News and updates from across Carnegie Science
I feel passionately about the power of nonprofits to bolster healthy communities
Postdoctoral alumna Jo Ann Eder is committed to making the world a better place by supporting organizations
that create and foster STEM learning opportunities for all
Bjorn Mysen first arrived at Carnegie in 1972 when he came to the Geophysical Laboratory (GL) on Upton Street in Washington D.C
from Penn State as a predoctoral fellow (1972-1974)
Bjorn found a kindred spirit and mentor in Ikuo Kushiro
a visiting scientist from the University of Tokyo and former GL postdoc who trained him on how to do high pressure experiments the GL way
That effort produced an outstanding pair of papers on melting of hydrous mantle that launched a career dedicated to the phenomenon of the role of melt and fluids in the differentiation of our planet
Mysen was then awarded a position as a Carnegie Postdoctoral Fellow (1974-1977)
shortly after which he was promoted to staff scientist at the Geophysical Lab in 1977
making this Bjorn’s 51st year at Carnegie Science
Bjorn used a new and innovative technique to probe low-degree mantle melts using 14C as an isotopic tracer
investigated the solubility of H2O and CO2 in silicate melts and began his first forays into understanding what makes these melts behave the way they do – their short-range structure
As recognition for these early accomplishment Bjorn was awarded the F
Clarke Award of the Geochemical Society in 1977 and the Reusch Medal of the Norwegian Geological Society in 1979
Bjorn makes remarks at his retirement party

Mike presents at Bjorn and Susana's Retirement Party
Bjorn is an experimentalist’s experimentalist
having mastered and innovated a wide range of high-pressure and high-temperature techniques
Bjorn Mysen pioneered experimental studies of trace element partitioning studies
and applying optical spectroscopic methods as probes of glasses and melts
Bjorn was among the first to make experimental measurements of solid condensation from high-temperature vapor at high vacuum and to recognize the importance of redox equilibria on silicate melts and make measurements on experimental glasses using Mossbauer spectroscopy
and scientists from countries around the globe
dedicated himself to seeking answers to the many questions relating to the nature of silicate melts
The impact of his tremendous body of work and the answers he discovered throughout his career is truly remarkable
Together with his longtime collaborator Pascal Richet
Bjorn wrote the seminal book on ‘Silicate Glasses and Melts’ in 2005
In 2023 Bjorn finished another book that truly encompasses the scope of his interest and scholarship
‘Mass Transport in Magmatic Systems,’ which provides a new generation with a reference point to build upon for achieving new insights into our dynamic planet
Bjorn has also been a true force on the international stage
with visiting scholar positions at the Bayerisches Geoinstitut in Germany
the Institut de Physique du Globe in Paris
and the Institute for Study of Earth’s Interior in Japan
Bjorn has been steadfast and resolute in his support of his field
We are very pleased that Bjorn will remain at EPL for the foreseeable future as an emeritus staff member so that we may continue to draw upon his great knowledge and wisdom
Brage Vestavik’s story starts in his childhood backyard
piecing together makeshift bike features from construction scraps
With no local mountain bike scene in his small hometown of Mysen
young Brage took matters into his own hands
fueled by a desire to replicate the stunts he watched in freeride films
it was a DIY playground where he first learned the raw
creative riding style that would later define his career
Brage’s parents played a significant role in shaping his path
Rather than pushing him into competitive racing
AB nurtured Brage’s creative instincts and encouraged him to explore
Their close bond and shared love for biking helped Brage through tough times
like when a house fire left the family with little
They rebuilt their home and Brage started honing his skills on a tricycle in the dirt-strewn yard before graduating to bigger bikes and bolder features
The shift from playful backyard sessions to professional racing was a shock
Brage’s undeniable talent led him to a contract with Devinci and a spot on a World Cup team
But it wasn’t all smooth sailing—competing on the international stage was a steep learning curve
“It was a smack in the face,” he recalls
sharpened his skills and gave him the foundation for what was to come
the urge to return to freeride roots and creative builds never left him
Brage isn’t just a rider; he’s a builder at heart
it was the thrill of creating something new—whether it was sketchy jumps in the woods or complex North Shore features suspended in trees—that kept him coming back
