Hannah Munguia Flores is a third-year student at MIT working on a double master's degree in aerospace engineering and technology and policy. On most days she studies the carbon cycle, and searches for sustainable crops that could be transformed into biofuels for jet engines. But on this late summer day, Munguia Flores was decorating paper fighter planes with a collage of grains and algae she designed on her computer. "My academic advisor asked me to make a drawing of the carbon cycle," says Munguia Flores, who took "Making Art for Scientists: Materials, Processes and Information Relay" over the summer with instructor and artist Timothy Lee.

QUESTION: Joining me now is the U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Thank you so much for joining me; I really appreciate it. First, what can you tell us about what's going on on the ground in Israel and in Gaza right now, and how worried are you about how rapidly and how widely this could escalate? SECRETARY BLINKEN: Well, Dana, the first thing to say is this: This is the worst attack on Israel since the Yom Kippur War in 1973 - 50 years ago. But there's a big difference. That was a conventional war between countries, between armies.

Despite Gen X's reputation as ‘slackers', many are deeply tied to work. Unlike some of their millennial counterparts, who are taking career breaks after being laid off , or even leaving full-time positions outright to rest and recharge , this generation is eager to stay in the workforce, bucking these trends. Experts say there are two main reasons many members of Gen X, roughly defined as people born roughly between 1965 and 1980, aren't ready to leave the workforce. For one, they're saddled with unique financial considerations rendering many largely unable to forego a consistent income.

LAMITAN CITY, Basilan, Philippines — Amid a landscape of trees and other greenery at Sitio Panansangan in Barangay Ubit, here is a colorful flower garden that has drawn thousands of visitors since it was opened to the public in September 2019. The flowers are actually fashioned from discarded plastic bottles, which are nonbiodegradable, hence, each is dubbed the 'forever tulip.' To Basilan locals and outsiders alike, the rise of the 13-hectare ecological park, with the 'forever tulip' garden as its main attraction, adds to the growing indications of the province's departure from a conflict-torn past toward a revving momentum for progress.

About The Study: In this cohort study of U.S. veterans, the findings suggest that those with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease who reside in historically redlined neighborhoods continue to have a higher prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors and higher cardiovascular risk. Even close to a century after this practice was discontinued, redlining appears to still be adversely associated with adverse cardiovascular events.
