Network virtualization, also known as network slicing, allows multiple isolated logical networks to coexist on a single physical infrastructure without performance or security interference.

Network virtualization, also known as network slicing, allows multiple isolated logical networks to coexist on a single physical infrastructure without performance or security interference. Initially envisioned to evolve Internet architecture, it later provided bandwidth guarantees for cloud applications in data centers.

Now a pillar of 5G and beyond mobile networks, network slicing delivers differentiated services with stringent requirements. Despite significant research over two decades, its end-to-end deployment remains unrealized. This talk covered its genesis, evolution, key challenges, solutions, and the outlook for 5G+ network slicing.

The Center has sued NOAA Fisheries to enforce actual protection for 20 endangered Caribbean and Indo-Pacific coral species, including pillar and lobed star corals. While NOAA officially protected these species under the Endangered Species Act in 2014 following a Center petition, it has since refused to implement regulations to counter major threats like collection and climate change, despite a 2020 petition for such measures.

The agency also declines to monitor trade in these species, even though the U.S. is the world’s largest importer of live corals. Center lawyer Emily Jeffers emphasized, "Protection for corals shouldn’t be in name only." Learn more: biodiv.us/3DKztQo

From Oscar-nominated filmmakers Betsy West and Oren Jacoby, "This Is Not a Drill" documents three unlikely heroes confronting the powerful fossil fuel industry amidst escalating extreme weather.

From Oscar-nominated filmmakers Betsy West and Oren Jacoby, "This Is Not a Drill" documents three unlikely heroes confronting the powerful fossil fuel industry amidst escalating extreme weather. Justin J. Pearson rallies a multiracial coalition against a crude oil pipeline in Memphis, Roishetta Ozane transforms personal loss into political action in Louisiana, and Sharon Wilson, a former oil insider, exposes invisible methane leaks in Texas.

Backed by John D. Rockefeller's descendants, this coalition uncovers "Big Oil’s Big Con"—an industry promoting fossil fuels while disguising the truth. This Patagonia film showcases how courage, grit, and determination can inspire grassroots victories against powerful forces.
