Art, Identity and the Self in Retreat – State of the Planet

Fran Beallor wanted to be an astronaut as a child. Now, the artist, curator and educator has drawn a series depicting glaciers based on NASA satellite images. “Portraits of Glaciers,” illustrated in striking detail with colored pencils on paper, features glaciers from around the Earth. Two works from this series are on view through April […]

Creating Climate Solutions with Urban Communities – State of the Planet

As climate change accelerates, cities are on the front lines, both in experiencing its impacts and in crafting solutions. Sheila Foster works to ensure urban climate adaptation strategies are not only effective but equitable. Her research focuses on environmental and climate equity, with an emphasis on co-creating solutions with frontline communities. “Often the people who […]

Five Ways To Make Your Life More Sustainable – State of the Planet

Photo: Lukasz Kobus/European Commission As exciting as it is when certain records are bested, others are better left alone.  Case in point: Last year was the warmest year on record. Global temperatures in 2024 were 2.3 degrees Fahrenheit (1.28 degrees Celsius) above NASA’s 20th-century baseline (1951-1980), which tops the record set in 2023. The new […]

Melting Glaciers Reveal Clues to Climate Adaptation in Norway’s Mountains – State of the Planet

Glacial archaeologists have recently discovered the second prehistoric ski of a pair of skis at Digervarden, a mountain in central Norway. Found just five meters from where the first one was uncovered seven years earlier, the ski was radiocarbon-dated to 1,300 years ago. As global warming leads to more glacial retreat, many artifacts have surfaced […]

The consequences of oppressing diversity

But when diversity is constrained, whether by a dam or by the eradication of a top preditor, ecosystems become fragile and unravel. When diversity is suppressed, surprises can become more catastrophic, and novel pathogens are more likely to emerge and spread.  The story is much the same in human contexts – diversity of cultures, languages, […]

A coordinated kinase and phosphatase network regulates Stu2 recruitment to yeast kinetochores

Cells coordinate diverse events at anaphase onset, including separase activation, cohesin cleavage, chromosome separation, and spindle reorganization. Regulation of the XMAP215 family member and microtubule polymerase, Stu2, at the metaphase-anaphase transition determines a redistribution from kinetochores to spindle microtubules. We show that cells modulate Stu2 kinetochore-microtubule localization by Polo-like kinase1/Cdc5-mediated phosphorylation of T866, near the […]
