Blantyre, Malawi's Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH), or Queen's, as it's known locally, is the country's largest public hospital. However, Queen's is not served by regular municipal waste collection. Rather, most hospital waste (infectious and non-infectious) is gathered by grounds staff and openly burned, in several constantly smouldering piles, sending up clouds of smoke.

: The timely identification biologically active chemicals, in disease relevant screening assays, is a major endeavor in drug discovery. The existence of frequent hitters (FHs) in non-related assays poses a formidable challenge in terms of whether to consider these molecules as chemical gold or promiscuous non-selective reactive trash (also known as PAINS - pan assay interference compounds).: In this review, the authors bring together expertize in synthetic chemistry, cheminformatics and biochemistry, three key areas for dealing with FHs.

Phishing email is one of the biggest risks to online information security due to its ability to exploit human trust and naivety. Prior research has examined whether some people are more susceptible to phishing than others and what characteristics may predict this susceptibility. Given that there are no standardised measures or methodologies to detect phishing susceptibility, results have conflicted.
