In a world where women make up less than one third of the world’s researchers closing this gender gap is not only a matter of fairness it is essential to the quality, relevance, and impact of science, technology, and innovation. When women and girls are fully included in shaping discovery and decision-making, societies are better equipped to solve complex global challenges and build sustainable, inclusive economies.

As we celebrate International Day of Women and Girls in Science (IDWGIS), the call to dismantle persistent barriers and accelerate gender equity has never been clearer.

In today’s evolving global landscape where inclusion and innovation are shaping the future of scientific advancement , the Schlumberger Foundation proudly celebrates 24 new PhD graduates in the 2025 cohort of the Faculty for the Future program, who have successfully completed their doctoral studies.

Their achievement represents more than academic excellence , it is a decisive step toward strengthening the global pipeline of women leaders in science and engineering. Through dedication, resilience, and exceptional talent , these scholars have paved the way for groundbreaking research across diverse fields. From advancing sustainable water resource management to innovating engineering solutions, addressing urgent challenges in climate and environmental sciences, and driving progress in agricultural sciences, their work is making a tangible impact and shaping the next generation of transformative leaders.

As they step into the next chapter of their journey, we celebrate their success and trust that their curiosity, unwavering purpose, and transformative work will continue shaping their communities and advancing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics in the years ahead.

Congratulations to all the graduates!

We’ll be announcing the recipients of this year’s grants in April, and we can’t wait to welcome the next cohort of extraordinary women who will continue shaping the future of STEM!

Partnering with community organizations during a landmark year of sports year to expand opportunity

PHILADELPHIA, February 11, 2026 /3BL/ – Throughout 2026, the company will support community-focused initiatives alongside major sporting events including Super Bowl LX, NBA AllStar 2026, and the FIFA World Cup 2026™. Working with leading nonprofit and community partners, these efforts are designed to address local needs while advancing long-term impact nationwide.

These initiatives are part of Project UP, Comcast NBCUniversal’s $1 billion commitment to expand connectivity, skills and storytelling in ways that create access and opportunity.

“Sports have a unique ability to bring people together—and with that comes a responsibility to invest in the communities that make these moments possible,” said Dalila Wilson‑Scott, Chief Impact & Inclusion Officer, Comcast Corporation, and President, Comcast NBCUniversal Foundation.

“Through pairing our global platforms and local partnerships, we’re turning major sports moments into meaningful opportunities for young leaders, their families, and innovators everywhere.”

Hilary Smith, Executive Vice President, Corporate Social Responsibility, NBCUniversal added, “By investing in people and partnerships that extend beyond a single event, we’re helping ensure sports serve as a catalyst for access and impact in communities across the country.”

The community investments include:

• Super Bowl LX Community Day
  In partnership with NBC Bay Area, Comcast NBCUniversal is supporting youth events hosted by Laureus Sport for Good USA and Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA). Led by PCA coaches and current and former NFL players and coaches, the events will provide hands‑on training, mentorship, and team‑building. Youth Beat apprentices will also work with NBC Bay Area to create Super Bowl‑related content.
• NBA All-Star Pitch Competition
  In collaboration with the NBA Foundation, the company is providing Los Angeles–area entrepreneurs and game changers making social impact with coaching and the opportunity to compete for $200,000 in cash prizes during NBA All-Star week.
• Game Changers Innovation Lab
  Alongside Beyond the Ball, during NBA All-Star week, Comcast NBCUniversal is co-hosting immersive, hands-on experiences for high school students to participate in design challenges and explore how STEM and emerging technologies—such as AI, computer vision, and player-tracking analytics—are shaping the future of sports.
• Southern California Wildfire Recovery
  Through a partnership with San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles, and the LA Clippers the company is supporting neighborhoods impacted by the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires. The effort aims to support 100 local families through volunteer home build events culminating at the 18th Annual NBA Cares All-Star Day of Service.
• Creative Impact Lab
  Nonprofit organizations Kids in the Spotlight, Venice Arts, and more are providing hands-on production opportunities for emerging storytellers. In collaboration with the NBA, select apprentices will produce original content during NBA All‑Star Weekend, gaining professional experience and exposure across Comcast NBCUniversal and NBA platforms.
• “Yes, Coach!” and Soccer Forward Grants
  Working with the U.S. Soccer Federation’s Soccer Forward Foundation and Telemundo-owned stations, Comcast NBCUniversal will provide grant funding to 17 local soccer organizations nationwide. In addition, the U.S. Soccer Foundation will equip coaches with bilingual tools, training, and mentorship that support youth development on and off the field.
• “Tu Momento. Tu Jugada.”
  Also known in English as Telemundo’s Next Play, the company is delivering a yearlong, multicity tour across key markets — San Francisco Bay Area, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. — to bring the excitement of the FIFA World Cup into communities through youth clinics, mobile fan experiences, and local partnerships. As the exclusive Spanish-language home of the World Cup, Telemundo is extending the energy of the tournament far beyond the stadium.
• The More You Know
  NBCUniversal is activating its acclaimed PSA campaign, The More You Know, with NBC Sports voices and Telemundo Deportes’ talent to raise awareness around important issues like physical and mental health and expanding youth access to sports.

