Data science is the interdisciplinary field that uses statistical methods, algorithms, computational systems, and domain expertise to extract knowledge, patterns, and actionable insight from data — structured and unstructured, at any scale. It sits at the intersection of statistics, computer science, and a specific application domain: a data scientist working on genomics, financial markets, or public-health surveillance draws on much of the same core statistical-learning and computational toolkit, applied to very different data and questions. That three-way blend — computational and programming skill, mathematical and statistical knowledge, and substantive domain expertise, sometimes illustrated as three overlapping circles — is what most working definitions of the field converge on, and it is also part of why data science organizes and funds itself differently than a traditional single-department discipline. Data science asks a recurring set of questions regardless of the domain it is applied to: What does this data actually contain, and how was it collected and structured? What patterns or relationships in it are real signal rather than noise?

Scientists have found a way to grow Spirulina that produces biologically active vitamin B12 at levels comparable to beef, potentially overcoming one of the biggest nutritional limitations of this widely promoted algae. The research, published in the scientific journal Discover Food, was led by Dr. Asaf Tzachor, Founder and Academic Director of the Aviram Sustainability and Climate Program at Reichman University, together with researchers from Iceland, Denmark and Austria. Using advanced biotechnology and carefully controlled light conditions, the team produced carbon-neutral, nutrient-rich Spirulina biomass containing active vitamin B12. According to the researchers, this is the first time biologically active vitamin B12 has been reported in Spirulina.

We all have an internal clock. It's why we get sleepy at night and sometimes wake up without an alarm. But that's not the only biological clock ticking in our bodies. Every tissue and organ has a circadian rhythm, according to Kevin Koronowski, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Structural Biology in the Long School of Medicine at The University of Texas at San Antonio and researcher with the Sam and Ann Barshop Institute for Longevity and Aging Studies. "Sleep is the most obvious circadian rhythm that we all know, but our internal clock will coordinate essentially all of our bodily functions throughout day and night," Koronowski said. "Not just the sleep-wake cycle, but our immune response, our metabolism, our cardiovascular function, like blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature. Our cognition will change throughout the day. " Kevin Koronowski, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Structural Biology at the Long School of Medicine at UT San Antonio and a researcher at the Sam and Ann Barshop Institute for Longevity and Aging Studies
