AUTONOMOUS UNIVERSITY OF BARCELONA: SUCCESSFUL PARTICIPATION IN THE INTERNATIONAL PLANCKS COMPETITION

The best physics students from around the world met on Saturday 3 May at the UAB to participate in the final of the PLANCKS competition, the most prestigious international physics competition. Each year, countries from all over the world choose their best undergraduate and master's students in physics, who compete in the grand final. The event is organised by the Student Group of the Spanish Royal Society of Physics (GdeE-RSEF).

This year, the meeting was held in Barcelona and brought together 200 students from teams from 30 different countries. Of the 140 teams from Spain that participated in the preliminary tests, five of them made it to the finals: "PSIsicos", from the University of Valladolid, which ranked 15th; "Plonck", from the Autonomous University of Madrid, ranking 20th; "Wavefunction Warriors", from the University of Barcelona, ranking 26th; "Oppenhomies Beta+", from the UAB, ranking 28th; and "Txistorra", from the University of the Basque Country, ranking 30th.

The members of the UAB team, Cristina Camacho, Martin Gonzalez, Eric Lizalde and Marti Sola, commented that "the best part of the PLANCKS competition is the fact of being able to get together with people who share the same curiosity for physics and the desire to face challenges and solve difficult problems". The team, formed by 5th year students of the double degree in Physics + Mathematics, is "very happy and grateful to the organisers for the opportunity to attend the PLANCKS final", a milestone they prepared for by using "the few free moments we have between the end-of-degree projects and work to meet and practice exams from previous years", they said.

The official launch of a prospectus to outline interventions to reduce health inequalities in coastal communities took place at Bournemouth University.

The event was attended by Professor Sir Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Officer for England, alongside representatives of Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and healthcare providers across the UK.

The event sought to further conversations on health inequalities following the Chief Medical Officer's Annual Report 2021, which highlighted the need for a national approach to coastal healthcare.

In the 2021 report Professor Whitty said, "This concentration of poor health and wellbeing in coastal communities also provides a clear and geographically defined target for national action. If we could improve the health of coastal communities, the median health for the entire country would be lifted."

Following the report the Coastal Navigators Network of ICBs and key parties was established to look at interventions to support health equality, using six pilot areas including Portland in Dorset. The launch of the prospectus outlines the next steps for scaling impact and accelerating progress on reducing inequalities in coastal communities.

Santiago began his career at BYU in 1997, joining the men's basketball coaching staff. He then moved into athletic administration, including serving as an assistant and associate athletic director.

He offered a keen musical ear and created a supportive atmosphere that challenged the students to take creative risks and stretch their abilities. His encouragement kept them motivated.

After the initial shock of working with a musician of Lettieri's caliber wore off, the students took advantage of the real-world experience as they created a song from scratch. They learned lessons of teamwork and improvisation, skills vital in any collaborative music project.

The senior wing from Melbourne, Australia, emerged from a list of five finalists, who were chosen last month by the award selection committee.

The award, which recognizes the nation's top male college rugby player, is named after rugby legend Rudy Scholz, who played at Santa Clara and helped Team USA win two Olympic gold medals in 1920 and 1924.

The Rudy Scholz Award has been presented every year since 2016 by the Washington Athletic Club in Seattle. Treacy was honored at the club's annual gala on May 7.

"It is an absolute honor to receive the Rudy Scholz Award, especially given how competitive college rugby has been this year," Treacy said in a story on WildcatSports.com. "I'd like to give a huge thanks to all the teammates who have been a part of my journey at Central and have contributed to me as a player."

CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY LONG BEACH: ALUMNA BEHIND 'FREEDOM WRITERS' EARNS CSULB'S HIGHEST HONOR

Educator Erin Gruwell '94 has a life story that illustrates how a Cal State Long Beach education and individual drive can set off a chain reaction of positive change.

"Because I am an educator, it is the foundation of everything I do professionally," Gruwell said.

Gruwell is one of three luminaries selected to receive an honorary doctorate during Commencement 2025. A second-generation CSULB grad, she earned both a master's in English literature and teaching credential here before accepting a job teaching English at nearby Wilson High School.

For Gruwell, the nomination for her honorary degree put it this way: "Her work exemplifies the transformative power of education and reflects the core values of CSULB: inclusivity, compassion and the belief that every student has the potential to succeed."

Gruwell has also served as a Distinguished Teacher in Residence for the College of Education and was honored as a Distinguished Alumna in 2005. She is now the president of the Freedom Writers Foundation, which conducts educator training, arranges speaking engagements and provides other services to help students get the most out of their school years.

The foundation takes its name from "The Freedom Writers Diary" (1999), which collected journal entries from Wilson students affected by racial divisions and prejudice, street gangs and family troubles. That book, in turn, inspired "Freedom Writers" (2007), a film dramatizing Gruwell's teaching experiences, which included encouraging her students to keep diaries as well as discussions of hip-hop lyrics, "The Diary of Anne Frank" and meetings with Holocaust survivors.

CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY: LINKEDIN LEARNING ACCESS TO BE DISCONTINUED BEGINNING AUG. 1

Due to budgetary constraints, the university is discontinuing access to LinkedIn Learning on Aug. 1.

[U]Tech recognizes LinkedIn Learning has served as a valuable tool for professional development and skill enhancement within our community, and this decision was not made lightly. However, the present financial landscape has made it unsustainable to continue this service.

[U]Tech recommends members of the university community link their LinkedIn profile to their LinkedIn Learning account prior to Aug. 1 so they can retain their progress should they access LinkedIn Learning through another account.

For those who wish to maintain access to LinkedIn Learning on an individual basis, [U]Tech encourages them to explore resources offered by local public libraries, such as Cleveland Public Library, which may provide access to this platform for library cardholders. Additionally, YouTube remains a vast and readily available source for educational content across a wide spectrum of subjects.

AI chat services can be another excellent resource. You can ask the University's Gemini, Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, and CWRU AI to create personalized training plans on any topic with links to suggested resources, such as websites and YouTube videos. As always with generative AI responses, be sure to review the plan for accuracy and relevancy.

Furthermore, [U]Tech offers several tools that may be beneficial for creating your own video content, should you wish to create your own training videos as a replacement for resources previously accessed through LinkedIn Learning. These include Zoom's Clips feature, Microsoft Clipchamp, and, for those who use Echo360, Echo360 Browser Capture, which allow for quick and easy video recording with screen capture.

Vice-Chancellor Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has been honoured with the Croucher Tak Wah Mak Innovation Award 2025 by the Croucher Foundation in recognition of his outstanding contributions in scientific research. The award provides HK$5 million over five years to support Professor Choi's pioneering research, fostering innovation in Hong Kong's scientific community.

