This technical webinar aimed to improve the quality of ICT Price Baskets (IPB) data collected by ITU member states. It provided compilers of ICT service price statistics with detailed methodological explanations and practical exercises using sample datasets.

The activity was part of the EU-funded ITU project, "Promoting and Measuring Universal and Meaningful Connectivity." Implemented by the ICT Data and Analytics Division (IDA), the project strengthens the statistical capacities of national statistical offices and regulatory authorities, especially in developing countries, through a series of webinars and workshops.

Tim Wu, the scholar who coined "net neutrality," examines how big tech platforms have reshaped our economy. In his latest book, *The Age of Extraction*, Wu argues that the internet, once seen as a source of widespread wealth and democracy, has instead created new economic classes and fostered autocracy. He proposes solutions to harness technology for the greater good and build a more balanced economy.

Join Tim Wu, author of *The Age of Extraction*, and journalist Laura Sydell on November 10, 2025, to discuss reclaiming economic control. This program is supported by the Ken & Jaclyn Broad Family Fund and partnered with the Center for Humane Technology.

Scientists recently discovered bats, like Tuvan throat singers and death-metal vocalists, produce sound using ventricular folds instead of vocal cords. A Danish biologist found bats use these for low-frequency calls. With their ability to also make extremely high-pitched calls, bats possess an unparalleled vocal range. The Center for Biological Diversity argues this makes them more akin to grindcore vocalists, who utilize both very low and very high frequencies.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a 501c3 nonprofit, works to secure a future for all species through science, law, and creative media. Check out our video to hear biodiversity-loving grindcore artists and see brutally cute bats. Learn more at biologicaldiversity.org or email us at center@biologicaldiversity.org.

Nature offers elegant solutions to countless design challenges, from advanced adhesives and biodegradable packaging to incredibly strong materials and the mechanics of flight. The study and application of these natural innovations is known as biomimicry.

Join us to hear from two experts in this field. Richard MacCowan of Biomimicry UK will discuss its role in adopting Industry 4.0 technology, while Veronika Kapsali from University of Arts London will share insights on biomimicry in her textiles work.

Heavy rainfall over the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, and the eastern Pacific Ocean predicts 100°F (38°C) temperatures in California's Central Valley within 4 to 16 days. This finding comes from

Heavy rainfall over the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, and the eastern Pacific Ocean predicts 100°F (38°C) temperatures in California's Central Valley within 4 to 16 days. This finding comes from a collaborative research team at UC Davis and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Climate Center in Busan, South Korea.

Researchers, including UC Davis professor Richard Grotjahn, linked these heat waves to the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), a large, traveling atmospheric circulation pattern. For more information, visit: UCTV.
