United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) data tells us that the world is falling far behind in achieving quality education for all. Without additional measures put into place, by 2030, 300 million students will lack basic numeracy/literacy skills, and only 1 in 6 countries will achieve the universal secondary school completion target. To add to this, there is a massive global teacher shortage. We invited five of the world's leading authorities on teaching and K-12 education to share their insights on how we can address this crisis head-on.

Everything from the smartphone in your pocket to satellites is producing staggering amounts of geographical data daily. Geoinformatics, which solves real-world problems using geospatial information and technologies to manage, analyze, and visualize geospatial data, is a very fast-growing area of research that’s outpacing growth across many other research areas, according to data platform Dimensions. Why is this important? We spoke to three geoinformatics experts, Dr. Songnian Li, Dr. Samantha Lavender, and Dr. Esra Ozdenerol, to highlight some of the many exciting and innovative ways researchers use this data to solve pressing issues, from environmental change to inequality. http://spr.ly/6041QbhWR #Geoinformatics

Generic drugs are always cheaper, right? Not necessarily. According to a new research paper, some medicines may cost less upfront but require increased monitoring, meaning more clinic visits, and additional strain on services. When health care providers are overstretched, patients may not be seen quickly enough. This can have serious health consequences, placing extra burden on the system in the long run.

The power of AI in journalism is far-reaching – it can potentially influence the news output, sway public opinion, or change mindsets. It is therefore imperative to consider the context within which it is produced and used. In her new paper “Why Context Matters in Code Studies: Exploring Ways to Globalize/ Diversify Understandings of Algorithmic and AI Use in Journalism,” Dr. Shangyuan Wu argues that we need to pay attention to contextual elements influencing algorithmic and AI use across regions, and not rely wholly on studies from the “contemporary newsroom” that is typically based in North America and Western Europe.