Professor Choi said: "I am deeply honoured and grateful for the recognition by the Croucher Foundation. The award is among the most prestigious awards for early career researchers in Hong Kong. It is an important recognition of my research contributions and also motivates me to pursue further innovations."

Professor Choi's research focuses on developing sophisticated mathematical tools to better model and visualise complex anatomical structures, aiming to improve medical imaging for diagnosis and surgery. Addressing the limitations of existing computational techniques, his project aims to create a comprehensive suite of tools that handle intricate geometry and topology. This includes efficient parameterisation, automatic feature detection, topology-aware 3D shape reconstruction, and an integrated platform for managing these structures.

Utilising applied and computational geometry, differential geometry, and mathematical imaging, Professor Choi's work enhances the accuracy and efficiency of shape analysis while reducing geometric distortions. Additionally, his research leverages surface harmonics and data-driven optimisation to accelerate computations, facilitating real-time applications. His work aims not only to deepen scientific understanding but also to improve medical imaging and quantitative biology, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes through better diagnostic and surgical tools. Professor Choi added: "This work will greatly simplify the visualisation and modelling of a wide range of medical structures, thereby aiding in disease prognosis and diagnosis." He hopes that his research would arouse public interest in mathematics and attract more young people in Hong Kong to conduct interdisciplinary mathematical research.

CLEMSON UNIVERSITY CELEBRATES NATIONS FIRST UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES IN AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING

Clemson University has made history by awarding the nation's first-ever Bachelor of Science degrees in automotive engineering. A brick-laying ceremony held this week at the Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) honored the inaugural graduating class-four students whose names are now permanently engraved in a brick pathway at CU-ICAR, symbolizing their role in paving the way for future automotive engineers.

This milestone comes more than two decades after the Clemson University Board of Trustees approved the creation of an automotive engineering degree program-the first, and still the only, academic program of its kind. Initially established as a graduate-level initiative, the program began enrolling students in 2006 and awarded its first master's and Ph.D. degrees in 2009. Since then, over 1,110 graduate degrees have been conferred. In 2022, guided by input from leading industry partners, Clemson expanded its program to the undergraduate level, aiming to meet the growing demand for engineers with specialized automotive training."

CLEMSON UNIVERSITY FINDS NATURAL WAY TO RAISE CHICKENS WITHOUT ANTIBIOTICS

Consumers want antibiotic-free meat and farmers need reliable ways to keep their flocks healthy. Clemson University is helping meet both goals through research that explores natural alternatives to antibiotics in poultry production.

The poultry industry is big - bringing in $2.5 billion annually for the South Carolina economy. But a common gut disease in chickens, called necrotic enteritis (NE), costs the chicken industry money every year.

Antibiotics are often used to treat this disease. But Clemson University researchers say natural products like black cumin, kefir and bacteriophages may work just as well - and meet the growing demand for antibiotic-free chicken.

"We're learning how gut bacteria affects chicken health," said Vishal Manjunatha, a Clemson researcher who recently graduated with a doctorate in food, nutrition and packaging sciences. "This can help farmers use fewer antibiotics and still keep chickens healthy."

REFLECTIONS FROM A FORMER CLEMSON AIR FORCE ROTC INSTRUCTOR

When I first arrived at Clemson University as an Air Force ROTC instructor in 2022, I didn't know exactly what to expect. What I found at Clemson was more than a job. It was purpose, connection and a place to call home.

If I'm being quite honest, Clemson was never part of "the plan." I earned my own commission through Officer Training School in 2016 and began my career as a Nuclear and Missile Operations Officer. I later cross-trained in Public Affairs, a career field I had long aspired to join. That transition opened the door to serve at the Major Command level with Air Force Global Strike Command Public Affairs, and all signs pointed to me continuing a trajectory consistent with my career field. Then 2022 happened.

That year brought personal tragedy with the unexpected passing of my mother. Amid grief and shifting circumstances, my career plans changed. Just as it felt like my world was coming apart, things ever so quietly began to fall into place, and it all started with an unexpected ROTC job listing that appeared in my assignment cycle. Golka, pictured middle row, at a Military Appreciation Football Game.

I didn't know it then, but that listing would lead me to a place that I would soon love. As an Auburn alumna, I had often heard Clemson described as a kindred spirit, sharing a similar culture, close-knit community and an infectious school spirit. I decided to reach out to the then-detachment commander, Colonel Jason King. I shared my story with him about my career shifts, the challenges, and most importantly, my desire to shape cadets into not just capable officers, but good and decent human beings. The very next day, he ranked me as his top pick. That affirmation confirmed what I already knew: this was the right place, and the right mission, at the right time.

At the heart of Clemson University's arts and cultural life is the Lee Gallery, a space more than just a venue for visual exhibitions. It's a dynamic, evolving and deeply collaborative environment where students don't just observe art; they create, curate, install and present it.

"The Lee Gallery is like a hidden engine for cultural and creative development on campus," said Maya McDonald '25, an MFA candidate and gallery assistant. "You learn more about artwork the more you share it with different community members because the audience brings their life experiences to interpreting the artwork." McDonald's insight captures the Gallery's essence as a place where students grow in their artistic abilities, empathy, communication and confidence.

Editor's Note: The "Elevate Well-Being" blog series for May focuses on the importance of Human Resources within the University. Our first blog is courtesy Chief Well-Being Officer Anna Fitch Courie.

There's a common perception a human resources department exists primarily to protect the organization - not its people. And while human resources professionals do play a critical role in upholding policies and ensuring legal and regulatory compliance, that's only part of the story.

In my experience, HR is made up of quiet professionals doing some of the most deeply human work in an organization. They are the ones who help employees navigate the hard, personal, behind-the-scenes moments that never make it into team meetings or performance reviews - but that define what it means to be part of a community.

They are the steady voice on the other end of the phone when someone has just received a diagnosis. They are the guide through the maze of paperwork after the birth of a child - or the loss of a parent. They are the ones who make sure an employee gets connected to the right resources during a mental health crisis. They walk people through return-to-work accommodations, family leave, job transitions and career development.

They often do all of this without recognition or fanfare. But their impact is lasting, and it touches every corner of an organization.

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY: SCIENTISTS DEVELOP NEW ANTIVENOM TO COUNTER MANY SNAKEBITES

Scientists have developed the first broad-spectrum antivenom to neutralize neurotoxins from 19 of the deadliest snakes.

Peter Kwong, the Richard J. Stock Professor of Medical Science at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, co-led the research reported in the journal Cell(link is external and opens in a new window), which draws on data from a man (pictured above) who exposed himself to the venom of some of the most lethal snakes.

The antivenom was created from a cocktail of the man's antibodies combined with a small-molecule neurotoxin inhibitor.

