Special episode: Safe Food Today for a Healthy Tomorrow |
|
World Food Safety Day aims to draw attention to foodborne risks and inspire action to prevent, detect and manage risks. This important work contributes to food security, human health, economic prosperity, agriculture, market access, tourism and sustainable development. The World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations jointly facilitate the observance of World Food Safety Day, in collaboration with member states and other relevant organizations. This international day is an opportunity to strengthen efforts to ensure that the food we eat is safe, mainstream food safety in the public agenda and reduce the burden of foodborne diseases globally.

NSF Workshop: Functional Logic of Neural Circuits: Diamonds in the Rough |
|
June 10-11, 2021
One of the largest challenges to understanding how collections of neurons create behavior is making sense of the increasing amounts of data that is being collected from model organisms. Numerous efforts are currently underway to complete the connectome, perform whole-brain imaging, and measure the function of the neurons that make up the nervous systems of several species. However, new methods that allow us to integrate and make sense of this data need to be developed in order to create comprehensive models. This workshop will bring together pioneers from neural circuits with expertise from different fields, including experimental, computational, and theoretical disciplines to define the most important topics and questions to address this challenge.

The experimental drug TEMPOL may be a promising oral antiviral treatment for COVID-19, suggests a study of cell cultures by researchers at the National Institutes of Health. TEMPOL can limit SARS-CoV-2 infection by impairing the activity of a viral enzyme called RNA replicase. The work was led by researchers at NIH’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). The study appears in Science. nih.gov
A new cybersecurity threat intelligence sharing system that will help research and education organizations prevent and mitigate cyberattacks was announced Monday.
Higher education information technology and cybersecurity organizations in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada and Australia will collaborate to share intelligence on malware attacks using a platform called MISP. insidehighered.com
Elephant trunks are capable of astonishing feats of suction, according to new research. The study, published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, finds that these muscular, 200-pound nasal appendages can suck up three liters (0.8 gallons) of water in a second, a mind-boggling flow rate equal to about 24 shower heads, reports Katherine J. Wu for the Atlantic. Moving that much water so quickly requires inhaling air at a breathtaking 330 miles per hour. That's 30-times faster than a human sneeze and faster than most high-speed trains.smithsonianmag.com
