New algorithm sets parameters for waves of Covid-19
A method for defining different waves of Covid-19 to better understand the progression of the virus across the pandemic, has been devised by a team of scientists. The researchers from Cardiff University and the University of Oxford developed an algorithm which identifies substantial, significant, and sustained periods of increase, described as "observed waves", when applied to daily cases and fatalities of Covid-19.

Organisations must go beyond medical views on menopause to support women’s professional aspirations
Western organisations can learn a lot from other cultures around supporting women experiencing menopause in the workplace. Organisations must enable mid-life women to thrive in the workplace by taking inspiration from societies such as China and Japan to encourage positive conversations around the impact of menopause, a new study reveals.

AI could help detect unregulated sources of air pollution in South Asia, new project shows
A collaboration between the University of Oxford and Lahore University of Management Sciences has combined the power of artificial intelligence with remote satellite imagery to help tackle the problem of unregulated brick kilns across South Asia. These kilns are a major source of air pollution, a key contributor to climate change, and notorious for people trafficking and modern-day slavery.

Major funding boost for cutting-edge leukaemia research
Scientists from across the UK are hoping to learn how they can better predict leukaemia (blood cancer) occurrence, as well as develop improved drug screening pathways to treat the disease, through a major funding boost worth £12million. In what represents a major investment into leukaemia research in the UK, two new projects - led by the University of Glasgow and funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) - will engineer novel science and research tools to focus on understanding and predicting leukaemia and developing drugs for improved healthcare.

Speaking up for the annoying fruit fly
Andreas Prokop , University of Manchester Fruit flies can be truly annoying when they are buzzing around your living room or landing in your wine. But we have much to thank these tiny nuisances for - they revolutionised biological and medical science. Flies and mosquitoes both belong to Diptera , the group of insects that have only two wings (from the Greek meaning two and pteron meaning wing).

Poor self-esteem and body image increase weight and poor mental health in teens
Promoting positive body image and self-esteem among children could help reduce poor mental health associated with being higher weight in adolescence. These are the findings of a study of more than 12,000 children in the UK in which researchers from Imperial College London explored the impacts of psychological and social factors on the relationship between mental health and body mass index (BMI) throughout adolescence.
