Atmospheric, diverse, celebratory and often very moving: With 1,600 guests, Jacobs University Bremen celebrated their graduates. More than 470 students counted the "Class of 2022", which is the largest graduating class in the history of the still young, English-speaking university. The festivities extended over three days. One of the highlights, in addition to the commencement gala on Thursday and the graduation party on Saturday, was the diploma ceremony followed by the traditional hat toss on Friday.

A University of Cincinnati Venture Lab-backed startup is seeking to make health care more convenient and more equitable with a telehealth platform that enables doctors to perform remote comprehensive physical examinations with patients.

Mehran Anvari is now at the forefront of a project to develop robot-assisted biopsy and diagnostics for breast cancer, using technology first pioneered on the space shuttle’s Canadarm. He is furthering his vision with Paul Chipperton, CEO and president of Insight Medbotics Inc. (IMI), through a $435,000 grant from the McMaster Seed Fund (MSF). They plan to market their product in the large US market.

A total of 74 war artefacts from the Spanish Civil War —without fuse and with ammunition inside— have been recovered in an old republican airfield in the town of les Preses (Girona, Spain) as part of an operation run by the Mossos d’Esquadra (Catalan police forces) which included the scientific advice by the Group on Geophysical Prospection of the Department of Mineralogy, Petrology and Applied Geology of the Faculty of Earth Sciences of the University of Barcelona.

The University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing (Penn Nursing) is launching a new, online Master of Science in Nutrition Science (MSNS) program. The 10-course interdisciplinary program has been in the works for the past 25 years. The MSNS will foster a formidable grounding in Nutrition Science to support innovation in nutritional management and research and enhance research skills to advance this work.

New research detected strong polarization from a young supernova remnant. It provided independent and solid evidence that the cosmic dust in the early Universe was formed in supernovae. While it's true that supernovae eject and destroy cosmic dust, infrared observations now suggest that the dust formed at an early stage of a supernova. SOFIA HAWC+ (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy High-Resolution Airborne Wideband Camera Plus) Band D observations of the young supernova remnant (SNR) Cassiopeia A (Cas A) show high polarization at the 5-30% level.
