The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) is hereby transmitting the report of the third meeting of the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) Emergency Committee (Committee) regarding the upsurge of mpox 2024, held on Tuesday, 25 February 2025, from 12:00 to 17:00 CET. Concurring with the advice unanimously expressed by the Committee during the meeting, the WHO Director-General determined that the upsurge of mpox 2024 continues to meet the criteria of a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) and, accordingly, on 27 February 2025, issued temporary recommendations to States Parties. The WHO Director-General expresses his most sincere gratitude…

Dr. Julia Dallman, an Associate Professor of Biology at the University of Miami, is set to explore a novel approach to addressing gastrointestinal (GI) challenges associated with SYNGAP1-related disorders (SRD). With recent funding of $65,000 from the SynGAP Research Fund (SRF), her research aims to investigate familiar concerns such as chronic constipation and feeding difficulties that significantly affect the quality of life of individuals living with this rare genetic disorder. The grant, awarded as part of SRF’s ongoing commitment to advancing knowledge around SYNGAP1, emphasizes the importance of addressing the lesser-discussed but highly debilitating symptoms that can accompany more recognized…

In a groundbreaking stride towards sustainable food production, researchers at the University of Copenhagen have unveiled an innovative hybrid cheese that aligns both taste preferences and environmental considerations. The advent of this hybrid paneer marks an important development in the cheese-making industry, where heavy reliance on dairy has long raised concerns about ecological impact. The question of how to produce cheese alternatives that satisfy consumer palates while also addressing sustainability challenges has spurred extensive research over the past few years. Highly acclaimed across different cultures for its creamy texture and versatility in culinary applications, cheese has become a staple food…

In a groundbreaking development, researchers at Kyoto University have made a remarkable leap in the field of materials science by engineering the world’s first three-dimensional van der Waals open frameworks (WaaFs). This innovation overturns a long-held belief in the materials science community, which posited that van der Waals interactions were insufficiently strong to support the construction of stable open framework materials. The study, published in the esteemed journal Nature Chemistry, unfolds a novel perspective on the potential applications of these previously underestimated interactions. The formation of WaaFs fundamentally relies on octahedral metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) as primary building blocks. These MOPs…

Post provided by Sthandiwe Nomthandazo Kanyile The British Ecological Society (BES) held its Annual Meeting in Liverpool in December last year, attracting over 1,600 delegates from around the world! As the oldest ecological society in the world, the BES has a rich history of promoting ecological research, serving as a vital hub for scientists, practitioners, and conservationists across the globe. So, when plans were set in motion for me to attend the meeting, I was ecstatic. This conference marked the first of many occasions for me: it was my first BES conference and the largest scientific gathering I had ever…

Researchers from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a groundbreaking approach for safeguarding crucial infrastructure utilizing the principles of algorithms that power major search engines. Their innovative use of Google’s PageRank algorithm represents an extraordinary leap in protective measures against external threats, particularly in the face of possible cyberattacks. The urgency of this research arises from growing concerns of infrastructure vulnerabilities that can potentially disrupt essential services, including electricity, clean water, and healthcare facilities, during emergencies or crises. These algorithms, so vital in guiding people through their online experience, can now be applied to the realm of critical infrastructure.…
