“Jen has proven to be a dynamic, forward-thinking leader for the Academy,” said Kramer. “As we evolve the Academy to reach a larger and more global audience, we are thrilled to elevate her to this vital new role. Jen’s creative vision, along with the development of our new Academy Studios production team, will allow us to celebrate filmmakers and filmmaking on a greater scale, discover new ways to showcase our talented members, and continue to promote the exceptional work of our Academy Museum and Academy Collection. Our goal is to highlight to the broadest worldwide audience everything we do year-round.”

“In this new role, I’m excited to adopt innovative strategies that can celebrate both our industry’s greatest storytellers and the remarkable work they’ve created across disciplines,” said Davidson. “The establishment of Academy Studios allows us to preserve film’s rich history for future generations, while creating fresh and exciting ways to engage new audiences around cinema. I am thrilled about the opportunity to honor our past while elevating our future.”

Davidson has served as the Academy's Chief Marketing and Communications Officer since May 2024 and, before that, as Chief Communications Officer since December 2021.

#CulturedPeachy @AMNH Scientists from AMNH Discovered More than 70 New Species in 2025

From fruit flies that bite to a tiny mouse opossum and a feathered dinosaur preserved with the remains of its last meal, more than 70 new species were described this year by researchers at the American Museum of Natural History. The discoveries span an extraordinary range of life—dinosaurs, mammals, fishes, reptiles, insects, arachnids, marine invertebrates, and even a previously unknown mineral, highlighting the Museum’s continued leadership in exploring the natural world.

Some of these species are the result of recent fieldwork and modern collecting expeditions, while others were uncovered by revisiting specimens that had been preserved in the Museum’s collections for decades, awaiting new technologies and fresh scientific insight.

“Together, these discoveries highlight the remarkable richness of Earth’s biodiversity and underscore the enduring value of natural history collections,” said the Museum’s Senior Vice President and Provost of Science Cheryl Hayashi. “Specimens preserved across generations continue to reveal new insights, reminding us how much there is still to learn about life on our planet.”

Among the newly described species are:A new genus and species of sea anemone, Endolobactis simoesii, that has frond-like projections located on its lobes. The discovery results from an effort to improve scientists’ understanding of the diversity of sea anemones of the Atlantic side of Mexico and brings the number of documented species in this region to 24. (Zootaxa) Two species of fruit flies whose mouthparts are modified into a pair of hard “jaws” in the males. An extraordinary feature among flies, these structures are likely used for grasping the female during courtship. Both species are known from single specimens collected from the Philippines in the 1930s but just recently studied. (Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington) A Jurassic reptile with python-like hooked teeth and a body similar to a gecko’s that has links to the origins of lizards and snakes. The new species, Breugnathair elgolensis, was discovered in Scotland’s Isle of Skye by an international team of researchers and is one of the oldest relatively complete fossil lizards yet discovered. (Nature) A new species of mineral, called Lucasite-(La), which was discovered within a volcanic rock in Russia. The mineral was officially approved by the International Mineralogical Association this year, and the type material is now part of the Museum’s permanent collection. (European Journal of Mineralogy)A small species of mouse opossum with an exceptionally long nose and tail (Marmosa chachapoya). The mouse opossum was found in Parque Nacional Rio Abiseo in a remote part of the Peruvian Andes formerly occupied by people of the pre-Columbian Chachapoya culture, for which the species is named. Few species of mouse opossums have been collected at such a high elevation. (American Museum Novitates) A squirrel-sized animal that lived in the early Jurassic in what is now China between about 174 and 201 million years ago, Camurocondylus lufengensis. In a study led by researchers at the Museum and at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, C. lufengensis was detailed along with a second species discovered in the 1980s, finding that the evolution of the modern mammal jaw is more complex than previously thought. (Nature)A new genus and species of a crinoid, an ancient group of marine animals still alive today—sometimes called sea lilies—that are related to starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers. Discovered on the Natiscotec River on Anticosti Island, Quebec, the new fossil species, Anticosticrinus natiscotecensis, has a unique pattern of plates on the main structure of its body. (Journal of Paleontology)A fish from northwestern Madagascar that was discovered more than 20 years ago when the lead scientist was a graduate student. The new species, a cichlid that was named Paretroplus risengi, is distinguished by unique breeding coloration among other features. (Deep Blue Documents)Forty-seven species of fossil and modern insects, primarily bees, including a “teddy bear” bee species from Vietnam, Habropoda pierwolae (Raffles Bulletin of Zoology); a cuckoo bee with long, sword-like spines on its back, Xiphodioxys haladai (American Museum Novitates); a digger bee from Chile, Anthophora brunneipecten, with a small comb on its face for combing up pollen from its host plants (Entomologist’s Monthly Magazine); and a fossil bumble bee species from the crater lake of Enspel, Germany, still carrying pollen, Bombus messegus (New Phytologist)Two new species from the group of earliest feathered dinosaurs that lived about 125 million years ago in what is now China: one that was originally identified as a primitive “bird,” Sinosauropteryx lingyuanensis, and was discovered more than 10 years ago; and the other, Huadanosaurus sinensis, which was found with two mammal skeletons in its abdomen, the remains of its last meal. (National Science Review) Two new species of suckermouth catfishes from rapids along the Congo River, Chiloglanis kinsuka and Chiloglanis wagenia. These sister species are both highly adapted to the river and are separated by nearly 1 mile of river (1600 kilometers). (American Museum Novitates)Four species of small “sap” flies (family Aulacigastridae) in 17 million-year old amber from the Dominican Republic, captured when the tree resin was still soft. These flies today feed on the sap of wounded trees. The species reveal a surprising connection between the Caribbean and North America, since most such connections today and in the past are with Central and South America. (Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington)A suckermouthed minnow from the highlands of Vietnam that was collected and shelved 25 years ago by Museum ichthyologists and only recently examined. This is the first species of this genus discovered in Vietnam, and it was given the name Supradiscus varidiscus. (American Museum Novitates) Four different arachnids, including a scorpion from Iran—Hemiscorpius jiroftensis—whose venom is of interest in the development of pharmaceuticals (Diversity); a giant vinegaroon/whip scorpion from Mexico, Mastigoproctus spinifemoratus, discovered in collections borrowed from the California Academy of Sciences (Arthropoda); a short-tailed whip scorpion from the Venezuelan Amazon, Jipai longevus (Zootaxa); and a troglomorphic, cave-dwelling hooded tick-spider from Venezuela, Cryptocellus armasi (Zootaxa) A cryptic large-eyed fish from the Kouilou-Niari River in the Republic of the Congo that had long been misidentified. The new species, Labeo niariensis, a type of African fish known as Labeo, a type of carp, is based on specimens collected between 2010 and 2013. (Journal of Fish Biology)A pollen wasp (Metaparagia cuttacutta) collected in the Northern Territory, Australia. It represents the tenth described species of this genus and was collected by the lead scientist while he was stranded in Australia for eight months during the COVID-19 pandemic. (Australian Entomologist)

