U.N. Celebrates First World Glacier Day – State of the Planet

Melting glaciers can have profound effects on nations all over the world—from mountain communities to small island states. At the U.N. headquarters in New York on Friday, March 21, U.N. General Assembly President Philémon Yang closed the proceedings of the inaugural World Glacier Day with a stark warning: “We cannot afford to wait, we must […]

China Authorizes Controversial Hydropower Project in Landslide-Prone Region of Tibet – State of the Planet

In late December, China approved the world’s largest hydropower project to begin construction, citing the economic benefits and need to shift to renewable energy sources. However, opponents argue that frequent natural hazards in the region create risk for the project and surrounding Tibetan communities, as well as for the downstream countries of India and Bangladesh.

Dairy giant Arla’s climate ‘fairytale’

Plant-based The report states that Arla also fails to declare any reduction targets for material non-CO2 emissions, including methane, and does not publish detailed reporting on methane. This is despite the company declaring in its 2023 Annual Report that “methane emissions are a major challenge for the dairy industry”, and stating that methane comprises 43 per […]

Mammals didn’t walk upright until late—here’s what fossils reveal

For over a century, scientists have puzzled over a fundamental mystery in our evolutionary history: how did mammals go from sprawling like lizards to striding like cats and dogs? This transition — from a sprawled stance (like a lizard) to an upright (parasagittal) posture — marked a pivotal moment in mammal evolution. While the earliest […]

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 […]