Influenced by freeride legends like Darren Berrecloth
Brage started building trails inspired by iconic scenes from the films he admired
the act of building and riding is inseparable
a form of expression that goes beyond competition
Despite his global recognition and a Red Bull sponsorship
Brage’s heart remains in the local trails and sand pits of Mysen
building dream features with friends and working on passion projects
Bringing international riders to his hometown was a surreal experience
highlighting the special mix of terrain and camaraderie that makes his little corner of Norway so unique
Brage and his father have run a local bike club
The club isn’t just about shredding—it’s about building a community where everyone
“We never imagined seeing so many kids from town wanting to ride,” Brage says with a smile
not just for his riding but for his humility and commitment to giving back
Brage doesn’t hesitate—it’s riding with his crew
the friends who’ve been with him since the start
These are the people who drop everything for an impromptu session
heading straight from work to the woods without a second thought
It’s not about the cameras or the sponsors; it’s about the simple joy of pushing limits together
Brage Vestavik has built a career by following his own path
fearless riding and a deep connection to his roots
He’s taken his backyard dreams to the world stage
but the essence of his riding—the thrill of building
the love for the local woods and the joy of riding with friends—remains unchanged
In a world of polished content and flashy sponsorships
reminding us all why we fell in love with mountain biking in the first place

Rohde & Schwarz to supply liquid-cooled HF high-power transmitters to Norway for reliable and secure beyond line of sight (BLOS) communications in difficult terrain
The Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency (Forsvarsmateriell) needed high performance
reliable and secure communications equipment
the agency awarded Rohde & Schwarz Norge AS a contract to supply new HF radio equipment for approx
The contract includes the new generation of liquid-cooled R&S SK4110 HF high-power transmitters
The contract is part of the “Kampnær IKT til Forsvaret” Mime program
Forsvarsmateriell had already acquired Rohde & Schwarz HF radio receivers for the same network in the past
The Royal Norwegian Navy mainly uses this BLOS communications equipment for command and control
The network is operated by the Norwegian Cyber Defense Force (Cyberforsvaret)
“The Norwegian Armed Forces communications infrastructure is currently being renewed as part of the Mime program,” Cathrine Devold
program director Mime/MAST Forsvarsmateriell
“This contract gives us quick access to modern radios to be deployed as early as 2023.”
“The Norwegian government choosing us as suppliers for HF BLOS communications equipment is significant,” says Ove Ladegård
“The revolutionary R&S SK4110 HF high-power transmitter with 10 kW output power and HF wideband capability from Rohde & Schwarz meets advanced long-range BLOS communications requirements with very high data rates and maximum reliability
An innovative cooling concept minimizes operating costs and makes the transmitter a future-proof investment
The contract for a new HF structure will ensure a modern
future-oriented and reliable radio communications network that can be integrated into the rest of the communications infrastructure.”
The transmitters are extremely reliable with best-in-class availability
low total cost of ownership and unsurpassed performance thanks to R&S M3SR Series4100 software defined radios
They are ready to establish automatic links and handle the IP traffic that will be introduced later in the Mime program

ted.adventist.org/news is a website of the Seventh-day Adventist church in the TED Region
Seventh-day Adventists are devoted to helping people understand the Bible to find freedom
president of the worldwide Seventh-day Adventist Church
praised Norway’s Matteson Mission School as a “bright spot” in highly secular Europe and encouraged its students and other young people to press forward with their missionary work
singing enthusiastically and waving national flags
greeted Wilson as he arrived with his wife
and Trans-European Division president Raafat Kamal and his wife
a town located about an hour’s drive southeast of Norway’s capital
Inside a cosy living room
the students sang two more songs about Jesus and their mission work and presented the guests with glasses of freshly pressed apple juice
Wilson was clearly touched by the warm welcome at the family-style school
a supporting church ministry that trains young people to become medical missionaries
not just following politically correct things and going with the flow,” Wilson said
“You are one of the bright spots in the very sophisticated territory of the Trans-European Division.”
