Politico reports on a coordinated campaign of harassment and intimidation directed at climate scientists. The piece details how researchers studying climate change have faced personal attacks, disinformation efforts and pressure campaigns aimed at discrediting their work and discouraging them from speaking publicly. The reporting raises concerns about the chilling effect on scientific research and public debate over climate policy.
- 5UNECE urges greener defaults to ease sustainable energy choicesβCut the hassle, introduce greener defaults and make sustainable energy choices easier, urges UNECE
The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe is calling on governments and industry to remove friction from sustainable energy decisions. It argues that consumers should not have to work hard to go green, and that greener default options should be built into energy systems so that sustainable choices become the easy, automatic option for households and businesses.
- 6DHS expands partnerships to reduce suicide deaths across the stateβDHS announces new and expanded partnerships aimed at reducing suicide deaths across the state
The Department of Human Services has announced new and expanded partnerships aimed at reducing suicide deaths across the state. The initiative is intended to strengthen suicide prevention efforts by working with partner organisations on outreach, support services and crisis response. Details about the specific partners and funding were not included in the announcement, and public reaction has so far been limited.
- 7NASA turns to AI to mine decades of scientific dataβAt NASA, AI is helping scientists unlock discoveries hidden in decades of data
NASA scientists are using artificial intelligence to analyse decades' worth of archived mission data, uncovering discoveries that earlier tools missed. By applying modern machine learning to vast historical datasets, researchers hope to extract new insights from past observations at lower cost than new missions. The work highlights how AI is becoming a standard research tool across space science.
- 8ASU play on consumption and climate heads to UNESCO summitβASU play about consumption, climate change and progress heads to UNESCO climate summit
An Arizona State University theatre production addressing consumption, climate change and the idea of progress has been selected to be performed at a UNESCO climate summit. The play brings student and faculty artistic work to an international policy audience, using performance to spark conversation about sustainability and how societies measure advancement. Coverage from Phoenix public radio highlights the university's growing role in climate-focused arts and public engagement.

- 13Psychological Science Faces a Double Standard Outside the Global NorthβOutside of the Global North, Psychological Science Faces a Double Standard
The Association for Psychological Science argues that psychological research conducted outside the Global North is held to a different standard than work from wealthy Western institutions. The organization highlights how scientists in Africa, Latin America, Asia and other regions face greater scrutiny, fewer resources and biased assumptions about the quality of their research, calling for fairer treatment and greater recognition of scholarship from the Global South.
- 14New Study Maps Human Meningeal Development in DetailβSpatially resolved multiomics of human meningeal development reveal lineage and disease dynamics
Researchers publishing in Nature have used spatially resolved multiomics to map how the human meninges, the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, develop. The work traces cell lineages during development and links them to disease dynamics, offering a reference for understanding neurological disorders tied to meningeal biology. It is being discussed among researchers following developmental biology and single-cell genomics.
