Webinar for writing high-impact publications: Getting published in top journals
The research community's ability to function depends on its ability to communicate science. However, adhering to publication standards is a significant challenge that is felt most keenly by students, early-career researchers, academics for whom English is a second language, and researchers from developing nations. This webinar aims to offer concise, straightforward instructions for each step of manuscript preparation.

There has been a scientific breakthrough in this algorithm
Fast Algorithm for Shortest Paths on Negative Graphs
That algorithm, developed by Probst Gutenberg and five other researchers, addressed a more general problem called minimum-cost flow, in which the goal is to optimize transport through many paths in parallel, and each edge has a maximum capacity an associated cost. Shortest-paths problems are a special case of minimum-cost flow. The new minimum-cost-flow algorithm could also solve the negative-weight shortest-paths problem in near-linear time, albeit with a radically different approach.
