Bringing Physics Into The Doctor’s Office?
Particle physics is a scientific discipline that tries to understand the tiniest building blocks of the universe. These particles are so small that we cannot see them with our eyes or even with advanced microscopes. To study them, particle physicists use huge, powerful machines called particle accelerators, which get particles moving at very high speeds and then smash them into each other. Examining what comes out of these collisions, using giant detectors, can teach scientists a lot about the tiny particles that make up atoms, like electrons and quarks, and even the famous Higgs boson. Nuclear physicists can also use and study radioactive isotopes – atoms that give off a kind of energy called radiation – in their experiments.
On the surface, particle physics and medicine might seem as different as plumbing and carpentry. But some particle physicists have the same goal as doctors – they would ultimately like to see their research improve human lives. Working together, doctors and particle physicists can combine tools and ideas from these two separate disciplines to improve the way diseases, like cancer for instance, are diagnosed and treated. When particle physicists collaborate with doctors, the sky(scraper) is the limit!

Abstract
In this article, we explore the importance of cooperation in science. Just as various construction trades must work together to build a skyscraper, scientists from separate fields can cooperate to tackle complex scientific challenges. This is called interdisciplinary collaboration, and it is a great way to do science. By bringing together knowledge and tools from multiple fields, scientists can uncover creative solutions and make meaningful connections that they might not have reached on their own. We give an example of how collaboration between particle physics and medicine – two fields that seem very different from one another – come together to improve healthcare. Using the tools of particle physics, scientists are enhancing cancer diagnosis and treatment. Interdisciplinary collaboration is the best way to address many of the complex issues we face today, like controlling climate change or fighting cancer, and it can help scientists and doctors make a lasting impact on human lives and the health of our planet.

To the Editor:
Defective airplanes, tobacco products, cars without seatbelts and social media posts: One of these things is not like the others.
The surgeon general Dr. Vivek Murthy proposes applying warning labels to social media platforms as if they are surely dangerous, like cigarettes and airplanes whose doors fall off during a flight. But there’s another way social media is different: It’s a tool we use to express ourselves. As such, its use is protected by the First Amendment1 .
This isn’t the first time the government has tried to regulate expression in the name of protecting kids. It tried to do so in the 1950s with comics, the 1980s with rock music and the 1990s with video games. We now look back on these efforts as misguided and unconstitutional.

One of the World’s 7,000 Languages Dies Every Three Months. Can Apps Help Save Them?
Like his ancestors, 65-year-old Clayton Long spent his childhood immersed in Navajo culture, greeting fellow clan members with old, breathful Navajo words like “Yá’át’ééh.” Then he was sent to an English-only boarding school where his native language, also known as Diné, was banned. “I went into a silent resistance,” Long says from his home in Blanding, Utah. He vowed that he would help to preserve it after he left the work he has done for about three decades as a teacher. This week, he’s entering new territory on that mission: the app store.
Long is one of the educators working with language-learning startup Duolingo on the company’s latest endeavor: using its popular app to revive threatened languages. On Oct. 8, celebrated in some places as Indigenous People’s Day, Duolingo will launch courses in both Navajo and Hawaiian, two of the estimated 3,150 languages that face doubts about their longterm survival. That’s nearly half of the estimated 7,000 languages spoken around the world.

Dom Casmurro (1899), perhaps Brazil’s most celebrated novel, has acquired in the century since its publication what must be the longest critical bibliography devoted to any single work of Brazilian fiction. Part of its attraction no doubt lies in the enigma concerning possible adultery and betrayal that many critics have found in its pages. In the distinct stages the interpretation of the novel has gone through, betrayal has been the key issue of debate.

It is noted that Bentinho silences the character of Capitu from the first to the last page, leaving the reader in a position of passivity in front of his story. Soon, the signs of betrayal described with contempt by Bentinho cannot be considered, since they are all drawings of his mind that at times showed signs of psychic disturbance. The narrator, represented by attitudes of jealousy, exaggerates in all the described occasions. Bentinho, already Casmurro, aims to understand the events that took place between his life and that of Capitu.

The song Sitting on the Dock of the Bay by Redding was right. When (Sittin’ on) the Dock of the Bay was released less than two months later, it became the singer’s first million-seller and first Billboard Number One single. But the legendary soul singer never got to hear the finished version of his breakthrough single: He had died in a plane crash on December 10th, 1967, almost a month before the song was released, (January 8, 1968).

(Sittin' On) The Dock of The Bay
So I’m just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time
Look like nothing’s gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can’t do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I’ll remain the same, yes
