"Two American Families: 1991-2024" is a FRONTLINE documentary chronicling the economic struggles of two Milwaukee families—one Black, one white—over 34 years. It intimately follows the Stanleys and Neumanns as they battle to avoid poverty amidst the changing American economy, from the rise of lower-wage work to current inflation. Despite continuous challenges across six presidential administrations, both families and their now-grown children demonstrate remarkable resilience.

This powerful journalism, made possible by viewers, raises unsettling questions about the American economy. Support your local PBS station: [Donate to PBS](https://www.pbs.org/donate/).

On September 12, 2024, WECAN launched its "Gendered and Racial Impacts of the Fossil Fuel Industry in North America" report. This fourth edition details how fossil fuel extraction disproportionately harms women, particularly in Black, Brown, Indigenous, and low-income communities, leading to increased health risks, violence, and human rights violations. It also identifies complicit financial institutions and recommends steps for accountability and a just transition.

The virtual launch featured frontline women leaders, health experts, and advocates. Speakers like Roishetta Sibley Ozane, Rene Ann Goodrich, Sharon Lavigne, and Casey Camp Horinek demanded that financial institutions take action to protect communities, ecosystems, and the climate.

Challenging the notion that AI must be massive, this webinar introduces the Expressive Neural Network (ENN). Unlike resource-intensive Large Language Models (LLMs), ENNs rethink activation

Challenging the notion that AI must be massive, this webinar introduces the Expressive Neural Network (ENN). Unlike resource-intensive Large Language Models (LLMs), ENNs rethink activation functions using the Discrete Cosine Transform. This innovative architecture enhances flexibility, speeds convergence, and creates significantly smaller models, reducing energy and computational costs.

ENNs bridge traditional signal processing with modern AI, revolutionizing edge computing by enabling efficient AI in resource-constrained environments. This approach emphasizes expressiveness over size, positioning ENNs as a precision tool for future neural networks. Organized by the free ITU Journal on Future and Evolving Technologies (ITU-J FET), discover more about the journal and explore the full webinar series programme.

This interview from @The-Well, supported by @TempletonFoundation, features astrobiologist Betül Kaçar. She redefines evolution, asserting that life thrives through cooperation, not just competition. Kaçar illustrates this with Black Sea microbes sharing energy, emphasizing that true evolution is about connection and learning to live together, not merely individual strength.

Dr. Kaçar, a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor and NASA-funded researcher, explores early life's evolution.

Recreational fisheries are crucial to Mediterranean and Black Sea coastal economies and culture, yet they remain poorly documented. Limited and inconsistent data collection across countries hinders effective policymaking.

To address these significant knowledge gaps, the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) launched a dedicated research programme in 2024. This initiative, rolled out in 13 countries, applies standardized data collection regionally, making fisher collaboration essential. The ultimate goal is to strengthen sustainable fisheries management. For more information, visit the GFCM website: https://www.fao.org/gfcm/en/

Black soldier flies (BSF) provide a practical bioeconomy solution, converting food waste into high-protein livestock feed and organic frass fertilizer. This closes nutrient loops, reduces resource pressure, and minimizes urban waste, making BSF a powerful ally for zero-waste initiatives.

The BioDAF II project, "Circular bioeconomy in Abidjan: From food waste to fork," scales this approach. It transforms urban food waste into agricultural inputs, supports livelihoods, and improves waste management. Learn more about FAO's sustainable bioeconomy efforts here.
