Southern Resident Orcas, iconic to the Pacific Northwest and frequenting Washington's Salish Sea, face a critical struggle for survival.

This endangered population made national headlines this summer after a newborn calf died, with its mother carrying the body for 17 days in apparent grief. A month later, a young female disappeared and is now presumed dead, further reducing the population to a mere 74 whales.

Fossil fuels have powered economic growth and improved quality of life for over two centuries, valued for their energy storage and on-demand use. The scientific community's current challenge is to achieve similar flexibility from renewable energy sources.

Ravi Prasher and his team are pioneering efforts to address this by using computing power to discover new materials. They synthesize these materials and create devices for real-world testing, aiming to ensure a future of steady, flexible, and economical clean energy. Visit UCTV for more.

In *Fascism: A Warning*, former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright draws on her experiences and diplomatic career to provide a personal examination of Fascism's 20th-century legacy and its impact today. She defines a Fascist as one who claims to speak for a nation, disregards others' rights, and uses violence to achieve goals.

Albright argues that Fascism presents a more virulent threat now than since World War II, with global democratic momentum reversing. Economic, technological, and cultural factors empower political extremes, and contemporary leaders like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un employ tactics reminiscent of 1920s and 30s Fascists. This timely book offers crucial lessons to prevent repeating past errors.
