribution of the Roma people in the university environment.
It is estimated that, currently, around 150 Roma people could be enrolled in the Catalan university system. This figure indicates a still very small presence of this population at the university and a considerable social and educational gap. It is estimated that, in Catalonia, the Roma population is around 65,000 people, and according to some sources the figure is between 80,000 and 90,000. Thus, taking into account that the most cited estimates indicate that only between 1% and 2.6% of the Roma population go to university, only about 1,500 Roma people have a university degree in Catalonia.

UNIVERSITY OF BARCELONA ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND DRONES TO SELECT THE MOST RESILIENT WHEAT
Making wheat better adapted to climate change without losing yield has become an urgent need for agriculture. Now, research led by a team from the University of Barcelona and the Agrotecnio research center has discovered an innovative way to face this challenge: combining advanced technology and artificial intelligence to select the best varieties of this grass.
The study, published in the journal Plant Phenomics, proposes a change of perspective: it is necessary to look not only at the yield, but also at the ability of wheat to maintain consistent harvests even though the climate is changing. The conclusions suggest that this combination of productivity and stability is key to ensuring safe harvests in changing environmental conditions.
The authors of the study are the researchers Jara Jauregui Beso, Jose Luis Araus and Shawn Carlisle Kefauver, from the Department of Evolutionary Biology, Ecology and Environmental Sciences of the Faculty of Biology of the UB and Agrotecnio; Nieves Aparicio and Sara Alvarez, from the Agricultural Technological Institute of Castilla y Leon (ITACyL), and Maria Teresa Nieto Taladriz, from the National Institute of Agricultural and Food Research and Technology (INIA-CSIC).
Drones to study wheat crops
The team analysed 64 varieties of durum wheat grown in two different Mediterranean environments: irrigated and dryland. The objective was to identify which genotypes combine high production with a stable response in variable environments, with differences in temperature and water availability.

UNIVERSITY OF BARCELONAGLOBAL COLLABORATION ACHIEVES 1% ACCURACY IN MEASURING THE LOCAL EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE
An international collaboration of astronomers has achieved the most accurate direct measurement to date of the current rate of expansion of the universe. In a paper to be published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, the H0 Distance Network (H0DN) collaboration reports a value of the Hubble constant of H₀ 73.50 0.81 km s⁻ Mpc⁻, which corresponds to an accuracy of slightly more than 1%.
The study is the result of a broad community effort initiated at the workshop "What's under the H0od? Towards Consensus on the local value of the Hubble Constant", which took place at the headquarters of the International Institute of Space Sciences (ISSI), in the city of Bern, in March 2025. The full article will be published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics. Once accepted, the analysis code will be made public through GitHub and the Astrophysics Source Code Library.
One network, not a single path
For nearly a century, astronomers have relied on the so-called distance scale to measure the Hubble constant (H₀), calibrating cosmic objects at ever-greater distances using a sequence of interconnected steps. Despite its great success, this approach can allow uncertainties to propagate along a single dominant measurement path.
The H0DN collaboration adopted a different strategy: it opted for a local distance network. He replaced the single scale, therefore, with a mathematical framework that connected many distance indicators simultaneously. The network links independent, overlapping distance probes-including Cepheid variable stars, the tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB), Mira variable stars, megamasers, Type Ia and II supernovae, surface brightness fluctuations, the Tully-Fisher relationship, and the fundamental plane-into a single, coherent analysis.

The University of Barcelona and Barcelona City Council have signed an agreement to restore the Dragon Door of the Pavilions of the Guell Estate, after the agreement received the approval of the City Council's Governing Commission on 9 April. The work will be based on the project presented by the Municipal Institute of Urban Landscape and Quality of Life (IMPUiQV), which includes the Dragon door, made of wrought iron, the factory parts that frame the door, including the orange tree at the crown on the right side, as well as the pedestrian door and the bell on the left side.
The IMPUiQV will award the UB a municipal subsidy of 116,000 euros, a figure that represents a little more than 50% of the total budget of the action, of 202,877.68 euros. The remaining funding will be provided by the World Monuments Fund (WMF), an organization that has collaborated with the UB since 2014, when the Guell Pavilions were included in the Watch program, to promote the restoration and conservation of the world's architectural and cultural heritage at risk. Thus, the municipal subsidy does not correspond to the entire cost of the works, but is part of a co-financing model. The works should begin in 2026 and are scheduled to be completed before December 31, 2027.
The Guell Pavilions are owned by the University of Barcelona and comprise the two buildings built by Gaudi (stables and picador, and goalkeeper), the Dragon Gate and the garden bounded by Avinguda de Pedralbes, George Collins and Pere Duran Farell streets, and the boundary of the gardens of the Faculty of Law.

UNIVERSITY OF BARCELONA AN INNOVATIVE MODEL TO STUDY CELLS THAT ARE DECISIVE IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND REPAIR OF THE HEART
Fibroblasts are an essential component of the heart, as they play key roles in its architecture, development and response to heart damage. In this context, a recent study led by the University of Barcelona presents an innovative in vitro model that allows the precise analysis of the activation mechanisms, cell identity and functional properties of cardiac fibroblasts. These cells are not only fundamental during the embryonic formation of the heart, but also play a decisive role in the fibrosis processes associated with various cardiovascular diseases.
This advance, published in the journal Disease Models and Mechanisms, represents the first in vitro model developed from transgenic mice that allows the specific isolation of fibroblasts derived from the outer layer of the heart (epicardium).
This innovative tool allows a more precise analysis of the role of these cells in cardiac fibrosis and, in addition, opens the door to the screening and development of new therapeutic strategies aimed at reversing pathologies that do not yet have fully effective pharmacological treatments.
The study is led by lecturer Ofelia Martinez-Estrada, principal investigator at the Institute of Biomedicine of the UB (IBUB) and member of the Celltec UB Research Group, of the Department of Cell Biology, Physiology and Immunology of the Faculty of Biology. The first authors are Claudia Muller-Sanchez and Maria Gertrudis MuNiz-Banciella, also from Celltec UB and IBUB. The authors are also the professors Manuel Reina, from Celltec UB, and Francesc X.

Associate Professor Oystein Solberg Eikrem at the University of Bergen (UiB) is leading research that could become a turning point for patients with the disease IgA nephropathy.
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common cause of chronic inflammation in the kidney's filtering units, both in Norway and worldwide. The diagnosis is made by taking a tissue biopsy from the kidney.
IgAN often affects young adults and can progress to severe kidney failure, requiring kidney transplantation or dialysis. According to the Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association, just over 100 people are diagnosed with the disease each year in Norway.
"This is an autoimmune disease that attacks the kidneys and can dramatically change people's lives," says Oystein Solberg Eikrem.

STUDENT HOMELESSNESS CLIMBS SHARPLY ACROSS LOS ANGELES COUNTY, UCLA STUDY SHOWS
Between school years 2022-23 and 2023-24, student homelessness rose 30% among K-12 students in Los Angeles County, according to a new analysis by the UCLA Center for the Transformation of Schools.
An estimated 61,249 students experienced homelessness in the county during the 2023-24 school year. The rate of student homelessness in the county significantly exceeds the percentage of student homelessness in California, which saw a 16% increase between 2022-23 and 2023-24, according to the California Department of Education.
"Los Angeles County is facing a rapid escalation in youth homelessness," said Mayra Cazares-Minero, a research analyst at the UCLA center and an author of one of the new research briefs. "A shortage of housing, economic instability and other barriers is making access to housing more difficult, just as important temporary funding streams and policies supporting access to housing are expiring."

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES: NEW METHODS TO ANALYZE EXISTING RECORDS COULD PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF RISK BEFORE A SUICIDE
A new UCLA-led study of suicides in the U.S. has found that current national reporting on these deaths underestimates the extent of "emotional dysregulation," the emotional distress that occurs before suicide, which could provide a method to prevent future deaths.
Overall, researchers said that indicators of clinically relevant emotional distress may occur in 90% of suicides but are greatly underestimated by current measures. Using large language model (LLM) analyses of existing reports by emergency response personnel and other non-clinicians, they identified this previously underrecognized effect. Use of such LLMs in the future could lead to earlier interventions, including potentially preventing both suicide attempts and resulting deaths.
"Suicide is a major contributor to early mortality, particularly among those 15 to 45 years of age; it is the second leading cause of death for men and fourth for women in the United States," said study co-author, clinical psychologist and UCLA professor Vickie Mays. "Yet estimates drawn from the nation's major tracking source for violent death suggest that perhaps less than half of suicide victims have a mental health disorder at the time of their death, and less than a third are described as being known to have been depressed before they commit suicide."
The peer-reviewed study appears in the April edition of JAMA Network, published by the American Medical Association. The authors, from UCLA's Fielding School of Public Health and Samueli School of Engineering, as well as Purdue University, analyzed 72,585 suicides drawn from the U.S. National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS).
"We used a large language model to detect emotional dysregulation among people who die by suicide," said study co-author Susan Cochran, a psychologist and epidemiologist with UCLA Fielding. "While that may seem obvious, that most people who die this way are going through a great deal of upset, current methods of measuring mental health disorders in this population are undercounting the problem because they rely on people having diagnosed mental health disorders, and these disorders are very much undertreated."

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE: WATCHING ART FILMS CAN MAKE YOU A MORE CREATIVE THINKER
The common intuition that art "expands your mind" may be more literal than it sounds. Art appears to work its cognitive magic by triggering "state openness" - a temporary shift toward a more receptive and exploratory mindset. The films used in the study were sourced from Short of the Week, a highly selective film curation platform. The control videos were rapid-fire compilations of humorous animal clips and other domestic bloopers. This is the first experimental demonstration that passive exposure to everyday art can promote creativity.
A new study offers some of the strongest evidence yet that viewing art doesn't just move us emotionally - it changes how we think. Researchers at UC Santa Barbara found that people who viewed artistic film shorts showed measurable increases in creative thinking compared with those who watched entertaining, "non-art," videos.
"Art confronts us with the unexpected," said psychological researcher Madeleine Gross, who led the study with co-author Jonathan Schooler, also in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. "It pushes us beyond surface-level perception, into broader, and more abstract ways of thinking and perceiving. Those same processes appear to support creative thinking."
In the experiment, nearly 500 participants were randomly assigned to watch either a critically acclaimed animated short film or a humorous home-video compilation - the kind of content familiar to anyone who's scrolled through social media reels. Afterward, each participant completed two tasks designed to capture different dimensions of creative thinking. Woman with long dark center-parted hair smiles outdoors
Madeleine Gross is a leading researcher in the psychology of curiosity, creativity and personality development.
The first was a categorization task. Here, study participants were asked to rate how well various objects fit into a given category. For example: rate how much a car belongs in the category "vehicle." Pretty straightforward. But what about a camel? Or a foot? That's where things get interesting. People who are more willing to accept these offbeat examples are exhibiting what researchers call "conceptual expansion" - a loosening of the boundaries between mental categories. And when those boundaries loosen, ideas cross-pollinate, and new associations form. This is, in many ways, at the heart of creative thinking.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN DIEGO: NEW AI APPROACH REVEALS OCEAN CURRENTS IN UNPRECEDENTED DETAIL
The Gulf Stream is full of interleaving temperature gradient structures that hint at complex underlying current dynamics. GOES-East satellite observations and machine learning have, for the first time, connected this observed structure to the much more difficult problem of observing ocean currents. Video credit: Luc Lenain/Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before. Called GOFLOW (Geostationary Ocean Flow), the approach applies deep learning to thermal images from weather satellites already in orbit, requiring no new hardware to achieve what the researchers describe as a major advancement in ocean observation.
The study, co-led by Luc Lenain, an oceanographer at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and Kaushik Srinivasan, a Scripps alumnus now at UCLA, was published today in the journal Nature Geoscience. The study's two other co-authors, Roy Barkan of Tel Aviv University and Nick Pizzo of the University of Rhode Island, are also Scripps alumni. The project was supported by grants from the Office of Naval Research, NASA and the European Research Council.
Ocean currents play a huge role in shaping Earth's weather and climate, transporting heat around the globe, moving carbon between the atmosphere and ocean interior, and redistributing nutrients that sustain life in the sea. Understanding ocean currents are also vital for search-and-rescue operations and tracking the movement of oil spills. Yet measuring currents over large areas of the ocean has remained extremely challenging. Some satellites estimate currents indirectly by measuring variations in sea-surface height, but they typically image the same location only every 10 days or so - too infrequently to track currents that can appear and disappear within hours. Ship-based measurements and coastal radar systems can capture rapid changes but only for limited areas.

Researchers from the University of California San Diego have found that local sales bans on flavored tobacco in California are associated with reduced youth vaping over time without increasing cigarette smoking. The findings, based on an analysis of more than 2.8 million middle and high school students, were published April 10, 2026 in JAMA Health Forum.
"Our findings suggest that local flavored tobacco bans can be an effective strategy for reducing youth e-cigarette use," said Eric Leas, PhD, MPH, assistant professor at the UC San Diego Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science and senior author of the study. "Importantly, we did not find evidence that these policies led young people to switch to cigarettes, which has been a major concern raised in policy debates." Eric Leas Eric Leas.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN DIEGO: USING PHYSICS, ENGINEERS CREATE FENTANYL TEST STRIPS THAT ARE 100 TIMES MORE SENSITIVE
Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed fentanyl test strips that are about 100 times more sensitive than current commercial versions. They achieved this feat by creating a new physics-based model that explains, for the first time, how these widely used paper-strip tests work and how to systematically improve them.
The findings were published in Biophysics Reviews and featured by the American Institute of Physics (AIP).
Test strips known as lateral flow assays, which are simple, low-cost tests that show results as visible lines on a strip, became household tools during the COVID-19 pandemic. But despite widespread use and decades of development, scientists have lacked a clear, quantitative way to predict these test strips' performance or understand what limits their sensitivity. As a result, improving these tests has largely relied on trial and error.
A research team led by Yuhwa Lo, professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering, tackled this hurdle by building a model based on fundamental physics. The model captures how particles move through the strip; how molecules compete to bind; and how subtle electrical interactions influence the outcome. The model then uses these factors to determine whether a test produces a visible signal and, moreover, how faint a signal it can reliably detect.
The team applied the model to a specific class of tests known as competitive lateral flow assays (cLFAs), which are commonly used to detect small molecules like fentanyl. In these tests, a positive result appears as the absence of a line. If fentanyl is present, it binds to antibodies attached to gold nanoparticles and prevents them from producing a visible line at the test region. If fentanyl is absent, the nanoparticles bind at the test line and produce a signal to indicate a negative result.

"I reimagined what climate change education could look like by positioning. students not as consumers of content, but instead as creators of possible futures," said Laub, who taught middle school science before pursuing a doctoral degree at the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education. She was awarded $5,000 for her winning presentation.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA BARBARA HOW INFORMATION DISORDER SHAPES GLOBAL POLITICS
In international politics, outcomes are shaped not only by what countries do, but by how those actions are perceived. UC Santa Barbara political scientist Julia Morse studies how information disorder - a media environment where it's easy to create content and spread false or misleading material - shapes international politics.
"At the end of the day, it may or may not matter whether a behavior technically violates international law. It matters who wins the contest over public perceptions of behavior," she said.
Across three recent papers, Morse examines how these dynamics are playing out in the international arena, from how governments respond to accusations of wrongdoing to how international organizations like the United Nations operate in a more fragmented information environment.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA BARBARANEW MODEL EXPLAINS HOW SINGLE ELECTRONS CAUSE DAMAGE INSIDE SILICON CHIPS
Researchers in the UC Santa Barbara Materials Department have uncovered the elusive quantum mechanism by which energetic electrons break chemical bonds inside microelectronic devices - a detrimental process that slowly degrades performance over time. The discovery, published as an Editors' Suggestion in Physical Review B, explains decades-old experimental puzzles and moves scientists closer to engineering more reliable devices.
Modern electronics - from smartphones and laptops to solar cells and medical implants - depend on semiconductor materials being stable and dependable for many years. Yet even the most advanced devices suffer gradual wear that eventually limits their performance. The leading culprit is "hot-carrier degradation," a phenomenon that causes electrically energized electrons to trigger chemical changes deep inside the device. Until now, the precise physical mechanisms behind that process were unknown, limiting engineers' ability to suppress the phenomenon.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA BARBARA NEWLY DISCOVERED NEURAL CONNECTIONS REVEAL THAT INHIBITORY NEURONS CAN ALSO DRIVE MOVEMENT
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously unseen neural connections and lesser-known functions of neurons that underlie behavior. Neuroscientists Durafshan Sakeena Syed, Primoz Ravbar and Julie H. Simpson have found that inhibitory neurons - nerve cells known to be responsible for suppressing movement - actively generate and coordinate the rhythmic limb movements required for grooming in fruit flies.
These findings, according to Syed, do not only demonstrate complexities of the animal nervous system that we are only beginning to learn; they also have potential implications for robotics and biomimetic design.
This work, supported by both the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, are published in the journal eLife.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO FOUNDATION: "LOVE ISLAND-STYLE" POWER COUPLE MIGHT HELP UNLOCK HER2 CANCER
In the world of cancer, researchers devote a lot of time to studying the protein receptors HER2 and HER3, which, when paired together can turn into a toxic power couple.
Normally, HER2 and HER3 - which are found on all kinds of human cells - help regulate cell growth and survival, according to Brandon Courteau, a UC San Francisco PhD student in the Tetrad Program and first-place winner of UCSF's 2026 Grad Slam student research competition. But when they pair up, they can get stuck sending nonstop grow and divide messages to cells - exactly what happens during cancer, particularly breast cancer.
Courteau's presentation, "Protein Love Island: How Recoupling HER3 Could Reveal New Possibilities for Breast Cancer Therapeutics," likened the pairing to the singles dating on the TV reality show "Love Island."
To study how these pairings happen and what turns them toxic, Courteau is studying atypical HER3-HER3 pairings, rapidly freezing them and taking microscopic images to build a 3D model of how they fit together.
"If we can figure out what this looks like, we can figure out what it's doing, whether that's helping cancer cells or a way to fight against them," Courteau said. "Once we have that information, we can use their structure to design new cancer drugs that could either create HER3 pairings or 'break them up', leading to potential new opportunities for cancer therapeutics."

