Have you ever wondered how insects are able to go so far beyond their home and still find their way? The answer to this question is not only relevant to biology but also to making the AI for tiny, autonomous robots. Drone-researchers felt inspired by biological findings on how ants visually recognize their environment and combine it with counting their steps in order to get safely back home.

A goal shared by many is increasing participation and diversity in clinical trials so that all Americans can benefit from medial research. Cost is one barrier to participation. Payments for clinical trials can be considered taxable income, but there is a bipartisan effort in Congress to change that. Legislative Director for Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA-16), Quinn Ritchie , recently joined us for an alliance discussion on H.R. 7418, the Harley Jacobsen Clinical Trial Participant Income Exemption Act.

High-protein diets, known as 'Paleolithic diets', are popular. Using mouse models, scientists have studied their impact. While effective in regulating weight and stabilizing diabetes, these diets are not without risks. Excess protein greatly increases ammonium production, overwhelming the liver. Excess ammonium can cause neurological disorders and, in severe cases, lead to coma.
