By Mischa Dijkstra, Frontiers science writer Crossmodal associations occur when people make unconscious but stereotypical connections between two or more senses. Here, scientists showed that associations between odors and colors can be particularly strong: powerful enough to distort our perception of colors. Our five senses bombard us with environmental input 24/7.

by Angharad Brewer Gillham, Frontiers science writer Image/Shutterstock.com Eating more plant-based dishes is good for your health and good for the planet – but the perception that these dishes are for women and not for men may be stopping some men from choosing plant-based meals. Scientists found that you can present vegan dishes with a masculine framing, altering the perception that these dishes are for women, but changing the perception doesn’t change people’s preferences.

Healthcare providers are investing more heavily in big data technology, as they strive to deal with growing challenges such as declining operating margins and an increasingly complex regulatory environment. However, many healthcare providers lack the technology or knowledge to use data prudently. One study found that 56% of hospitals do not have any data analytics or governance strategies.

Winter is coming—eventually. And while the earth is warming, a new study suggests that the atmosphere is being pushed around in ways that cause long bouts of extreme winter cold or wet in some regions. The study’s authors say they have identified giant meanders in the global jet stream that bring polar air southward, locking in frigid or wet conditions concurrently over much of North America and Europe, often for weeks at a time.

We have a new vaccine against malaria. On October 2nd, 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) approved R21, a vaccine that showed high efficacy in clinical trials. What’s equally important is that it is a low-cost vaccine that can be mass-manufactured. So, it’s easier to make the millions of doses required to fight malaria in endemic regions, particularly African nations.
