In this educational video, ISA Certified Arborist Wes Rivers from TreeNewal offers viewers an in-depth look into the world of oak trees, specifically those found in North Texas. He explains how to identify different oak tree species using distinct features like acorns, leaves, branching habits, and bark texture.

Wesley introduces the acorn as the seed from which a mighty oak tree originates, describing its unique growth process in both white and red oak species. He further discusses the different shapes of post oak and red oak leaves, illustrating the contrasting rounded and pointed lobes. Wesley also emphasizes how oak trees are typically deciduous, with some species like live oaks and water oaks keeping some of their green leaves throughout winter.

The video covers the unique alternate branching arrangements in oak trees, and the various textures and colors of their bark. Wesley encourages viewers with oaks in their yards to seek guidance from TreeNewal’s team of ISA-certified arborists. This video is an excellent resource for those keen to learn more about their local trees or nature enthusiasts in general. Visit www.treenewal.com for more information.

Verdel's Q-2DMS aims to bring 2D mass spectrometry to more common hardware

Verdel's Q-2DMS aims to bring 2D mass spectrometry to more common hardware

Verdel and Warwick have developed a version of two-dimensional mass spectrometry called Q-2DMS. Until now, only the best-funded centers could afford 2DMS hardware, and Verdel's chief executive argues that the field lacked access, not an understanding of what the method can do. If 2DMS moves onto more common hardware, more labs could evaluate it. Published results show up to tenfold more usable spectral information on closely related or near-isobaric compounds, the look-alike molecules that separation and filtering tend to blur together or drop.

  • 01The reported gain of up to tenfold more usable spectral information applies to closely related or near-isobaric compounds, so the best trial samples are the mixtures chromatography struggles to separate.
  • 02A complete time-stamped record can be revisited after a sample runs out or degrades, and a full acquisition could, in principle, let archived runs address new questions later.

Antibody developability checks are moving into discovery instead of waiting for development

Antibody developability checks are moving into discovery instead of waiting for development

Maria Gonzalez-Pajuelo of FairJourney Bio says the order in antibody discovery is changing: developability has become a much more important consideration during discovery, rather than an issue left until later-stage development. The goal, she says, is that what comes out of discovery is something CMC can take forward easily.

  • 01Discovery-stage developability screens can rank many antibodies tested once or twice and may reduce surprises later in development, while development still focuses on several lots of a single antibody and answers different questions.

Caraballo expects AI across all five tracks at ISPE’s 2026 Annual Meeting

Caraballo expects AI across all five tracks at ISPE’s 2026 Annual Meeting

ISPE’s 2026 Annual Meeting and Expo in Washington, DC organizes its program around five tracks running from discovery to governance, with international program committee chair Connie Langer of Pfizer Global Supply and executive chair Jose Caraballo of JCO Global Advisory LLC describing how the tracks connect—and why AI is treated as a cross-cutting topic rather than a standalone track. Deloitte’s December 2025 survey of 280 executives frames the mood the program is built for.

  • 01ISPE’s 2026 Annual Meeting has no dedicated AI track; executive chair Jose Caraballo expects AI presentations across all five tracks, from discovery to governance.
  • 02Deloitte’s December 2025 survey of 280 biopharma and medtech C-suite executives found more than 75% confident in their own outlook but only 41% optimistic about the global economy, a mood the story says the ISPE chairs are programming for.
  • 03A staffing firm reports life sciences job openings falling even as digital fluency becomes a required skill, so the upskilling burden lands on the people already employed, which is where the mandatory, university-partnered AI training Connie Langer describes at her company sits.