Antivenom is typically made by immunizing animals with venom from a single snake species and collecting their antibodies, resulting in a serum that is species- and region-specific and may cause adverse reactions to non-human antibodies. The new approach may lead to the development of a universal antivenom serum that would cause fewer side effects.

In Live Stock and Dead Things, Anthropology Professor Hannah Chazin combines zooarchaeology and anthropology to challenge familiar narratives about the role of animals in the rise of modern societies. Conventional views of this process tend to see a mostly linear development from hunter-gatherer societies, to horticultural and pastoral ones, to large-scale agricultural ones, and then industrial ones. Along the way, traditional accounts argue that owning livestock as property, along with land and other valuable commodities, introduced social inequality and stratification. But Chazin raises a provocative question: What if domestication wasn't the origin of instrumentalizing animals after all? In her new book, Chazin argues that these conventional narratives are inherited from conjectural histories and ignore the archaeological data. In her view, the category of domestication flattens the more complex dimensions of humans' relationship to herd animals. In the book's first half, Chazin offers a new understanding of the political possibilities of pastoralism, one that recognizes the powerful role herd animals have played in shaping human notions of power and authority. In the second half, she takes readers into her archaeological fieldwork in the South Caucasus, which sheds further light on herd animals' transformative effect on economy, social life, and ritual.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY CARBON DIOXIDE KEY TO MAKING A PRECISE POLYMER SAFELY

Watch a Cornell ice hockey game at Lynah Rink and you'll spend three periods looking at - or rather, through - a methacrylate, a type of polymer used widely in paints, adhesives and glass substitutes. But making this material for applications more nuanced than blocking hockey pucks - for instance in drug delivery mechanisms - requires a highly controlled process called anionic polymerization, which has been difficult and even dangerous to pull off.

Now, Cornell chemists have developed a user-friendly, scalable anionic polymerization process for methacrylate that's precisely controlled and mediated by carbon dioxide (CO2). Useful for developing advanced applications of methacrylate, the process is already benefiting researchers such as engineers working to develop metal-free batteries and has potential future applications in biomedical settings.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY NEW PEROVSKITE DESIGN SETS SOLAR CELLS ON PATH TO STABILITY

In solar science, a little structural harmony goes a long way.

By finding the atomic equivalent of a perfect handshake between two types of perovskite - a class of crystalline materials prized for their ability to convert sunlight into electricity - researchers at Cornell have built solar cells that are not only high-performing, but exceptionally durable.

Three-dimensional (3D) perovskites consist of repeating atomic networks of metal halide "cages" that are connected at their corners and filled with small, positively charged molecules known as cations. These materials have shown remarkable promise for enabling solar cells that are lightweight, low-cost and capable of efficiencies that surpass those of traditional silicon. But despite their potential, most 3D perovskites are vulnerable to heat, moisture and the very sunlight they're designed to capture due to their salt-like ionic crystal structures.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY DEVELOPERS, EDUCATORS VIEW AI HARMS DIFFERENTLY, RESEARCH FINDS

Teachers are increasingly using educational tools that leverage large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT for lesson planning, personalized tutoring and more in K-12 classrooms around the world.

Cornell researchers have found the developers of such tools and the educators who use them have different ideas about the potential harms they may cause, a finding that researchers say underscores the need for educators to be more involved in the tools' development.

"Education technology should center educators, and doing that requires researchers, education technology providers, school leaders and policymakers to come together and take action to mitigate potential harms from the use of LLMs in education," said Emma Harvey, a doctoral student in the field of information science and lead author of "'Don't Forget the Teachers': Towards an Educator-Centered Understanding of Harms from Large Language Models in Education." The paper was presented April 28 at the Association for Computing Machinery's Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) in Yokohama, Japan. It received a Best Paper Award. Her coauthors are Allison Koenecke, assistant professor of information science, and Rene Kizilcec, associate professor of information science, both at the Cornell Ann S.

In the 72-week trial - led by an investigator at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian and conducted with the University of Texas McGovern Medical School, the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, the University College Dublin and Eli Lilly - participants taking tirzepatide lost about 50 pounds - or 20.2% of their body weight - compared with those on semaglutide, who lost an average of 33 pounds or 13.7% of their baseline weight.

The results of the SURMOUNT-5 phase 3b study, published May 11 in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that when both drugs are administered at their maximum doses, participants receiving tirzepatide were more likely to reach weight loss targets and saw a greater reduction in waist circumference than those on semaglutide.

DALLAS BAPTIST UNIVERSITY: CALLED TO SERVE: BEN BOLIN'S STORY OF MINISTRY, MUSIC, AND MISSION

Ben Bolin ('05) has lived a life deeply rooted in both ministry and music. Growing up in Southern Illinois, he was immersed in church life from an early age, with his father serving as the Minister of Music at their local church. Surrounded by faith, family, and melody, Ben accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior during childhood. By the age of 12, he felt a clear call to ministry-a calling he actively pursued throughout his high school years. During that time, he was even given opportunities to preach, further affirming his passion for sharing the Gospel. From those formative experiences, it was clear that Ben's future would be shaped by a lifelong devotion to ministry and music.

In his senior year of high school, his family made the decision to move to Texas to be closer to his mother's side of the family. This left Ben with a difficult decision to make: either stay in Illinois or join his family down south in Texas. At first, Ben was adamant about staying in his home state, but ultimately, the Lord led him to move with his family. During this time, Ben began to look at various colleges in Texas, including DBU. This would be the first step in leading him to study at DBU.

Ben shares, "I visited several schools, but when I came to visit DBU, it became apparent that this was where the Lord wanted me. I remember sitting at a table with the admissions counselor and conversing about where the Lord was leading and what would be best for me. That was different from the other experiences I had." This visit and discussion ultimately led him to attend DBU and pursue his Bachelor of Music with a Teacher Certification.

As a music major, Ben had many incredible opportunities of ministry and music during his time as an undergraduate. Memorable moments of his include the many musicals and operas that he performed in. He fondly shares, "Our production of The Mikado and Fiddler on the Roof helped to create memories and friends that remain strong to this day. The choir also toured internationally in Italy, Austria, England, and Scotland."

Traveling to all of these incredible places gave Ben the blessing of being able to perform in beautiful spaces. On one of these trips to Austria, Ben shares, "One of my most memorable and embarrassing moments was going blank on my solo for a concert in Salzburg, Austria. I ended up making up the words and melody line. Somehow, Dr. Holcomb and the choir saved me by coming in correctly." Memorable moments such as this filled Ben's years at DBU. He shares that outside of music, Ben found incredible camaraderie from intramural sports and service organizations during his time at DBU.