who like Wilson was visiting the school for the first time
struggled for words after the students concluded their singing
“I’m speechless and just trying to catch the moment,” he said
which was founded in 1986 and is affiliated with ASI
aims “to spread the gospel to the world in this generation” by training medical missionaries “for a life of wholehearted service to God,” according to its website
Students come from across Europe and elsewhere
and many of the graduates set their sights on reaching people in the Trans-European Division
speaking in an 18-minute devotional message
urged the students to do their best to proclaim the three angels’ messages of Revelation 14 that Jesus is coming soon
“I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work” (NKJV)
“You need to work while it is still day,” Wilson told the students
The students found Wilson to be personable
chairman of the Granheim Foundation that runs the school
“It motivated our students to be workers for God,” he said
“He [Wilson] was scheduled for 25 minutes and he stayed 55 minutes because he took the time for it
Wilson — wrapping up a two-week trip to Serbia
and Sweden — arrived at the school around noon on Sept
7 after leading church workers in a morning worship at the headquarters of the Norwegian Union Conference
union president Victor Marley emphasized that Adventists in Norway were committed to making mission first
One way that the church is fulfilling that goal is by sending up to 70 African students door to door to sell Adventist literature for three to four months every summer
The Norwegian Union Conference has a long-standing arrangement with the government for the summer programme
and the sales account for half of all books sold by the Norwegian Publishing House every year
Communication director for the Norwegian Union Conference
the two bestsellers are a wildlife book and a vegan cookbook
Wilson met the students participating in the 2018 programme during a tour of the union headquarters
The students eagerly crowded around Wilson to shake his hand and to take selfies
called it a privilege to meet and pray with the students
“What a blessing it has been for the Norwegian Publishing House and their literature evangelism programme to have guest students participate in their evangelistic outreach in Norway for many years,” he said
“Literature evangelism is important and helps mission work.”

Everything you need to know about all five routes across Norway and Denmark
The 2023 Tour of Scandinavia route was reduced to five stages this year
the peloton will compete across 574km from Mysen
The route will include the mountaintop finish to Norefjell Ski & Spa on stage 2 and a brand-new time trial in Herning on stage 5
Join Cyclingnews' coverage of the 2023 Tour of Scandinavia with race reports
This year's race begins with a flat-ish 124.6km stage from Mysen to Halden
It includes one intermediate sprint at the start of the race in Askim
two categorised climbs at Momarken and then upon entering the final circuit at Friedriksten Fortress
The peloton then races two laps of a local circuit before the finish in Halden
The second day of racing offers the longest day of the event along hilly terrain with a hilltop finish
The 150.5km stage begins in Vikersund with two intermediate sprints at Vikersund and Noresund
The peloton then races toward the final ascent
followed by the last climb to Norefjell Ski & Spa
Stage 3 looks like one of the most challenging routes
with a 130.9km race from Kongsberg to Larvik
with two categorised ascents at Vindfjell and Eidanger
The race then ends with a short but sharp climb in the last 1.4km into Larvik
The peloton will transfer to Denmark for the final two stages beginning with the stage 4 time trial in Herning
It is the first time the event has offered a time trial
The 16.4km route is expected to favour the strongest time trial riders
but there is a technical part in the center of Herning that will give the riders some extra challenges
The Tour of Scandinavia will conclude with a 143.9km race from Middelfart to Haderslev
The route will include two final ascents at Birkemose golf club and Hejlsminde
There are also two final intermediate sprints at Kolding and Christiansfeld
The peloton will then race onto the finishing circuits in for three final laps around Haderslev

Matt Nicholson is making the most of the opportunity to be on the floor for two-time defending Class A state champion Clarkston
Nicholson is playing a big role in helping Clarkston (11-2, 6-0) — ranked No. 6 in The News Super 20 poll —remain the premier team in the OAA Red Division and one of the top teams in the state
He's a 7-foot junior center for coach Tim Wasilk
who in his first year has Clarkston rolling
Wasilk knew all about Nicholson as an assistant coach under Dan Fife last year
watching Nicholson bang away in practice with a pair of 6-9 players in Taylor Currie and Thomas Kithier
It’s hard to believe Nicholson could have better practice partners than Currie (Wisconsin) and Kithier (Michigan State)
It also helped that Nicholson could go up against his older brother
who was a starter last year on Lake Superior State’s team
Nicholson is definitely making the most of his opportunity
using what he learned from a year ago in practice and putting it to good use on the floor
filling the stat sheet in Tuesday night’s 73-42 Red Division rout of Bloomfield Hills with 13 points
“You don’t even know how much I’ve waited for this,” Nicholson said after a 66-52 victory at Oak Park
“Growing up and watching them from the side
I’ve always dreamed about playing for Clarkston
that I have my chance it’s like a dream come true.”