Cambridge turned curious, noisy and gloriously hands on this spring as the Cambridge Festival wrapped its 2026 edition with a surge of public energy, big ideas and record numbers. Across 18 days from 16 March to 2 April, more than 50,000 interactions were logged across a programme of more than 360 events, as laboratories, lecture halls and public spaces opened their doors to anyone with a question to ask or something to discover. The result was less a traditional festival than a city-wide conversation between researchers and the people their work hopes to reach.
Families helped set the tone. Thousands poured into the Big Biomedical Campus Day and the Cambridge West Open Day, while the Family Weekend drew more than 8,000 visitors in a lively mix of experiments, performances and practical learning. At the University Centre alone, 3,000 people took part, with 1,000 stopping to learn CPR through a partnership with East Anglian Air Ambulance, turning curiosity into lifesaving knowledge.

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE HUNGARIAN ELECTION 2026
Hungary's 2026 election represents a pivotal moment for the country with far-reaching geopolitical implications. Four Cambridge researchers with close academic and personal ties to the country discuss how we got here, what the result means, and what the future might hold.
Hungarians seized the chance to rid the country of the Orban regime and to choose Europe instead of Russia. Beyond Hungary, the resounding defeat of the poster-boy of anti-European illiberal democracy and nationalist populism has rattled the followers of the Orban model.
Despite the near-monopoly of state media with its propaganda and fear-mongering presenting Fidesz-KDNP as the only safe choice, despite intimidation in some rural areas and what effectively amounted to buying Hungarian votes in neighbouring countries, despite the electoral system that has been repeatedly tweaked by the regime, Orban lost, and lost big. Magyar, a former regime insider, knew how to circumvent Orban's propaganda.

UC LAW GRADUATE RETRAINS AND STEPS INTO WORK
Cornell Prinsloo will graduate with a Bachelor of Laws from Te Whare Wananga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury on Wednesday 15 April.
Originally enrolled at UC in 2010, Cornell left before completing his legal studies and went on to build a career across retail, business and real estate, including completing a commerce degree.
But working alongside property transactions and legal processes brought him back to law.
"I kind of just got to a point where I realised that if I didn't make the change then I probably never would," he says.
Returning to UC in his early 30s, he approached studying with a clear goal of moving into legal practice.
He completed his law degree in two and a half years, taking on a full workload each semester to fast-track his return to the workforce.
Alongside his studies, Cornell gained practical experience through a clerkship, which led directly to his current role in property law. He is now working at Tavendale and Partners in Christchurch and was admitted as a Barrister and Solicitor of the High Court in March after completing his professional studies.
Experiences beyond the classroom also shaped his direction. Through careers events and regular engagement with legal professionals, organised by the Law Faculty at UC, he was able to better understand different pathways within the profession.

UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT TESTING A TINY SKIN PATCH IS TEACHING UCONN RESEARCHERS ABOUT YOUR AGING IMMUNE SYSTEM
As we age, we can begin to notice wrinkling and thinner, thirstier, more sensitive skin. This is because our aging bodies can experience a slower immune system response due to our usually protective immune T-cells no longer working well or simply becoming exhausted. Our aging skin is then more prone to chronic inflammation or 'inflamm-aging' making it easier for bacteria from our microbiome to begin to invade our frail skin's surface leading to higher risk of infections.To learn more about aging and our immunity, an innovative clinical study at UConn Center on Aging is underway testing the effectiveness of placing novel, tiny micro skin patches to capture the skin's surface microbiome bacteria and also immune cells a little deeper in the skin in both young and older adults.

UNIVERSITY OF COSTA RICA: STONE BY STONE, THE COUNTRY'S RIVERS ARE DYING.
"Our concern here is for the river, which is very beautiful and the main tributary of the CaNo Negro refuge. In just 10 kilometers there are several quarries run by private companies and another one operated by the municipality," denounced Yadira Campos Alvarez, a leader who along, with other members of the Maquengal community, continue to fight for a moratorium on non-metallic mining in the northern zone.
Their concerns were explained to government and municipal authorities on March 15, 2025. Through a letter addressed to Mariana Jimenez, regional director of the Arenal Huetar Norte Conservation Area ; to Mayor Carlos Alberto Sequeira; to Franz Tattenback, Minister of the Environment; and to President Rodrigo Chaves, they requested an intervention to address the environmental the disaster have been for years for facing due to "the progressive deterioration of the Frio River due to the indiscriminate exploitation of its resources," as explained in the letter delivered to these public officials.

UNIVERSITY OF DENVER WAR ON IRAN DURING NUCLEAR NEGOTIATIONS UNDERMINES THE US'S ABILITY TO TALK PEACE AROUND THE WORLD − AND THE EFFECTS WON'T END WHEN TRUMP LEAVES OFFICE
Operation Epic Fury - the latest round of military strikes against Iran - began when Iran was engaged in negotiations with the United States to renew restrictions on its nuclear program.
This is not the first time the United States has bombed Iran during nuclear negotiations.
In June 2025, while its representatives were in talks with Iran over that country's ability to produce nuclear weapons, Washington launched Operation Midnight Hammer, targeting three Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.
Washington has been broader in its selection of targets in Iran this time around, even though one stated U.S. goal has been to ensure that Iran does not gain nuclear weapons capability.
Conducting military strikes against a country that is engaged in negotiations to reduce its nuclear capacity sets a dangerous precedent. As a scholar of the global nuclear order, I believe that the conflict has jeopardized all future diplomacy to limit the spread of nuclear weapons.

EVENTS CALENDAR: UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE: NEW EXHIBITION EXPLORES MULTI-SENSORY APPROACH TO ART
'Making Sense: a multi-sensory approach to art' opens in the Tower Foyer Gallery on Friday 10 April. It showcases the research of Jinyu 'Eevee' Han, a PhD student at University's Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design.
She has been collaborating with Dundee Sight Support & Social Hub and North East Sensory Services to develop alternative methods of interpretation. These include artworks that have been designed to be touched, others that are accompanied by tactile 3D models of the original piece, and audio descriptions that can be accessed by scanning a QR code. Braille features throughout the exhibition.
Eevee (30), originally from China, said, "My background is in graphic design and material practice, and I have long been interested in sensory design. Through conversations with blind and partially sighted groups, I realised that many people felt disconnected from exhibitions or were unable to access descriptions of how artworks look when visiting museums.
"This motivated me to explore how alternative sensory approaches could open up these experiences and better support their right to access art. I explored what kinds of tactile forms are easier and more comfortable for blind and partially sighted people to engage with, and which types they tend to prefer.
"I also investigated how different kinds of artworks can be translated into tactile models, including how tactile elements can be used as cues to represent colour. In addition, I found that combining these with creative audio description can greatly support understanding and enrich the overall experience.
"Access to art and culture is a fundamental part of public life. By rethinking how artworks can be experienced through multiple senses, we can create more inclusive environments where everyone feels welcome and able to participate."

UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE: PRELIMINARY FINDINGS SHOW STRONG POTENTIAL FOR RECOVERED FLY ASH IN UNLOCKING A LOW-CARBON FUTURE
The ongoing study, led by University of Dundee in collaboration with the UK Quality Ash Association (UKQAA), LKAB, Master Builders, and the Scottish Research Partnership in Engineering, is investigating how CDFA performs as a constituent in concrete across a range of durability and long-term exposure tests. These tests replicate the various requirements of concretes across various applications in the construction of large-scale infrastructure.
Now two years into the three-year programme, initial data is giving encouraging results for various properties, including aspects of durability, across a range of mixes. Importantly, the findings indicate that processed CDFA from stockpiles performs similarly to freshly produced fly ash, supporting its viability as a sustainable construction material for future infrastructure applications. All CDFA samples tested so far have met the fineness, loss on ignition (LOI) and chemical requirements of EN450, the European standard for fly ash in concrete.
Dr Mike McCarthy, Reader in Civil Engineering at the University of Dundee, who is supervising the research, said: "This important study has assessed a wide range of durability properties relevant to CDFA's applications in construction. By extending our testing across a broad range of concrete formulations, we are beginning to build a clear picture of how processed CDFA behaves in real-world conditions and how it can support the development of low-carbon concrete mixes that meet established performance expectations."
The study is evaluating CDFA across a range of binary and ternary concrete mixes produced at water-cement ratios from 0.35 to 0.55.
Nigel Cooke, UKQAA Director, said, "These early findings from the University of Dundee highlight the significant opportunity we have to bring stockpiled fly ash back into the construction supply chain in a meaningful way. What is particularly encouraging is the consistency we're seeing across durability, strength development and overall performance. The Atritor (drying and deagglomeration) and STET (carbon removal) pilot plants that provided the processed CDFA which was used in the study are enabling stockpiled material to deliver performance comparable to fresh ash.

UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA COULD YOUR HOUSEMATES BE CHANGING YOUR GUT BACTERIA?
Living with friends may quietly be altering your gut bacteria - according to a new study from the University of East Anglia.
Research on a colony of tiny island birds reveals they share more of their gut bacteria with the birds they spend the most time with.
And the team say the same principle almost certainly applies to humans too.
Previous human studies have hinted at this phenomenon - with spouses and long term cohabitees often having more similar gut microbiomes than strangers, even when their diets differ.
But the new bird research provides unusually clear evidence of how social closeness itself - not just shared environment - drives the exchange of gut bacteria.

UEA GRADUATE 'STEPPING' UP IN THE WORLD OF THEATRE
AA University of East Anglia graduate is stepping into the spotlight with a glittering new Steps musical now touring theatres across the UK.
Shaun Kitchener, who studied English and Drama at UEA, has written the new jukebox musical Here & Now, based on the iconic pop group Steps.
The show has been rated four stars by The Guardian, as well as being promoted on Britain's Got Talent and Strictly Come Dancing, with the cast of the musical performing alongside Steps themselves.
The idea for Here & Now began years before the musical's debut. Back in 2017, a member of Steps' management team happened to catch one of Shaun's shows in a small Camden pub theatre.
Five years later, Shaun was invited to pitch for what would become the band's official jukebox musical.
"It was surreal," said Shaun. "I was a big Steps fan as a kid - and, let's be honest, an adult too. So, I felt like I understood the vibe they wanted - party with a heart. Camp and shiny, sure, but grounded in something real.
"I'm really influenced by comedy‑dramas that make you laugh but also genuinely resonate. That was my starting point - with plenty of great songs thrown in."

ARTEMIS II SET FOR FRIDAY SPLASHDOWN WITH UGA-BUILT TECHNOLOGY ONBOARD
An instrument designed by a University of Georgia graduate is currently on its way back to Earth after the successful completion of NASA's Artemis II mission.
Since the April 1 launch, four NASA astronauts have been aboard the Orion spacecraft, nicknamed Integrity, rigorously testing its integrated systems during the mission. Every breath onboard is carefully monitored by a compact device called the laser air monitoring system. At the heart of this system is a laser spectroscopy instrument created by Jeff Pilgrim, a UGA Franklin College of Arts and Sciences alumnus who built his career around the idea that lasers can "read" the air.
Laser spectroscopy is a technique that uses lasers to obtain information about objects based on how they respond to light. This information provides insights into objects' chemical and molecular makeups, as well as their physical characteristics. The Orion spacecraft takes off.NASA invited Jeff and Melissa Pilgrim to the launch of the Orion spacecraft on April 1. (Submitted photo)
"The instruments on Integrity represent the culmination of efforts across multiple disciplines over two decades, moving laser spectroscopy forward into the future of human spaceflight," Pilgrim said. "I am grateful that NASA has allowed my company, Vista Photonics, to participate in this mission, where scientific and engineering principles instilled by my multidisciplinary Franklin College education could be applied to protect the crew."
The astronauts have traveled farther from Earth than any humans since the Apollo era. The mission included a close lunar flyby, during which the crew gathered scientific data while testing critical systems for future exploration.
The 10-day mission has demonstrated essential life-support, navigation and communication capabilities needed for upcoming lunar landings. The spacecraft is currently preparing for high-speed reentry and splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, marking a pivotal step in NASA's long-term Artemis program.

Riya is a fiercely independent, hard-working and trustworthy student who has worked her way through entry-level roles and earned increasing trust and authority over the past three years, culminating in her selection as residential supervisor. During this time, she successfully supervised a team of more than 15 peer staff members while taking direct responsibility for 150 campers each week - totaling more than 1,000 campers across six weeks in an overnight environment. She created an environment where her team felt genuinely supported while maintaining rigorous professional standards. When staff members faced challenges with campers or uncertainties about protocols, they consistently turned to Riya, trusting her judgment and expertise.

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA: JAZZ SINGER, MACARTHUR FELLOW CECILE MCLORIN SALVANT TO MAKE ATHENS DEBUT
UGA Presents hosts the Athens debut of Grammy-winning jazz singer and composer Cecile McLorin Salvant at Hodgson Concert Hall on April 17 at 7:30 p.m. The concert, part of the UGA Presents 30th anniversary season, is supported by Sally Haushalter.
Widely recognized as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary jazz, Salvant brings a deeply expressive and genre-spanning approach to performance. She will be joined by longtime collaborators Sullivan Fortner (piano), Yasushi Nakamura (bass) and Kyle Poole (drums).
Salvant has earned international acclaim for her artistry, with legendary soprano Jessye Norman describing her as "a unique voice supported by an intelligence and full-fledged musicality, which light up every note she sings." Known for her passion for storytelling, Salvant draws connections across a wide spectrum of musical traditions, including jazz, blues, vaudeville, theater, Baroque and folkloric music. Her performances often feature rarely heard repertoire alongside original compositions, marked by narrative depth, humor and emotional nuance.
The Miami-born artist rose to prominence after winning the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition in 2010. She has since received three consecutive Grammy Awards for Best Jazz Vocal Album for "The Window," "Dreams and Daggers" and "For One to Love" and has earned additional nominations for her albums "WomanChild," "Ghost Song" and "Melusine." In 2020, she was awarded both a MacArthur Fellowship and the Doris Duke Artist Award.

UGA PROGRAM HELPS COUPLES FACE CHALLENGES TOGETHER
Raising a child with a disability presents unique challenges. A relationship education program from the University of Georgia may be able to help, according to a recent study.
The researchers followed 127 couples raising children with disabilities and 493 couples raising kids without disabilities from 2015 to 2020, during their participation in UGA's ELEVATE program. ELEVATE is a no-cost relationship education program hosted by University of Georgia Cooperative Extension through the Elevate Couples Georgia initiative that helps couples navigate challenges in their relationships.
The couples who participated reported they felt less stressed and had strengthened their relationship skills over the course of the program, and these positive changes were still evident six months after completing ELEVATE.
"Even if you think you're doing great and your relationship is strong, our relationships tend to get challenged the most when we're stressed," said Ted Futris, corresponding author of the study and a professor in the UGA College of Family and Consumer Sciences. He also serves as director of the Couples and Relationship Enrichment, or CARE, Lab that leads the research and delivery of the ELEVATE program. "Practicing those relationship skills and learning some new ones can help during those times of stress." Couples raising children with disabilities report high levels of stress
Before the program started, couples caring for children with disabilities reported higher levels of stress compared to their peers. Women, in particular, felt more stressed, less confident in their romantic relationship and that their partner wasn't supporting them enough as a co-parent, the study found.

