Title: Convergence Science in the Arctic
Summary: The Arctic is having a meltdown, literally and figuratively. It’s getting warmer, colder, wetter, drier, and more unpredictable. This is messing with the animals, the plants, the ice, and the people who live there. It’s also messing with the rest of the world, because the Arctic is a key player in the global climate system. To understand and solve these complex problems, we need to bring together experts from different fields, like climate, biology, engineering, and social sciences. This is called convergence science, and it’s like a super-powered team that can tackle any challenge.

Title: Outstanding Seniors in the College of Science: Ansh Gupta

Title: Web of Science Research Intelligence
Summary: University leaders, listen up! We know you’re facing a major challenge: trying to keep track of all the research happening at your institution. It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack, except the haystack is made up of different point solutions that don’t talk to each other. But fear not, because we’ve got the solution! Our platform is like a superhero that can access all the data you need in one place. No more searching through silos of information – we’ve got you covered!

Title: Eckerd College Summer Science Splash Camp gets $22K grant to help underserved students learn STEM and have fun
Summary: Community Foundation Tampa Bay is a 501(c)(3) public charity that loves to give back to the community. They recently awarded a grant to help provide partial or full scholarships to campers from low-income families. And guess what? So far, 32 families have received scholarship assistance, which means about one-third of campers can now enjoy the great outdoors without worrying about the cost. Talk about a win-win situation!

Title: Poultry Researcher Named Fellow of American…
Summary: Tom Porter is a Distinguished University of Maryland Professor and interim chair of the Department of Animal and Avian Sciences. He’s also a world-renowned expert in boosting poultry production, which is pretty important for global food security. Porter has been funded for 33 consecutive years across all three areas, which is like winning the lottery 33 times in a row. He’s also won over $28 million in external awards, which is like winning the lottery $28 million times in a row. Talk about a jackpot!

Title: Learning to listen
Summary: Adele Wolfson: After I hung up my chalk at Wellesley College, I decided to share some of my wisdom with the world. She says listening is the key to mentoring, as well as to life. Wolfson says the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology has finally realized that women are not just a bunch of nerds who like to play with test tubes.

Title: Jets make several changes to sports performance/science department
Summary: The Jets have decided to shake things up in their sports performance and sports science department. Brad DeWeese, the director of high performance, has been fired for being too slow on the field. Robert Sausaman, the assistant director of highperformance, has quit to pursue his dream of becoming a professional golfer. And Matt Sams, the director of sports science, has been replaced by a robot who can run faster than a cheetah.

Title: Random processes shape science and math: Researchers propose a unified, probabilistic framework
Summary: SFI Professor David Wolpert, a physicist, and former SFI Omidyar Fellow David Kinney, a philosopher and cognitive scientist, have come up with a groundbreaking idea that will blow your mind! They believe that math, the physical universe, and even humans can all be described using a unified, probabilistic framework. In this framework, math and science are like a never-ending game of asking and answering questions. Who knew that math could be so fun?

Title: Congressional letter seeks big increase in NASA science budget
Summary: More than 40 House members have signed a letter asking for a significant increase in NASA’s science budget for 2025. The additional funding would build up buying power for NASA science programs eroded by inflation. Congressional sources are doubtful that advocates will get any increase in science funding. But hey, at least they’ll have more money to buy fancy rockets and spacesuits, right?

Title: Polymer science pioneer recognized with Hovorka Prize
Summary: Hatsuo Ishida, the esteemed faculty member at Case Western Reserve University, has been teaching for almost half a century. And now, he’s getting a well-deserved award for his contributions to the world of polymer-based materials.
