Ghana agricultural economist Justina Onumah participated in a leadership institute at the University of Delaware as part of the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders. In her time at the UD, Onsumah struck up a friendship with Oyenike Olabisi, associate professor of biological sciences and academic director of UD’s Mandela program. The two women soon clicked over their shared passion for equitable opportunities in the sciences.

A team led by Penn State researchers reviewed a variety of social science literature and found that studies often defined AI differently. By drawing from these areas and computer science, the researchers created a single definition and framework that they said they hope will be compatible across disciplines. For us who are thinking about how AI is going to be integrated in daily life, AI is picking up. It has a human basis for all citizens.

The double star Albireo in Cygnus shows off beautiful contrasting colors of orange and blue, which also reveal the stars’ differing temperatures. The color of stars, or anything that gets really hot, is connected to its temperature. This is because hot objects emit light, which is called thermal radiation. As an object gets hotter, it takes more energy to emit light at higher frequencies.

What You Need To Know iFly indoor skydiving is running a STEM program for kids to learn the science behind getting someone in the air through a wind tunnel Educators show kids how the wind is forced around the building and under it to create forces fast enough to push someone up. Kids calculate how much wind it will take to fly someone based on height and weight and then put their predictions to the test.