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA: SILVICULTURE PROFESSOR COMES FULL CIRCLE AT WARNELL
Stephen Kinane signed his job offer from a hospital room, finalizing his return to the University of Georgia just hours before the birth of his daughter.
"At that point, I knew this was going to be a lifestyle career," said Kinane, assistant professor of silviculture at the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources.
For him, Warnell was already familiar ground, a place that had shaped him as a graduate student years earlier. There, he saw firsthand the dedication faculty brought to mentoring students, the way colleagues collaborated across disciplines and the lasting connection alumni maintained long after graduation.
But his path to forestry began long before he arrived at Warnell.
Growing up, Kinane spent much of his time outdoors as an Eagle Scout, while his father, a forestry graduate from North Carolina State University, built a career as a soil conservationist. Those early experiences made the field feel like a natural fit, but what drew him in was its breadth.
"It's a very multidisciplinary field," Kinane said. "You're trying to understand how a biological system behaves, and you're using tools from economics, biometrics, chemistry and calculus to measure and model it. That's what I really like about it."

UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW VECTOR PHOTONICS CELEBRATES MILESTONE DEMONSTRATION OF ITS LASER TECHNOLOGY
A champion spin-out company from the University of Glasgow has successfully demonstrated leading-edge laser technology outside the laboratory for the first time.
Vector Photonics, which is pioneering the use of photonic crystal surface emitting lasers (PCSEL) in secure communications, successfully transmitted data across the River Clyde from the Glasgow Science Centre to the Clydeside Distillery, using a system designed and built by Fraunhofer UK.
The successful public demonstration was carried out on 31 March 2026, and has been hailed as a major step forward for the technology.
PCSELs are a new type of laser, combining the high power of edge emitting lasers with the speed and surface emission of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL).
They are highly advantageous for secure, free-space optical communication systems due to their ability to emit narrow, high-brightness beams with excellent beam quality and low divergence, which is critical for minimising signal loss over long distances.

The one-year anniversary of the official designation of Papahanaumokuakea as a National Marine Sanctuary was celebrated on March 3, a historic milestone in the ongoing protection of one of the most sacred and ecologically significant places on Earth. In recognition of this anniversary, the Papahanaumokuakea Marine Debris Project (PMDP), Papahanaumokuakea Sanctuary Advisory Council (SAC) and the University of Hawaiʻi Sea Grant College Program (Hawaiʻi Sea Grant) are starting the new, community-centered initiative, Papahanaumokuakea: Bringing the Place to the People.
Papahanaumokuakea is a place of profound cultural, ecological and ancestral significance. Yet for many, it remains distant and abstract. The project seeks to bridge that distance by fostering meaningful, community-led engagement that deepens public awareness, stewardship, trust and cultural connection to the Papahanaumokuakea National Marine Sanctuary. Beginning in summer and fall 2026, PMDP, SAC and Hawaiʻi Sea Grant will host community talk story sessions on Hawaiʻi Island (Hilo and Kona), Maui, Lanaʻi, Molokaʻi, Oʻahu and Kauaʻi. two people walking on the beach carrying debris (Photo credit: Andrew Sullivan-Haskins, PMDP)
This initiative centers Native Hawaiian voices, values and leadership, elevating cultural resource conservation and protection as foundational to the sanctuary's past, present and future. Their vision is a living, island-to-island exchange where communities do not simply learn about Papahanaumokuakea, but actively shape how its story, stewardship and future are carried forward. Rooted in listening
These gatherings are not presentations delivered to communities, they are conversations rooted in listening. This initiative allows SAC, whose kuleana is to represent the communities, to learn directly from each island community and amplify their voices. The sessions will explore how Western science and Indigenous knowledge systems can be meaningfully integrated, community perspectives on stewardship and management, cultural resource protection priorities, opportunities for youth engagement and leadership, and how communities wish to remain connected to Papahanaumokuakea.

UJ LEADS NATIONALLY IN ACCOUNTING AS 2026 SAICA RESULTS CONFIRM DEPTH AND MOMENTUM
The University of Johannesburg (UJ) has reinforced its national leadership in accounting education following the release of the January 2026 Initial Assessment of Competence (IAC) results on Friday, 10 April 2026. The University achieved an 86% first-time pass rate while increasing the number of successful candidates, placing it among the strongest performers nationally in this year's sitting.
A total of 249 UJ candidates passed the IAC in 2026, up from 207 in 2025, marking a notable increase in graduate output at a key gateway into the profession. This performance was achieved with a larger cohort of first-time writers, demonstrating a system that expands access while sustaining strong academic outcomes.
The results also signal continued progress in advancing the transformation of the accounting profession. In 2026, 196 African candidates from UJ passed the IAC, compared to 154 in the previous year. This upward trajectory reflects a sustained and deliberate effort to broaden participation in a field that remains critical to South Africa's economic growth.
The IAC, administered by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants, is the first of two professional examinations required on the path to qualifying as a Chartered Accountant. Success at this level requires both technical competence and the ability to apply knowledge in complex, real-world contexts. UJ's performance therefore reflects not only academic strength, but also the relevance and responsiveness of its programmes.
These results build on UJ's broader academic standing. In the latest Times Higher Education subject rankings, UJ is ranked number one in South Africa for Business and Economics, reinforcing the depth and competitiveness of its accounting and finance programmes.
"Access and excellence are mutually reinforcing. The 2026 results demonstrate that expanding opportunities for students can coincide with strong academic performance and professional readiness. This is enabled through programmes that integrate technical expertise with critical thinking, ethical grounding and adaptability, equipping graduates to navigate a profession shaped by rapid technological change and evolving regulatory environments," said Professor Letlhokwa Mpedi, Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of Johannesburg.

UNIVERSITY OF JOHANNESBURG: "CONSISTENT PEOPLE ARE SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE"- A GUIDING PRINCIPLE FOR LLB GRADUATE LEBELELANG MOLAAPHENE
From Battlemound, a small village in Kuruman, to one of the country's leading law faculties, Lebelelang Kutlo Molaaphene's journey is a powerful story of purpose, resilience, and a deep commitment to justice. This season, he proudly graduates with an LLB from the University of Johannesburg (UJ) Faculty of Law.
His path to law began long before university. "My journey to studying law began in intermediate school when I was given an assignment about career paths and who I want to be when I grow up. It was in that moment where I decided that law is my destiny," he reflects.
Rooted in the lived realities of his community, his motivation was clear from the outset. "The many prevalent injustices in my community inspired me to study law. I told myself that I am going to use law as a tool to make a difference, to eradicate violent crimes and corruption and to be the voice for the voiceless."
Graduating from UJ Law, ranked among the top law faculties globally and second in South Africa, marks a moment of both pride and reflection. "Graduating from the second-best law faculty in the nation feels amazing. It is an achievement that I take pride in as it was not easy."
"This achievement means the world to me and my family as it is a dream come true. My family have always supported me throughout my journey, and this achievement signifies the start of many good things to come."
His time at UJ Law was defined by both academic growth and practical experience. Moot court assignments sharpened his legal thinking, while his final-year experience at the Law Clinic brought the law to life. "At the law clinic I got a glimpse of what it is like being a lawyer and I was afforded an opportunity to apply my legal knowledge to real-life situations."

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS: COMPOSER ELEVATES VOICES OF WOMEN POETS ON NEW RECORDING
What intrigues concertgoers most when they hear Ingrid Stolzel's composition "Livid Loneliness of Fear," a setting of poetry by aviator Amelia Earhart, is the droning sound of a propeller airplane that opens the piece.
So that is how her new album, "Three Silent Things: Vocal Chamber Music by Ingrid Stolzel" (Navona Records), starts as well.
"The sound is created by the percussionist, Garret Arney, rubbing a bass drum with a super ball attached to a mallet, and it makes this distant propeller airplane sound," said Stolzel, associate professor in the University of Kansas School of Music. "The idea was to create an atmosphere before the voice comes in that honors Earhart's pioneering legacy as an aviator. Her poem 'Courage' that I'm setting also paints a picture of flying 'high above the clouds,' so I wanted to have this kind of atmospheric moment."
Taking its title from a line in Earhart's poem, the 15-minute album opener "Livid Loneliness of Fear" features mezzo-soprano Annie Rosen, plus current and former KU faculty members Daniel Velasco (flute), Justin Harbaugh (clarinet), Veronique Mathieu (violin) and Hannah Collins (cello).
"When I write vocal music, I have the added advantage of another artistic perspective, which is the poet," Stolzel said. "The text is what will inspire the melodies and what's happening in the music. And my goal as a composer is to elevate the message that's already in the poem. I really feel my responsibility is to the poets. And I picked poets for this album - all women - whose powerful words I felt like I could do something with. Not every poem lends itself to a musical setting. But I chose poetry I felt like I could add something to musically and emotionally."

JAYHAWKS ELEVATE: KU'S CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PROCESSES MORE THAN 300 IDEAS
A team of University of Kansas employees wanted to improve a process in how benefits were administered to KU student veterans: Not only was the current method time-consuming, but it could also generate duplicate awards that led to incorrect disbursements.
Adam Phillips with Student Accounts and Tamara Horner with the KU Military-Affiliated Student Center replaced a manual spreadsheet process, then further refined workflow steps so sponsorships would be administered through a structured sequence, preventing future errors.
"Any time we are working with students and their financial situation, accuracy and efficiency is key," said Mandy Tucker, director of Student Accounts and Receivables.
The team's solution is just one of the proposals that have been processed through Jayhawks Elevate, the KU continuous improvement initiative that seeks to enhance operations, the educational environment and community engagement - one idea at a time.
In a little more than three years, the program has received 320 suggestions, visible on the Jayhawks Elevate dashboard, and enacted changes that have saved the university tens of thousands of dollars. Craig Alexander, senior director of Jayhawks Elevate, said he hopes to see more ideas from the KU community to introduce efficiencies, solutions and cost savings and to identify new revenue streams.

KU LAW TO HOST ANNUAL FEDERAL COURTS JUNIOR SCHOLARS WORKSHOP
The University of Kansas School of Law will host the 15th annual Federal Courts Junior Scholars Workshop, a selective national conference that brings together emerging and established legal scholars to exchange ideas, strengthen scholarship and build community within the field of federal courts. The 2026 workshop will take place April 24 in Green Hall on the Lawrence campus.
The workshop, which rotates among host institutions each year, is designed specifically for junior scholars - legal academics who are pre-tenure or early in their careers. This year's conference is organized by Sharon Brett, KU associate professor of law, who was selected to host the event by the Association of American Law Schools Section on Federal Courts and prior workshop hosts.
"It's been an incredible opportunity to get to know some senior scholars and get them to invest in the growth and development of more junior professors or future professors who will teach and write in federal courts," Brett said. "It has allowed me to connect with colleagues across the country and get to know their work and who they are and bring them together to have an engaging, substantive day on the area of the law that I write in personally."
The conference features a collaborative format in which junior scholars submit draft papers before the event for review by senior scholars from leading law schools. At the workshop, each paper is discussed in a structured session that begins with detailed commentary from a senior scholar, followed by questions and feedback from all participants.
This year's workshop will include five panels of full-length papers and a "lightning round" panel for early-stage projects. Topics span a wide range of issues within federal courts, including federalism, judicial precedent, remedies, civil rights litigation and substantive federal claims.
Junior and senior scholars from institutions across the country are expected to attend, including representatives from New York University, the University of Chicago, Yale University, Stanford University, the University of Florida, Northwestern University, the University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS: NEW APPROACH TO RELIGIOUS LITERACY AIMS TO FOSTER DEEPER UNDERSTANDING, AVERT CONFLICT
An estimated 10,000 religions exist worldwide. So how can people truly coexist if they are unable to understand their own and each other's religion?
That's the question addressed by Ryan Lemasters, a doctoral student in philosophy at the University of Kansas.
His new article titled "Interreligious attentiveness: A revised approach to religious literacy" argues that his titular approach works better than those endorsed by other scholars in the academic study of religion. He draws attention to their limitations by virtue of three challenges: conversion, multiple religious belonging and motivation. The article appears in Religious Studies, published by Cambridge University Press. Ryan Lemasters Ryan Lemasters
Lemasters first noted a gap in conventional theory when discussing religious affiliation with his university classes.
"It's common for students in my religious studies courses to reveal their religious affiliation," he said.
"For instance, I commonly hear, 'I'm a devout Catholic. I went to Catholic school. I wear a cross. I identify as one.' And I'm like, 'Oh, great. So can you tell me the seven sacraments?' They're like, 'Huh?' Scholars of religion identify these as basic tenets of Catholicism. That's the puzzle. They think their religion influences their beliefs, their worldview and their actions. They identify as Catholic. But when asked basic tenets of Catholicism, they fail miserably."
What does it mean, then, to be Catholic or, more broadly, identify with a religion? Lemasters said he believes religious literacy is key.
"What is the missing ingredient that should be included in an approach or an account of religious literacy?" he said. "Being attentive to the right kinds of things at the right time and for the right reasons."
While delving into this topic, he identified three conventional approaches to religious literacy found in the current literature: knowledge, skills and analysis.
He said, "Knowing stuff about the 'religious other' seems to be important. Having skills to communicate with the religious other in terms of a respectful conversation also seems to be important. Analysis means we should be able to understand what the term 'religion' refers to. All these are significant, but even more crucial is how character interacts with these approaches."

Graduation is a milestone at the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center as students complete 14 weeks of training and take the oath to serve as law enforcement officers across Kansas. KLETC Vice Provost Darin Beck, U.S. Rep. Derek Schmidt, Class President Juan Acevedo.
Family and friends filled the auditorium April 10 to watch members of the 355th graduating class mark their transition from students to sworn law enforcement officers.
Police Instructor Senior Josh Long introduced the class during the ceremony. Darin Beck, vice provost and director of police training, presented Director's Awards to two members of the Overland Park Police Department, Robert Cree and Luis Adame, recognizing their actions during a serious crash on I-35 on March 20 while they were still in training at KLETC.
The officers were traveling home for the weekend and outside their jurisdiction when they came upon a single-vehicle collision in which three individuals were ejected.
Cree identified a victim suffering from a compound fracture to the right femur and severe bleeding. Using a tourniquet issued during his training in Tactical Combat Casualty Care, he was able to stop the bleeding and help save the individual's life.
Adame located a second ejected victim who had multiple injuries, including a head injury. Drawing on his training, he stabilized the individual and prevented bystanders from moving the victim, reducing the risk of further injury.
A third officer, Nolan Shockley of the Lansing Police Department, who is part of the 358th graduating class at the academy, was traveling with the two and assisted the third victim. He helped stabilize the individual and remained on scene until EMS arrived for transport.
U.S. Rep. Derek Schmidt addressed the graduates, emphasizing the importance of support from families, colleagues and the broader law enforcement community.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS: RESEARCH FINDS EFFORTS TO END CHILD MARRIAGE IN MALAWI LEAVE OUT LOCAL KNOWLEDGE, CULTURE
Child marriage in Malawi has proven to be a persistent problem. Nearly 40% of girls are married by the age of 18 despite legal reforms.
New research from the University of Kansas draws on insights from those working on the issue in the country. Attempts to combat child marriage are often guided by well-intentioned approaches that do not always align and leave out key stakeholders and local knowledge, according to Linda Banda, a Malawi native and KU alumna.
Banda saw firsthand the negative cultural impact persistent child marriage had. Poverty, abuse and negative health outcomes for young women and their children are common outcomes for those married before 18.
"This is very personal to me. I've seen how this issue affects communities in deep ways," Banda said. "I worked as a child protection specialist for an INGO (international nongovernmental organization) in Malawi and witnessed how child marriage affects girls.
"Around 2013 we started advocating for ending child marriage, and a law setting the minimum age of marriage at 18 - called the Marriage, Divorce and Family Relations Act - was enacted in 2015. And then a constitutional amendment in 2017 raised the minimum age of marriage to 18, removing exceptions that had allowed marriage at 15 with parental consent."
Despite those legal reforms, the practice continued. As a doctoral student at KU, Banda began conducting research on the issue as part of her dissertation with Juliana Carlson, associate professor in the School of Social Welfare. For a recently published study, they interviewed more than 20 people working to end child marriage in Malawi, including local, national and international NGO workers, government officials, faith and local leaders, journalists and other stakeholders responsible for making decisions on which interventions to be implemented on ending child marriage.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS: STUDY SHOWS CIGARETTE SMOKING ALMOST TWICE AS LIKELY FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH CHRONIC PAIN
New research from the University of Kansas shows people who experience chronic pain tend to consume cigarettes and e-cigarettes at higher rates than others. The findings, based on analysis of the National Health Interview Survey from 2014-2023, should inform therapies for both chronic pain and smoking cessation.
The study appears in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
"People get caught in this really vicious cycle where pain is driving smoking, smoking makes the pain worse, which makes it really hard to quit," said co-author Jessica Powers, assistant professor of psychology at KU. "We know pain drives tobacco use. Tobacco has short-term pain-relieving properties, so a lot of people find it helpful in the moment, but it actually causes negative effects in the long term. Tobacco smoking can actually make pain worse and make you more likely to develop a chronic pain condition."
Powers, who also serves as assistant scientist with the KU Life Span Institute's Cofrin Logan Center for Addition Research & Treatment, said there's a growing understanding that chronic pain relates to substance-use disorders and addiction.
"In our case, we're seeing a lot of data showing that those with chronic pain are much more likely to use tobacco - cigarettes, e-cigarettes and other types of nicotine or tobacco products," she said.
Powers and her colleagues analyzed responses from more than 195,600 Americans surveyed over 10 years. The key finding: Chronic pain is tied to smoking and vaping at higher rates.
"Smoking tends to make everything worse," Powers said. "We see impacts on mental health. As a pain psychologist, when I work directly with patients, we talk about smoking as a way to cope with the lower mood that comes with living with chronic pain, not being able to get out of the house or do things that are important to them. That coping strategy tends to make everything worse. We talk about it as a cycle involving pain, addiction, mood and functioning."

