Heliophysics (HP) researchers study the nature and dynamical interactions of the Sun, the heliosphere, and the plasma environments of the planets based on data from a fleet of spacecraft and ground-based platforms termed the "Heliophysics System Observatory" (HSO; Heliophysics Data Environment, 2021). As we seek a more detailed understanding of the global and local dynamics of this system, we increasingly need easy access to data from many of the observatories. The best route to integrating these data is the adoption of standards for data formats, metadata terminology and syntax, and access APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). HP has nearly universally adopted the data file formats of CDF (NASA Common Data Format, 2021), FITS (Ponz et al., 1994

Latex conjugates made from whole cells of the most widely circulating leptospira in Cuba showed a degree of concordance with MAT that was similar to or better than that seen with the Lepto Tek Dri Dot commercial system, both in human and animal sera. We recommend more widespread use of the latex-Pool conjugate in Cuba in the initial screening for antibodies against leptospira.

While most medical schools in the USA provide opportunities for global health experiences, global health education is not included consistently or emphasized adequately in many medical school curricula. The City University of New York Medical School (CSOM) has a mission to educate and train students who are traditionally underrepresented in medicine to practice primary care in medically underserved communities in New York. This manuscript documents the experience of the CSOM in expanding global health education by introducing a new global health cancer training program, partnering with clinicians at the Ocean Road Cancer Institute (ORCI) in Tanzania. This manuscript illustrates the following points: (1) the CSOM curriculum that focuses on community health and social medicine; (2) the process by which students learn by developing research proposals for global cancer; (3) the field research experience and lessons learned; (4) learning about cancer and medicine in a developing country; and (5) lessons learned for translation from global to domestic underserved populations. We also suggest a checklist for future students interested in pursuing global cancer education and research, and recommendations for maximizing learning and career development of students interested in global cancer research and its application to underserved populations in the USA.
