1 workshop on March 13 and 14, 2021 to learn more about the possibilities and traps posed by altruism.
Established in February 2020, FHRC is one of Tokyo Tech s newest research centers. It explores the emergence of knowledge in the humanities and social sciences within the spheres of a science and technology-focused university. Just as COVID-19 began to tighten its grip on the world, the center announced its initial research topic rita. The March workshop provided FHRC and its members with their first chance to share with a broader audience their findings from the past year while exchanging opinions with experts from a variety of fields.
YABATECH researchers win Ford Foundation’s $100,000 grant The first grant they won in 2019 was used to develop an institutional policy on sexual harassment and gender-based policy, as well as set up a museum for the college.
The
Yaba College of Technologyin Lagos State has described as laudable, winning of 100,000 USD Ford Foundation grant by three of its researchers/staff members.
A Deputy Registrar of the college, Joe Ejiofor, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Lagos that the fund would further support efforts to develop the institution.
Mr Ejiofor listed the three researchers who jointly wrote a proposal that won the grant to include Dr Adeleke Abiodun of the Department of Chemical Science and Dr Funmilayo Doherty of the Department of Biological Science.

Brown bears that are more inclined to grate and rub against trees have more offspring and more mates, according to a University of Alberta study. The results suggest there might be a fitness component to the poorly understood behaviour. As far as we know, all bears do this dance, rubbing their back up against the trees, stomping the feet and leaving behind odours of who they are, what they are, what position they re in, and possibly whether they are related, said Mark Boyce, an ecologist in the Department of Biological Sciences. What we were able to show is that both males and females have more offspring if they rub, more surviving offspring if they rub and they have more mates if they rub.

Microbiologist brings his photography skills to support a global research effort
Appearing on the cover of a magazine has long been a coveted achievement for fashion models, actors, musicians and other entertainers. As it turns out, scientists like it, too.
Celebrities and fashionistas mark the honor as recognition of their talent or fame (not to mention their ability to sell magazines). For scientists, though, it’s most often about placing their research study on the face of a scientific journal, where it will immediately fall under the inquisitive gaze of their colleagues and peers.
To make the cover, a study needs to be compelling; solid data and a new finding are foremost. But it doesn’t hurt if the research includes visual appeal, as well.

BEER-SHEVA, Israel May 10, 2021 - Researchers from Ben-Gurion University (BGU), together with American and German colleagues, have developed new molecular tweezers to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Their recently announced findings were published in
Cell Chemical Biology.
For years, medical professionals have struggled with bacterial infections becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics. These molecular tweezers may be the key to battling one of greatest public health issues of the 21st century. Our discovery prevents infection without building up antibiotic resistance, and it might even be preferable to develop treatments based on molecular tweezers rather than antibiotics, said BGU Department of Chemistry Prof. Raz Jelinek.
