For each challenge there will be three winners, hand-picked by the judges, who will receive a cash prize plus an hour one-on-one meeting with an industry mentor.

At the end of the four weeks, Step & Repeat will announce one overall winner for each category, crowning them the very best in wardrobe, makeup, and hair based on entries from all over the world. TikTok is the place for anyone with talent and a creative voice to share their gift on a global scale. Step & Repeat is the platform that gives you the opportunity to be seen and celebrated.

IFF (NYSE: IFF)—a global leader in flavors, fragrances and health and biosciences, published its latest resource, Dear Dairy: The Life Stages Guide. This strategic guide reveals how manufacturers can unlock new opportunities by aligning dairy innovation with consumers' evolving needs throughout life. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261005026164/en/ “Dairy is one of the few categories that evolves alongside consumers throughout their lives,” said Rogerio de Almeida Prado, vice president of Global Dairy & BBC (Bakery, Bars and Confectionery) for IFF Taste. “Over time, expectations change.

Invivoscribe® Advances Molecular Clonality Testing Portfolio with Comprehensive LymphoTrack® Flex Suite6.10.2026 12:15:00 CEST | Press release

New ultra-high sensitivity tests enable objective, automation-ready, high-throughput clonality and MRD workflow. Invivoscribe, a global leader in precision diagnostics and measurable residual disease (MRD) testing, today announced the launch of the complete LymphoTrack Flex suite, an integrated next-generation sequencing (NGS) solution to identify and track immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor gene rearrangements. As NGS-based immune receptor MRD analysis moves from academic laboratories into routine use in oncology research centers, the demand for standardized, high-throughput workflows is accelerating. Laboratories are seeking both greater efficiency and ultra-high sensitivity. This requires increasing DNA inputs while ensuring higher testing throughput and analytical performance. Translational programs need testing that is both reproducible and scalable across sites.

Degreed Agents Enable Every Leader to Upskill Their Organization with Ease6.10.2026 12:00:00 CEST | Press release

Degreed was born with the mission to help everyone get credit for all of their learning and skills. Today, the company announces the latest phase of that journey with the release of Degreed agents, a connected system of AI agents that lets leaders and L&D teams automate personalized learning and skill building. Leaders set the direction, agents do the work, and together they form the foundation of a hybrid operating system for their workforce. Businesses today run workforce transformations as a relay. The CEO sets a mandate to get everyone AI-fluent. A talent leader then defines the end state while managers try to spot gaps on their own teams. L&D pulls reports by hand and builds what they can. Each handoff adds a delay. Now, agents can orchestrate all of that in real time. Degreed agents notice details that matter, like a promotion, a skill gap, or an engagement dip, and act on them without requiring a manager to notice, an admin to flag it, or L&D to build it. At launch, agents build
