Local authorities hold the power to help communities tackle air pollution, flooding, heatwaves and biodiversity loss – they just need the right support, say the authors of a new ‘How To’ guide for councils. 

As global economic relationships evolve, Achyuta Adhvaryu, professor of economics at the University of California San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy and director of the 21st Century India Center, says one partnership stands out for its potential to drive shared prosperity: the connection between the United States and India. His research highlights how the two nations’ economies have become deeply intertwined through flows of talent, technology and innovation — and why keeping those ties strong is essential for growth on both sides.

As the world’s reliance on satellites intensifies, so too does the risk of sophisticated cyberattacks targeting space-based systems and critical infrastructure, with almost 240 cyber hacks targeting the space sector in the past two years.

In 2025, more than 400 critically ill infants were transported to UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals. UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals now have dedicated neonatal transport vehicles and teams in Oakland and San Francisco, reaching patients across the San Francisco Bay Area, the East Bay, Central Valley, and broader Northern California region. UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland serves the most patients for a freestanding pediatric trauma center in Northern California.  

When delivering radiation therapy to a tumor, clinicians want to be as precise as possible, using imaging, such as CT scans, to ensure the radiation targets the right area. However, when a tumor is located within the chest cavity or within or near the lungs, it is difficult to know that the tumor is in the same place when it is treated as when it was imaged. Each breath can cause the tumor to shift in position, making it difficult for clinicians to accurately target cancer cells without harming nearby tissue. Researchers are working to combat this complex issue through their research project, Development and Translation of Data-Driven Four-Dimensional Radiotherapy.
