Australia to create a national park for 12,000 koalas
Few animals tug at Australian hearts like the koala. Yet the marsupial, once common along the eastern seaboard, was declared endangered in New South Wales (NSW) in 2022. Habitat loss, climate stress, and disease have driven populations down so far that a parliamentary inquiry warned they could vanish from the state before 2050. The proposed […]

In 2022, Oregonians narrowly passed Measure 111,
⭐️amending their constitution and guaranteeing affordable health care as a fundamental right to every resident of the state.
Through years of organizing, coalition building and planning,
💥Oregon may enact its Universal Health Plan as early as fall 2027. 
In the face of extreme Medicaid cuts from the Trump administration
-- which will leave roughly 16 million people without health coverage by 2034
-- a state-l…

Could Oregon chart the course for universal health care in the US?
Oregon is on the verge of enacting a single-payer health care plan, but continued organizing is needed to secure this historic victory.

Grindr built a wildly successful dating app. Will its push into AI finally get Wall Street's attention?
George Arison, who joined Grindr in 2022, says the company is leaning hard into AI and building “a half dozen or so” other businesses that are tangential to Grindr.

"We want to cut municipality ICT spending on software in half before the start of 2027. Imagine reducing the cost from 36 euros per resident per year in 2022 to just 18.50 euros in 2027. We are committed to achieving this by replacing lock-in software and non-user-friendly applications with transparent, accessible, and innovative solutions. Fair contracting is at the heart of our strategy."

Quantum criticality in cuprate superconductors revealed by optical conductivity measurement
The ubiquitous temperature ($T$)-linear behaviour of the transport scattering rate in the normal state of strongly correlated electron systems is called strange metallicity \cite{zaanen:2004,phillips:2022,hartnoll:2022,chowdhury:2022,yuan:2022}. Although strange metallicity is crucial to understanding superconductivity in correlated electron systems, its origin remains elusive to date \cite{hussey:2023}. Here, we present the doping-, temperature-, and frequency ($ω$)-dependent transport proper…

Physical Thickness Characterization of the FRIB Production Targets
The FRIB heavy-ion accelerator, commissioned in 2022, is a leading facility for producing rare isotope beams (RIBs) and exploring nuclei beyond the limits of stability. These RIBs are produced via reactions between stable primary beams and a graphite target. Approximately 20-40 \% of the primary beam power is deposited in the target, requiring efficient thermal dissipation. Currently, FRIB operates with a primary beam power of up to 20 kW. To enhance thermal dissipation efficiency, …

Machines in the Crowd? Measuring the Footprint of Machine-Generated Text on Reddit
Generative Artificial Intelligence is reshaping online communication by enabling large-scale production of Machine-Generated Text (MGT) at low cost. While its presence is rapidly growing across the Web, little is known about how MGT integrates into social media environments. In this paper, we present the first large-scale characterization of MGT on Reddit. Using a state-of-the-art statistical method for detection of MGT, we analyze over two years of activity (2022-2024) across 51 subreddits rep…

Leveraging Minute-by-Minute Soccer Match Event Data to Adjust Team's Offensive Production for Game Context

Leveraging Minute-by-Minute Soccer Match Event Data to Adjust Team's Offensive Production for Game Context
In soccer, game context can result in skewing offensive statistics in ways that might misrepresent how well a team has played. For instance, in England's 1-2 loss to France in the 2022 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal, England attempted considerably more shots (16 to France's 8) and more corners (5 to 2), potentially suggesting they played better despite the loss. However, these statistics were largely accumulated when France was ahead and more willing to concede offensive initiative to England. To …
