Humpback whales engage in "kelping," a global phenomenon where they roll in seaweed. This behavior is thought to be both play and a form of skincare, potentially removing parasites and bacteria to improve health. A recent study, partly based on social media observations, documented kelping across populations from the North Atlantic to Australia. This fascinating behavior was featured in Endangered Earth Online (Nov. 16, 2032).

As 5G rolls out, attention shifts to 6G, the next generation of wireless technology. This international race aims for significantly higher data rates, improved reliability, and ubiquitous coverage, including underserved areas. Achieving this requires innovations in new architectures like edge computing, reduced latency, breakthrough energy efficiency, and machine learning.

A webinar, organized by the ITU Journal on Future and Evolving Technologies (ITU J-FET), will describe this wireless future. Speaker Andrea J. Goldsmith (Princeton University) will discuss the necessary innovations and breakthroughs. The ITU J-FET is a free international journal covering communications and networking.

Discover Arizona's surprising connection to the oceans in a talk by Dr. Ed Boyer, Chairman of Environmental Studies at Prescott College. He will link Prescott's high desert to the Gulf of California, sharing captivating stories from years of field research and teaching. Dr. Boyer will explore the Gulf's unique bioregion, drawing parallels with the Red Sea to show how understanding one ocean provides global insights.

With over 40 years leading expeditions, Dr. Boyer will also incorporate observations from his Semester at Sea experience, offering a natural history perspective on the ocean's "moods" and coastal environments. Join us to uncover how this distant body of water resonates with our local community.