ETH ZURICH MAKING AUGMENTED REALITY SUITABLE FOR SOCIETY

Christian Holz, what is actually meant by augmented reality? The vision of augmented reality is older than you might think. Ivan Sutherland, the pioneer of computer graphics, published his Ultimate Display concept - a computer display that serves all the human senses - 60 years ago. Nowadays, it's generally about opening up new dimensions of reality, for example, with smart and interactive glasses that can expand and enhance people's perceptions.

Is the impression misleading or is augmented reality still in its early stages? In a sense we're already living in an augmented reality through our smartphones because we use their services every day. But the technology and the interfaces between the real and the virtual world are continuing to evolve - for example, we use interactive smart watches to check messages or make calls.

ETH ZURICH UNDERSTANDING WHICH PROTEINS WORK TOGETHER

The human body and its organs are composed of a wide variety of cell types. Although all cells contain the same genes, they function very differently - partly because protein interactions differ between cells.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have now created an atlas showing which proteins work together in which tissues. These findings will help to identify disease genes more precisely and develop drugs that act specifically where they are needed and nowhere else.

Proteins seldom work alone, but in teams: they interact with other proteins, for example by forming complexes or along biochemical signalling cascades.

In order to better understand how cells function in different tissues or organs of the body, scientists must first find out which proteins are working together and how their coordination differs from cell type to cell type. "If we know the specific protein interactions, we can better understand what distinguishes a liver cell from a brain cell," says Pedro Beltrao, professor at the Institute of Molecular Systems Biology at ETH Zurich.

ETH ZURICH THE ANTARCTIC WATER PUZZLE - HOW FLOODING CONTRIBUTES TO ICE MELT

In the autumn of 2021, an international team of researchers from New Zealand's Antarctic Science Platform set off towards the South Pole. Their destination was the Ross Ice Shelf in West Antarctica, a floating ice sheet about ten times the size of Switzerland. New Zealand has been operating the Scott research station on the coast since 1957. From there, the expedition team continued south. Two weeks and 1,200 kilometres later, they reached their destination on the Kamb Ice Stream, a glacier, 350 km long, 100 km wide and many hundreds of metres deep that runs from the interior of Antarctica towards the sea, meeting the Ross Ice Shelf on the coast.

Hot water borehole through the Antarctic ice At this remote location on the permanent ice, the support team built a temporary research station with its own airstrip and tent accommodation for 26 people. The scientists used the favourable conditions of the Antarctic summer for their research work, with temperatures of -10C, light winds and 24-hour daylight. Drilling 500 metres through the ice sheet to the Antarctic mainland beneath, they encountered water and sedimentary rock. For the hot water drilling, they used a high-pressure nozzle and water at 80C. With a diameter of 30 cm, the borehole was large enough to lower a camera and various measuring equipment down into the depths to explore the conditions at the base of the ice flow.

Drawing on the notion of positive safety (Schuilenburg & van Steden, 2016), I conceptualize neighborhood livability as a balance between care and control: like positive safety, it involves not only the repression of unwanted behavior, but also the fostering of positive social dynamics, such as care-giving, social support and community-building.

FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERS: IRAN AND ETHIOPIA HAVE A SECURITY DEAL - HERE'S WHY THEY SIGNED IT

Ethiopia and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on 6 May 2025. Under it, their national police agencies will cooperate on security and intelligence. This will include combating cross-border crime, sharing intelligence and building capacity. They will also share experiences and training.

For Iran, the MOU marks a significant step towards strengthening relations with a regional power that's strategically located in the Horn of Africa.

Tehran has been using its security apparatus and military capabilities to establish and expand political and economic ties with countries in Africa. This has included drone transfers to the Ethiopian government that helped it turned the tide of the Tigray war, a separatist struggle in the country's north that took place from 2020 to 2022.

Iran has also supplied the Sudanese army with surveillance and combat drones. These have been used against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in Sudan's ongoing civil war.

The agreement is important for Ethiopia for two reasons.

Firstly, it's likely to enable the Ethiopian government in Addis Ababa to combat ethnic militias more effectively. It faces increasing internal instability, including tensions with hostile factions of the separatist Tigray People's Liberation Front.

Secondly, the agreement comes after a meeting in Addis Ababa between the Ethiopian police chief, Demelash Gebremichael, and a delegation from Iran's regional rival, the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The exchange concentrated on investigating and extraditing cross-border criminals.

Addis Ababa's willingness to work with regional rivals in the Middle East shows its pragmatic approach to foreign relations. Ethiopia needs all the friends it can muster as an embattled and weakened state. Since the Tigray war, it has battled the rise of ethnic militias and confronted economic adversity. It is also facing renewed hostility with neighbouring Eritrea.

UPDATE ON FIU PRESIDENTIAL SEARCH: COMMUNITY SESSIONS SCHEDULE

The following message, first published and shared with the FIU community on May 8, has been updated to reflect the addition of specific times on Wednesday, May 21, during which the presidential candidate will present remarks and accept questions.

Dear members of the university community,

Over the past several weeks, the Presidential Search Committee has identified and interviewed candidates interested in becoming FIU's seventh president. We are now ready to move into the public and final phase of the process.

After a thorough review and interview process, the Presidential Search Committee selected three finalists for recommendation to the FIU Board of Trustees. The three finalists included a sitting president and sitting provost at other institutions, as well as FIU's Interim President Jeanette M. NuNez.

Two of the finalists indicated that they would only move to the public phase of the search process if selected as the lone candidate. As a result, these two finalists withdrew their candidacy. Given her proven record of leadership and unique qualifications, the Committee unanimously agreed to move Interim President NuNez forward as its sole finalist for consideration by the FIU Board of Trustees.

Since her appointment in February, Interim President NuNez has worked tirelessly with great enthusiasm and passion and a firm commitment to our students and the overall success of FIU. Guided by FIU's strategic plan, Experience Impact 2030, she has engaged meaningfully with our students, faculty, staff, and community, focusing on improving the student experience, ensuring research excellence, and establishing and strengthening strategic alliances.

Our university is central to Interim President NuNez's life and that of her family. She is a proud double alumna, earning a bachelor's degree in political science and international relations in 1994 and a master's degree in public administration in 1998. She is also a proud Panther parent and former adjunct faculty member, having taught a graduate-level course on health policy and serving as a guest lecturer over the years.

GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY: TITLE: SHE WAS TOLD TO LEAVE RURAL AMERICA TO SUCCEED. NOW, THIS SENIOR WANTS TO HELP RURAL COMMUNITIES THRIVE.

Lisa with her father with a snowman Lisa Kennedy (C'25) with her father in their front yard in Rhinelander in 2007.

Kennedy is a fifth-generation resident of Rhinelander, a town in northern Wisconsin with a population of 8,000 people situated among the region's countless lakes, streams and rivers.

Growing up, Kennedy was told that if she wanted to be successful in life, she had to leave her hometown and never come back, that there was no opportunity in rural communities like Rhinelander.

