A Scientific Method for Flawless Cacio e Pepe
American Institute of Physics (AIP)

In Physics of Fluids, researchers have developed a foolproof recipe for cacio e pepe, based on their findings studying the physics of mixing cheese in water and determining the mechanism that causes the cheese sauce to go from creamy to clumpy. The team found that a 2%-3% starch-to-cheese ratio produced the smoothest, most uniform sauce; they recommend using powdered starch, rather than relying on an unknown amount of starch in pasta water.

Nursing 2025: No Relief in Sight as Burnout, Stress and Short Staffing Persist
Florida Atlantic University

A survey of 2,600 nurses and nursing students reveals a profession under severe strain, with widespread stress, burnout, and staffing shortages threatening both nurse well-being and patient care. Despite increased attention since the pandemic, little progress has been made, with 65% of nurses reporting high stress, 40% unsure they’d choose the profession again, and students already anxious about workload. Still, many students remain hopeful, and the profession is urgently calling for better staffing, leadership, flexibility and recognition.

Extreme Monsoon Changes Threaten the Bay of Bengal's Role as a Critical Food Source
Rutgers University-New Brunswick

New research involving Rutgers professors has revealed that expected, extreme changes in India’s summer monsoon could drastically hamper the Bay of Bengal’s ability to support a crucial element of the region’s food supply: marine life. The study, published in Nature Geoscience, was conducted by scientists from Rutgers University, the University of Arizona and collaborators from India, China and Europe. To reach their conclusions, the scientists examined how the monsoon, which brings heavy rains to the Indian subcontinent, has influenced the Bay of Bengal’s marine productivity over the past 22,000 years.

Immunotherapy Could Replace Surgery, Enabling Patients To Retain Their Organs and Enhance Their Quality of Life
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

New results from a clinical trial led by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), demonstrate how immunotherapy alone can allow people with MMRd cancers to avoid surgery and preserve their quality of life. The results, presented at the 2025 American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting and published simultaneously in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), found that 80 percent of patients did not require surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy after six months of treatment with immunotherapy alone.
