This article highlights the efforts and successes of the Chemistry Women Mentorship Network (ChemWMN) in the US, a structured mentorship network open to all woman-identifying individuals in chemistry interested in advancing in the academic landscape.

The pandemic of COVID-19 has imposed tremendous pressure on public health systems and social economic ecosystems over the past years. To alleviate its social impact, it is important to proactively track the prevalence of COVID-19 within communities. The traditional way to estimate the disease prevalence is to estimate from reported clinical test data or surveys. However, the coverage of clinical tests is often limited and the tests can be labor-intensive, requires reliable and timely results, and consistent diagnostic and reporting criteria.

This study investigates variations in the ice-flow speed of the Shirase Glacier ice tongue in East Antarctica from July 2018 to December 2021 using Sentinel-1 radar imagery. It identifies significant slowdown events linked to icebergs grounding on the seafloor, revealing that the ice tongue provides limited support to the grounding line, which has broader implications for understanding glacier dynamics and the potential consequences of ice loss in the context of climate change.

The article provides a comprehensive overview of the Keystone Symposia conference on Myeloid Cell Diversity, highlighting key presentations on topics such as phagocytosis of dead cells, neutrophil behavior, myeloid cell states, and the impact of lifestyle factors on myeloid cells in disease states. It also discusses the role of myeloid cells in Alzheimer's disease, specifically how their dissociation may mediate vascular dysfunction.
