Bees are collapsing in the U.S.
A key to their secrets might vanish.
The Bee Lab’s potential closure comes at a tough time for bees.

Droege studies native bees,
the types of pollinators that only live in the wild,
as opposed to honeybees,
which are farmed and bred for profit.
Entomologists stress that honeybees and native bees are different —
sort of like farmed chickens and wild birds.
But they can be exposed to the same threats,

Bees are collapsing in the U.S. A key to their secrets might vanish.
The top federal lab on native bees is set to close under President Trump’s budget.

Stop battling confusing Google Sheets charts when you've got different types of data! 🙅‍♀️ There's a much better way to show everything clearly.
My new video dives deep into Combo Charts, making even wildly different scales (like baby names & wind energy! 🌬️👶 – yes, really!) look perfectly clear with dual axes. It’s all about making your data understandable at a glance.

Not quite a piece of CHERI-cake: Are new digital security by design architectures usable?
A digital security-by-design computer architecture, like CHERI, lets you program without fear of buffer overflows or other memory safety errors, but CHERI also rewrites some of the assumptions about how C works and how fundamental types (such as pointers) are implemented in hardware. We conducted a usability study to examine how developers react to the changes required by CHERI when porting software to run on it. We find that developers struggle with CHERI's display of warnings and errors and a…

Learning Best Paths in Quantum Networks
Quantum networks (QNs) transmit delicate quantum information across noisy quantum channels. Crucial applications, like quantum key distribution (QKD) and distributed quantum computation (DQC), rely on efficient quantum information transmission. Learning the best path between a pair of end nodes in a QN is key to enhancing such applications. This paper addresses learning the best path in a QN in the online learning setting. We explore two types of feedback: "link-level" and "path-level". Link-le…
