WASHINGTON – Throughout the month of May, the nation celebrated the contributions of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities. Acting Secretary Su observed the month by sharing her perspective as well as highlighting the work of the Department of Labor. Acting Secretary Su spoke to the media about the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ 2023 effort to release the monthly unemployment rate and other key statistics for Asian subgroups: Asian Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and other Asian. This type of real-time disaggregated information allows policymakers and community stakeholders to identify who needs assistance, particularly during hard economic times, and…
Puppy yoga does what it says on the tin: group yoga sessions, with some extra canine guests. Customers are promised both a workout and theoretically lowered anxiety levels, thanks to the fluffy companions (and some Instagram content to boot). In Amsterdam, classes are available in the city and in places you can sign up for a session for €45, roughly double the price of your regular, humans-only slot. For some, you can select a breed; others don’t clarify until the “last minute” due to dog health and availability reasons. However, some have raised concerns about the impact of the craze…

Waves are ubiquitous in nature and technology. Whether it’s the rise and fall of ocean tides or the swinging of a clock’s pendulum, the predictable rhythms of waves create a signal that is easy to track and distinguish from other types of signals. Electronic devices use radio waves to send and receive data, like your laptop and Wi-Fi router or cellphone and cell tower. Similarly, scientists can use a different type of wave to transmit a different type of data: signals from the invisible processes and dynamics underlying how cells make decisions. I am a synthetic biologist, and my research…
The Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the High Representative of the European Union, and the Secretary of State of the United States of America affirm that the recent sanctions designations by each of our governments represent a coordinated effort to hold the DPRK and Russia to account and to impose costs on actors and entities involved in the unlawful transfer of arms from the DPRK to Russia for use in attacking Ukraine. Our governments stand in resolute opposition to these continued arms transfers, which Russia…

Brussels / Cairo, 30 May – The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has welcomed the USD 5.4 billion pledged to support millions of people still affected by the Syrian war, both within its borders and in neighbouring countries. The boost came at the end of the 8th Brussels Conference on “Supporting the future of Syria and the region,” which closed on Monday. “We must stand with the people of Syria,” said IOM’s Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, Othman Belbeisi. “The humanitarian needs remain high as millions of Syrians continue to live outside their home country, often relying…
The 2020s have already seen many lunar landing attempts, although several of them have crashed or toppled over. With all the excitement surrounding the prospect of humans returning to the Moon, both commercial interests and scientists stand to gain. The Moon is uniquely suitable for researchers to build telescopes they can’t put on Earth because it doesn’t have as much satellite interference as Earth, nor a magnetic field blocking out radio waves. But only recently have astronomers like me started thinking about potential conflicts between the desire to expand knowledge of the universe on one side and geopolitical rivalries and…
