- 1Cornell Course BME 4440 Connects Research with Science Policy▼Science and Policy in Action: How BME 4440 Brings Research Beyond the Classroom
A Cornell University biomedical engineering course, BME 4440, is being highlighted for pushing students to take laboratory research into the policy arena. According to the Cornell Daily Sun, the class shows how scientific findings can inform real-world policy decisions rather than staying inside the classroom. It is being read as an example of growing interest in science communication and policy training for young researchers.

AFCEA International highlights how foundational quantum research and development is expanding what is technologically possible. The piece frames basic quantum science as the groundwork for future advances in computing, communications and sensing, arguing that early-stage research now will shape military and civilian capabilities later. It reflects growing government and industry investment in quantum technologies worldwide.
- 7New fix proposed for telescopes' blind spots to map universe●Even the best telescopes have blind spots. This fix can help us build better maps of the universe https:// theconversati
A new article argues that even the most powerful telescopes have blind spots that limit our maps of the universe, and describes a proposed fix that could help astronomers chart cosmic structures more accurately. Science communicators are sharing the piece widely, with readers discussing how correcting these observational gaps could improve our understanding of the universe's large-scale structure.
- 8Lessons from Developing Internet Protocols Examined▼Leveraging Lessons Learned Developing Internet Protocols
Communications of the ACM has published a piece reflecting on lessons learned from developing internet protocols. The article draws on decades of experience designing the standards that underpin global network communication, offering insight for engineers working on next-generation protocols. It is drawing attention from the networking and computer science community.
- 9Physicist Highlights Strange Reflection Behavior in Nonlinear Amplifier●This clearly looks like everything is under control o.O So this is the reflection coefficient of a nonlinear amplifier u
A physicist has shared a plot showing the reflection coefficient of a nonlinear amplifier under a large incident signal, plotted as a function of phase, noting that the behavior looks far from tame. The reaction, even from the researcher, is that the system's response is strikingly complicated. The point being made is that beyond leading-order effects, there is still much to learn and understand about how such amplifiers behave at high signal levels.
- 10Science writers gather at Oregon State for SciWri26 conference▼Hundreds of science communicators explore OSU research during SciWri26 conference
Hundreds of science communicators are visiting Oregon State University as part of the SciWri26 conference, exploring the institution's research programs. The event gives science writers, journalists and communicators a first-hand look at work underway at OSU and offers a chance to exchange ideas about how research is reported and explained to the public.

Scrub jays do far more than recall where they buried food: they remember what they cached and when, and retrieve perishable items first before they spoil. The finding, explained in a new Beaks & Bones article, highlights the birds' remarkably sophisticated memory and is drawing attention among science communication readers.
- 12Neil deGrasse Tyson returns to Dayton for science and film talk▼Neil deGrasse Tyson returns to Dayton to talk science and movies
Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson is returning to Dayton, where he is set to speak about science and its portrayal in movies. The local newspaper reported the upcoming appearance, highlighting the popular science communicator's ongoing efforts to bring physics and astronomy topics to general audiences through public events and pop culture references.