Her teachers encouraged her to think big for college. That meant Kennedy's dream school, Georgetown, a place to pursue her passion in history and politics. But she knew Washington, DC, would be a stark transition from her life in rural Wisconsin.

"I couldn't help but think of everyone I was leaving," she said. "My teachers, who juggled multiple jobs so we could have both a history teacher and a hockey coach. My classmates, who went on to lead our local businesses and community organizations. My family, who taught me everything I knew." Lisa in a dress and a grad stole Kennedy is a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences

"Their lives were filled with an inherent value that I couldn't seem to reconcile with the conception of rurality I'd been taught."

Four years later, at the end of her Georgetown journey, Kennedy no longer believes Rhinelander is a place to leave behind. It's a place that she wants to serve and see thrive. It's her home.

"What was driving me to go to college was I wanted to advocate for people who have often gone overlooked. I felt like we had been overlooked, and that resulted in a lot of resentment," she said. "I understand why people feel that way, but I think there's real value in rural places and rural people. I wanted to change that narrative when I felt that change in myself when I came to college."

GVSU RESEARCHER: WEST MICHIGAN ECONOMY RESILIENT AMID ECONOMIC TENSIONS

While global economic markets face turbulence following the Trump administration's implementation of tariffs, the West Michigan economy continues to show modest strength, according to a Grand Valley researcher.

Brian Long, director of supply management research at GVSU's Seidman College of Business, said his monthly survey of local businesses and purchasing managers reveals a local economy that has remained resilient so far.

"According to the data we collected in late April, the West Michigan economy remains marginally positive," Long said. "Incoming new orders, our closely watched index of business improvement, retreated but still came in marginally positive for all the negativity out there right now. That's not bad."

The automotive parts industry, one of the region's key industries, was a factor to the region's economic performance in April. However, Long cautioned that the strong sales in April might not reflect long-term strength.

KAROLINSKA INSTITUTET: NEW THESIS ON FRAILTY AND HOW IT AFFECTS HEALTHCARE UTILIZATION AMONG OLDER ADULTS

Hi there Clare Tazzeo! You will defend your thesis entitled "Investigating the interplay between frailty and healthcare utilization in older adults" on 26 May 2025. Could you tell us a little more?

My thesis investigates the relationship between frailty and healthcare utilization in older adults. The main aims were to better understand if there has been an expansion of time spent frail over time, and to investigate whether healthcare utilization and the occurrence of acute clinical events differ by frailty status and trajectories. What are the most important results?

We found that, over time, older adults have been living longer with frailty. Furthermore, the findings suggest a correlation between higher levels of frailty after the age of 60 and the occurrence of more acute clinical events, including myocardial infarctions, lower respiratory tract infections, and injurious falls.

The study revealed that individuals afflicted with frailty or prefrailty experience an elevated risk of avoidable hospitalizations following the age of 60. Furthermore, it was observed that those who exhibited prolonged frailty or rapid progression to frailty within the final fifteen years of their life experienced a decline in inpatient and outpatient care in their last year of life. However, this did not translate into protection against avoidable hospitalizations in their final year prior to death. A higher incidence of avoidable hospitalizations after the age of 60 and at the end of life was observed among relatively younger adults, and women, with frailty. In contrast, a lower rate of such hospitalizations was observed among individuals receiving formal social care, and at the end of life, informal care.

KAROLINSKA INSTITUTET: KEY TRANSCRIPTION-FACTOR 'SWITCHES' IDENTIFIED IN NEUROBLASTOMA

In a recent study published in Developmental Cell, researchers at Karolinska Institutet created a comprehensive map of neuroblastoma at the cellular level by integrating single-cell transcriptomics, single-cell multi-omics, and spatial transcriptomics.

High-risk neuroblastoma kills roughly half of affected children because the tumor can switch cell identity and evade therapy. By combining single-cell multi-omics with spatial transcriptomics, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have constructed a cell-by-cell roadmap of these state transitions.

The researchers revealed an enhancer‑primed epigenetic landscape that gives neuroblastoma cells the latent capacity to shift between developmental programs. They also discovered a hidden intermediate state that orchestrates these transitions. By finding the enhancer-driven gene networks that power these shifts, they identified key transcription-factor 'switches' whose inhibition locks the cancer into a less aggressive state. Effectiveness of existing treatments

"High-risk neuroblastoma remains deadly because its tumor cells can change their transcriptomic identity and sidestep therapy. Our study pinpoints the intermediate 'bridge' cell state that mediates this plasticity and maps the gene regulatory networks that control it, giving researchers clear molecular targets for new drugs and combination therapies," explains Yizhou Hu, co-author and principal researcher at the Department of Laboratory Medicine at Karolinska Institutet.

KAROLINSKA INSTITUTET: FATTY LIVER IN PREGNANCY MAY INCREASE RISK OF PRETERM BIRTH

Pregnant women with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) have an increased risk of giving birth prematurely and the risk increase cannot be explained by obesity, according to a new study from Karolinska Institutet published in the journal eClinicalMedicine.

It is estimated that one in five people in Sweden has MASLD, previously called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and globally it may be as many as three out of ten. Common risk factors are metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity. The disease has become increasingly common, including among women of reproductive age. Researchers have now investigated the association between maternal MASLD and pregnancy and neonatal birth outcomes. Threefold increase in risk

The study is based on Swedish registry data and includes a total of 240 births among women with MASLD and 1140 matched births of women from the general population. Women with MASLD were more than three times more likely to give birth prematurely. The risk did not increase with MASLD severity and the increase in risk persisted even when compared to overweight or obese women without known MASLD.

LUND UNIVERSITY: HIGHER SUCCESS RATE USING A SIMPLE ORAL SWAB TEST BEFORE IVF

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have conducted a clinical study to show how a woman's genetic profile provides information on which hormone treatment is most effective for in vitro fertilisation (IVF). The researchers have now developed a simple oral swab test that shows which hormone therapy is the best option for IVF treatment

About 15 per cent of all couples of reproductive age are involuntarily childless. A major reason why so many need assisted reproduction is that nowadays more and more people are putting off starting a family.

"This is a global trend that is expected to increase in the coming years. In Europe alone, one million IVF treatments are carried out each year; in Sweden, the corresponding number is 25,000," says Yvonne Lundberg Giwercman, professor at Lund University who led the research. She has been researching fertility in both men and women for many years.

LUND UNIVERSITY: HOW ANIMAL LIFE EXPLODED ON EARTH

About 540 million years ago, our planet suddenly erupted with life, filling our oceans with a diversity of complex life. This is known as the Cambrian explosion, and for a long time scientists agreed it was triggered by a rise in oxygen levels in the atmosphere. But new research from Emma Hammarlund at Lund University is turning the tables completely on what scientists thought they knew to be true - for decades. How did Hammarlund end up going down an entirely different path? Emma Hammarlund Emma Hammarlund telling the curious story of how animal life might have evolved on Earth Watch Emma Hammarlund's mini lecture here

Could you describe the journey from forming your contrarian theory, to working with cancer researchers, and finally to what we now know thanks to your research?

