Scientists discovered that Neolamprologus savoryi fish use punishment to encourage offspring to cooperate in brood care, revealing advanced cognitive abilities previously thought unique to higher vertebrates. This study highlights that punishment for promoting cooperation exists beyond human societies, prompting a reevaluation of animal intelligence.
A single large population of healer cells, called regulatory T cells, is whizzing around our body -- not multiple specialist populations restricted to specific parts of the body as previously thought. These cells shut down inflammation and repair the collateral damage to cells caused after our immune system has responded to injury or illness. Tests, in mice, of a drug developed by the researchers showed that regulatory T cells can be attracted to specific body parts, boosted in number, and activ
The rise of advanced artificial intelligence (edge AI) could well mark the beginning of a new era for sustainable agriculture. A recent study proposes a roadmap for integrating this technology into farming practices. The aim? To improve the efficiency, quality and safety of agricultural production, while addressing a range of environmental, social and economic challenges.
June 19th is not only the day we celebrate Juneteenth, but this year will also be the 16th anniversary of World Sickle Cell Awareness Day. It is also the day that a collaboration of 46 nonprofit, community-based organizations and medical providers in the Northeast U.S. will shine the light on sickle cell disease by turning buildings, stadiums, museums, hospitals, and other landmarks across their cities red to support patients with SCD.
The potential of quantum computers is currently thwarted by a trade-off problem. Quantum systems that can carry out complex operations are less tolerant to errors and noise, while systems that are more protected against noise are harder and slower to compute with. Now a research team has created a unique system that combats the dilemma, thus paving the way for longer computation time and more robust quantum computers.

Sickle Cell Disease affects the African American community, with our community representing 90% of those living with the condition. About 1 in 13 Black babies are born with this blood disorder as this condition alters the structure and functionality of their red blood cells, impacting their journey through the circulatory system and resulting in a range of health challenges.
For this episode of our podcast, I chatted with Monet Farr Cole, the founder of New Paradigm’s Grief Recovery and Life Coach, about loss and the many ways it shows up in our lives. Farr Cole is a grief recovery specialist who works primarily with women and gives them tools to help them process their loss. We had a great discussion about the ways this impacts us all.
I double checked my packing list in preparation for my trip to Rwanda. Three weeks away from my home in Kenya was a long time, so I wanted to make sure I had all the essentials. Already in the suitcase were a couple pair of shoes, both open and closed-toe. Also, my favorite black trousers and a black and white top, a pairing that constitutes my best “official” attire, suitable to wear while presenting to a technical working group of maternal health care providers.
In late 2019 the previously unremarkable galaxy SDSS1335+0728 suddenly started shining brighter than ever before. To understand why, astronomers have used data from several space and ground-based observatories, including the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT), to track how the galaxy's brightness has varied. In a study out today, they conclude that they are witnessing changes never seen before in a galaxy -- likely the result of the sudden awakening of the massive b
New simulations show that hot neutrinos created at the interface of merging binary neutron stars are briefy trapped and remain out of equilibrium with the cold cores of the stars for 2 to 3 milliseconds.
A new technique can model an entire 3D scene, including areas hidden from view, from just one camera image. The method relies on image shadows, which provide information about the geometry and location of hidden objects.
