Its unique characteristics have inspired the minds of scientists who have developed water vapour harvesting technology and even self-filling water bottles modelled off the physical elements of the beetle. The findings have the potential to revolutionise countries suffering from droughts or even a lack of clean, accessible drinking water with the development of fog-harvesting…

I’m very interested in exploring how experiences during infancy results in hippocampal long-lasting changes, which influence adult behavior. Traumatic early life experiences can predispose individuals to psychopathologies, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), borderline personality disorder, addiction, depression and anxiety1-4. Paradoxically, episodic memories formed during infancy are…

Care providers improve wellness among groups of people by focusing on population health. This new paradigm results from health care reforms designed to improve community well-being. While the reforms have successfully initiated revised thinking among care providers, learning institutions must adjust as well. The shift in thinking is not complete, as provider networks have not fully utilized secondary medical services to support population health. Despite this, the new mindset has a profound…

years of human intervention, carbon dioxide concentration levels have nearly doubled. So what is the big deal? Humans still exist, the air is still breathable, and mortality rates have never been higher. Mark Bowen is a physicist from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He wrote his book Thin Ice in 2003 to explain the science of global warming. Bowen was part of the Ice Core Paleoclimatology Research Group lead by Lonnie Thompson, a leading paleoclimatologist, to drill for ice cores in some…