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS CANCER CENTER: COMPOSER ELEVATES VOICES OF WOMEN POETS ON NEW RECORDING
What intrigues concertgoers most when they hear Ingrid Stolzel's composition "Livid Loneliness of Fear," a setting of poetry by aviator Amelia Earhart, is the droning sound of a propeller airplane that opens the piece.
So that is how her new album, "Three Silent Things: Vocal Chamber Music by Ingrid Stolzel" (Navona Records), starts as well.
"The sound is created by the percussionist, Garret Arney, rubbing a bass drum with a super ball attached to a mallet, and it makes this distant propeller airplane sound," said Stolzel, associate professor in the University of Kansas School of Music. "The idea was to create an atmosphere before the voice comes in that honors Earhart's pioneering legacy as an aviator. Her poem 'Courage' that I'm setting also paints a picture of flying 'high above the clouds,' so I wanted to have this kind of atmospheric moment."
Taking its title from a line in Earhart's poem, the 15-minute album opener "Livid Loneliness of Fear" features mezzo-soprano Annie Rosen, plus current and former KU faculty members Daniel Velasco (flute), Justin Harbaugh (clarinet), Veronique Mathieu (violin) and Hannah Collins (cello).
"When I write vocal music, I have the added advantage of another artistic perspective, which is the poet," Stolzel said. "The text is what will inspire the melodies and what's happening in the music. And my goal as a composer is to elevate the message that's already in the poem. I really feel my responsibility is to the poets. And I picked poets for this album - all women - whose powerful words I felt like I could do something with. Not every poem lends itself to a musical setting. But I chose poetry I felt like I could add something to musically and emotionally."

JAYHAWKS ELEVATE: KU'S CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PROCESSES MORE THAN 300 IDEAS
A team of University of Kansas employees wanted to improve a process in how benefits were administered to KU student veterans: Not only was the current method time-consuming, but it could also generate duplicate awards that led to incorrect disbursements.
Adam Phillips with Student Accounts and Tamara Horner with the KU Military-Affiliated Student Center replaced a manual spreadsheet process, then further refined workflow steps so sponsorships would be administered through a structured sequence, preventing future errors.
"Any time we are working with students and their financial situation, accuracy and efficiency is key," said Mandy Tucker, director of Student Accounts and Receivables.
The team's solution is just one of the proposals that have been processed through Jayhawks Elevate, the KU continuous improvement initiative that seeks to enhance operations, the educational environment and community engagement - one idea at a time.
In a little more than three years, the program has received 320 suggestions, visible on the Jayhawks Elevate dashboard, and enacted changes that have saved the university tens of thousands of dollars. Craig Alexander, senior director of Jayhawks Elevate, said he hopes to see more ideas from the KU community to introduce efficiencies, solutions and cost savings and to identify new revenue streams.
"How do we consistently create an environment that fosters the sharing of issues and solving them together?" he said. "That's what we're trying to accomplish."
Alexander said improvement projects largely fall under three categories: processes, the KU experience and finances. Those projects have stemmed from both staff and faculty suggestions, from solving cumbersome processes to saving KU thousands of dollars. Some highlights:
Lawrence Chapman with Maintenance Services noticed that the City of Lawrence was collecting trash more often than needed over summer and winter breaks. KU Facilities then partnered with the city to reduce the frequency of pickups, saving KU about $24,000 a year. The Jayhawks Elevate team discovered several KU units paid different document storage fees to the same vendor. The team renegotiated the pricing for an annual savings of $60,000 across the Lawrence and Medical Center campuses combined. Several other "success stories" can be viewed on the Jayhawks Elevate website.
As of March, an additional 53 ideas were being actively evaluated.
"People say, 'I don't have a $20 million idea.' We don't need a $20 million idea," Alexander said. "It'd be great if we had one, but we don't need that."

KU LAW TO HOST ANNUAL FEDERAL COURTS JUNIOR SCHOLARS WORKSHOP
The University of Kansas School of Law will host the 15th annual Federal Courts Junior Scholars Workshop, a selective national conference that brings together emerging and established legal scholars to exchange ideas, strengthen scholarship and build community within the field of federal courts. The 2026 workshop will take place April 24 in Green Hall on the Lawrence campus.
The workshop, which rotates among host institutions each year, is designed specifically for junior scholars - legal academics who are pre-tenure or early in their careers. This year's conference is organized by Sharon Brett, KU associate professor of law, who was selected to host the event by the Association of American Law Schools Section on Federal Courts and prior workshop hosts.
"It's been an incredible opportunity to get to know some senior scholars and get them to invest in the growth and development of more junior professors or future professors who will teach and write in federal courts," Brett said. "It has allowed me to connect with colleagues across the country and get to know their work and who they are and bring them together to have an engaging, substantive day on the area of the law that I write in personally."
The conference features a collaborative format in which junior scholars submit draft papers before the event for review by senior scholars from leading law schools. At the workshop, each paper is discussed in a structured session that begins with detailed commentary from a senior scholar, followed by questions and feedback from all participants.
This year's workshop will include five panels of full-length papers and a "lightning round" panel for early-stage projects. Topics span a wide range of issues within federal courts, including federalism, judicial precedent, remedies, civil rights litigation and substantive federal claims.

Darin Beck, vice provost and director of police training, presented Director's Awards to two members of the Overland Park Police Department, Robert Cree and Luis Adame, recognizing their actions during a serious crash on I-35 on March 20 while they were still in training at KLETC.
The officers were traveling home for the weekend and outside their jurisdiction when they came upon a single-vehicle collision in which three individuals were ejected.
Cree identified a victim suffering from a compound fracture to the right femur and severe bleeding. Using a tourniquet issued during his training in Tactical Combat Casualty Care, he was able to stop the bleeding and help save the individual's life.
Adame located a second ejected victim who had multiple injuries, including a head injury. Drawing on his training, he stabilized the individual and prevented bystanders from moving the victim, reducing the risk of further injury.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS CANCER CENTER: NEW APPROACH TO RELIGIOUS LITERACY AIMS TO FOSTER DEEPER UNDERSTANDING, AVERT CONFLICT
An estimated 10,000 religions exist worldwide. So how can people truly coexist if they are unable to understand their own and each other's religion?
That's the question addressed by Ryan Lemasters, a doctoral student in philosophy at the University of Kansas.
His new article titled "Interreligious attentiveness: A revised approach to religious literacy" argues that his titular approach works better than those endorsed by other scholars in the academic study of religion. He draws attention to their limitations by virtue of three challenges: conversion, multiple religious belonging and motivation. The article appears in Religious Studies, published by Cambridge University Press. Ryan Lemasters Ryan Lemasters
Lemasters first noted a gap in conventional theory when discussing religious affiliation with his university classes.
"It's common for students in my religious studies courses to reveal their religious affiliation," he said.
"For instance, I commonly hear, 'I'm a devout Catholic. I went to Catholic school. I wear a cross. I identify as one.' And I'm like, 'Oh, great. So can you tell me the seven sacraments?' They're like, 'Huh?' Scholars of religion identify these as basic tenets of Catholicism. That's the puzzle. They think their religion influences their beliefs, their worldview and their actions. They identify as Catholic. But when asked basic tenets of Catholicism, they fail miserably."

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS CANCER CENTER: RESEARCH FINDS EFFORTS TO END CHILD MARRIAGE IN MALAWI LEAVE OUT LOCAL KNOWLEDGE, CULTURE
Child marriage in Malawi has proven to be a persistent problem. Nearly 40% of girls are married by the age of 18 despite legal reforms.
New research from the University of Kansas draws on insights from those working on the issue in the country. Attempts to combat child marriage are often guided by well-intentioned approaches that do not always align and leave out key stakeholders and local knowledge, according to Linda Banda, a Malawi native and KU alumna.
Banda saw firsthand the negative cultural impact persistent child marriage had. Poverty, abuse and negative health outcomes for young women and their children are common outcomes for those married before 18.
"This is very personal to me. I've seen how this issue affects communities in deep ways," Banda said. "I worked as a child protection specialist for an INGO (international nongovernmental organization) in Malawi and witnessed how child marriage affects girls.
"Around 2013 we started advocating for ending child marriage, and a law setting the minimum age of marriage at 18 - called the Marriage, Divorce and Family Relations Act - was enacted in 2015. And then a constitutional amendment in 2017 raised the minimum age of marriage to 18, removing exceptions that had allowed marriage at 15 with parental consent."
Despite those legal reforms, the practice continued. As a doctoral student at KU, Banda began conducting research on the issue as part of her dissertation with Juliana Carlson, associate professor in the School of Social Welfare. For a recently published study, they interviewed more than 20 people working to end child marriage in Malawi, including local, national and international NGO workers, government officials, faith and local leaders, journalists and other stakeholders responsible for making decisions on which interventions to be implemented on ending child marriage.

A University of Kentucky Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment researcher is leading a new project that could help farmers fight some of agriculture's hardest-to-control insect pests with a method designed to hit the target and leave other insects alone.
S. Reddy Palli, a professor in the UK Department of Entomology, received $749,888 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture for a four-year project focused on improving RNA interference (RNAi) for managing lepidopteran pests, such as fall armyworm.
"RNAi is a process that can knock down key genes in a pest, shutting down functions the insect needs to survive," Palli said. "Researchers and companies have spent years studying it as a pest-control tool. This method has shown promise in some insects, especially beetles, but has not worked nearly as well in other insects like lepidopteran pests, the group that includes moths and butterflies."

UNIVERSITY OF LATVIA: SCIENCE PORTAL LAUNCHED: RESEARCH.LU.LV
The University of Latvia (UL) has launched the Science Portal - zinatne.lu.lv - which brings together in one place UL researchers' profiles and the results of their scientific activity. This is an important step in UL's development as a research university, strengthening international visibility and improving the quality of research data management.
"With the Science Portal, the work of UL researchers becomes more visible than ever before. It will promote recognition of researchers and their scientific contribution not only in the international scientific community, but also within the University and in Latvian society. The portal makes it possible to compile researchers' results and make them conveniently accessible both to cooperation partners and to the wider public," emphasizes UL Vice-Rector for Research Guntars Kitenbergs.
The Science Portal (zinatne.lu.lv) is the public part of UL's research information management system (RIMS), based on the internationally widely used system Pure. In Europe and elsewhere in the world, it is already used by more than 400 higher education institutions.
The portal ensures structured data recording and supports management and reportaing processes. This system brings together all of an institution's research information in one place. High-quality data integration provides greater control over the data, helping institutions make well-founded decisions based on reliable data in accordance with applicable regulatory enactments, and also serves as a basis for generating reports, ensuring transparency, and conducting in-depth analytics-including the responsible use of artificial intelligence.
In Latvia, the portal will also be used for submitting data to the Ministry of Education and Science. The portal enables efficient registration and analysis of research results by synchronising data with international registers and databases, including ORCID, Scopus and Web of Science.

On March 27 and April 4, the Digital Humanities Center (DHC) of the Faculty of Humanities (HZF) and the Library of the University of Latvia (LUB) organized two Ukrainian cultural heritage data workshops as citizen science activities within the framework of the AISTER project.
Participants included youth from the Ukrainian community and their friends from Young Folks LV, members of academia, and other interested individuals. Together, they helped to improve an Artificial Intelligence (AI) prototype's ability to recognize elements within images of Ukrainian ethnographic artifacts
The work took place on Europeana CrowdHeritage, a platform created for crowdsourcing campaigns using metadata from European cultural heritage institutions, utilizing a prototype developed by the AISTER project partner, Web2Learn.
The task for the workshop participants was to review the ethnographic collection of the online-museum of the traditional art of Ukraine "Krovets", evaluate the relevance of the keywords automatically generated by the digital tool's prototype to the images, and, if necessary, supplement them with their own descriptive variations. During the in-person workshops organized by DHC and LUB and separate remote sessions hosted by Web2Learn, nearly 55,000 annotations were prepared in this manner, which will help to improve the accessibility of digital cultural heritage artifacts.

UNIVERSITY OF MALTA: TRANSITIONING TO RESEARCH GRANTS FINANCE MANAGEMENT (RGFM)
The University of Malta is transitioning its research finance function to Research Grants Finance Management (RGFM), previously the Project Support Office (PSO). This change benchmarks the team against international university standards for the financial oversight of external research funding.
The shift to RGFM provides operational clarity by focusing on the financial management of complex research portfolios. To reflect the specialised nature of this work, roles have been reclassified as Grants Finance Executive (RGFE), ensuring that the professional standing of the team matches their responsibilities.
A Focused Financial Framework
The RGFM team is structured to provide financial oversight across two core pillars:
Pre-Award: Budgeting and financial compliance at proposal stage; vetting and processing of Grant and Consortium Agreements. Initial inquiries can be sent by email. Post-Award: Financial monitoring, reporting, and audit-readiness through to project closure. While you should continue to liaise with your dedicated RGFM contact for ongoing projects, general inquiries can be sent by email.
This framework ensures that the University's research projects are financially sound and audit-ready. The move to the Executive designation provides a clear interface for the academic community, ensuring that as research ambitions grow, the financial infrastructure remains robust and scalable.

REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN: FROM FRIEND TO FOE: AFTER A CHIMPANZEE GROUP SPLIT, CHIMPS BEGAN KILLING THEIR FORMER FRIENDS
After the large Ngogo chimpanzee group in Kibale National Park, Uganda, split into two, individuals in one group attacked and killed more than 20 members of the other group-chimps who had been their former friends and allies.
Prior to its split, the Ngogo group was unusually large. Chimpanzee groups typically comprise about 50 members, according to John Mitani, professor emeritus of anthropology at the University of Michigan. When he first began observing the Ngogo group, there were well over 100 members. Over time, the group grew to about 200 individuals. He and Yale University professor David Watts started the Ngogo Chimpanzee Project in 1995. John MitaniJohn Mitani
From 1998 to 2014, the chimpanzees lived together in a single group. In 2015, aggression between individuals of two subgroups living in the center and west erupted, with members in each isolating themselves from each other. In 2016, the western group sent a territorial patrol to the central group, and the males fought. Then, in 2018, members of the western group killed a young adult male from the central group. After that event, individuals in the two groups separated and stopped interacting socially, spatially and reproductively. Over the next seven years, members of the western group killed seven mature males and 17 infants.
Researchers have long known that chimpanzees will attack and kill their neighbors. But this finding, published in Science, was surprising because these chimpanzees were killing their former friends and allies, says Mitani, senior author of the study. For him, it highlights a key difference between chimpanzees and humans.
"Chimpanzees appear to consider outsiders as the enemy no matter who they are. One stark difference that exists between chimpanzees and humans is that we are an unusually prosocial and cooperative species," Mitani said. "We go out of our way to help and aid neighbors, some of whom may be total strangers.

Artificial intelligence can write text messages encouraging physical activity that most older adults consider appropriate and good quality, but their feelings about AI-and if they know AI wrote the message-impact their response, a new study in the Journals of Gerontology suggests.
The research is an important first step in helping health programs use AI to support large-scale behavior change, said lead author Allyson Tabaczynski, postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Michigan School of Kinesiology.
Tabaczynski and colleagues at U-M and Penn State University asked 630 adults aged 40 and older to read 80 AI-written text messages designed to motivate people to move more and sit less. Participants flagged any messages for cultural insensitivity and overall quality.

REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN: CUBA'S TRIPLE CRISIS: ECONOMY, POLITICS, SOCIETY
As Cuba grapples with an economic collapse, political instability and social unrest, the failure of the revolutionary model has reached a definitive turning point. Silvia PedrazaSilvia Pedraza
Silvia Pedraza is a professor of sociology and American culture at the University of Michigan who has spent years documenting the evolution of the Cuban Revolution and its impact on its citizens. Applying her expertise in the island's political shift and the resulting movement, she discusses how the loss of revolutionary legitimacy and the crumbling of state infrastructure have forced mass exodus.
What is the nature of the current multifaceted crisis facing Cuba and why is the revolutionary model considered a failure?
Economically, Cuba currently has nothing to export other than doctors. For most of its history, it was the world's leading sugar producer. But it failed to invest in repairing and upgrading its sugar mills, which sorely needed it. A few years before his death, Fidel Castro put the last nail in the coffin by shutting down more than half of them. Thus, today Cuba only has doctors to export, which is another problem-turning people into commodities and not giving the doctors adequate salaries for their work.
Politically, Cuba at present lacks legitimacy for its government. After Fidel Castro died, his messianic and charismatic leadership ended. His reign was followed by Raul Castro, his brother, who always supported him, backing him up with the military. Raul lacked Fidel's charisma-his ability to turn every problem in Cuba into a vision of the people's need to sacrifice for a better future. Raul was a reformer, and he tried to introduce some market reforms, allowing some self-employment in Cuba, though his reforms were not large enough to make a significant difference. Raul did succeed in the international scene, as, together with Obama, he restored political relations between Cuba and the U.S. Both Fidel and Raul had the legitimacy of having fought in the Cuban Revolution, rendering it victorious. Raul chose Miguel Diaz-Canel, the new president, as his successor. Diaz-Canel, however, lacks the legitimacy of the Revolution, is not at all charismatic, and has not been able to manage the Cuban economy to solve any of its problems.

UNIVERSITY OF MONTREAL: A BUILDING FIT FOR A COUNCIL, NOT A KING
To understand the political landscape, look at the architecture: that's what Universite de Montreal anthropology professor set out to do on a dig last year at the ancient Lowland Maya city of Ucanal, in Guatemala.
What she found there was evidence of a new kind of political architecture - council houses - that reflect a shift away from divine rule during the Maya's Terminal Classic period, around 810 to 1000 A.D.
Co-authored by UdeM graduate student Laurianne Gauthier and Proyecto Arqueológico Ucanal (PAU) co-director Carmen Ramos Hernandez, a study detailing Halperin's findings is published today in the journal Antiquity.
"The Terminal Classic period is known as a period of tremendous political instability and crisis, when the population of many sites in the Southern Maya Lowlands declined," Halperin noted. "How did Maya peoples rework their governing systems during this time of political instability?" Dynasties of kings dominated
Up until then, during the Classic period (c. 300 to 810 A.D.), governance in the Lowlands was characterized by a system of 'divine' monarchy, whereby a succession of dynastic kings controlled the populace and expressed their power through imposing palaces and pyramids.
By the Late Postclassic period (c. 1200 to 1521 A.D.), however, Maya governments relied heavily on council-based systems, in which political decisions were made through consensus and resulted from power-sharing between leaders.

UNIVERSITY OF MONTREAL: ONCE ACTIVE, ALWAYS ACTIVE
The numbers are sobering: nearly 80 per cent of the world's teenagers don't get enough physical activity, according to the World Health Organization. But a new longitudinal study from Universite de Montreal suggests the seeds of that sedentary lifestyle, or an active one, may be sown much earlier than anyone realized. Like when a child is two and a half years old.
Led by doctoral researcher Kianoush Harandian and UdeM psycho-education professor Linda S. Pagani, in collaboration with internationally recognized physical activity expert Dr. Mark Tremblay of the University of Ottawa, the study finds that three simple movement habits in toddlerhood, like active play with parents, limited screen time and sufficient sleep, significantly predict a more physically active lifestyle a full decade later.
"When we analyzed the data, we found that fewer than one child in ten naturally met all three daily movement recommendations: active play, limited screens and enough sleep," said Harandian. "And yet these early habits matter enormously. They lay the foundation for how children will choose to spend their time as adolescents."

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA MEDICAL CENTER: ANNUAL FACULTY AWARDS: AMY CANNELLA, MD
Amy Cannella, MD, will be the recipient of the Outstanding Teacher Award during the UNMC Faculty Senate annual meeting on April 15. The award recognizes faculty who exemplify excellence as a director of learning, advisor of students, facilitator of human relations and/or promoter of the improvement of educational quality at UNMC.
Name: Amy Cannella, MD Titles: Gerald F. Moore Professor in Rheumatology; program director, rheumatology fellowship program, and section chief of rheumatology, Omaha VA Hospital Joined UNMC: 2005 Hometown: Grand Island
What are the greatest rewards of teaching?
I truly enjoy watching the trajectory of learning from the M1 year through the end of residency or fellowship training. I am incredibly lucky to have a footprint in all levels of training at UNMC. Seeing medical students transitioning to competent, autonomous and compassionate physicians is the greatest reward of all.
Describe a moment in your career when you realized you had picked the right occupation.
I am reminded that this was the right choice when I am in a lecture hall, small group or one-on-one teaching, and I see the "aha" moment of comprehension. Nothing in my role as a clinician educator is about me; it is all about the learners and, ultimately, the patients they will serve.

UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS: INAUGURAL STATE OF AI IN GAMING REPORT ESTABLISHES BENCHMARK FOR AI PRACTICE AND POLICY ACROSS THE GLOBAL GAMBLING INDUSTRY
The UNLV International Gaming Institute's (IGI) AI Research Hub (AiR Hub) in collaboration with KPMG LLP, the U.S. audit, tax and advisory firm, today released The State of AI in Gaming 2026, the inaugural edition of an annual global benchmarking series tracking how artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping the global gambling industry.
"Society is at an inflection point with AI, and until now there has been no rigorous, independent baseline for understanding where the gambling industry stands," said Kasra Ghaharian, IGI's director of research and editor-in-chief of the report. "The State of AI in Gaming is designed to fill that gap, serving as an essential resource for operators, regulators, researchers, and every stakeholder navigating the adoption, return on investment, and responsible integration of AI within the gambling industry."
The report examines AI adoption across four dimensions: industry maturity, regulatory landscape, innovation pipeline, and responsible use. It draws on original survey research from 83 gambling companies and 113 regulators worldwide, a 15-year analysis of academic publications, patent filing data, and expert contributions. Key Findings at a Glance
Early-Stage Maturity. With an average score of 45 out of 100 on the report's AI Maturity Index, most gambling companies have strategic ambitions for AI but infrastructure and expertise need to catch up to scale it.
A Governance Gap. Governance scored lowest on the Maturity Index at just 30 out of 100. Only 1 in 5 companies have a dedicated AI governance role, and most organizations have no established policies or practices or are in early stages of development.

UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD MAKING HEALING DEVICES THAT DISAPPEAR
Dr Nair's work seeks to address a key gap within the healthcare sector: many patients recovering from injuries don't require lifelong implants, yet they do need weeks to months of active support to recover function.
Today that often means bulky devices, external hardware, or materials that must later be surgically removed (with the risks of infection, scarring and complications) - all of which can reduce quality of life. Although resorbable materials that break down in the body do exist, on their own they lack the tissue engineering properties needed to promote full recovery.
'For instance, in the heart and joints, regenerating tissues require precise electromechanical training that passive scaffolds cannot deliver,' says Dr Nair.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA: NEW FACULTY EXPLORE HOW INDIVIDUAL MINDS INFLUENCE GROUP BEHAVIOR
MindCORE, Penn's hub for the integrative study of the mind, brings together faculty across disciplines with diverse approaches to cognitive research. The core of cognitive science has focused on understanding an individual brain in isolation, faculty director Joseph Kable says, but a theme emerged in his conversations with faculty: a desire for more focus on the relationship between individual minds and group behavior.
In response, the center formed the Interconnected Minds cluster hire, seeking to hire multiple faculty members focused on understanding how individual minds influence group behavior and vice versa. Since 2023, three new faculty members have joined the School of Arts & Sciences under the cluster hire: linguist Marlyse Baptista, a neuroscientist Nacho Sanguinetti, and humanities scholar Fritz Breithaupt.
While each research interconnectedness in a different way, they also embody MindCORE's ethos of connecting faculty. "This is an example of how bringing people with novel approaches and novel ideas can enrich and be a multiplier," Kable says, "because not only are they doing their work, but they're also influencing other people at Penn."

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA: BEYOND ALGORITHMS: ENGINEERING JUDGMENT IN THE AGE OF AI
In his Technology, Ethics, & the Legal Landscape course, Justin "Gus" Hurwitz turns a question about self-driving cars turns into a debate about the value of human life. Should a company disable a feature if it might cause harm, even if that harm is statistically rare? How do you weigh what's reasonable against what's right? Whatever it does, how will the company explain its decision to a judge, a regulator, or an angry member of Congress?
For Hurwitz, senior fellow and academic director of the Center for Technology, Innovation & Competition at Penn Carey Law, those moments of discomfort are the point. His course is less about compliance and more about judgment-training engineers to stop, think, and recognize that every design decision has human consequences. "Engineering is never just technical," he tells his students. "It's about the systems we build, and the society we build around them."
This class captures the "AI + X" philosophy that defines a Penn Engineering Master's degree: AI engineers must understand not just algorithms, but accountability. "Engineering isn't just about building technology-it's about understanding how that technology impacts society," says Boon Thau Loo, senior associate dean for Education and Global Initiatives. "Gus's course brings that to life. It's the first collaboration between our law and engineering schools in the online space, and it sold out within days. That tells you how deeply students crave this kind of learning."
Gus helps engineers see law not as a constraint, but as a partner in building a more accountable tech future. For MSE-AI and MCIT students, it's proof that responsible AI isn't just an elective topic-it's the new professional baseline. What Gus is building isn't just a course-it's a new kind of literacy. When students practice trade-offs before they're executives, when they learn how negligence and design failure rhyme, when they recognize law as a form of collective memory, they stop treating ethics as an afterthought.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA: CAITLYN CHEN'S PATH TO BECOMING A PHYSICIAN-SCIENTIST
Who
Caitlyn Chen, from Boston, is a fourth-year undergraduate in the College of Arts & Sciences studying biochemistry, biophysics, and chemistry. She's also part of the Roy & Diana Vagelos Program in the Molecular Life Sciences (MLS), which provides mentored research experience for undergraduates pursuing applied natural sciences.
A daughter of engineers, she at first came to Penn with what she calls an "aversion" to engineering, before realizing that applying her interest in biochemistry to the possibilities of medical devices opened an exciting new research path.
The MLS program, she says, has supported that path by enabling her to conduct research in the lab of the MicroSensors and MicroActuators Group (MSMA), housed inside the Singh Center for Nanotechnology. There, she's taken an interest in microsensors used for medical devices, inspired by conversations with material scientists, physicians, biologists, and others.
[MLS] gave me the opportunity to gain as much scientific knowledge as possible, giving me the foundations to hopefully use them to do something good in the future," Chen says. "That's how I got interested in coming to Penn in the first place." What
After her work in the MSMA lab awakened her curiosity about engineering and medical devices, she considered what kind of an impact she could have to make medical advances in diagnostics more accessible.
"When I thought about how to improve device accessibility, the first thing that came to mind that could make the most impact was diagnostics," says Chen. "My research is focused on making these devices, or the fabrication process, much less expensive."
She's taken lot of inspiration from her chemistry and fundamental sciences background in the process, she adds.
Mark Allen, the Alfred Fitler Moore Professor of Electrical and Systems Engineering in the School of Engineering and Applied Science and director of MSMA, says Chen has primarily worked with a doctoral student in the lab on how sensors can measure the oxygen level in muscle for the diagnosis of mitochondrial disease. In collaboration with the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, his lab has investigated how to make otherwise invasive diagnostic procedures simpler by fabricating a microsensor.
"She has really functioned and performed at the level of a Ph.D. student and is fulfilling all the demands [of an undergraduate] while getting these very high-quality results," says Allen. "That's very unusual. I've rarely seen that."
Her path from here, he adds, will serve her well with understanding clinical problems and practice while boasting the strengths of a science background. Why
"While I was applying for grad school this cycle, I think I said in every single interview, 'I want to be a [principal investigator] one day,' " like Allen, says Chen, with a laugh.
The mentorship, she says, has allowed her to think more broadly and intentionally about the skills and creativity she brings to a project. "That's where this biomolecular inspiration came from," she says.
Because she grew up in a largely migrant community, where she witnessed a disparity of access, she's focused on rare diseases that impact those groups and present like other metabolic disorders, making detection difficult. That, she hopes, will improve long-term health outcomes.
As an undergraduate heavily involved in research, she was invited to participate as a member of Penn Forward's Research Strategy and Financing working group in fall 2025. There, she worked with faculty and staff to "invite the future in," she says. Through that group, she says, she generated ideas about how to advance resources for research while remaining committed to Penn's values.
"That balance is something I hadn't really considered before, and I was amazed the institution was really taking that seriously," Chen says.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA: PENN FOURTH-YEAR AWARDED DAVIS PROJECTS FOR PEACE GRANT
A University of Pennsylvania fourth-year in the College of Arts & Sciences has been chosen for a Kathryn Wasserman Davis Projects for Peace grant to help refugees in Jordan find protection from the heat and sun.
Hemza Tarawneh, of Milwaukee, is majoring in biology with a minor in chemistry. A first-generation American, his interests include advancing health equity and expanding access to care for underserved communities.
His project is among 142 projects nominated by 98 partner institutions chosen for the Projects for Peace program this year. It is the 18th project from Penn since the award was founded in 2007. The program aims to encourage student initiative, innovation, and entrepreneurship focusing on conflict prevention, resolution, or reconciliation.
Tarawneh's project, The Shade Program, will support the purchase and installation of shade structures to help women and children in two of Jordan's largest refugee camps live comfortably, safely, and with dignity. The structures will be portable, durable, and protect from UV radiation while withstanding desert winds, sun, and heat, and materials will be sourced from Jordanian vendors. The project will work in collaboration with partner organizations on the ground that run the Azraq and Za'atari refugee camps and will be involved in on-the-ground implementation.
Tarawneh's initiative prioritizes the highest-need sites and focuses on hospital-affiliated outdoor spaces and those near community centers. He has also been awarded the Huntington Public Service Award to continue implementing this project for the year following his Projects for Peace Summer Grant.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA: EXPLORING THE HISTORY OF NORTH AMERICAN PASTELS
Megan Baker is a Barra Foundation Fellow in Art and Material Culture at Penn's McNeil Center for Early American Studies, and a Ph.D. candidate in art history at the University of Delaware. Her dissertation, "Crayon Rebellion: The Material Politics of North American Pastels, 1758-1814," examines how the fragile pastel medium thrived as a documentary tool across North America during the age of Atlantic revolutions amid political instability and material scarcity. View large image Megan Baker Megan Baker is a Barra Foundation Fellow in Art and Material Culture at Penn's McNeil Center. (Image: Courtesy of McNeil Center for Early American Studies)
As the child of a historical archaeologist, "I grew up scraping my trowel through the soil of a late 17th-century English settler complex," Baker says. In her current research, she says "I find myself circling back to questions first raised in archaeology pits: How do we reconstruct a fragmented past? And what do materials left behind reveal about the human hands that made them and the worlds they inhabited?"
Her interest in her dissertation topic started when she was a museum intern. "I noticed an unusual number of pastel portraits made in 18th-century North America," she says. "Since the pastel technique was primarily associated with French artists, I was struck by a curious anomaly: Why and how did this 'French' medium gain such traction in the British American provinces during a moment of mounting political discord? As I dug deeper, I developed more questions about art's place in the story of the American Revolution. For instance, the Stamp Act of 1765 explicitly taxed art supplies including paper and pigment-both essential for making pastels-yet art historians had not explored the era's taxation through the lens of art-making."
"My dissertation investigates this pastel boom by tracing the material transit of supplies across the Atlantic and examining how artists adapted by sourcing local pigments," she says. "I look at how they deployed the medium in projects of civil and natural history, used portraiture to consolidate kinship networks, and documented the evolving political elite of the new United States."

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA: THE ARTEMIS II MISSION: REFLECTIONS ON AN EVER-EVOLVING RELATIONSHIP WITH SPACE EXPLORATION
For the first time since 1972, NASA sent humans back to lunar orbit, launching four crew members on a 10-day journey around the moon-at times passing beyond Earth's view (the "far side"). The goal of the Artemis II mission was to determine human capabilities in deep space to pave the way for long-term exploration and science on the lunar surface.
For those on Earth who followed the astronauts through posts and images, the mission represents something beyond engineering and technical achievement-it reflects the long-standing human fascination with what lies beyond Earth.
To understand this continued fascination and what this mission has revealed about the future of space exploration, Penn Today spoke with Gary Hatfield, the Adam Seybert Professor in Moral and Intellectual Philosophy at the School of Arts & Sciences (SAS); Sandra Gonzalez Bailon, the Carolyn Marvin Professor of Communication at the Annenberg School for Communication; and Sophie Silver, a Ph.D. candidate in the lab of Doug Jerolmack, Edmund J. and Louise W. Kahn Endowed Term Professor of Earth and Environmental Science at SAS. Gary Hatfield: How human perception and consciousness makes space feel profound
Since there have been humans, there has been fascination and response to the night sky, with its many stars and a few planets. Early recorded speculations suggest that the night sky was viewed as a dome or as a sphere studded with stars with the Earth at its center.

