Summary: For a long time, men have dominated the field of surgery, especially in cardiothoracic surgery, creating a masculine culture that hinders the recruitment and success of female surgeons. Women in surgery face numerous challenges and barriers due to gender biases and unequal opportunities, with men playing a crucial role in promoting gender equality and empowering women to succeed in the profession.

Summary: Building today is responsible for a significant portion of global resource and energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and waste generation. Therefore, we need a comprehensive and swift transformation in our understanding of construction, including the utilization and maintenance of our built environment. To provide a framework for this endeavor, a group of interdisciplinary scientists have formulated ten values for the construction of tomorrow, which will be presented in this article.

Summary: This article presents a computational protocol to estimate the pK(a)(water) of transition metal dihydrogen complexes in water medium. Experimental validation and computational results show that coordination to a transition metal ion affects the acidity of dihydrogen. Decomposition of the Delta G of the acid-base equilibrium enables a deeper analysis of dihydrogen acidities.
