Meetings

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers will present more than 50 studies at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026, from April 17-22, in San Diego, Calif. The meeting is the focal point of the cancer research community, where leading scientists, clinicians, health care professionals, survivors, patients and advocates share the latest advances in cancer science and medicine.

Placed within a borehole drilled deep through the layers of a landslide, a fiber optic cable captured tiny, periodic stick-slip events that offer a unique glimpse at the complex movements within the landslide’s shear zone. At the Lantai site in northern Taiwan, researchers concluded that the timing and pace of these stick-slip events was linked strongly to typhoon rainfall and earthquake shaking, they reported at the 2026 SSA Annual Meeting.

Originally deployed to record re-entry signals of the OSIRIS-REx return capsule, a T-shaped fiber optic cable draped across the ground at a Nevada airfield also captured unique aspects of a Cessna 172’s speed and maneuvering.

The underground laboratory in Nevada where the U.S. conducts nuclear subcritical experiments is riddled with faults.

A new look at the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate beneath the coast of northern Oregon suggests this subducting slab is shallower than previously thought, with impacts on potential peak ground shaking during a Cascadia megathrust earthquake.

School at the University of São Paulo (Brazil) aims to strengthen proficiency in advanced electrochemical techniques relevant to next-generation batteries, catalytic interfaces, and sensors. Register by June 15.

To strengthen collaboration with industry, while enhancing warfighter readiness and lethality, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) — to include the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and ONR’s international arm, ONR Global — will host an exhibit at the Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space Exposition, April 20-22, at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.