EXPERT OPINION: 'CHILDREN OF MIGRANTS LIVE UNDER A SHADOW OF EXCLUSION' - UP SOCIAL WORK EXPERTS
In schools, playgrounds and communities across South Africa, children are growing up learning that belonging is conditional. For some, a surname, darker skin tone or accent can mark them as "foreign". For others, exclusionary xenophobic language is normalised long before they can spell the words. The result is a generation of children - both migrants and citizens - quietly absorbing the message from adults that humanity can be divided into those who belong and those who do not. Those who do not belong are expected to be silenced and made invisible.

Certain plants are 'hyperaccumulators' that can extract toxic yet valuable metals from contaminated soils through their roots and shoots Brassicaceae species such as kale, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, mustard, and Brussels sprouts are known hyperaccumulators of the heavy metal thallium
UQ researchers say advanced scanning techniques now show Brassicaceae plants accumulate thallium in a way that could be ideal for metallurgical extraction and re-use in technologies
University of Queensland geochemist Dr Amelia Corzo-Remigio said powerful X-rays confirmed crops in the Brassicaceae family had strong 'phytomining' potential because of the mechanisms they evolved to extract traces of the metal thallium from polluted soil.
Dr Corzo-Remigio said kale, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, mustard, and Brussels sprouts were already known to 'accumulate' thallium and were therefore closely monitored for potential consumer and environmental health risks.

UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLANDINJECTABLE PEPTIDES ARE THE NEW ANTI‑AGEING TREND. BUT WHAT EVIDENCE DO WE HAVE THEY'RE SAFE FOR HUMANS
Injectable peptides are the new anti-ageing trend sweeping the beauty industry.
These compounds are promoted on social media as tools for skin repair, collagen production and "cellular rejuvenation". They are widely available online from overseas sellers, despite many peptides being unregulated in Australia.
But what's in them? And are they safe?
Earlier this year, three people in the United States were fined thousands of dollars for their role in providing peptide injections, at an anti-ageing festival in Las Vegas, to two women who later became critically ill. The pharmacy board was unable to determine why they got sick, and what precisely the serums contained.
Our work with colleagues at Steroid QNECT, a hotline where people can seek confidential advice about enhancement drugs, tell us people are already injecting peptides in Australia.
But regulation is not keeping up. And there are still major gaps in the evidence about whether peptides' anti-ageing claims stack up, and whether they are safe for humans.

UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND NEW TARO VARIETY OFFERS THE 'BEST OF BOTH WORLDS' AMID CLIMATE CHANGE
A breakthrough in breeding hybrids of one of Papua New Guinea's most culturally significant crops could solve growing problems caused by climate change in the Pacific nation.
The University of Queensland-led project, funded by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR), is investigating taro, a starchy, tuberous staple food grown in PNG for more than 9,000 years.
UQ plant scientist Dr Bradley Campbell said hotter temperatures, longer dry spells and the increasing coastal salinity put immense pressure on traditional crops like taro.
"Farmers are really feeling the impact, but hybrids made from the Dasheen and Eddoe taro varieties could be a potential solution," Dr Campbell said.
"Dasheen is a larger variety that perishes quickly and is highly vulnerable to drought, while Eddoe is smaller, and able to survive in the ground when conditions are dry."
Project partner Dr Tom Okpul from PNG's University of Technology produced fertile offspring from crossing the different varieties.

Delirium is often triggered by infection, surgery, pain, dehydration or medication, which affects up to 1 in 4 older adults during a hospital stay. However, many of its long‑term health impacts have not been fully understood.

WHAT: Rhode Island's economic performance to start 2026 remained how it was at the conclusion of 2025: the state is still in a recession, according to University of Rhode Island economist Leonard Lardaro. January's Current Conditions Index value, at 42, is eight points below January 2025.
It is the 10th time in the last 13 months that the CCI fell below 50. January was also the sixth consecutive month that the CCI was at 42-December's CCI was revised from 33 to 42 based on new data. Also, five of the CCI's 12 economic indicators showed improvement over last year.
Lardaro says the long-awaited revised labor market data had mixed results for Rhode Island. He says a number of key variables performed better in 2025 than believed. However, rates of change, which define momentum, did not necessarily change the macroeconomic picture, he says. In other words, Lardaro's conclusion is that Rhode Island's recession is ongoing.
Lardaro says Retail Sales, a critical economic indicator that has been a strength through almost the entire post-pandemic period, improved by 4.8%. Total Manufacturing Hours continued to improve, growing by 9%. Private Service-Producing Employment, a proxy for service-sector employment, rose by 0.7%-its first increase in four months.

UNIVERSITY OF SALFORD EXPERT COMMENT: WHAT THE UNDULY LENIENT SENTENCE REFORM MEANS FOR JUSTICE
In response to recent reforms to the Unduly Lenient Sentence (ULS) scheme, which allows certain criminal sentences to be reviewed if they are considered too lenient, Craig Smith, Lecturer in Law at the University of Salford, explains what the changes could mean for victims, defendants and the wider criminal justice system:
"The recent reform to the Unduly Lenient Sentence (ULS) scheme marks a significant development in the oversight of sentencing in England and Wales. The extension of the referral period from 28 days to six months, for eligible cases heard in the Crown Court, enhances the ability of victims and bereaved families to ask the Attorney General to refer sentences to the Court of Appeal (England and Wales) where there is concern that they are unduly lenient.
This reform reflects growing scrutiny of sentencing outcomes in several high-profile cases reported in the media. In a recent case covered by the BBC, concerns were raised following a sentence imposed in a serious violent offence, where the victim's family sought to challenge the outcome but were constrained by the strict 28-day time limit. Such cases illustrate the practical limitations of the previous framework. In that respect, the revised six-month timeframe is a welcome and necessary reform, recognising the practical and emotional realities faced by victims while allowing for more informed and considered decisions as to whether a sentence should be challenged.

UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD NEW LIFE-GIVING BRAIN CANCER CLINICAL TRIALS TO BE OFFERED TO PEOPLE IN SHEFFIELD
New ground-breaking clinical trials designed to improve survival and quality of life will be available in Sheffield for people with glioblastoma, the most common type of brain cancer.
Funded by Yorkshire Cancer Research, EPIC-GB is a £6.9 million programme led by experts at the University of Sheffield and the University of Glasgow, which aims to transform how drug treatments are tested for people with recurrent glioblastoma, helping patients access new and potentially life-extending treatment options.
Glioblastoma is the most common and fastest-growing brain cancer, with most patients experiencing recurrence within the first year. Unfortunately, many cancer drugs are ineffective at treating glioblastoma as they are unable to pass through the blood-brain barrier, a protective layer around the brain, and reach the tumour.

Although urine only makes up around one per cent of wastewater, it contains the majority of essential nutrients for plants, including nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
In a study published in the Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering, researchers looked into how these nutrients can be recovered and reused by concentrating urine into a fertiliser-rich stream. Using a low-energy process known as forward osmosis, the team were able to remove water and retain high levels of nutrients without the energy demands of conventional wastewater treatment technologies. The approach could reduce the burden on treatment plants while supporting more sustainable fertiliser production.

It also offers experienced University of Tartu researchers an excellent opportunity to attract talented young researchers to their research groups.
Since 2023, postdoctoral researchers wishing to come to Estonia can no longer apply directly to ETAG for a postdoctoral grant. Instead, they must begin the funding application process through the Marie SklodowskaCurie Actions, funded by the European Commission. Participants of this call will be the last ones eligible to also seek support from ETAG's internationalisation programme Mobilitas 3.0 in 2027.

UNIVERSITY OF TARTU THESIS: TRANSFER LEARNING BOOSTS ESTONIAN AI MODELS
A doctoral thesis at the University of Tartu reveals that effective Estonian-language artificial intelligence models can be developed despite limited data by utilizing cross-lingual transfer learning.
Modern language models require vast amounts of text, but Estonian, like many small languages, lacks sufficient digital data. This creates a key challenge regarding how to build capable models with scarce training data.
According to the recently defended thesis author, Hele-Andra Kuulmets, the solution lies not just in collecting more data, but in combining existing resources more intelligently.
Most language model methods have been developed for English and cannot be directly applied to smaller languages. This is where transfer learning comes in - reusing knowledge learned from one language to improve models in another. When models are trained on multiple languages, their internal representations begin to align, allowing what is learned in one language to support understanding in others.

While she's found inspiration in her hometown, the city known as the Live Music Capital of the World, UT Austin has given Hernandez the tools to grow as an artist. Through UTalent Records, the University's student-run record label, she's been able to perform, collaborate, and connect with Austin's local music community.

It is precisely this shared dimension of knowledge that continues to unite researchers and institutions around the world, beyond divisions.
Prof. Stefano Borgani, professor of Astrophysics and Cosmology, explains UniTS's commitment to this fascinating field of research.
"Observing the Universe with satellites from space makes it possible to remove the 'opaque veil' of the atmosphere, achieving a clarity in our understanding of cosmic structures that is difficult to obtain with ground-based telescopes. One such space telescope, Euclid of the European Space Agency (ESA), was launched on July 1, 2023, and is now providing an overview of the structure of the Universe on scales of several billion light-years, with a level of detail never reached before. By measuring with great precision the distance of tens of millions of galaxies and the effects of gravitational lensing for over a billion galaxies, Euclid will make it possible to address fundamental questions concerning our understanding of the Universe. A group of researchers from the Department of Physics of our University, in collaboration with colleagues from INAF - Astronomical Observatory of Trieste and SISSA, are active members of the Euclid Consortium, a collaboration of more than two thousand researchers, mostly European, with a significant component of colleagues from the United States and Canada. Researchers from our University play a key role, which also translates into responsibilities for coordinating working groups, in the study of the distribution of galaxies and galaxy clusters, also using advanced statistical 'Machine Learning' methods and high-performance computing infrastructures to create 'digital twins' of the Universe observed by Euclid. The ultimate goal of these analyses is to help shed light on the nature of Dark Matter and Dark Energy, on the fundamental laws governing the evolution of the Universe, as well as on the conditions that determined its very origin."

UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE: SYNTHETIC BACTERIA: FROM SWARMS TO LIFE-LIKE MATERIALS
Inspired by the collective dynamics of bacteria like E. coli and Bacillus subtilis, researchers at the University of Twente asked a simple but fundamental question: what happens when artificial swimmers are made rod-shaped rather than spherical, and how does shape control how they move as a group? "These dumb yet active rods follow only the laws of physics, which help to uncover the mechanics of collective bacterial behaviour," says Hanumantha Rao Vutukuri. Their findings appear on the cover of Science.
Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that cling to surfaces and resist removal. They form on medical implants and in water pipes, and are notoriously difficult to eliminate once established. Understanding how bacteria organise collectively is a precondition for learning how to disrupt them. That knowledge could reduce hospital-acquired infections and improve the safety of drinking-water systems. The challenge of studying bacteria
Bacteria are more than just their shape. They sense their environment, respond to chemical signals, and adapt their behaviour in real time. That biological complexity makes it difficult to isolate the physical principles that drive collective motion. Labelling single cells without disrupting their behaviour is technically demanding, and the sheer density of a bacterial colony makes it hard to follow what any one cell is doing.
To get around these obstacles, Vutukuri's team turned to synthetic colloidal rods. "We used synthetic rods because they are dumber than bacteria," says Vutukuri. "They don't sense food, they don't respond to signals. It's pure physics." That simplicity is precisely the point: by stripping away biological complexity, the researchers could study the role of shape alone.

UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE: SERIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP, CHESS TECHNOLOGY, BLUETOOTH CHIPS & A PHOTONIC CHIP FACTORY IN TWENTE
There is something particular about returning to the place where it all began. Not as a student, but as someone who now knows how it works - how an idea falls apart, how a team breaks down, how a company somehow makes it off the ground anyway. The Lustrum Alumni Days are, in that sense, more than a reunion. They are a mirror that shows you how far you have already come.
On Friday 8 May, two sessions are on the programme that capture exactly that feeling. Six speakers, each with a different story, each with the same starting point. Innovate or Checkmate: From Twente Roots to Global Impact
What makes Twente the ideal breeding ground for innovation? It sounds like a marketing line - but for Giels Brouwer and Maarten Kollen, it is simply their own history.
Giels Brouwer (Industrial Engineering & Management, 2007-2012) built one company after another after graduating. Serial entrepreneurship is not coincidence, it is a way of thinking. And that way of thinking started here, at the UT. Maarten Kollen (Communication Science, 2007-2014) has recently joined as CEO of DGT (Digital Game Technology), the world market leader in chess technology. He is building further on a company that has been reshaping the chess world for decades. Together with Roy Spit, CEO of Novel-T, they will discuss what they call 'High-Tech Noaberschap': the Twente combination of no-nonsense thinking, craftsmanship, and the instinct to build together rather than compete alone.

UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE: FROM CARPENTER'S EYE TO DIGITAL PRECISION
Operating based on experience with the help of data that predicts the outcome - that is the ambition of the team of researchers developing the Twente foot model. A unique collaboration between ZGT, MST and the University of Twente (research groups BMPI and BDDP) that aims to give patients with severe foot deformities a new life.
"The foot is very complex. There is so much involved," says trauma surgeon Wouter ten Cate of ZGT. For years, he has been treating patients whose nerves in their feet have been damaged by diabetes. "They can walk around all day with a pebble in their shoe without noticing. Or not feel a sprain and continue to walk with it."
The result? A diabetic foot and, in the worst case, a Charcot foot (a foot that becomes deformed due to nerve damage). The foot can become so severely deformed that patients can no longer walk. A disadvantage is that these patients often only come to the attention of the hospital when wounds or bone infections have already occurred. In many hospitals, amputation follows. But the diabetic foot team at ZGT, of which Ten Cate is a member, prefers to opt for reconstructive surgeries, which succeed in preserving the foot in 85% of the cases. But preservation is not the same as problem-free: complications occur regularly and, in many cases, the result is not as good as hoped.
"The problem is that the procedure is often performed with the surgeon's carpenter's eye rather than precise measurements," explains Ten Cate. "You straighten the foot and then occasionally you see that the postoperative result looks slightly different than you had envisioned."

THE UNIVERSITY OF VALENCIA AND INCLIVA INVESTIGATE NEW THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES TO TREAT HYPERTENSION AND KIDNEY DISEASES
A study by the University of Valencia (UV) and the INCLIVA Health Research Institute (University Clinical Hospital of Valencia) has found that a specific type of calcium channels - the T-type voltage-gated calcium channels (T-VGCCs) -affects the functioning of the aorta and the renal artery in different ways. The research is led by Maria Dolores Mauricio and Eva Serna, researchers in the Department of Physiology at the UV, who co-lead the ModulAhR research group.
The main objective of the study, published in Experimental Physiology, is to investigate these T-type calcium channels, which have been relatively little studied in blood vessels, and to determine their role in different vascular beds. The aim is to establish whether their activity contributes to increased blood pressure and, consequently, whether their blockade could provide an antihypertensive treatment.
The researchers observed a predominant role for these channels in the renal artery compared with the aorta. "This finding suggests that different blood vessels may use distinct mechanisms to regulate their tone and their ability to contract or dilate. A better understanding of how these channels function could be key to improving future treatments for hypertension and kidney diseases, as both conditions are linked to alterations in circulation and in calcium regulation within the muscle cells of the arteries", explains Maria Dolores Mauricio, who is also coordinator of the Vascular Function Research Group at INCLIVA and a researcher at the Biomedical Research Networking Centre for Cardiovascular Diseases (CIBERCV).
At present, the most extensively studied calcium channel blockers used as antihypertensive agents are L-type channels (L-VGCCs). In small arteries within the kidney, however, not only L-type but also T-type calcium channels are present. Given the importance of the renal system in regulating blood pressure, understanding the role of T-type calcium channels could be highly relevant for the treatment of hypertension.

THE ORIGIN OF THE WEASEL FAMILY ADVANCES THREE MILLION YEARS IN A STUDY WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF THE UV
The discovery of a new genus and species of small carnivore called Galanthis baskini at the site of Les Casiones (Teruel) shows that the origin of the subfamily Mustelinae - to which weasels, ferrets and minks belong - is older than previously thought and dates back to the end of the Miocene, about 6.5 million years ago.
The study, led by the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM), has the participation of the University of Valencia and has been published this Tuesday, April 14, in the journal Palaeontology. Until now, the oldest weasel fossils had been found in Poland and Germany at Pliocene sites of about 3.5 million years old, and therefore this new discovery doubles the evolutionary history of the species.
As Juan Abella, professor of Palaeontology at the University of Valencia, explains, the discovery is the result of the revision of the fossil collection of the National Museum of Natural Sciences (MNCN-CSIC), which gives relevance to the continuity of research activity within the palaeontological collections themselves. "The fossils were found in Teruel, but they had not yet been studied. This discovery highlights the need to continue reviewing the collections, even if they are old," he warned.
On the analysis of the remains, it has been known that this relative of the weasels already had a very small body size, 134 grams, similar to that of the lesser weasel (Mustela nivalis), the smallest carnivore at present. However, the research team highlights that their teeth already show adaptations typical of a highly carnivorous diet. The results allow us to better understand when and how weasels and their close relatives emerged, as well as the adaptations that allowed them to occupy new ecological niches and the evolution of ecosystems in the northern hemisphere.
"The finding suggests that the reduction in size and adaptations to capture small vertebrates appeared very early in the evolutionary history of this group, probably in relation to environmental changes and the expansion of certain rodents during the late Miocene," says Alberto Valenciano, assistant professor of Paleontology at the UCM.

