Life Sciences Florida cat sniffs out another new virus—and scientists are listening Pepper, the pet cat who made headlines last year for his role in the discovery of the first jeilongvirus found in the U.S., is at it again. This time, his hunting prowess contributed to the identification of a new strain of orthoreovirus. John Lednicky, Ph.D., Pepper’s owner and a University of Florida College of Public […] Written by Admin July 13, 2025July 13, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Biology Metabolic Syndrome Links BMI and Depression Trajectories In a groundbreaking cohort study emerging from China, researchers have explored the complex interplay between body mass index (BMI), depressive symptoms, and metabolic syndrome in adults over the age of 45. This investigation not only illuminates the intricate cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between these health parameters but also delves into the mediating influence of metabolic […] Written by Bioengineer July 12, 2025July 12, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Environmental Science Rivers Choose Their Path Based on Erosion—a Discovery That Could Transform Flood Planning – State of the Planet Flood damage in Kerrville, Texas. Photo: World Central Kitchen Adapted from a press release written by Harrison Tasoff for the University of California, Santa Barbara. Rivers are Earth’s arteries. Water, sediment and nutrients self-organize into diverse, dynamic channels as they journey from the mountains to the sea. Some rivers carve out a single pathway, while […] Written by Columbia Climate School July 12, 2025July 12, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Life Sciences Brighter, bolder, hotter: Why female guppies can’t resist orange It turns out color isn’t just fashionable for guppies: According to a new UBC study, the more orange a male, the more virile it is. The research published in Nature Ecology & Evolution shines light on an enduring evolutionary mystery: why male guppies have such vibrant and varied colors and patterns. Virile me up Zoologists […] Written by Admin July 12, 2025July 12, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Biotechnology UK Food Standards Agency accepts Gourmey’s application for cultivated Foie Gras The acceptance by the UK marks a new phase in what is emerging as a closely observed regulatory race. With similar food safety requirements across the EU, the US, Singapore, Switzerland and the UK, the process will provide insights into which regulatory frameworks are most efficient in assessing and approving novel food technologies.

Biology Optogenetic and chemical genetic tools for rapid repositioning of vimentin intermediate filaments Intermediate filaments (IFs) are a key component of the cytoskeleton, essential for regulating cell mechanics, maintaining nuclear integrity, organelle positioning, and modulating cell signaling. Current insights into IF function primarily come from studies using long-term perturbations, such as protein depletion or mutation. Here, we present tools that allow rapid manipulation of vimentin IFs in the […] Written by Admin July 10, 2025July 10, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Environmental Science A tender moment in a troubled industry? Whistleblowers recently shared with me a clip from a fish farm. In it, a worker leans over the side of a boat and gently offers dead fish to a seal eagerly waiting by the sea cage. The seal accepts, almost gratefully. There’s something strangely touching about it – a quiet exchange between human and animal […] Written by brendan July 10, 2025July 10, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Life Sciences What happens when bees can’t buzz right? Nature starts falling apart Ongoing research into the effect of environmental change on the buzzing of bees reveals that high temperatures and exposure to heavy metals reduces the frequency (and audible pitch) of non-flight wing vibrations, which could have consequences on the effectiveness of bee communication and their role as pollinators. “People have been long interested in how insect […] Written by Admin July 10, 2025July 10, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
