Sometimes the best medicine comes with four legs and fur, according to Brenda Schafer Kennedy SM ’93. She’s the chief veterinarian for Canine Companions, which provides free assistance dogs to children, veterans, and adults with disabilities. The dogs can do everything from opening doors for wheelchair users to alerting deaf people to doorbells. More at the link in the bio. 🐶 🐾

A mosquito finds its target with the help of certain cues, such as a person’s silhouette and the carbon dioxide they exhale.

A new model from @mitmathematics can be used to predict how mosquitoes will fly in response to other cues, such as heat, humidity, and certain odors.

These predictions could help to design more effective traps and mosquito control strategies.

The Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog 4.0 is a record of cosmic mergers detected between 2015 and 2024 by the @ligo_lab, @ligo_virgo, and KAGRA.

Each panel represents an individual smash-up — the collisions of two black holes, two neutron stars, or one of each.

The new catalog more than doubles the number of gravitational-wave detections.

"The beautiful science that we are able to do with this catalog is enabled by significant improvements in the sensitivity of the gravitational-wave detectors as well as more powerful analysis techniques," says Dean Nergis Mavalvala.

Joe Sikoscow ’06 grew up in New York, the son of a plumber and dietician, and recalls attending MIT as a pivotal experience. Now a portfolio manager, he volunteers to interview prospective MIT students from the Bronx. He and his wife, actress Jill Durso, recently made a sizeable gift in support of MITES Summer, an on-campus program that immerses high school juniors from across the country in life at MIT. “If you’re lucky enough to be successful, give back,” he says.