UNIVERSITY OF VALENCIA NATURE PUBLISHES THE MOST ACCURATE CALCULATION OF THE STRONG COUPLING CONSTANT, WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF IFIC
The prestigious journal Nature has published this Thursday, April 9, the most precise determination to date of the strong coupling constant, the parameter that governs the interactions between quarks and gluons - fundamental components of nuclear matter. The study, the result of a European collaboration, has the participation of Alberto Ramos, researcher at the Institute of Corpuscular Physics, IFIC, a joint centre of the Spanish National Research Council and the University of Valencia.
The result doubles the accuracy of all previous experimental measurements combined, and sets the most accurate reference value for this parameter of the standard model. This improvement will allow a more precise characterization of the interaction between quarks, with direct implications for both theoretical physics and the interpretation of data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. In turn, it will have an impact on precision studies of the Higgs boson and on physics searches beyond the Standard Model.
Strong interaction is one of the four fundamental forces of nature, along with electromagnetism, gravity, and weak interaction. Just as electrically charged particles exchange photons and are attracted or repelled by electromagnetism, quarks - which possess a type of "charge" called color - exchange gluons and interact with them according to the laws of strong interaction. The strong coupling constant measures the intensity of this interaction; is a fundamental parameter of the Standard Model and is essential to interpret the experimental results of the LHC, where the protons that collide are precisely composed of quarks joined by this interaction.
This force behaves in an extraordinary way: unlike the others, its intensity increases with distance. This property forces quarks to remain grouped in neutral-colored charge states - protons, neutrons and other composite particles - and makes it impossible to observe them in isolation. This phenomenon, called confinement, makes it difficult not only to study the interactions between quarks, but also to precisely determine the strong coupling constant, since it requires modeling how they are trapped inside compound particles.

The research group Memory Novels Lab. Laboratory of Literature of Memory, promoted by the Department of Spanish Philology of the University of Valencia and dedicated to the study of the literary representations of the Spanish Civil War, the Franco regime and its cultural memories, has created the MNLAB database, a digital infrastructure designed to map and analyse literary production linked to the memory of the War and the subsequent dictatorship. So far, the project has worked mainly with the 1990-2025 time frame, a period that coincides with the editorial, academic and critical consolidation of memoiristic narrative in Spain.
The laboratory is directed by Jose Martinez Rubio and Luz C. Souto and brings together researchers from several universities from an interdisciplinary perspective that combines literary studies, memory studies and digital humanities methodologies. In this first phase, nearly 2,500 novels have been registered with basic bibliographic data, of which approximately 500 have a complete analysis based on a system of literary metadata that allows aspects such as chronology, narrative spaces, themes, characters, historical frameworks or intertextual relationships to be studied.
In addition, more than a hundred novels incorporate academic video reviews, prepared within the framework of teaching innovation projects, which seek to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and the integration of research in university classrooms. The architecture of the database and its possibilities for the analysis of memoiristic literature have been developed in Del archivo al algoritmo: la base de datos MNLAB y la memoria literaria de la Guerra Civil espaNola (Souto, 2025) and are currently being prepared, both by the directors and by the team, various applied studies.

UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK: KEEP YOUR HAT ON: WHY HEADWEAR MATTERED MORE THAN MONEY IN 17TH AND 18TH CENTURY ENGLAND
Today, whether or not to remove your hat is a matter of personal preference. But 400 years ago, refusing to doff ('do off') your hat could be an act of political resistance, according to new research published in The Historical Journal.
The study, led by the aptly-named Professor Bernard Capp, Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Warwick and a specialist in the English Civil War period, uncovers a world in which headwear spoke volumes.
"Long before the civil wars, men and boys were expected to doff their hats, indoors or out, whenever they met a superior," Professor Capp says. "That was about respecting your place in society, but in the revolutionary 1640s and 1650s, hat-honour became a real gesture of defiance in the political sphere."
"In one memorable 1630 case, an oatmeal maker hauled before a church court briefly removed his hat out of respect for his privy councillor judges, but as soon as he learned that some judges were also bishops, he said, "as ye are rags of the Beast, lo! - I put it on again". 1650 portrait of a young artist wearing a hat A young man from the 1650s wearing a hat
Such acts were not isolated: radical Leveller John Lilburne resolved to appear before the House of Lords "with my hat upon my head, and to stop my eares when they read my Charge, in detestation." Even King Charles I kept his hat on during his trial, rejecting the court's authority. Hats had become a language of protest.
A very seventeenth-century grounding
Not all hat-related drama played out on the national stage. A teenage dispute turned into a battle of wills fought entirely through headwear when, in 1659, 19-year-old Thomas Ellwood's father attempted to ground his son by confiscating all his hats. The result was that Thomas spent months trapped in the house "under a kind of Confinement, unless I would have run about the Country bare-headed, like a Mad-Man."

Weasels are small carnivores with a long body and short legs. They also have a stout skull and sharp teeth. These creatures, along with ferrets and minks, make up the Mustelinae subfamily.
Until now, researchers believed that the oldest fossils from this family were from Poland and Germany, dating back to about 3.5 million years ago in the Pliocene epoch.

UNIVERSITY OF WINDSOR: CO-EXISTING ON CAMPUS WITH CANADA GEESE
While warmer spring weather seems to be slow to arrive this year, one of the surest signs of spring on campus is the often-noisy activity of Canada geese.
Whether honking from the rooftops of tall buildings or nesting in the grass - or occasionally hissing at a passer-by who comes too close - Canada geese are ubiquitous at the University of Windsor.
Professor of ornithology and avian expert Dr. Dan Mennill explains the changes that springtime brings to goose behaviour and how we can all peacefully co-exist with our goose neighbours this season and throughout the year.
"In fall and winter, we are accustomed to seeing Canada geese in groups," Mennill explains. "They create an army of lawn mowers for our campus and surrounding green spaces. They may even stop traffic as their flocks cross Riverside Drive."
In the springtime, these groups break up, and geese pair up for breeding season.
"A sure sign that spring is going to arrive is when Canada geese are seen strutting around campus in pairs," Mennill says.
"Many of the geese that over-wintered on our campus head north to breed. Others will remain here and reproduce on campus."
For those that stay local, springtime - and with it the breeding season - can increase territorial behaviour among geese.
"It is not uncommon for geese to arch their necks and hiss at passersby," Mennill explains.
"As long as we keep our distance, they are not likely to physically rush at people."
He advises giving the geese their space, especially during springtime breeding activities, to avoid any unnecessary confrontations.

WINDSOR LAW GRAD HONOURED WITH INAUGURAL SIDNEY B. LINDEN STUDENT AWARD
Jamie Holmes sees the law as more than a career choice.
For her, it's a way to make a real difference.
Her commitment to advance access to justice for Indigenous communities has earned her the inaugural Sidney B. Linden Student Award.
Holmes, an alumna of Windsor Law (JD '25) and current Master of Laws (LLM) candidate, received the honour from Legal Aid Ontario for her work improving legal services for First Nations, Inuit and Metis parents, children and families.
For Holmes, a Mohawk woman of the Turtle Clan from Six Nations of the Grand River, the recognition is deeply meaningful both personally and professionally.
"Receiving the inaugural Sidney B. Linden Student Award means a lot to me personally," she said. "I've dedicated much of my adult life to Indigenous justice issues, so to have this work recognized is a true honour."
Holmes is currently an articling student in Legal Aid Ontario's Indigenous Services Department. Her work also includes research with the Law Foundation of Ontario focused on legal education reform and how the system can better support Indigenous families navigating child protection.
Her dedication to this work was shaped in large part by her time at Windsor Law.
"I completed my JD at Windsor Law and came back for my LLM because of its access to justice focus. Having faculty who believe in access to justice not just in theory, but in practice, is incredibly important," Holmes said.
She credits mentors at Windsor Law including professors Gemma Smyth, Sylvia McAdam and Janice Makokis with helping shape her path.

UNIVERSITY OF WINDSOR: GOING FOR GOLD: STUDENT GROUP EARNS RECOGNITION FOR EXERCISE IS MEDICINE INITIATIVE
Whether it's hitting a daily step goal, taking a stretch break at the office or dropping into a spin class, regular physical activity has undeniable benefits.
Exercise is Medicine (EIM) is a global initiative that aims to make the most of these benefits by encouraging health-care providers to prescribe exercise as part of evidence-based patient care.
On campuses across the country, EIM clubs bring together students under the mentorship of faculty, as well as health-care and exercise professionals, in support of this mission.
UWindsor EIM club president and third-year Human Kinetics student Travis Woods recently received news that the University of Windsor has earned gold-level recognition from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) for its EIM activities.
Woods, who became involved with the club last spring, admits that he did not expect the gold designation so soon, as UWindsor's EIM club has been at the bronze level for several years.
"I thought initially, if I am president for two years, maybe by the end of my last year we'll get up to gold," says Woods.
"Then in September, we started getting it off the ground, doing more events, and we decided we were going to go for it."
When he received word of the gold designation, Woods says he was overwhelmed.
"There's always that little piece of you that thinks you might get a 'no' on the application," he says. "It took me a few hours to let it sink in when we got accepted."
The process of going for gold was not an easy one, with the club required to put on events, engage in educational outreach and facilitate an exercise prescription program, among other activities, to be eligible.
In addition to planning the Move for Mason charity triathlon, EIM on campus began sending representatives into Lancer Recreation group fitness classes for short health-promotion segments.

UWINDSOR INVENTORS SECURE U.S. PATENT FOR INNOVATIVE BIOSENSOR TECHNOLOGY
Research out of a University of Windsor engineering lab has generated an electronic chip that could precisely detect viruses such as COVID-19 - at a cost of just pennies to produce.
The electronic device has received a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Dr. Mitra Mirhassani says the idea emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic, inspired by her former PhD student, Dr. Hamidreza Esmaeili Taheri.
"He was working on hardware security when COVID happened," says Mirhassani.
"There was a shortage of chemical COVID tests, and my student came to me and said, 'What if we developed a COVID sensor that can actually be adjusted?'"
Unlike traditional chemical-based tests, the electronic biosensor's sensitivity levels can be recalibrated to match identifiers across different applications.
"We wanted something that was small, low-cost, easy to manufacture, with a long battery life and a long shelf life," says Mirhassani.
"It's going to be less than a penny if we can manage to manufacture it at large volumes."
Funded by a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) grant, the research team designed a durable and adaptable tool.
"I was very happy with this student coming up with this idea," she says.
Though the original inspiration was COVID-19 testing, the sensor's potential extends beyond infectious disease testing. Mirhassani says the team has considered the possibility for using it to monitor blood sugar and glucose levels.

EVENTS CALENDAR: A KALEIDOSCOPE OF PATHS: UWINDSOR VISUAL ARTS GRADUATES OPEN THEIR FINAL UNDERGRADUATE EXHIBITION
The creative path is rarely linear, often shaped by trial, error and continual reassessment.
For the graduating visual arts students at the University of Windsor, it has been marked by experimentation, reconsideration and change - a journey now brought into focus through their final undergraduate exhibition, Kaleidoscope.
Kaleidoscope, the Bachelor of Fine Arts thesis exhibition for the University of Windsor's 2026 graduating class, opens April 13 at the School of Creative Arts Gallery in the Armouries building. Running until April 25, the exhibition brings together work by 18 students whose approaches span a range of media, concepts and processes, all arriving at a shared moment after years of individual creative exploration.
As both a title and a metaphor, Kaleidoscope reflects the exhibition's unifying idea. Like the optical instrument, the show presents distinct elements that maintain their individuality while forming a cohesive visual experience - one shaped by decision-making, risk-taking and reflection.
Many students entered the program with firm expectations of what art school would be like, only to find that those assumptions evolved over time.
Sabrina Tesolin recalled expecting a traditional, studio‑focused education grounded in classical training. "I thought art school was going to be more classical training and always in the studio," she said.
Allison Ware shared a similar sense of uncertainty at the outset. She initially expected a largely traditional approach to visual education but quickly discovered that foundational lessons would later become essential tools.
"As a fourth‑year student, I look back to those lessons every time I start a new project," said Ware, reflecting on the importance of early fundamentals training in colour theory, perspective and design.

SHAPING THE NEXT GENERATION: UWINDSOR CO-OP SUPERVISOR EARNS TOP HONOUR
Michael Joyce (BComp '25) still remembers arriving at work as a co-op student, unsure of what questions he was allowed to ask - or whether he belonged in the room.
Now, he is the one making sure students never feel that way.
Joyce, a software designer at DuroByte, was among seven professionals recognized Wednesday, April 1, at the University of Windsor's Co-op and Experiential Learning Awards ceremony. He received the Outstanding Co-op Supervisor Award for the Summer 2025 work term - a milestone that marks his evolution from student learner to workplace mentor.
"He was a co-op student, was hired by his co-op employer, and is now a co-op supervisor," said Sandra Davis, co-op employer relations co-ordinator and master of ceremonies. "That's the kind of story that really captures what this program is about."
The annual awards celebrate employers, supervisors and students who have gone above and beyond in experiential learning placements. Speakers emphasized that co-op is not simply about earning course credit, but about building confidence, practical skills and professional identity before graduation.
That employer commitment was reflected in this year's Co-op Employer of the Year recipient. NextStar Energy, honoured for 2025, pointed to experiential learning as a long-term investment in both students and industry.
"By investing in highly skilled local students, we're creating a strong talent pipeline and laying the foundation for NextStar Energy's long-term growth and success," said Brett Hillock, the company's chief operating officer. "Our co-op students have a rare opportunity to experience some of the most advanced battery technology in an environment where they can learn, grow, and contribute to our daily operations as part of the team."

UWINDSOR STUDENTS PUT 67 HIGH SCHOOLERS IN THE UN, GRADE 9 STUDENT WON BEST DELEGATE
More than 65 high school students from across Windsor-Essex spent a day as international delegates, debating global issues and negotiating resolutions.
The University of Windsor's Model United Nations team hosted its annual conference this semester for a day of debate, negotiation and collaboration.
"It was amazing to have a room full of so many people," said Model UN president and secretary-general Matthew Najem.
"I was very nervous in high school and never would have participated in something like this or had the confidence to speak in front of so many people, debate and share my ideas. That's why I was so proud of all the participants - I wanted them to know they were here to have fun and have their voices heard."
Delegates were divided into two committees, Security Council and General Assembly, and given a country to represent along with a pressing issue to address.
The Security Council was charged with responding to the simulated Jan. 3 capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by the United States.
"They received background guides on the Venezuelan case and conducted research before entering the simulation, where they drafted resolutions, delivered speeches and debated," said UWindsor team VP and deputy SG Taibat Idris, who chaired the event with Najem.
"Even though it was an issue mostly between the UN, U.S. and Venezuela, the United Kingdom delegate was able to bring about a resolution that would most benefit Venezuela with really great ideas to increase humanitarian and military aid - acting like a great ally."

UWINDSOR DOCTORAL STUDENT SHAPING POLICY IN CORRECTIONAL NURSING
When Corina Forai Makore began her PhD at the University of Windsor, she wasn't just pursuing a long-held personal goal, she was equipping herself to change a system.
As healthcare manager at the South West Detention Centre in Windsor, Makore leads 50 nurses and oversees a 10-bed infirmary providing 24/7 care for incarcerated patients.
At the same time, she is a scholar using her doctoral research to guide policy reform and strengthen correctional nursing in Ontario.
Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Makore was inspired by her mother to become a nurse.
"She was a nurse, and she talked to me a lot about helping other people," Makore says. "It stuck."
After earning her associate's degree in nursing in 1990, she relocated to the United States where she went on to complete a Bachelor of Science in nursing and a dual master's in nursing administration and public health. She built a strong career in nursing leadership before moving to Windsor in 2021 to support her sister through a battle with cancer.
Correctional nursing was not part of Makore's plan.
What began as a role to fulfill the College of Nurses of Ontario license requirements quickly evolved.
Soon after starting as a registered nurse at the South West Detention Centre, she successfully applied for the healthcare manager position. Nearly five years later, she has grown deeply committed to the field - and is determined to improve it.
That determination is now central to her doctoral work at the University of Windsor. Correctional healthcare is the focus of her PhD research.
"I want to be instrumental to the body of nursing," she says. "If I can contribute something meaningful before I retire, I will be happy."
Through her studies, Makore examines trauma-informed care in correctional environments where restrictive, punitive practices can retraumatize individuals with complex histories. Nurses are often the first clinical contact during intake, placing them in a critical position to recognize trauma early and prevent further harm.

