The University of Arkansas at Little Rock has been awarded a $561,000 grant from the National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (NCAE-C) program at the National Security Agency to spearhead a coalition of institutions who will offer an innovative summer program for junior high and high school students who want to learn the latest skills in cybersecurity.
A joint research team has developed an energy system model optimized for Korea's environment and proposed an optimal strategy for utilizing hydrogen energy. The scientific evidence derived from this research is expected to support the development of government policies and research and development strategies related to carbon neutrality.
According to new research from UC San Diego School of Medicine, men and women rely on different biological systems for pain relief, which could help explain why our most powerful pain medications are often less effective in women.
With vigorous debate surrounding the health of the monarch butterfly, new research from the University of Georgia may have answered the biggest question plaguing butterfly researchers. Why are the wintering populations declining while breeding populations are stable? Published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study suggests that monarchs are dying off during their fall migration south to Mexico.
When it comes to mating, two things matter for Heliconius butterflies: the look and the smell of their potential partner. The black and orange butterflies have incredibly small brains, yet they must process both sensory inputs at the same time — which is more than current artificial intelligence (AI) technologies can achieve without significant energy consumption. To make AI as smart as the butterflies, a team of Penn State researchers has created a multi-sensory AI platform that is both more advanced and uses less energy than other AI technologies.
Mary T. Hawn, MD, MPH, FACS, a distinguished leader in surgical research, education, and clinical care, will be honored with the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Owen H. Wangensteen Scientific Forum Award at the ACS Clinical Congress 2024 in San Francisco, California. The award recognizes a surgeon who exemplifies excellence in clinical practice, research, and education, mirroring the achievements of the late Dr. Owen H. Wangensteen, a trailblazing figure in academic surgery.
Five surgeons will be recognized for their remarkable efforts to deliver medical care to underserved communities, receiving the 2024 American College of Surgeons (ACS)/Pfizer Surgical Volunteerism and Humanitarian Awards. These awards highlight their selfless dedication to improving access to surgical care in areas of great need.
The American College of Surgeons (ACS) will present David B. Hoyt, MD, FACS, with the ACS Lifetime Achievement Award at the ACS Clinical Congress 2024 in San Francisco, California. Dr. Hoyt is the sixth recipient of the award in the ACS’ more than 110-year history.
Barbara J. Pettitt, MD, MHPE, FACS, a surgeon educator from Emory University whose career has combined pediatric surgical care with roles that have advanced education for surgeons in training, is the 2024 recipient of the Dr. Mary Edwards Walker Inspiring Women in Surgery Award.
C. William Schwab, MD, FACS, FRCS (Commander, USN), will receive the Distinguished Lifetime Military Contribution Award at the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Clinical Congress 2024 in San Francisco, California.
Layton F. Rikkers, MD, FACS, an emeritus professor of hepatobiliary, pancreatic, and gastrointestinal surgery at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, will receive the Distinguished Service Award of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) — the ACS’ highest honor — at the Convocation ceremony during the ACS Clinical Congress 2024 in San Francisco, California.
A new poll shows 74% of older adults would not trust online health information if it were generated by artificial intelligence, and that 20% have little or no confidence they could spot health misinformation if they came across it on the internet.
In the ongoing effort to enhance crop efficiency, researchers have uncovered key genetic components of photosynthesis in tomatoes. A new study highlights the PetM domain-containing protein, crucial for the electron transport chain in chloroplasts, and its role in plant growth under different light conditions. By knocking out the PetM gene, scientists observed significant effects on photosynthesis, providing fresh insights into how plants adapt to varying light environments. This discovery could pave the way for improving crop resilience and productivity.
A pivotal study has illuminated how woodland strawberries launch rapid defense mechanisms against Botrytis cinerea, the fungus responsible for devastating gray mold. Using high-resolution RNA sequencing, researchers mapped the strawberry’s swift systemic response and the pathogen’s persistent gene activity during early infection stages. These findings are key to advancing strategies aimed at enhancing plant immunity, offering promising directions for safeguarding strawberry crops from this widespread disease.
Climate change has a negative impact on food security. An international research team led by Wolfram Weckwerth from the University of Vienna has now conducted a study to investigate the natural variation of different chickpea genotypes and their resistance to drought stress.
Experts in infection prevention and control available for interview about research findings and other breaking health topics including the flu, COVID, HIV, mpox, West Nile, and vaccinations
