Stunning simulation of stars being born is most realistic ever
A team including Northwestern University astrophysicists has developed the most realistic, highest-resolution 3D simulation of star formation to date. The result is a visually stunning, mathematically-driven marvel that allows viewers to float around a colorful gas cloud in 3D space while watching twinkling stars emerge.
Called STARFORGE (Star Formation in Gaseous Environments), the computational framework is the first to simulate an entire gas cloud 100 times more massive than previously possible and full of vibrant colors where stars are born.
It also is the first simulation to simultaneously model star formation, evolution and dynamics while accounting for stellar feedback, including jets, radiation, wind and nearby supernovae activity. While other simulations have incorporated individual types of stellar feedback, STARFORGE puts them altogether to simulate how these various processes interact to affect star f
Medical students from 50 schools across the U.S. participated in a Northwestern University psychology study.
Self-affirmation, the practice of reflecting upon one’s most important values, can aid Black medical students in reaching their residency goals. But conversely, it can lead to the perception that they are less qualified for a prestigious residency than their peers.
The pandemic has underscored the racial disparities in the quality of healthcare, a field in which Black Americans are vastly underrepresented as medical physicians.
New Northwestern University research aims to address the “leaky pipeline” preventing Black medical students from completing medical school to pursuing residencies in high-need and underrepresented areas.

EVANSTON, Ill. - Self-affirmation, the practice of reflecting upon one s most important values, can aid Black medical students in reaching their residency goals. But conversely, it can lead to the perception that they are less qualified for a prestigious residency than their peers.
The pandemic has underscored the racial disparities in the quality of healthcare, a field in which Black Americans are vastly underrepresented as medical physicians.
New Northwestern University research aims to address the leaky pipeline preventing Black medical students from completing medical school to pursuing residencies in high-need and underrepresented areas.
Sylvia Perry, assistant professor of psychology in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences at Northwestern, is the lead author of the study, which found that Black medical students reported higher levels of fatigue, a lower sense of belonging, and a greater likelihood of changing their medical residency plans than their white

In this artistic illustration, a user with an NTRAIN implant and its accompanying external hub works in the field. The user inputs a desired time shift (due to shift work or travel across time zones). Based on cues from the bodys physiology, the external hub detects the users circadian rhythm, and triggers the implant to produce precisely-dosed peptide therapies.
Abstract:
Device will harness the same peptides the body makes to regulate sleep cycles
