A career in science and research can be challenging yet rewarding for women, says Elizabeth Enninga, Ph.D. The key to overcoming those challenges is to build a strong network of men and women you can go to with questions and concerns related to not only science, but also career progression. The National Institutes of Health recognizes that men still disproportionately receive more funding than women at all levels of awards.

In 1869, scientists observing an eclipse that traced a path from Alaska to North Carolina detected a faint green light emitting from the corona. It’s also churning with activity that can have major effects on Earth, disrupting radio communications or even knocking out the power grid. For now, despite decades of effort to create eclipses with sophisticated equipment, the moon remains the perfect occulter.

The next evolution in artificial intelligence (AI) could lie in agents that can communicate directly and teach each other to perform tasks. This AI then described what it learned to a “sister” AI, which performed the same task despite having no prior training or experience in doing it. The first AI communicated to its sister using natural language processing (NLP), the scientists said in their paper published March 18 in the journal Nature.

Cultured meat has been promoted as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional livestock farming, as it could require significantly less land, water and energy use. Cultured seafood would immediately bring relief to the ecosystem and offer products without contaminants like microplastics and mercury. There are concerns about whether the world’s population—which is projected to expand to approximately 10 billion by 2050—can adequately meet its protein solely through traditional meat production.
