The image features, in the foreground on the left, the hands of a botanist injecting Cucumber Mosaic Virus into the leaf of an Arabidopsis thaliana specimen. This procedure aims to study the plant's antiviral mechanisms that inhibit the vertical transmission of the virus (credit: Stan Lim/University of California, Riverside - UCR).

A vector image depicting, on the left, the hand of a humanoid robot reaching out, almost touching, the profile of a human head on the right. Inside the head, the brain is visible with a network of nodes and connections, symbolising the concept of empathy in therapeutic processes aimed at mental health. The therapist could be either an interactive AI conversational agent or a human therapist.
