NATO TAKES ACTION: The United States and other North Atlantic Treaty Organization nations endorsed a new cyber defense policy Monday as part of the NATO summit in Brussels.
“Reaffirming NATO’s defensive mandate, the Alliance is determined to employ the full range of capabilities at all times to actively deter, defend against, and counter the full spectrum of cyber threats, including those conducted as part of hybrid campaigns, in accordance with international law,” the Brussels Summit Communique released Monday by NATO read.

In early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic sent people around the world scrambling, not just for medical supplies such as masks and ventilators, but also for knowledge about the mysterious new virus that was spreading at an alarming rate. While scientists rushed to study the novel pathogen, science journalists were communicating as many new insights as possible to the public in real-time. AAAS Member Maddie Bender, a budding science journalist with a passion for infectious disease, found herself in the thick of it.
As COVID-19 spread, Bender took on more and more assignments. She was also more than prepared for the prospect of reporting on a pandemic. She has a passion for understanding the microscopic worlds of viruses and bacteria. In November 2019, just months before COVID-19 became a global issue, Bender was studying microbial evolution as part of her undergraduate degree at Yale University, and was in the midst of

Humans have been harnessing microbial activity since our earliest efforts to turn barley into beer or grapes into wine.
But beyond the ecological theories at the heart of fermentation, engineering whole bacterial communities has thwarted scientists because of the unpredictability of nature itself - species move in, species move out: change is constant.
In findings published today in Nature Ecology & Evolution, a team of researchers at Yale’s West Campus have turned the tables on previous work to manipulate communities of microorganisms, also known as microbiomes, to perform specific functions by breeding them.
The question of whether groups of organisms respond to evolution as a collective – through so called multi-level selection - has been studied for decades, but with mixed results.