Oh, that is a long story! A good microbiologist pointed out to me that geologists are in a particularly tricky field, since it is hard to go back into the lab and test hypotheses.

Around that same time, conflicting observations were being made regarding the "oxygen story" surrounding the Cambrian explosion. That, along with her comment, made me want to go back into the lab and study the formation and diversification of multicellularity - that is - complex life, and therefore, animal life.

I ended up choosing cancer tumours as a model, although I shall admit it is an ugly and incorrect model of multicellularity, but it had to do. It was something I could study in a lab environment.

My first observation was that cancer cells do not care at all about oxygen. It was very humbling to realize that most processes in our body occur in a relatively low oxygen environment. For example, stem cells and tissue renewal may be particularly sensitive to oxygen. This was a new conundrum that I got very interested to explore. I've learned and keep learning a tremendous amount from the cancer field.

MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY: FALL 2025 TUITION & FEE CHANGES

At Mississippi State University, we are committed to maintaining transparency in the assessment of tuition and fees. Beginning Fall 2025, MSU will implement changes to some aspects of its tuition and fee structure that will improve fairness, clarity, and sustainability.

TRANSITION FROM CAPPED TUITION TO OVERLOAD TUITION

MSU has endeavored over the decades to provide the highest quality education, at a very reasonable cost, to maximize the return on investment in higher education made by our students and their families. In doing so, our tuition model has been built on MSU undergraduates paying tuition by credit hour up to and including 12 hours, at which a student is officially full-time, and the tuition is "capped." The negative aspects of this model, and likely the reasons it is no longer in use at many peer institutions, is because it does not reflect the actual costs of delivering instruction to students taking 15, 18, or even 21 hours in a semester, which is borne in part by students taking fewer hours. Taking steps to achieve fairness to all students while not disincentivizing overload hours because of the potential implications on time to degree and cost of education has led to a structure attempting to achieve both objectives.

MSMS STUDENT PARTNERS WITH MSU FOR NEW SUPERFOOD RESEARCH

Greenwood native Anderson Chaney, an 11th grader attending the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science, has spent the year conducting groundbreaking research at Mississippi State.

The high school intern has helped researchers in the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station's Environmental Plant Physiology Lab study Centella asiatica, a medicinal herb known in India for its cognitive and health benefits. Raja Reddy, a MAFES scientist and research professor in the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, has served as the rising high school student's mentor.

"Centella is widely used in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries," Reddy said. "It contains active compounds like asiaticoside and madecassoside, known to enhance cognitive function, soothe the nervous system, enhance wound healing and improve skin and hair health."

With Reddy's help, Chaney helped uncover new possibilities for this potential specialty herb crop in Mississippi. He was selected for MSMS's competitive research mentorship program, which pairs exceptional high school students with university faculty. Through this opportunity, he joined the MAFES lab and has been collaborating with postdoctoral researchers to study the plant's health benefits and market viability.

Chaney's journey into plant-based research has involved weekly visits to MSU's campus, where he spent approximately five hours a week in the greenhouse and laboratory. He monitored chlorophyll content using leaf clip sensors, measured stem length and leaf area, and analyzed plant weight throughout the experimental period.

NEW YORK UNIVERSITY: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND GENETICS CAN HELP FARMERS GROW CORN WITH LESS FERTILIZER

New York University scientists are using artificial intelligence to determine which genes collectively govern nitrogen use efficiency in plants such as corn, with the goal of helping farmers improve their crop yields and minimize the cost of nitrogen fertilizers.

"By identifying genes-of-importance to nitrogen utilization, we can select for or even modify certain genes to enhance nitrogen use efficiency in major US crops like corn," said Gloria Coruzzi, the Carroll & Milton Petrie Professor in NYU's Department of Biology and Center for Genomics and Systems Biology and the senior author of the study, which appears in the journal The Plant Cell.

In the last 50 years, farmers have been able to grow larger crop yields thanks to major improvements in plant breeding and fertilizers, including how efficiently crops uptake and use nitrogen, the key component of fertilizers.

Still, most crops only use roughly 55 percent of the nitrogen in fertilizer that farmers apply to their fields, while the remainder ends up in the surrounding soil. When nitrogen seeps into groundwater, it can contaminate drinking water and cause harmful algae blooms in lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and warm ocean waters. Furthermore, the unused nitrogen that remains in the soil is converted by bacteria into nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas that is 265 times more effective at trapping heat over a 100-year period than is carbon dioxide.

The question of who controls the Fed is an important issue of discussion today. President Trump is not happy with the Fed's recent actions on interest rates. Consequently, he has talked about replacing the current chairperson of the Fed, Jerome Powell.

EVANSTON, Ill. --- During the first half of the 20th century, many states passed labor laws in response to the influx of women into the modern workplace.

OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY: FOURTH-YEAR VETERINARY STUDENTS VOLUNTEER AT 53RD IDITAROD TRAIL SLED DOG RACE

For 12 fourth-year Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine students, a veterinary rotation in Alaska became the opportunity of a lifetime: volunteering at the 53rd Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, often called "The Last Great Race on Earth."

The annual event is a 1,000+ mile journey across the icy Alaskan wilderness, testing the endurance and resilience of mushers and their teams of elite sled dogs. This year, the race route was extended to around 1,150 miles due to a relocated start in Fairbanks, a change prompted by poor snow conditions in Anchorage.

While the students originally traveled to Alaska for a canine exercise physiology rotation led by Dr. Michael Davis, OSU CVM professor and a specialist in sled dog medicine, their experience expanded significantly when they took the initiative to get involved with the Iditarod.

"I just thought, 'Why not reach out and ask?'" student Ally Williams said. "We were sitting around and talking about how cool it would be to go to the start of the race, and so I emailed the head veterinarian."

Although all official veterinary positions had been filled, the students were eventually connected with the veterinary technician and offered roles supporting the restart in Fairbanks. Davis gave the green light for their participation, and the students hit the road - literally - with a five-and-a-half-hour drive from Wasilla to Fairbanks.

"We're proud to celebrate our graduates who, through education, are advancing their careers and enriching their communities," said Dr. Johnny Stephens, president of OSU-Tulsa and OSU Center for Health Sciences. "What they've earned is more than just a credential - it gives them the confidence, perspective and leadership skills to lead Orange Country forward."

