Scientists from diverse backgrounds are underrepresented (UR) in academia. This lack of diversity impedes scientific discovery and innovation. UR scientists tend to conduct research on issues relevant to UR populations, including chronic disease prevention and management, and health disparities.

- The study examines how the ratios of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus (C:N:P) in ocean particulate matter differ from the standard Redfield Ratio, impacting global carbon storage as these particles sink into the deep ocean.
- Researchers found distinct latitudinal patterns in C:N:P ratios along a transect in the North Pacific, linking these patterns to the composition of macromolecules like proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids in oceanic particles.
- The findings suggest that changes in phytoplankton community structure and nutrient availability are key factors driving variations in these ratios, indicating that physiological acclimation to nutrient supply is likely responsible for the observed latitudinal trends.
Eyes within the marine gastropod superfamily Stromboidea range widely in size, from 0.2 to 2.3 mm - the largest eyes known in any gastropod.

Methods: The Australian Group on Antimicrobial Resistance (AGAR) surveillance program captures clinical and microbiological data of isolates detected in blood cultures across Australia.
Background: Gram-negative bloodstream infections are associated with significant morbidity and mortality in children. Increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is reported globally, yet efforts to track pediatric AMR at a national level over time are lacking.
