Taytum Robinson is one of the people working to shed light on the MMIWG2S movement. She uses her creative work as an artist to help advocate for those who have been murdered or gone missing. She said she believes that MMIWG2S is a transnational crisis. I wouldn t describe it as a pandemic or epidemic because, in my opinion, it s a crisis that is directly linked to genocide, Robinson said. It s a very serious topic. And unfortunately, Indigenous peoples don t have the support from law enforcement that I feel they really deserve.
According to Robinson, missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people fall under the radar far too often.

When retired gastroenterologist and Jain devotee Jasvant Modi sought to spread knowledge of the faith, Cerritos College in Norwalk, South California seemed like the perfect fit. He and his wife Meera, along with donors Harshad and Raksha Shah, last month pledged US$1 million to fund an endowed scholar of Jain studies at the community college in the United States, writes Nina Agrawal for
Los Angeles Times.
They are among a small but dedicated group of American Jain donors who are seeking to expand US awareness of the ancient belief system of Jainism and its teachings beyond an estimated 5 million to 10 million mainly Indian followers. And they think academia is the best place to do so, especially at a time of increasing calls to move away from Eurocentric perspectives in education.

Researchers at Cornell University are developing technology that can charge an electric car while it s in motion.
US highways could embed the roads with metal plates that charge the cars as they drive over them.
The project is about five years away from a roll out, but can already power most electric vehicles.
What if you could charge your electric car while you were driving it?
Researchers out of Cornell University have been working on just that, developing a solution to one of the biggest hurdles to electric car adoption - battery range and charging availability.

Researchers out of Cornell University have been working on just that, developing a solution to one of the biggest hurdles to electric car adoption battery range and charging availability.
Khurram Afridi, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at Cornell, is honing technology that would allow drivers to charge their electric vehicle while they are in motion. He has been working on a project for the past seven years that would implant wireless charging infrastructure into US roads.
