In a hyperconnected world, framing and managing biological invasions poses complex and contentious challenges, affecting socioeconomic and environmental sectors. This complexity distinguishes the field and fuels polarized debates. In the present article, we synthesize four contentious issues in invasion science that are rarely addressed together: vocabulary usage, the potential benefits of nonnative species, perceptions shifting because of global change, and rewilding practices and biological invasions.

Single-Center Survey of Prevalence of Viruses in Pediatric Liver Explants.

Article Synopsis
- Adenovirus has been linked to acute liver failure (ALF), prompting a study on the prevalence of various viruses in children who underwent liver transplants due to liver diseases.
- The study analyzed 33 liver samples, finding HHV-6 in the majority of cases, while adenovirus was only detected in one ALF case, suggesting it may not significantly contribute to liver failure.
- The findings highlight HHV-6 as the most common virus in liver transplant cases, providing foundational data for understanding viral links to ALF.
Introduction: Twenty percent of medical school faculty are 60 years or older. These senior-career academic faculty often find a paucity of support for decision-making about late-career transitions.
Methods: To help fill this professional development gap, we developed and tested an interactive workshop to facilitate deliberation and discussion among mid- and late-career faculty in various stages of career transition planning.
