How can young researchers improve their ability to communicate science and engage with the broader public effectively? What tools and techniques can they use for science communication?
This is an exciting initiative for the forum. I have a question for Dr. Holdsworth. What advice can you give, tips, or strategies for the researchers to communicate with policymakers and to translate their research findings into policy decisions and actions?
Some possible ways to promoting more gender equality and inclusion of women and girls in the digital sector include, but not limited to providing more opportunities and support for girls and women to learn digital skills and access digital technologies, creating more role models and mentors for girls and women who aspire to pursue digital careers, and encouraging more collaboration and networking among women in digital fields.

This exciting research opportunity will be at the School of Aeronautics in Madrid (ETSIAE) — Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. https://researchersjob.com/research-positions-phds-and-postdocs/
I see that the proposal may identify more than one program of interest. The list of all the programs within the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) is available here https://www.nsf.gov/funding/programs.jsp?org=DMS
Scientists have developed a bioreactor device that uses human kidney cells cultured in the lab and mimics some of the key functions of a kidney. It's been successfully tested in pigs for a week with no obvious side effects or issues. The team, led by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), is hopeful that their device can be adapted to include a broader range of kidney cell types and be paired with another instrument to filter waste from the blood. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-39888-2
