Ferguson was elected to the Maryland Senate in 2010 after defeating seven-term incumbent George W. Della Jr. in the Democratic primary for the 46th district. In October 2019, after Thomas V. Miller Jr. stepped down as president of the Maryland Senate, Ferguson was elected to succeed him.

Blueprint for Maryland's Future
The Blueprint for Maryland's Future, also referred to as just The Blueprint, is a landmark law in the U.S. state of Maryland. The bill represents a 10-year plan that aims to implement a series of education reforms recommended by the Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education, including expanding universal preschool, increasing funding for schools with high concentrations of poverty, increasing pay and opportunities for teachers, and creating career pathways for high school students. The law, as passed, will increase state education funding by $3.8 billion each year until 2032.
Koman languages
The Koman languages are a small, close-knit family of languages located along the Ethiopia–Sudan border with about 50,000 speakers. They are conventionally classified as part of the Nilo-Saharan family. However, due to the paucity of evidence, many scholars treat it as an independent language family. Among scholars who do accept its inclusion within Nilo-Saharan, opinions vary as to their position within it.

Koman languages in Ethiopia are in close contact with the Omotic Mao languages. In Ethiopia, some Koman-speaking groups also consider themselves to be ethnically Mao.

Omotic languages
The Omotic languages are a traditionally recognized but disputed grouping of languages spoken mainly in southwestern Ethiopia, around the Omo River region, and in parts of southeastern Sudan (Blue Nile State). This classification conventionally includes the Damotic (North Omotic), Dizoid (Majoid), Mao and Aroid (South Omotic) languages.

Some of these languages are written in the Geʽez script, while others use the Latin alphabet. They are generally agglutinative and exhibit complex tonal systems, as in the Bench language. The group comprises about 7.9 million speakers.

They are generally classified within the Afroasiatic family, though the internal coherence of Omotic as a linguistic unit is questioned by some linguists. For example, Güldemann treats Damotic and Dizoid as Afroasiatic, but considers Mao and Aroid to be separate language groups outside Afroasiatic, influenced by contact with North Omotic.
Mary Beckerle
Mary C. Beckerle is an American cell biologist who studies cancer at the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah School of Medicine. At Huntsman Cancer Institute, she is the CEO, and is Associate Vice President for Cancer Affairs at the University of Utah. Beckerle's research helped to define a novel molecular pathway for cell motility, and more recently, she has begun research into Ewing's sarcoma, a pediatric bone cancer. Beckerle's lab made a ground breaking discovery in regards to Ewing's Sarcoma in relation to the EWS/FLI protein. Her lab discovered EWS/FLI to disrupt the internal cellular skeleton, which decreases the ability of cells to adhere to their proper environment. This can help explain the metastasis of tumors in patients with Ewing's sarcoma.

Viral hemorrhagic fever
Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) are a diverse group of infectious diseases. "Viral" refers to a virus being the etiologic factor (as opposed to, for instance, a parasite or a bacterium), "hemorrhagic" as in "bleeding-associated," and "fever" meaning an unusually high body temperature. Indeed, bleeding and fever are typically the most prevalent and severe symptoms of VHFs.

There are five known families of (RNA) viruses known to cause hemorrhagic fever: Arenaviridae, Filoviridae, Flaviviridae, Hantaviridae, and Rhabdoviridae. Some VHFs are considered mild, such as nephropathia epidemica (caused by a hantavirus), while others tend to be debilitating or even lethal, such as ebola fever (caused by a filovirus). All VHFs have the potential to result in hypotension, high fever, and death.

Both humans and non-human animals can be infected. VHFs are often zoonoses, meaning they can be transmitted from wild animals to human populations; for instance, the Lassa arenavirus is spread by mice.
