To facilitate and enhance communication, JOSHA presents a curated selection of research summaries spanning critical scientific, technological, and societal developments. This edition covers the environmental and sovereignty risks posed by a new U.S. military base in the Galápagos Islands, the rise of tiny machine learning (tinyML) as a low-cost AI solution in the Global South, and Microsoft’s claim of creating a new state of matter to advance quantum computing. Also featured is an exploration of how stand-up comedy helped a researcher overcome stage fright and improve scientific communication. Finally, an editorial examines the impact of President Trump’s second-term policies on science, including deep funding cuts, restrictions on research, and the rollback of global collaborations. Explore the full articles for a deeper understanding of these important topics.