Nicholson — who has a wingspan of 7 feet
4 inches — blocked six shots and altered at least a half dozen more
With a freshman backcourt of Fletcher Loyer and Keegan Wasilk
with losses to Sterling Heights Stevenson (59-53) and Pontiac (63-58) before getting that first win, 62-46, over a talented Orchard Lake St
then got used to it with a new coach and a new squad," Nicholson said
"So we kind of got things going now and we’ve got a feeling in how we have to play in order to go along with Clarkston basketball and the style
We just bring it hard every day and everything seems to click now.”
Nicholson credits his progression to going up against Currie and Kithier in practice
“I learned how to play hard and (against) a lot more moves," said Nicholson who is playing at 215 pounds
“Under Coach Fife you learn a lot every day
it felt like every day in practice was a game.”
and it just helps me because he has a high basketball IQ
so it helps me be more physical,” Nicholson said
“He has a lot of different moves that he teaches me
He just like analyzes the game and helps me with all that
helps me realize what I should do everywhere out there.”
Loyer, the younger brother of Michigan State freshman and former Mr. Basketball Foster Loyer
Senior guard Jake Jensen has played well coming off the bench
especially with Fletcher having his older brother,” Nicholson
They have a different viewpoint of the game for me
so it’s good seeing their viewpoint.”
Nicholson is definitely an option with his size in helping Loyer and Wasilk break the press
Tim Wasilk is thrilled to have a weapon in Nicholson
but must only wonder what could have been since Currie should still be playing at Clarkston
reclassifying prior to the 2017-18 school year
“None of the kids that play right now were in the rotation last year
so just getting them comfortable in what we want to do took some time,” Wasilk said
Fife used an eight-man rotation last season and the bulk of the players are playing in college
forward Tristen Mysen (Lake Superior State)
forward Hank Schemmel (Grace Christian) and guard Demond Mills-Bradley (Lawrence Tech)
“We’ve gotten better defensively,” Wasilk said
“Matt Nicholson creates havoc defensively with his length when teams penetrate on us
I think what Matt brings is that he’s a 7-foote,r and there’s obviously not a lot of 7-footers out there so what you get when kids drive in the paint is that you have great length
“He makes a big difference in terms of blocking or altering shots
he does a good job of establishing himself in the post
He does a good job of passing out of the post
but anywhere else he would have gotten time on the floor
you know going up against Taylor Currie and Thomas Kithier."
Michael Nicholson is proud of his younger brother
“Anytime that you have guys that go to the Big Ten you’re going to get better
even if it’s in practice,” Michael said of his brother facing Currie and Kithier last year
then he comes home and in the summer and plays against me. I had just graduated from Lake State
so he got tougher just going up against the bigger body
“I’ve seen all the work that he put in through the summer
As a brother he’s not always going to listen to me
but I’ve been surprised that this season he’s actually listening to what I’m saying
and it shows since he’s gotten a lot better since last year.”
