The Atlas of Rome is a significant contribution to the historical mapping of the Eternal City, integrating archaeological and topographical information into a visually stunning and academically rigorous two-volume set. The first volume introduces the project's goals and methodology, while the second volume contains hundreds of detailed maps and illustrations. The work is praised for its meticulous production and rich information, although some speculative reconstructions may not be universally accepted. Overall, it is a monumental piece of scholarship that offers an invaluable account of Rome's complex archaeology.

A systematic review and qualitative meta-synthesis aimed to understand the experiences of researchers working in academia and the effects on their mental health and well-being. The study synthesized data from 26 papers and identified seven key themes affecting researchers' mental health at individual, interpersonal, and systemic levels. Systemic issues such as job insecurity, lack of family-friendly policies, and high performance expectations were found to contribute to stress and potential mental and physical health difficulties. The review also highlighted the importance of peer and social networks for well-being, the role of supervisors in doctoral researchers' mental health, and the unique challenges faced by under-represented groups in academia. The study suggests that academic institutions need to address systemic issues and provide clear, accessible mental health support, while further research is needed to explore the experiences of post-doctoral researchers and under-represented groups.

GATA2, a hemogenic transcription factor, remains bound to chromatin throughout mitosis, independently of cellular context or protein levels, and bookmarks key hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) regulators. The study demonstrates that GATA2's mitotic retention is crucial for definitive haematopoiesis, as its degradation during the M-G1 transition leads to embryonic lethality and impaired hematopoietic development. The research highlights the importance of GATA2's C-terminal zinc finger (C-ZF) domain for DNA binding and mitotic retention, and shows that GATA2 cooperates with other hematopoietic regulators during mitosis. The findings underscore the critical role of GATA2 in maintaining hematopoietic lineage commitment and blood specification during embryonic development.

A recently uncovered mosaic in London, found during excavations for the Liberty of Southwark development, offers new insights into the lives of the privileged during Roman Britain. The mosaic, the largest found in London in over 50 years, highlights the cultural and artistic influences from the continent that shaped London's development. The site, possibly a Roman mansio, reflects the city's role as a significant port and cultural hub. The mosaic's design, linked to local and continental craftsmanship, underscores the historical cultural exchange between Londinium and its European neighbors.

The private space travel industry has seen significant milestones with Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin completing fully crewed flights. Tapis Corporation, known for developing high-performance fabrics for airline cabins, is supplying materials for the interiors of spacecraft from Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin, SpaceX, and NASA. Tapis and Ultrafabrics have provided customized fabrics for seating and wall surfaces, ensuring comfort, stain resistance, and compliance with strict safety standards for flammability and combustion in oxygen-rich environments. The materials have been tested and enhanced to meet NASA's stringent requirements, contributing to the goal of space tourism and commercial crew programs.

The great fire of 192 CE in central Rome resulted in a significant loss for ancient Greek and Roman scholarship, comparable to the burning of the Library of Alexandria. Historians realized the true cost of this fire in 2005 when a long-lost text by Galen, a court physician, was rediscovered. Galen's work, 'On Consolation from Grief,' offers insights into the lost world of ancient public libraries, describing the three libraries on Rome’s Palatine hill and their role in safeguarding authoritative texts. The fire not only destroyed rare texts but also affected surviving copies and consumed scholars' personal collections, leading to profound despair among the academic community.

The Italian Ministry of Culture has announced a €18.5m project to install a retractable wooden floor in the Colosseum, aiming to restore a gladiator's perspective of the arena. The design by Milanese firm Ingegneria will use sustainable Accoya wood slats and is part of a broader strategy to enhance Rome's archaeological sites. While the project has garnered enthusiasm, it also faces criticism regarding its cost, potential damage to the ruins, and the risk of increased commercialisation. The new floor is expected to be completed by 2023, allowing visitors to experience the Colosseum in a new way.

The Mausoleum of Augustus, a significant ancient Roman ruin, has reopened to the public after a long-awaited restoration funded by Fondazione Tim, Telecom Italia's charitable foundation. The mausoleum, built to house the remains of Rome's first emperor Augustus, has a rich history, having served various purposes over the centuries. The restoration process has cleared and stabilized the structure, and a new visitor itinerary has been installed. Despite current restrictions, the site now features an extensive website offering virtual and augmented reality experiences, making it accessible to a broader audience.
