Biologist Kathleen McAuliffe dives into new research that suggests certain bacteria in your gut can influence major parts of who you are, from your personality to life-changing neurological disorders. Learn more about how this emerging science could change how we treat disease — and discover the impact of your internal microbial makeup on your mood, weight and more.

The most highly prized of foods, meat has been preserved for generations by the time-honoured ways of fermentation.

Here’s why a healthy balance of microbes is important for astronauts when they travel to Mars and beyond.

Chinook salmon may be revealing that widespread thiamine deficiency could be quietly chiseling away at fish, bird and wildlife populations across the northern hemisphere

Wetlands cover a small portion of the world, but have disproportionate influence on global carbon (C) sequestration, carbon dioxide and methane emissions, and aquatic C fluxes. However, the underlying biogeochemical processes that affect wetland C pools and fluxes are complex and dynamic, making measurements of wetland C challenging. Over decades of research, many observational, experimental, and analytical approaches have been developed to understand and quantify pools and fluxes of wetland C. ...

South Dakota Mines researchers discover microbes that mineralize CO2 from the air into solid rock. Carbon capture and sequestration has been a hot topic in the state for the past year.

Recent research revealed that the amount of red blood cells in the body is correlated with the colour of the urine.

I find it ironic that Thanksgiving coincides with American Diabetes Month. In honor of that irony, two recently published studies have suggested a possible link between what you eat, how it impacts the behavior of the microbes living in your gut, and type II diabetes.