Together, these initiatives demonstrate how Comcast NBCUniversal is leveraging the global reach of sports and the strength of local partnerships to drive lasting community impact across the country.

Around the world, the logistics sector is growing fast, but companies can’t find enough qualified workers to keep up. In fact, a shortage of skilled talent is now one of the top barriers to growth across the industry. In Mexico, for example, the logistics sector is projected to grow by approximately 7% annually by 2030, yet 68% of logistics companies already report difficulty finding skilled talent (ManpowerGroup).

At the same time, many young people in Mexico are looking for work. But misaligned school systems and limited access to technical training leave them unprepared for jobs in modern logistics. As a result, young people are locked out of high-potential careers, and companies face severe difficulties hiring the best talent.

In 2018, FedEx approached the International Youth Foundation (iyfglobal.org) with a shared challenge: How can we best close this workforce gap while building a more inclusive, future-ready logistics sector?

We’re often flooded with diet promises claiming to be the key to better health. Popular plans like keto and paleo encourage more meat. At the same time, fibermaxxing focuses on daily fiber intake (a difficult goal when you’re eliminating carbohydrates). It’s easy to be confused and wonder what approach makes the most sense. What if you could take the best parts of these trends—like fiber-rich produce, quality protein, and nutrient-dense foods—and make them work for you? Guiding Stars is here to show us how we can.

Keto, but Better

The typical keto diet is very low in carbohydrates (less than 50 grams). It’s also very high in fat (about 70% of calories). Putting your body into ketosis will likely lead to weight loss—that is true. However, consuming so few carbohydrates can have a negative impact on your digestive system, mood, energy output, and strength. And a diet so high in saturated fat from higher-fat meat and full-fat dairy also increases risk of heart disease.

Are you curious about the keto diet but also looking for an approach that’s sustainable (with fewer negative impacts)? Then modify the traditional approach. Go for Guiding Stars-earning, lean meats for high-protein intake without saturated fat. Choose very lean ground turkey, 90% lean ground sirloin, and skinless chicken breast. Limit higher-fat proteins to salmon and other fish high in omega fats. And include just enough whole grains and fiber-rich vegetables to sustain your energy and protect your digestive system.

Intermittent Fasting

The eating pattern known as intermittent fasting remains popular. But for many people, it’s unsustainable and creates extreme hunger that leads to the same or more daily intake (just in fewer hours). Instead, eat earlier in the day and limit evening eating to create a 10-12-hour overnight fast. This gives the digestive system time to rest and may positively impact metabolism as well. For many of us, this simply means not eating after 6 or 7pm.

Plant-Based Protein

Interest in plant-based eating has increased over the past few years, with more products proudly calling out “plant-based” on their packaging. But it’s easy to overlook the nutritional quality of a product if “plant-based” is the only consideration. Look for Guiding Stars to ensure a product isn’t just made from plants, but that it’s nutritious too. Remember, you aren’t just not eating meat, you’re choosing plant-based protein. Viewing it through this lens encourages a balanced diet with adequate protein. Without this focus, your diet may lack the nutritional balance you need.

Paleo

The paleo diet attempts to replicate the way hunters and gatherers ate before we could farm (and process) foods. The emphasis is on grass-fed meat, fish, poultry, eggs, nuts, seeds, and lower-glycemic vegetables and fruit. Unlike the keto diet, a paleo approach won’t leave you in ketosis. However, eliminating whole grains, dairy, and legumes means missing out on fiber and other essential micronutrients. Try a more balanced, sustainable approach instead—choose fewer processed products, limit added sugar, and use Guiding Stars to find nutrient-dense products

About Guiding Stars

Guiding Stars is an objective, evidence-based, nutrition guidance program that evaluates foods and beverages to make nutritious choices simple. Products that meet transparent nutrition criteria earn a 1, 2, or 3 star rating for good, better, and best nutrition. Guiding Stars can be found in more than 2,000 grocery stores and through the Guiding Stars Food Finder app.
