Misty Heggeness, an economics and population data expert at the University of Kansas, has written "Swiftynomics: How Women Mastermind and Redefine Our Economy." The book examines the entertainment behemoth that is Taylor Swift and how her massive success illustrates the many ways that women survive and thrive in the American workforce, whether it is through billion-dollar headlining tours or work that is unpaid and often overlooked. The book aims to illuminate the contributions of women, share stories of succes and bring more women to the field, with rigid research, personal anecdotes, humor and examples of women doing great work every day.

Mathematician Ivan Remizov from HSE University–Nizhny Novgorod and the Institute for Information Transmission Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences has made a conceptual breakthrough in the theory of differential equations. He has derived a universal formula for solving problems that had been considered analytically unsolvable for more than 190 years. This result fundamentally reshapes one of the oldest areas of mathematics and has important implications for fundamental physics and economics. The paper has been published in Vladikavkaz Mathematical Journal.

The University of Virginia has launched the Collaboratory on Data, AI, and Health, a new cross-Grounds initiative that brings together expertise from across the University to advance health and health care through data and artificial intelligence. The Collaboratory is jointly supported by the School of Data Science, UVA Health, the School of Medicine, the Darden School of Business, the School of Education and Human Development, and the School of Engineering and Applied Science.

University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies has published a new white paper, “Rebuilding the Social Contract,” by TaMika Fuller, DBA, an affiliate of the Center for Educational and Instructional Technology Research (CEITR), and Victoria Lender, DBA, which examines how burnout, limited career development, and perceptions of low autonomy can erode trust at work—and what leaders can do to rebuild confidence, commitment and retention in an era shaped by accelerating technology and artificial intelligence.