Uttrup Ludwig hangs on for third in Halden
Uttrup Ludwig had gone with Liane Lippert (Movistar Team) when the German champion attacked on the climb to Fredriksten on the finishing circuit
and when the chasing group had almost caught the duo
accelerated again and went solo for the last 3.7 kilometres
taking a four-second advantage on the final kilometre
It looked like the Danish climber could hold off the peloton until Balsamo launched her sprint 200 metres from the line with Wiebes on her wheel
The European champion came past Balsamo with 100 metres to go
Wiebes also takes the yellow jersey for the overall lead
“It was quite hectic after the climb because everyone was on the limit
I am happy to be back sprinting after a period of sickness
it was also a question of how the legs will be
After a lap in the countryside around the starting town of Mysen
the peloton went southwards towards Halden
the hometown of the Tour of Scandinavia and its predecessor
Tiril Jørgensen (Team Coop-Hitec Products) was on a solo breakaway
having dropped Femke Beuling (EF Education-TIBCO-SVB) on the first classified climb and continuing on her own.
The Norwegian had an advantage of up to 3:30 minutes but was eventually reeled in just before Halden
where two-and-a-half laps of a technical finishing circuit awaited the peloton
After crossing the finish line for the first time with 17 km to go
riders had to tackle the climb to the fortress of Fredriksten overlooking the town twice
Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio (AG Insurance-Soudal Quick Step) put in an acceleration
then followed by an attack by Élise Chabbey (Canyon-SRAM) that broke the peloton apart.
Chabbey was first at the top to take the mountain jersey
leading a group of six that also included Moolman-Pasio
More riders returned on the descent to form a front group of 17
from which Soraya Paladin (Canyon-SRAM) made a shortlived attack
Her teammate Agnieszka Skalniak-Sójka made the next move over the cobbles of Rødsveien and was 29 seconds ahead with one lap to go
Yara Kastelijn (Fenix-Deceuninck) set the pace at the start of the second climb to Fredriksten
and Lippert then made her move with Uttrup Ludwig immediately jumping on her wheel
They quickly passed Skalniak-Sójka and crested the climb with an eight-second advantage on a chase group of seven
and Canyon-SRAM closed the gap to the front duo
a gap opened up again behind Uttrup Ludwig
who wasted no time and accelerated to pull away again
the sprints from Balsamo and Wiebes doomed her bid for a surprise stage victory on the Dane’s birthday
Wiebes also leads the points classification
but the green points jersey will be worn by Balsamo on stage 2
Megan Jastrab (Team DSM-Firmenich) will wear the white jersey as the best U23 rider

This year's 2022 Heroes Run in Kelowna will honour police service dog Gator
who gave his life to protect his handler and best friend during a high-risk call in Campbell River
Ned's Wish is partnering with Canine Heroes Kennel for the second annual Heroes Run
The Ned’s Wish society is committed to supporting law enforcement and the Canadian Armed Forces by providing financial and educational support to enhance the quality of life for their K-9 retirees in Canada
Unlike police and armed forces officers who receive a pension when they finish serving their communities
"We are dedicated to improving the quality of life of retired police and military dogs
We create financial support to aid in the cost of healthcare
and we provide education on the importance of caring for police and military dog retirees," said a spokesperson for Ned's Wish
This year's Heroes Run will honour police dog Gator who gave his life to make sure his handler was able to go home to his family
"To commemorate Gator’s five years of faithful service
we have set up a 5 km road race and are inviting our racers
to honour Gator’s sacrifice and celebrate his courage by running it with us," said Const
Kent Wagner with the Kelowna RCMP police dog unit
Typically police and military dogs retire around seven years of age
and the average life span of a police dog is between nine and twelve years
Police dogs comprise a small portion of the canine population
but the majority of their lives are spent in service to ensure the safety and well-being of others
"Retired police dogs are near the end of their lives
so by virtue Ned’s Wish is about quality
Ned’s Wish exists to help retired police dogs enjoy their remaining years," says Const