Zahner, former associate dean for faculty affairs and Vilas Distinguished Achievement professor, has served in the role since Nov. 30, 2025, upon the passing of Dean Emerit Linda Scott. Zahner brings 24 years of faculty and leadership experience to the role.
Following the visit of three dean finalists in March, the university has opted not to move ahead with a permanent dean hire in the short term, says Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs John Zumbrunnen.
"I'm thankful for Susan's steady leadership and continued willingness to serve," he says. "I'm also confident in both the school's ability to move forward in the short term and our ability to recruit and hire a new dean for the future."
Zumbrunnen will engage with faculty, staff and students to launch a new search after this academic year.

UW-MADISON AGAIN NAMED A 'NEW IVY' BY FORBES
The University of Wisconsin-Madison has again been named a "new Ivy" by Forbes magazine, honored as one of 10 public and 10 private universities across the United States that are best "preparing and graduating the talent that employers will see in this new era."
UW-Madison was also included on the Forbes list of "new Ivies" producing top job prospects in 2024. This year, however, the rise of artificial intelligence and its impact on future talent and hiring needs of business played a key role in the determination of the top 20. The honorees were chosen with the help of a survey of more than 100 C-suite and hiring executives, who were asked to rate schools while also explaining how AI was changing their outlook on the hiring of new grads.
Forbes reported a shift in the business world's perceptions. "The most promising talents today are beginning to emerge from institutions that prioritize intellectual rigor over inherited prestige," one of the survey's C-suite respondents noted. The ideal graduate entering the workforce in the age of AI will be grounded in an education that emphasizes the very human traits of "complex emotional intelligence, radical adaptability and visionary creativity to orchestrate AI tools rather than compete with them," the respondent told Forbes.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON THE BADGERS ARE BACK
On Thursday evening, the UW men's hockey team upset No. 2 North Dakota to advance to the NCAA championship game for the first time in 16 years. In front of thousands of their fans at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the Badgers scored two goals in the span of 27 seconds in the first period and never looked back in a dominant Frozen Four performance.
Senior forward Simon Tassy got the scoring started with seven minutes left in the first period. Sophomore forward Ryan Botterill followed with a quick strike of his own, leaving North Dakota visibly stunned and giving UW the 2-0 lead. That score would hold until the final minute of the game, when the Fighting Hawks found the net after pulling their goalie. But then UW's swarming defense closed the door on the 2-1 win, adding another chapter to the program's remarkable turnaround under head coach Mike Hastings.
Freshman goalie Daniel Hauser was a sensation, saving 21 shots on goal while thwarting North Dakota's five power plays. During a pivotal moment in the second period, a 5-on-3 opportunity for the Fighting Hawks turned into a 5-on-2 when Badger captain Ben Dexheimer went down with an injury after blocking a North Dakota shot with his ankle. The Badgers escaped unscathed, and Dexheimer later returned to the game (because, well, hockey players).

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON NEW STUDY CHALLENGES BLEAK PICTURE OF U.S. STATE GAPS IN LONGEVITY GAINS
A new study co-authored by two University of Wisconsin-Madison professors suggests longevity gains across all states and regions for people born between 1941 and 2000, in contrast to previous estimates suggesting a century of stagnation or even declines in parts of the South.
Published in the journal BMJ Open, the study by Hector Pifarre i Arolas and Jason Fletcher of the La Follette School of Public Affairs, along with Jose Andrade of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, challenges recent estimates that portrayed progress on extending longevity in the United States as sharply divergent across states and regions.
Using new data from the United States Mortality Database, their updated analyses suggest substantially less disparity in longevity gains since the mid-20th century than a recent paper led by Theodore Holford of the Yale School of Public Health and colleagues. Rather than a simple story of steady divergence, the new study describes a more complex, two-phase pattern: rapid convergence in mid-century, when Southern states made up lost ground with much of the rest of the country-driven in large part by gains in child survival in the South-followed by a second phase in which that convergence largely stalled over the second half of the 20th century.
"Our forecasts point to universal gains in cohort life expectancy between 1941 and 2000 for all birth cohorts, sexes, and states," Pifarre i Arolas says. "States are not expected to experience equal gains in longevity, and convergence across states appears to have stalled since the 1950s, but we find no evidence of the radical increase in disparities across states suggested by some earlier estimates."

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON A PROUD DAY TO BE A BADGER, EVEN IN DEFEAT
If there was ever a season that captured the resilience and promise of a team, the 2025-26 Badger men's hockey season was it. The team may have fallen just short of their 10th NCAA title on Saturday, but they proved (not unlike their animal moniker) to be relentless and hungry, taking down higher ranked schools as they battled their way to the Frozen Four - a first for each player on the team - and on to the championship game against the University of Denver.
In fact, many wouldn't have chosen the Badgers as a top contender for the NCAA championship at all when the draw was first announced in March. In January, they had clocked six consecutive losses and then dropped their very first matchup of the Big Ten Tournament. What could have defined the trajectory of their season instead became a turning point for the team. According to Coach Mike Hastings, these notable losses prepared them to take on the challenges that come with a championship run.
And run they did.

he annual Varsity Band Spring Concert holds a certain uniqueness for the University of Wisconsin Marching Band. For one, band members aren't rushing around a football field.
"The only thing you have to focus on is playing," says Chaney Chapman, a senior trumpet player.
The UW Marching Band season spans the academic year and hundreds of athletic and hired performances. Often, the band is one piece of the entertainment: performing the halftime show of a football game, filling up the breaks in a basketball or hockey game, delighting attendees of a Badger-filled wedding. But as the grand finale of the season, the Varsity Band Spring Concert serves as an opportunity to perform to an audience that has gathered solely to celebrate the band.
The 50th Spring Concert will be held on April 17 and 18 at the Kohl Center, featuring classic UW-Madison hits alongside the music of Lady Gaga, Rihanna and "Wicked." According to Director Corey Pompey, the performance gives the band the "chance to let our hair down, sit back and play and enjoy ourselves." It also demonstrates the growth of individuals and relationships within the band community. And that growth inspires the music.

When research shows that children's repeated exposure to gaming is associated with higher odds of a gambling addiction in early adulthood, the issue moves beyond policing 'screen time' and placing the responsibility purely in parents' hands. The system itself needs to change to keep children out of harm's way. This was a key insight raised in the Wits Mandela Institute's webinar: Grooming minors through gambling-like gaming practice.

Arqus took part in the 24th Conference of the Spanish University Network for Postgraduate Studies and Permanent Education (RUEPEP), organised in collaboration with the Vice-Rectorate for Postgraduate and Permanent Education at the University of Granada.
This well-established forum brings together universities and professionals engaged in permanent education to reflect on current and future challenges in postgraduate studies. The 2026 edition focused on key issues such as digital transformation, internationalisation, employability and the social commitment of higher education institutions.
Within this framework, Dorothy Kelly, Arqus Coordinator, contributed to a roundtable addressing the role of European university alliances in permanent education. Her participation highlighted the importance of collaboration across institutions to strengthen postgraduate and permanent education in an international context.
Across the programme, participants explored strategic topics including cooperation with businesses and public administrations, new funding approaches such as endowed chairs and sponsorship-based initiatives, and the role of university-specific programmes within European alliances. Discussions also addressed how internationalisation strategies can reinforce permanent education in a rapidly evolving global socio-economic environment.
RUEPEP 2026 is aimed at academic leaders, university managers, teaching staff, researchers, and stakeholders involved in postgraduate and permanent education. The meeting fosters the exchange of experiences, the creation of collaborative networks and the development of policies and practices that strengthen the strategic role of this area in 21st-century universities.

A new collaboration between Western University and the University of Bristol will allow U.K. law graduates to complete a Canadian law degree in less time.
The pathway is tailored to Bristol law graduates with a bachelor of law degree (LLB) who are seeking a juris doctor (JD), which provides eligibility for the bar exam and opens opportunities to pursue legal careers in Canada.
The two universities signed a memorandum of understanding in March, with the program announced by Western Law dean Mohamed Khimji during a visit to University of Bristol Law School.
"This is a fantastic new partnership between two strong law schools. We are creating a direct pathway for Bristol graduates to join Western's Faculty of Law and build their careers in North America," said Khimji. "There is significant interest from students who have completed their law degrees in the U.K. and want to pursue opportunities in Canada, and we look forward to welcoming Bristol's strongest graduates to our campus."

WESTERN UNIVERSITY: EXPERT INSIGHT: 'THE BACHELORETTE' CANCELLATION REVEALS GENDERED EXPECTATIONS AROUND VIOLENCE
The recent cancellation of the reality TV show The Bachelorette at first glance appears to be a routine network response to save face as alarming information about a star becomes public.
Network executives stated that the decision was made "in light of the newly released video" involving a 2023 incident when the latest scheduled season's main cast member, Mormon mom influencer Taylor Frankie Paul, is seen attacking her ex-partner in the presence of her child.
At the time of the altercation, Paul was arrested on several charges, including domestic violence in the presence of a child, and later pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, with the remaining charges dismissed. She has been on probation ever since.
According to a spokesperson for Paul, she is "very grateful for ABC's support as she prioritizes her family's safety and security. After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm."
But the cancellation of the show highlights important societal biases deeply rooted in gender inequities and the perpetuation of patriarchal norms. It underscores a longstanding truth: women who use violence are often held accountable for their actions, while men are rarely held to the same standards. Especially when fame is involved.

WESTERN UNIVERSITY: EXPERT INSIGHT: HOW TO DEVELOP CHILDRENS MOTOR SKILLS THROUGH PLAY AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Motor skills are foundational for a lifetime of movement. For children, they play a vital role not only in facilitating physical activity levels but also for cognitive and socio-emotional development and school readiness.
Motor skills are broadly separated into two groups: fine and gross motor skills. Fine motor skills are movements that use smaller muscles, specifically related to the hand, like grasping a pen. Gross motor skills are movements that use larger muscles, and these can be categorized into three main groups:
1) Locomotor skills, which include movement co-ordinated in a specific direction, to transport the body from one location to another (like walking, running, jumping, hopping);
2) Object control skills, or manipulative skills, which involve controlling, manipulating or moving objects with the body (like throwing, kicking, catching);
3) Stability skills, which entail maintaining balance of the body when still or in motion.

WESTERN STUDENTS, LOCAL HISTORIANS BRING LONDONS STORIES TO LIFE THROUGH FOREST CITY FACTS
As London, Ont. celebrates 200 years since its founding in 1826, a new initiative shines a light on local history. Through Forest City Facts, students and faculty from Western's master of arts in the public history field are helping to uncover stories that have shaped - and continue to shape - the city.
Spearheaded by the London and Middlesex Historical Society, in partnership with the City of London and Western public history, Forest City Facts spotlight people, places and events that have made a lasting impact on London's past and present. The project includes 200 vignettes.
Western's MA in the public history field has played a big role. Each of the seven students in the field produced 10 of the 100-word fact sheets, covering the research and writing for 70 facts in total.
"This partnership is really fitting because it also occurs within our 40th anniversary year, making Western's MA public history field the oldest of its kind in Canada," said Mike Dove, professor and director of public history.
It equips students with knowledge and skills to promote historical research to larger audiences.
"Over the past 40 years, our graduate students have been working to bring local stories to life - to preserve them and to share them for generations of Londoners to come." - Mike Dove, professor and director of public history

WESTERN UNIVERSITY: KINESIOLOGY STUDENT TACKLES FITNESS BARRIERS FOR KIDS WITH AUTISM AND INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES
Children and youth with autism and intellectual disabilities are statistically the least likely to meet physical activity guidelines.
"It isn't because of the individual," said Connor Murphy, fourth-year kinesiology student in the Faculty of Health Sciences. "These kids are not any less capable than anyone else, it's because of systemic barriers that they aren't receiving the benefits of exercise."
Youth with disabilities often face higher barriers to entry, whether that be higher costs or an inaccessible environment. Murphy is helping to break down these very roadblocks.
In September 2025, Murphy began a practicum with GoodLife Kids Foundation, a charitable organization founded in 1998 that supports children and youth with autism and intellectual disabilities through physical activity and fitness.
The foundation's MOVE program offers free virtual and in-person classes across Canada.
"MOVE Coaches are certified fitness professionals who receive specialized training, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to lead inclusive, engaging and impactful classes for participants," said Kyla Crocker, director of the MOVE program.
Classes are made up of warm up movements, dance breaks and mindfulness activities.

"San Francisco Seafood: A History from Ocean to Table," by Associate Professor of Urban Planning and Sustainable Development Paul Stangl, traces the evolution of the city's seafood scene from being nearly non-existent during the Gold Rush years to a destination hub for seafood lovers in the 1920s.
"Fascinated by the history of San Francisco and a fan of the city's seafood restaurants, I began scrolling through accounts of seafood consumption in the nineteenth century about 15 years ago," Stangl said. "These stories provided fascinating glimpses of social life in the city, from fights over free clams at dive bars to formal dining on salmon a la Chambord at elite banquets."
Through research on government records and stories contemporary to that era, Stangl examines the city's relationship with the ocean and how the rise of its seafood industry shaped local culture and labor, while depleting local seafood stocks, offering lessons about sustainability and cuisine today.

WILLIAM MARSH RICE UNIVERSITY: SCIENTISTS UNCOVER NEW METHOD TO GENERATE PROTEIN DATASETS FOR TRAINING AI
Protein engineering is a field primed for artificial intelligence research. Each protein is made up of amino acids; to optimize a protein function, researchers modify proteins by switching out one of 20 different amino acids for another. For a protein that is just 50 amino acids in length, this leads to approximately 1.13x1065 potential combinations to test - that's 113 followed by 65 zeros, or five times as many zeros as a trillion has.
This number of potential combinations, impossible to test in the lab, makes protein engineering an ideal challenge for AI. Modeling which of these combinations will give the best results is a perfect problem for the technology's massive computing power. But AI is only as good as the data used to train it, and in some areas of protein engineering, the right data just didn't exist.

RICE SCIENTISTS DISCOVER NEW WAY METALS BIND OXYGEN, POSSIBLY STARTING 'NEW CHAPTER' IN CHEMISTRY
Iron and oxygen bind together throughout the body. Most famously, iron binds dioxygen, or two oxygens paired with each other, in hemoglobin that transports oxygen through blood. But iron-oxo compounds, as they're called, are found in many other places throughout the body. For example, the highly reactive iron-oxo is used in liver enzymes that metabolize drugs.
Rice University chemist Raul Hernandez Sanchez was interested in how oxygen could react with other types of metals - ones that reside on the lowest section of the periodic table, known as f-block metals, with lanthanides on the upper row and actinides on the lower. If lanthanides could bind with oxygen, he theorized, it would form a highly reactive lanthanide-oxo compound that potentially could be used as a synthetic replacement for iron-oxo, opening up a new toolbox for small molecule chemists interested in studying these biological reactions. A bearded Latino man in a patterned shirt smiles at the camera. Raul Hernandez Sanchez
The only issue is that f-block metals, especially lanthanides, couldn't engage with small molecules like oxygen through pi interactions, a type of interaction essential for biological materials like proteins. In a recent publication in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, Hernandez Sanchez and his team described a way to enable pi interactions between dioxygen and a lanthanide metal called neodymium, enabling the creation of lanthanide-oxos.
"We had a ligand platform that we developed a few years ago," said Hernandez Sanchez, an assistant professor of chemistry. "You can think of it as a basket that allows us to capture metals and position them in ways to encourage specific types of bindings."
The basket was just big enough to hold one f-block metal atom. The research team placed two baskets across from each other with six carefully placed atoms, including a dioxygen molecule, in between, bridging the two neodymium atoms. This creates an octacoordinate ligand environment, which can be used to adjust the positions of the metals.

RICE STUDY RESOLVES DECADES-OLD MYSTERY IN ORGANIC LIGHT-EMITTING CRYSTALS
Materials that emit and manipulate light are at the heart of technologies ranging from solar energy to advanced imaging systems. But even in well-studied materials, some fundamental behaviors remain unexplained.
Researchers at Rice University have now solved a long-standing mystery in a widely used organic semiconductor, revealing how tiny structural imperfections can actually improve how these materials work.
In a study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the team investigated 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene (BPEA), a model system for studying how light energy moves through materials. For years, scientists have observed unusual optical behavior in BPEA, specifically two distinct absorption and emission signals that did not match existing theories.
"This was a long-standing puzzle in the field," said Colette Sullivan, a doctoral student in Rice's Department of Chemistry and co-author of the study. "Once we connected the experimental results with theory, it became clear the two signals were coming from completely different processes."
