SUMMARY: A Georgia Tech junior, Selassie, has developed a new, improved cervical cancer screening test aimed at making Pap smears more comfortable and accessible. Current tests are often uncomfortable, discouraging women from getting screened. Her innovative home test, resembling a tampon and made from softer silicone, allows women to self-administer easily. Motivated by a family loss to cancer, Selassie started her work at 20 and won the Community College Innovation Challenge. After transferring from Perimeter College to Georgia Tech, she joined a program that helps turn student ideas into startups. She’s secured a provisional patent and formed an LLC, planning to obtain a full patent soon.

A DeKalb County native studying at Georgia Tech has a bright idea that many women will have interest in. An early detection of cervical cancer has saved many lives, but many women will tell you getting tested is not fun. The student looks to help with that.

SUMMARY: University of Pittsburgh researchers found that while AI tools like ChatGPT are widely used by students for academic tasks, their presence is also reshaping relationships, trust, and emotional well-being in classrooms. Students often turn to AI for support, especially when overwhelmed, but feel guilt, anxiety, and confusion due to unclear rules and fear of judgment or false accusations. Many distrust peers who rely heavily on AI, complicating group work and engagement. The study urges educators to acknowledge these emotional dynamics, clarify expectations, and foster meaningful in-person connections to support student success in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
