E. Josephine Clowney E. Josephine Clowney, an assistant professor in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, will focus on unraveling how female and male brain development are programmed to allow sex-specific behaviors. Much of the brain is identical between the sexes. The part of the brain that governs innate or hardwired tasks, such as breathing or walking, is identical between male and female organisms. But specific parts of the brain—between 2% and 5% used for sp...

Table of Contents How Asian American and Pacific Island Researchers Are Contributing to the Future of Science People of Asian and Pacific Islander descent number about 24.2 million in the United States today. They make up 13% of the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce, and many play critical roles in global research. Even so, ongoing analyses, including a recent report by the Pew Research Center, show that progress is still needed to achiev...

New Study on Fruit Flies may Lead to Better Autonomous Vehicles Written by AZoRoboticsApr 7 2021 According to a AAA annual survey conducted on autonomous driving, more than 70% of respondents have reported that they are afraid of traveling in a fully autonomous car. The way fruit flies escape heat can inform models for self-driving vehicles. Image Credit: Gallio lab. This means manufacturers, like Tesla, may need to start all over again before they can launch their fully autonomous self-driving...

 E-Mail Credit: Gallio lab With over 70% of respondents to a AAA annual survey on autonomous driving reporting they would fear being in a fully self-driving car, makers like Tesla may be back to the drawing board before rolling out fully autonomous self-driving systems. But new research from Northwestern University shows us we may be better off putting fruit flies behind the wheel instead of robots. Drosophila have been subjects of science as long as humans have been running experiments in lab...
