Johns Hopkins University lays off more than 2,000 workers across the globe after losing $800 million in federal grants.

Among the programs targeted were a $50 million project to treat HIV while experimenting with machine learning in India and a $200 million grant to treat one of the world’s most deadly diseases in thousands of children.

"This is a difficult day for our entire community," the university says.

12 Hopkins staff on his team in Baltimore lost their jobs Thursday , many of whom worked as administrators, technicians and pharmacists.

SMART4TB was a $200 million investment trying to combat the spread of deadly tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis, a preventable and curable disease, killed 1.25 million people in 2023 , according to WHO .

One in five U.K. workers ( 6.64 million ) mainly work from home.

85% of disabled workers surveyed feel that access to remote and hybrid working is very important or essential.

One in three disabled workers ( 30% ) who are already working in a hybrid way want to spend more of their work time working at home.

The sdtudy calls on the government to increase the visibility of remote and hybrid working opportunities.

Strengthen disabled workers' ability to access remote work as a reasonable adjustment.

IBM 's Christina Shim discussed the importance of communicating a sustainable project's business value.

"As long as the outcomes are the same, you just need to make sure that you're communicating in an appropriate way with the right stakeholder," she said.

A report from the Global Infrastructure Hub put the average project preparation time at 6 years but said it can take 14 years if the project is not planned properly.

The Loess plateau is an area spanning more than 245,000 sq miles across three provinces and parts of four others.

By 2016 , China had converted more than 11,500 sq miles of rain-fed cropland to forest or grassland a 25% increase in vegetative cover in a decade .

The climate around the Loess plateau is changing, which means what existed, or even thrived, several decades ago can’t necessarily be put back, says Bridgewater .

Bridgewater: “Given the speed of climate change, we need to be thinking about what we want. What we want out of our ecosystems are actually services.”.

The NISAR satellite will provide a powerful data stream that could help farmers in the U.S. and around the world.

The satellite will have the resolution to see small plots of farmland, but a potentially more meaningful benefit will come from its broad, frequent coverage of agricultural regions.

The high-resolution data on which crops are present and how well they are growing could feed into agricultural productivity forecasts.

"Resource managers thinking about food security and where resources need to go are going to be able to use this sort of data to have a holistic view of their whole region," said Rowena Lohman , an Earth sciences researcher at Cornell University in Ithaca , New York , and soil moisture lead on the NISAR science team.

Scientists at UC Santa Cruz developed new aquaculture feed formulations for farmed rainbow trout.

They replaced traditional fishmeal ingredients with marine microalgae, a marine microalgal species called "Nannochloropsis sp. QH25" Researchers tested their feeds and found that they could fully replace fishmeal with the microalgai while maintaining the same levels of fish growth, nutritional value for humans.

University of California - Santa Cruz researchers have found a new fish-free feed for trout.

The team added taurine and lecithin to their feed as flavor and smell enhancers, and they used new processing techniques.

They hope this could improve the nutritional value of the resulting fish, lower the carbon footprint of their feeds.

On the surface, February 's inflation data released this week brought some encouraging news.

But underneath, there were signs likely to keep the Federal Reserve on hold.

While the consumer and producer price indexes both were lower than anticipated, that won't necessarily be reflected in the main measure the Fed uses to gauge inflation.

"In short, progress on inflation has started off 2025 on the wrong foot," Bank of America economist Stephen Juneau said.

Teens from households that make over $ 75,000 annually are the most likely to say they plan to go to a four-year college after high school.

About one -in-five teens ( 18% ) are unsure of their plans.

Boys are more likely to enroll in a technical or vocational school, work full time or join the military.

Black and Hispanic teens more likely than White teens to say having a lot of money is important.

Collard greens are a quintessential part of African American , Southern and “soul” foods in the U.S. The leafy vegetable is important in some regions of Africa , such as Kenya , where they are one of the most commonly consumed vegetables.

Researchers identify mechanisms that regulate an underlying process corn rootworms use called diapause.

Diapause is a phenomenon similar to hibernation, and in this species, it involves eggs that remain dormant in the soil for approximately nine months .

Researchers pinpointing the genetic mechanisms that help rootworm eggs "pause" underground during the winter .
