- 1NASA Goddard shows how the PACE satellite tracks wildfire smoke▼🛰️ ICYMI: # NASA # Goddard illustrates how # smoke behaves as an atmospheric mixture of gases and suspended aerosols rat
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center has published a visual explainer showing that wildfire smoke behaves as an atmospheric mixture of gases and suspended aerosols rather than a single cloud. The piece highlights how the PACE satellite collects orbital data on light scattering, helping scientists track and study wildfire smoke as it moves through the atmosphere.
- 2What elite athletes teach us about healthcare's future▼What elite athletes can teach us about the future of healthcare
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Center is hosting a discussion on what elite athletes can teach the medical world. The event explores how sports science — performance monitoring, injury prevention, recovery and personalised training data — could shape the future of healthcare for the wider population. Speakers are expected to draw parallels between how athletes' health is optimised and how everyday medicine might adopt similar approaches.
- 3UNM Health Sciences Center Updates on Cybersecurity Incident▼Update on Cybersecurity Event at UNM Health Sciences Center
The University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center issued an update on a cybersecurity event affecting its systems. The announcement provides the institution's latest public statement on the incident, though specific details about the scope, cause, or impact on hospital and research operations were not included in the update. Staff, patients and students are watching for further guidance as the investigation continues.
- 4DNA called the most sophisticated information system we know●Forget billionaire data centers. The most sophisticated information system we know of is inside you. DNA uses just four
A science commentary circulating online argues that DNA outclasses billionaire-funded data centers as an information system: just four chemical letters encode the instructions for building and running a human body, from eye color and heartbeat to the senses and brain. The comparison is being shared as a reflection on how compact and efficient biological storage is compared with the vast industrial infrastructure of modern computing.
- 5New book excerpt links tech billionaires' dreams to data center boom●“These science‑fictional ideas are directly relevant to the question of data centers because more computation is necessa
Writer Paris Marx has published a new excerpt from his book HYPERSCALE, arguing that science-fiction-inspired visions held by tech billionaires are directly driving the expansion of massive data centers. He contends that longtermist fantasies about the future require ever more computation, and that this ideology is shaping real-world infrastructure decisions and energy demands today.
- 6UCLA Library's Data Science Center closes amid consolidation▼UCLA Library’s Data Science Center closed amid consolidation effort
UCLA has closed its Library's Data Science Center as part of a broader consolidation effort within the university library system. The move, reported by the Daily Bruin, affects students and researchers who relied on the center for data science support and training. The closure has prompted discussion on campus about how data services will be provided going forward.