This year marks the first OSU-Tulsa commencement ceremony to feature a special Orange Gown graduate from the OSU College of Professional Studies, which is headquartered at OSU-Tulsa. Each spring, one graduate from each of OSU's academic colleges is selected to wear this distinguished orange regalia in recognition of their academic achievements, participation in organizations and overall dedication to their experiences at OSU.

Organizational leadership major Abby McElroy is this spring's Orange Gown graduate. As a full-time investment manager and mother of two, McElroy's nontraditional path to earning her degree was challenging, but she credits her family and support from OSU for helping her achieve her goal and reach Orange Gown status.

"I wanted to set a good example for my kids. Being a first-generation college student and doing it later in life shows them that anything's possible," she said. "I'm 40-plus years old, working full time with a full family and I can still get it done - so they can too."

Dr. Mallory Casebolt, associate professor and Hardesty Endowed Chair in Aviation Sciences in the College of Education and Human Sciences, and Dr. Raj Singh, Regents Professor in the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology, will serve as grand marshals.

When Lauren Reed received a brochure about Oklahoma State University's MBA program, her mother asked to see it.

Curious about her daughter's next steps, Monica Reed perused the pages. She excitedly pointed out one-course description, then another.

At that moment, in the fall of 2024, the Spears School of Business recruited an MBA student.

Lauren, a management major from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, didn't need convincing. She already planned to take the 4+1 pathway, which puts her on track to obtain her undergraduate degree from OSU this December and add an MBA only a year later.

The new MBA applicant was her mom.

"I'm so pumped for her because I know this is something she's wanted to do for years," Lauren said.

Monica hadn't taken a college course since obtaining her bachelor's degree in 2002 from the University of Oklahoma. Over the past two decades, she stayed busy as a working professional and mom of two, setting aside her dream of a postgraduate degree.

Instantaneously, answers fill the computer screen. Price updates and forecasts are available from multiple sources. A recent Oklahoma Farm Report article pops up. Links to the Oklahoma State University Extension website appear.

All of these resources could assist with managing the family farm. Although the term "high-speed internet" might evoke images of corporate employees sitting behind computers in city skyscrapers, internet access is also revolutionizing the rural industry, changing how farmers feed the United States.

Dr. Minhae Kim, an assistant professor in the Spears School of Business Department of Economics, explored this topic as the lead author of "Bridging the rural divide: The impact of broadband grants on U.S. agriculture." Coauthored with Dr. Jayash Paudel from the University of Oklahoma, the paper is published in European Review of Agricultural Economics, but it focuses on an American program that launched in 2002.

OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY: HESS HAS SPENT CAREER SERVING STUDENTS AND BUILDING INSTITUTIONS

Jim Hess has done it all.

He had a prolific career in higher education spanning over four decades before he was inducted into the Oklahoma Education Hall of Fame in 2023 and named the 20th president of the OSU System this spring.

A man and a woman are standing side by side in a well-decorated room. The man is wearing a black sweater and blue jeans, while the woman is wearing a white sweater with the word 'pokes' written on it in orange letters and dark jeans. They are standing between two orange armchairs with patterned curtains behind them and a window that lets in natural light.But he wasn't thinking about leading a university when he was working his first job - selling vacuums. It wasn't front of mind when he was working for Walmart in college, nor was it on his radar when he arrived at OSU in the fall of 1975, securing his first employment position at the university - shoveling stalls at the College of Veterinary Medicine (Yes, you read that right).

Then, a conversation with his mentor, Richard Mosier, foretold the future, setting him on the pathway to a doctorate in education and a lifetime of service to higher education in Oklahoma. Hess was working at Rogers State College in Claremore then, and Mosier was president of the institution, which would eventually be split into different entities, including OSU-Tulsa.

"He told me, in my first conversation with him, he said, 'You don't know it, but you're gonna spend your entire career in higher ed," Hess said.

Hess recalled he initially scoffed at the idea, but when Mosier offered him the role of assistant to the president, he was open to believing. He was a young 20-something, still making plenty of mistakes, but his work ethic didn't go unnoticed. He was met with support and encouragement that eventually led him to Stillwater and a doctorate in education.

"I thank the Lord every day for Richard Mosier, because he put me on a path that I would otherwise not have been on," Hess said. In His Words

On advice for students:

"One of the things that I like to encourage students to do is to experience the arts. I'm a big OSU athletics fan, but we also have a lot of great arts programs at this institution, and the arts are how we discover who we are as human beings, and it gives us a tie, not just to other people, but to the past. The arts remind us of our humanness, and so I always encourage students to experience the performing arts, the visual arts and music and broaden their horizons, because those are things you just don't want to miss out on in life."

On his trademark bow ties:

President Hess' stylistic trademark is the bow tie, and he estimates he has about 80 of them - many of them orange and black, of course.

"I think it's just kind of a distinction, and I think it sets me apart. It's kind of a throwback, but it's making a big comeback. Many young men wear bow ties now, but I've always enjoyed wearing one. Angela's not a fan; she prefers the longer ties. The problem with those ties is that you spend a lot of money on one of those longer ties. Now you may spend some money on a bow tie, but you won't ruin it with spaghetti sauce or soup."

On his favorite spots on campus:

"My favorite spot on campus is the library. As a student here, I spent every night in the library, because I had to study a lot. So every time I walk by on the sidewalk, I always look over to Edmon Low Library, because in my mind, it takes me back. Of course, the library is different now.

I also like to walk through the Student Union, because there are always students in there, and it's a great opportunity just to be able to talk to them. I like to hear what they want to do, where they're from, why they came here, what motivated them to pick OSU. So, wherever the students are, it is a great place for me to be because that's the only reason we're here."

On his Favorite food:

"You can't go wrong with barbecue. So I love to frequent a couple of barbecue spots here in Stillwater, and I've got a couple, of course, in eastern Oklahoma, where I'm from."

Mosier and other Hess supporters would be proven right about him time and time again.

The Henryetta native helped establish OSU-Tulsa and Rogers State University as separate institutions, doubled OSU-Tulsa's enrollment, created the Big Orange Bus, expanded the OSU Physicians Group and served an instrumental role in the acquisition of the teaching hospital, creating what is now OSU Medical Center. He also played a key role in developing and leading the OSU Medical Authority and the OSU Veterinary Medicine Authority and Trust.

PURDUE EARNS 16TH CONSECUTIVE TREE CAMPUS USA AWARD

For the 16th year in a row, Purdue University has been honored with the Tree Campus USA award, highlighting its ongoing commitment to preserving and enhancing campus green spaces. This recognition reflects the strategic planning, dedication and care invested in maintaining a healthy and thriving urban forest.

Thanks to the efforts of the Grounds department and key partnerships with Campus Planning, Forestry, the Purdue Arboretum, Horticulture and Purdue for Life, Purdue's campus is home to 13,779 trees, with 733 new trees planted this year while only 135 were removed. The completion of the 1869 Tree Plan has contributed to an increase in tree diversity, bringing the total number of varieties and cultivars on campus to 459.

