The Great Depression of the 1930s paralysed the world’s economies for many years and had vast societal consequences. However, we have managed subsequent financial crises better thanks to research insights from this year’s laureates. They have demonstrated the importance of preventing widespread bank collapses.
When Hilda Bastian lost her 38-year-old son, Adam, she spent the weeks that followed searching for solace on the Internet. But Bastian, who studies medical evidence, found that the literature was filled with conflicting theories. She has spent the past few months looking for scientific studies that provide better information on the process of grieving, and started a blog to collect the evidence. Her analysis now includes 103 studies from data on 38,000 people. The methods vary, but the findings suggest that grief starts to ease a few weeks after someone experiences a death and continues to abate from there. “When Adam died, I needed hope that a vibrant life was within my reach. The science showed me that it might be closer than I could imagine,” says Bastian.
On Monday 17 October, the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, join us for the global launch of the 2022 Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) -Unpacking deprivation bundles to reduce multidimensional poverty. The report, produced jointly by UNDP's Human Development Report Office and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI), reveals new ‘deprivation bundles’ that can help target development efforts worldwide.
The global launch event will be broadcasted live at 10 am EDT, October 17, from the SDG Studio in UN Headquarters in New York.
The event will feature leading development experts including:
Achim Steiner, UNDP Administrator
Aminata Touré, former Prime Minister of Senegal
Hala el-Said, Egyptian Minister of Planning & Economic Development
Sabina Alkire, Director of OPHI, University of Oxford
Luis Felipe López-Calva, Global Director for Poverty and Equity Global Practice, World Bank
Tasneem Mirza, Research Specialist, Human Development Report Office, UNDP
The event will be moderated by international broadcast journalist Shakuntala ‘Shaks’ Santhiran.
Teenager Solves Stubborn Riddle About Prime Number Look-Alikes

In his senior year of high school, Daniel Larsen proved a key theorem about Carmichael numbers — strange entities that mimic the primes. “It would be a paper that any mathematician would be really proud to have written,” said one mathematician.
Aloyzio, confira alguns destaques do primeiro dia do Congresso Brasileiro/Mundial de Cardiologia, que, nesta edição, bateu recorde de público, com mais de 12.000 inscritos!
Uma das atividades mais concorridas foi a palestra com Valentin Fuster - Novas fronteiras na saúde cardiovascular: do coração ao cérebro
Salim Yusuf participou de duas atividades onde falou sobre os determinantes da doença cardiovascular e o papel da vacina contra a gripe na prevenção de DCV.
A primeira atividade do dia foi o Curso de Atualização em Cardiologia. Nivaldo Filgueiras Filho falou sobre síndromes coronarianas agudas. As vagas se esgotaram no primeiro dia.
O lançamento do posicionamento sobre Cardiologia da Mulher, realizado pelo Departamento de Cardiologia da Mulher da SBC (DCM) foi um dos destaques. O documento tem como objetivo orientar profissionais em relação à saúde cardiovascular feminina.
American prisons are often unjust, inhumane, and ineffective at protecting public safety. Mariame Kaba and Ruth Wilson Gilmore believe they should be eliminated entirely.
‘Monumental’ Math Proof Solves Triple Bubble Problem
By ERICA KLARREICH
The decades-old Sullivan’s conjecture, about the best way to minimize the surface area of a bubble cluster, was thought to be out of reach for three bubbles and up — until a new breakthrough result.

Frank Wilczek has been at the forefront of theoretical physics for the past 50 years. Wilczek describes what he believes to be the most beautiful equations in physics.
Be Fruitful and Multiply AI researchers have applied AlphaZero’s game-playing expertise to an important problem in mathematics: finding efficient algorithms to multiply two matrices. Will Douglas Heaven reports for MIT Technology Review. Mathematicians have steadily improved their matrix-multiplication algorithms since the 1960s. In 2021 Kevin Hartnett wrote for Quanta about a new algorithm that approached the ideal speed known as “exponent two.”
Molecular Innovators Win 2022 Chemistry Nobel Prize
By YASEMIN SAPLAKOGLU
Carolyn Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless have been awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the development of click chemistry and biorthogonal chemistry. Click chemistry revolutionized the options available to chemists for creating the molecules they desired. Bioorthogonal chemistry made it possible to monitor the chemical processes going on inside living cells without harming them.
This article will be updated with additional details throughout the day.
