The National University of Singapore’s Institute for Functional Intelligent Materials (NUS I-FIM) is organising AI4X 2025 for leading researchers, innovators, and industry experts to explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is driving breakthroughs across Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Climate Science, Materials Science, Mathematics, Finance, and more. The conference, which will be held in Singapore on 8 – 11 July 2025, aims to bolster and refine the use of AI research in Natural Sciences, technology and beyond, thereby accelerating scientific discovery and translational potential on all fronts.

This week at AAAS, PNNL scientists and colleagues discuss phenomics, exposomics, and the factors that influence DNA instructions to bring about the world around us.

The PREPSOIL project, part of the EU Mission Soil, aims to enhance soil literacy by encouraging teachers across Europe to integrate soil topics into their lessons. In 2023 and 2024, educators submitted over 50 innovative soil education practices for primary, secondary, and vocational students. A selection committee chose outstanding entries from six countries, highlighting creative interdisciplinary approaches.

Key partners, such as the Re Soil Foundation in Italy and the Swedish Centre for School Biology, played crucial roles in promoting the initiative. Despite challenges in reaching educators in some regions, PREPSOIL continues to drive awareness about soil health.

A webinar on February 13, 2025, will feature two competition winners presenting their projects.