Community engagement remains a key aspect in Purdue's commitment to cultivating and maintaining healthy green spaces. Arbor Day 2024 saw the planting of 286 trees at Horticulture Park, while the Purdue Day of Service, held during Green Week, led to the planting of 33 additional trees near the McCutcheon Drive Parking Garage.

Beyond these planting efforts, Purdue continues to prioritize the long-term health and sustainability of its urban forest. Through routine assessments, pruning and plant health care techniques, the university ensures that both newly planted and mature trees receive the necessary care to thrive. The Grounds department also actively monitors at-risk trees and works to mitigate potential issues related to disease, pests and environmental stressors.

The guest speaker was John Guillory, Emeritus Professor of English, from New York University.

The lecture addressed a problem in Pierre Bourdieu's conception of the three forms of capital: "material, cultural, and social", specifically his limited discussion of social capital compared to cultural capital.

Professor Guillory applied Bourdieu's theory to an analysis of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby (1925), establishing the relation between cultural capital and social capital as two forms of "knowing". In the novel, this relation correlates Jay Gatsby's desire for social capital which he uses to pursue Daisy Buchanan, as part of Fitzgerald's bid for the text's canonical status as a "great" American novel.

RWTH Rector Professor Ulrich Rudiger (left) and Professor Kai-Uwe Schroder (right), Chairman of the RWTH Senate, present Professor Karsten Danzmann with his certificate. Karsten Danzmann is one of the world's leading researchers in the field of experimental gravitational physics. Researchers working in his "Laser Interferometry and Gravitational Wave Astronomy" department design and operate large gravitational wave detectors both on Earth and in space. Danzmann's team is also greatly involved in the development of the Einstein Telescope, the third-generation European gravitational wave detector. Astrophysicists wish to use the Einstein Telescope to gain completely new insights into both the Big Bang and black holes. The telescope detects gravitational waves from space, and these waves allow the researchers to draw conclusions about events from the time when the first structures were formed in the universe and the first stars were created.

"RWTH ACKNOWLEDGES ITS GUILT AND HISTORICAL RESPONSIBILITY"

Ludwig Otto Blumenthal: an outstanding mathematician, esteemed professor at the University, and a member of the prestigious Leopoldina Academy of Sciences. And then? Denounced by students because of his Jewish heritage, discriminated against, and dismissed by the Nazis. In 1944, he was deported and died in the Theresienstadt ghetto.

Today, Blumenthal stands as a symbol for all the scholars at RWTH who were demoted, persecuted, and expelled during the Nazi era. On the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and Germany's liberation from Nazi rule, RWTH not only commemorated these individuals but also formally apologized for the injustice they endured.

"RWTH acknowledges its guilt and its historical responsibility," said Professor Dominik Gross, director of the Institute for the History, Theory, and Ethics of Medicine. The rector of RWTH, Professor Ulrich Rudiger, emphasized: "We have a duty to keep their memory alive and to learn from history. Let us remember together how vital it is to stand up for freedom, tolerance, and human rights. May this commemoration inspire all of us to work toward an open and just society, with humanity at its core."

The ceremony was deeply moving, attended by members of the Blumenthal family, who traveled from Great Britain for the occasion, along with the grandson of Professor Josef Pirlet and the great-granddaughter of Professor Ludwig Strauss. Like Blumenthal, civil engineer Josef Pirlet and literary scholar Ludwig Strauss were forced to leave the University during this darkest chapter in German history. "Your presence is a profound honor and a powerful sign of solidarity and reconciliation," said Ulrich Rudiger.

SEMO's team, comprised of students Deepshikha Karki, Abhishek Shrestha, Noah Lynch and Krishna Thakar, tackled a massive, previously unseen dataset from a corporate sponsor over a 24-hour sprint. The students were challenged to clean, analyze and model over 200,000 data points to uncover insights and present their findings-all using just three slides. SEMO students smile for a photo with Proffesors Thompson and Sheha after their 2025 DataFest win.

Dr. Emmanuel Thompson, SEMO mathematics professor and one of the team's faculty mentors, explained that DataFest is unlike anything taught in the classroom.

"It's virgin data-huge, messy, and real. Students must develop research questions, determine what part of the data can answer them, and craft a compelling story with their analysis," said Thompson.

This year marked SEMO's third year participating in the event. The team spent the spring semester preparing under the guidance of Dr. Mohamed Abu Sheha, an assistant professor of mathematics at SEMO and Dr. Thompson, meeting weekly to build skills in data wrangling, hypothesis development and statistical modeling. Their preparation paid off. Judges commended SEMO's team for their ability to tie conclusions directly to their research questions-a hallmark of excellence in data science.

SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY SYSTEMSIU STUDENTS CREATE MARKETING PLANS FOR REAL CLIENTS, INCLUDING AN ICONIC THEATER

As the iconic Varsity Theater prepares to celebrate its 85th birthday next month, a Southern Illinois University Carbondale senior hospitality marketing management class presented proposed marketing plans for the Varsity Center's second life as an arts and entertainment venue.

It's all part of the experiential learning that's intrinsic to the classes taught by Niki Davis, director of the hospitality, tourism and event management (HTEM) program and professor of practice.

"Our mantra is that the community is part of our classroom, and this project illustrates that," Davis said. "The idea is for them to explore real-world challenges and issues and viable marketing plans that translate into real-world applications."

Billy Robbins, board president of the Varsity Center, was excited when Davis offered to have her students create marketing plans for the not-for-profit center.

"The Varsity is a great living lab," Robbins said. "Students can develop real practical curriculum vitae level experience that they can put on their resumes. We are thrilled to provide this opportunity and take part in this level of marketing experience. What's exciting about marketing is the foundational pillars don't change. The expression is always changing. The structure evolves. There's always something new, something better, but the Salukis get a great knowledge of the basics and the foundation in their courses, and then with projects like this, they really show what they are capable of."

Davis advised her students to take their marketing plans along on job interviews as they are sure to impress prospective employers. The program already has some remarkable statistics, she said.

"Many years, we have a 100% placement rate with all of our graduates obtaining jobs or attending graduate school immediately after commencement," Davis said. "And our alumni are all over the country in all segments of the tourism and hospitality industry."

"I feel quite strongly that his being elected pope will spark increased interest in what Catholicism stands for," Brown said. "Will he be a 'second Pope Francis'? Of course not. But he will continue to be a force for protecting the common good of all people everywhere.

"He has had a global ministry for most of his life. That will continue. And I think he will inspire many of our young people to step into the world and make a positive difference, knowing that they are sisters and brothers to everyone.
