American Phytopathological SocietyOne life lost to sepsis every three seconds | World Sepsis Day
BGI GenomicsEvery three seconds, one life is lost to sepsis, according to the Global Sepsis Alliance. It is a life-threatening, dysregulated immune response to infection and remains a leading cause of death worldwide. Most of these deaths are preventable with timely intervention.
Conventional culturing diagnostic methods are often slow and imprecise. The advancement of metagenomic and targeted next-generation sequencing (mNGS and tNGS) now provides rapid precision diagnostics, enabling earlier treatment.

DOE/Oak Ridge National LaboratoryThe last telemetry of FLTSATCOM
Naval Postgraduate SchoolFor more than 30 years, the Naval Postgraduate School’s (NPS) Fleet Satellite Communications System (FLTSATCOM) lab has advanced student knowledge in satellite design, engineering and operations. Once a vanguard of the institution’s spacecraft design and engineering education and research programs, the ground test - or qualification - model identical to FLTSATCOM satellites launched decades ago to support advanced U.S. Navy ultrahigh frequency (UHF) communications, executed its final telemetry student exercise, Aug. 25. Long overdue renovations to the school’s Halligan Hall will soon displace the satellite from its NPS home.

Lehigh UniversityUT San Antonio researchers develop non-opioid alternatives for pain relief
University of Texas at San AntonioStanton McHardy, director of the Center for Innovative Drug Discovery (CIDD) and professor of chemistry, is contributing to three groundbreaking research programs aimed at developing safe, non-opioid medications for managing pain.
For many in Texas, opioids are a common prescription for pain relief, but these powerful drugs carry significant risks, including addiction and overdose. According to the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), Texas’s drug poisoning deaths, which are largely attributed to opioid overdoses, have increased by more than 75% in the past five years.
