LIGO and Virgo announce 39 new gravitational wave discoveries
(Rochester Institute of Technology) The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration released a catalog of results from the first half of its third observing run (O3a), and scientists have detected more than three times as many gravitational waves than the first two runs combined. Several researchers from Rochester Institute of Technology's Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation (CCRG) were heavily involved in analyzing the gravitational waves and understanding their significance.

NLM Technical Bulletin, Sep-Oct 2020, ISO TA Element Removed from NLM Files
Prior to 2007, separate title abbreviations were assigned for GENBANK and PubMed. GENBANK carried International Organization for Standardization (ISO) title abbreviations (TAs) and PubMed had National Library of Medicine (NLM) TAs. Beginning March 1, 2007, the ISO and NLM TAs have been identical, but both were still carried in PubMed and NLM Catalog citations (see NLM Accepts ISSN Centre Title Abbreviation Assignments for more information).

COVID-19 Has Killed Nearly 200,000 Americans. How Many More Lives Will Be Lost Before the U.S. Gets It Right?
Forty-five days before the announcement of the first suspected case of what would become known as COVID-19, the Global Health Security Index was published. The project—led by the Nuclear Threat Initiative and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security—assessed 195 countries on their perceived ability to handle a major disease outbreak. The U.S. ranked first. It’s clear the report was wildly overconfident in the U.S., failing to account for social ills that had accumulated in the country over the past few years, rendering it unprepared for what was about to hit. At some point in mid-September—perha...
