Rats are well known for carrying diseases. And as they migrate in cities, they spread bacteria that could be life-threatening to humans, according to a six-year study co-authored by Nate Stone , a Ph.D. student turned research scientist at NAU’s Pathogen & Microbiome Institute, and Dave Wagner , PMI’s executive director. The pair worked on the research alongside colleagues at NAU, Tufts University, the United States Department of Agriculture and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.   The study found that urban rats carry a type of bacteria that causes leptospirosis, a disease that sometimes damages the liver and kidneys and could lead to death in humans. The disease-causing bacteria are spread through rats’ urine in soil, water and other parts of urban environments, where they can become a source of infection and contamination for humans, dogs and other species. The bacteria are most common in tropical regions—but rising temperatures from climate change could cause them to become more prevalent.    Researchers found that leptospirosis persists in Boston rat populations, and different strains of the bacteria move around the city as groups of rats migrate. In addition, the scientists’ genetic analysis of a 2018 human leptospirosis case in Boston

To further enhance its advertising offerings, LinkedIn has expanded the BrandLink programme, which launched last year under the name Wire Program. This expanded initiative allows brands to put video ads alongside trusted publisher content and, now, also includes video placements with big creators across the US and UK. This new phase of BrandLink allows brands to sponsor original videos from well-known industry voices, such as Steven Bartlett, Rebecca Minkoff, Gary Vaynerchuk, Guy Raz, Bernard Marr, Allie K. Miller, Candace Nelson, and Shelley Zalis. These creators are industry leaders who bring a wealth of expertise and influence to LinkedIn’s professional audience. With the expanded BrandLink programme, brands can now run video ads before video content produced by these creators, allowing them to engage with LinkedIn’s more than 1 billion users in a way that feels relevant. Brands can choose to sponsor a selection of video shows that focus on themes critical to LinkedIn’s community, such as female entrepreneurship, AI and innovation, the CEO playbook, and small business success stories. Matthew Derella , Vice President of LinkedIn Marketing Solutions, emphasized the importance of this expansion, stating, “With the expansion of BrandLink, we want to deliver relevant and credible content on topics that

C-suite executives are increasingly broadcasting their AI literacy as AI adoption becomes more widespread in the workplace. New data from LinkedIn shows that three times as many C-suite executives have added AI literacy skills to their LinkedIn profiles compared to two years ago. That is based on research of more than 1 million senior leaders, according to LinkedIn. This signals a shift in not only what skills workplace leaders are valuing but how they approach their daily work, says LinkedIn COO Dan Shapero. "There's an increased belief that … if I want to have my organization really capitalize on AI as a capability that changes how we operate, I can't just make sure that we have AI tools," Shapero tells CNBC Make It. " that I'm actually showcasing how AI can be used in day-to-day work." The data shows an opportunity for individual contributors to get ahead, Shapero says. The increased emphasis on AI could mean that those who willingly and wholly adopt it quickly improve their performance, he says. "My expectation is that we will start to see a set of employees at every company that are delivering results at an unparalleled rate because they

By Brian Fonseca The Trump administration is holding talks with Iran and turning its back on Maduro. Continued isolation will deepen Caracas’ reliance on U.S. adversaries. Ongoing renewed talks between the U.S. and Iran show that engagement remains a key instrument in the Trump administration’s foreign policy toolbox, even as it advances a staunch “America First” agenda. This isn’t complicity with Tehran’s regime—it’s strategic, and the move suggests that the White House continues to prioritize pragmatism over ideology. A similar principle can be applied in a case much closer to home and with significant ramifications: Venezuela. The recent meetings between Trump special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi... Read this article on the Americas Quarterly website. | Subscribe to AQ.