#AsiaPeachy Singapore Biennale 2025: Experience Singapore Anew Through Art

The eighth edition of the Singapore Biennale 2025 (SB2025) is on view through 29 March 2026. Guided by the theme of pure intention, audiences are invited to experience Singapore through immersive, participatory, and site-responsive works that reflect the rituals, histories, lived experiences and aspirations that have shaped our environments. These encounters encourage the public to discover different layers of the city's rhythms and evolving identity, opening new ways of seeing, feeling, and connecting through art.

SB2025 activates five neighbourhoods across the city, comprising over 100 artworks by more than 80 artists, alongside independent presentations from a diverse network of invited curatorial collectives. At Singapore Art Museum at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, artworks explore the complex interplay of history, technology, memory, and daily life. Paul Chan's bright nylon figures greet visitors, evoking shifting notions of the body, pleasure, and one's relationship to nature. In the gallery, Álvaro Urbano's stainless steel plants become characters in a carefully staged environmental theatre, reflecting on our layered histories of plantation agriculture and orchid diplomacy. RRD (Red de Reproducción y Distribución) explores everyday expressions from street-food packaging to artisanal plates, presenting unexpected connections between Singaporean and Mexican culinary cultures.

Along Singapore's Orchard shopping belt, SB2025 activates strata-titled malls and the former Raffles Girls' School at 20 Anderson Road. Step into the school field to encounter a transdisciplinary project by curatorial contributor Hothouse that questions the tamed definition of "nature". Look out for a "lucky cat" hidden amongst greenery, as Salad Dressing examines the ethics of rewilding, displacement and spiritual ecology.

In the Civic District, the Biennale activates monuments and public spaces like Fort Canning Park. lololol presents an after-dusk journey with a site-responsive light installation at the Lighthouse, and a sound walk around the park that speaks to the history of wayfinding. Scan the QR code to kickstart a GPS-enabled, self-guided sound walk, and immerse in a narrative shaped by the artists' encounters with lighthouses, keepers and crypto-linguists.

Along the Rail Corridor and its surrounding spaces, artworks explore how infrastructures shape how people live and belong. At Wessex Estate, Blenheim Court, the sea lingers in Jesse Jones' film and installation, where oyster shells are used to explore hydrofeminism and prehistoric ecofeminism. Have a kombucha by Huang Po-Chih, with unique flavours using ingredients from the artist's hometown in Taiwan, and economic crops that were once widely grown in Singapore. The work is also sold at multiple sites for Biennale-goers to enjoy.

SB2025 is commissioned by the National Arts Council, Singapore, supported by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, and organised by Singapore Art Museum. Find the full list of venues, artists and programmes at SB2025's website, or follow Facebook (@SingaporeBiennale) and Instagram (@sgbiennale).
