Yingying Zhang, an agricultural researcher, had only been in the U.S. for a few months as a visiting scholar before she disappeared.
Yingying Zhang, a 26-year-old Chinese scholar, traveled to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in April 2017 to pursue research in agriculture. Just three months later, she went missing from her college campus, and a former Ph.D. student at the University of Illinois was found guilty of her kidnapping and murder, and sentenced to life in prison.
A new documentary, “Finding Yingying,” goes behind the scenes of a desperate search to bring her home. Her body has never been recovered.

Urbana, Ill., Berkeley, Calif., United States:
The C3.ai Digital Transformation Institute invites scholars, software developers, and researchers to address the challenge of re-envisioning energy systems with artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation to lead the way to a lower-carbon, higher-efficiency economy that will enhance both energy and climate security.
“Mitigating the impact of global energy generation will require a massive transformation of the world’s energy infrastructure,” said Thomas M. Siebel, chairman and CEO of C3 AI, a leading enterprise AI software provider for accelerating digital transformation. “This call for proposals covers topics that aim to provide safer, cleaner, lower cost, and more reliable energy through the application of AI.”

When your child needs therapy to speak, eat, sit up, walk, make eye contact and reach other milestones, the outside world can be a scary place. I never really understood how isolating it was for some of these families. These families stay in their homes and they are very vulnerable, says Beth Deiter, an Arlington Heights speech-language pathologist who worked 12 years at what is now Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge. She started her home-based therapy practice after she and her husband, Chris, had daughter Cecilia, now 10, and son Elliott, now 8. While neither of her children needed therapy, she saw the need to offer more support to those who do.

A team led by a biomedical scientist at the University of California, Riverside, reports a drug an estrogen receptor ligand called indazole chloride (IndCl) has the potential to improve vision in patients with multiple sclerosis, or MS.
The study, performed on mice induced with a model of MS and the first to investigate IndCl’s effect on the pathology and function of the complete afferent visual pathway, is published in Brain Pathology. The afferent visual pathway includes the eyes, optic nerve, and all brain structures responsible for receiving, transmitting, and processing visual information.
