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.

BANGOR UNIVERSITY NEW REPORT SHOWS HOW GWYNEDD COULD TRANSFORM TOURISM THROUGH A WELL-DESIGNED VISITOR LEVY

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.

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.

"I was really excited to be able to work with Nerve to Write and maintain that connection with Bridgewater State," said Carney, who credits BSU with laying the foundation that propelled her into the creative writing and literature PhD program at the University of Cincinnati.

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.

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."

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?

Unmet longings. Unanswered prayers. Unrealized dreams.

For Drew Hensley and his wife, Laura, grief is personal and familiar. While struggling with infertility, they found that healing came not through quick fixes or cliches but through the presence of others - and of God - that gave them the opportunity to be honest about their heartache. 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.

"Writing this book allowed me to offer new language to not only my own grief but that of so many others," said Hensley. "I had to learn to bring the whole story honestly before God without editing it."

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.

Geoffrey Hawtin, a world-renowned expert on crop diversity and co-recipient of the 2024 World Food Prize, will be a guest speaker April 14 at 11 a.m. at the Watt Family Innovation Center auditorium.

"I've worked with him for a really long time," said Stephen Kresovich, Clemson's Robert and Lois Coker Trustees Endowed Chair of Genetics. "He's very engaging. It would be great for students, as well as staff and faculty, to attend because he's got an interesting background. He's going to talk about his history and he's going to talk about the implications of linking conservation and agriculture."

Hawtin received the World Food Prize, which Kresovich likened to a Nobel Prize, for his extraordinary leadership in preserving and protecting the world's heritage of crop biodiversity and mobilizing this incredible resource to defend against threats to global food security.

Through his work with Crop Trust, an international organization dedicated to conserving and making crop diversity available for use globally, forever and for the benefit of everyone, Hawtin was a key figure in helping to establish the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.

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.

CLUB SPORTS STRENGTHENS COMMUNITY AMONG CLEMSON STUDENTS

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.

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."

CORNELL UNIVERSITY: IRAN WEAPONIZES GLOBAL OIL TRADE IN WAR WITH THE UNITED STATES

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.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY: DISRUPTING GENOME ARCHITECTURE SELECTIVELY IMPAIRS DEVELOPMENTAL GENES

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.

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.

Kendricks has won four Drake Relays men's pole vault titles and holds the Drake Relays and Drake Stadium records in the event. Morris has dominated the women's pole vault at the Drake Relays, claiming six individual titles as well as setting the Drake Relays record at 16-0 in 2018. Kendricks began vaulting at the Drake Relays as a freshman at Ole Miss in 2012, placing fourth in the university-college division. He claimed the invitational pole vault title at the Drake Relays in 2015, 2017 and 2018, setting the Relays record of 19-1 1/2 in 2018.

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'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 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.

DUT ALUMNA CONTRIBUTES TO GROUNDBREAKING HIV PREVENTION RESEARCH

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.

Since the beginning of the new phase, in September last year, the University Restaurant of UFMS of Tres Lagoas has already served another 60 thousand people, with the services of breakfast, lunch and dinner. The service was initiated after the completion of a new bidding process and infrastructure improvements.

The Federal Police released this morning the beginning of the second stage of investigation with six search and seizure warrants with the objective of "fighting crimes of fraud in bids and in administrative contracts and misappropriation of public resources." Read the full note here.

In a note, UFMS thanked the Federal Police, as well as the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) and the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU), for all the work and dedication in the investigation initiated in February 2025 as a result of the communication carried out by the university itself. At the time UFMS identified indications of irregularities in the execution of the service, canceled the contract and, continuous act, based on the recommendation of the Federal Prosecutor's Office of UFMS, together with the Advocacy General of the Union (AGU), requested the PF, the MPF and the CGU the calculation that completes 14 months on today.

According to the Federal Prosecutor's Office, this is an operation arising from the initiative of UFMS itself, which initiated the investigations internally, and sent all the evidence to the Federal Police, and the University and no public agents are being investigated, since the deviations were being allegedly practiced by contracted companies.

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."

GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY: A GUIDE TO BIRDWATCHING AT GEORGIA TECH

More than 11 million people live in Georgia, but on April nights, the state's residents on the ground are outnumbered by tens of millions of small songbirds flying overhead.

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.

The Children's Enrichment Center is more than a day care. Erin Korte, interim director, explained how CEC staff and student employees make learning something that children look forward to.

"It's so much play-based learning, making it fun for the children so they enjoy coming here," Korte said. "That also fuels their passion for learning."

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 SCIENTISTS UNCOVER MECHANISM BEHIND PLACENTAL LIPID METABOLISM DISORDERS IN PREECLAMPSIA

Scientists at HSE University have discovered that in preeclampsia-one of the most severe complications of pregnancy-the placenta remodels its lipid metabolism, reducing its own cholesterol synthesis while increasing cholesterol transfer to the foetus. This compensatory mechanism helps sustain foetal nutrition but accelerates placental deterioration and may lead to preterm birth. The study findings have been published in Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences.

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.
