Climate Change can Impact One-Third of Current Global Food Production Written by AZoCleantechMay 17 2021 Climate change can adversely impact livestock and agriculture, but there is not much scientific understanding of the potential biggest risks and the areas of the planet that are likely to be affected. Areas within and outside Safe Climatic Space for food production 2081-2100. Image Credit: Matti Kummu/Aalto University. Now, a new study headed by Aalto University precisely examines how global food production will be impacted if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced. The study was publish...

Genetic changes in threespine stickleback fish driven by seasonal shifts could help scientist predict how certain species will adapt to new environments.

Researchers discover new binding sites for active agents on cell cytoskeleton Through a unique combination of computer simulations and laboratory experiments, researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have discovered new binding sites for active agents - against cancer, for example - on a vital protein of the cell cytoskeleton. Eleven of the sites hadn't been known before. The study appears today in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition. The protein tubulin is an essential building block of the so-called cell cytoskeleton. In cells, tubulin molecules arrange themselves int...

 E-Mail Children born in December are almost twice as likely to be diagnosed with a learning disorder as those born in January. ADHD was found not to affect the association between month of birth and the likelihood of a learning disability diagnosis. The new, register based study included children born in Finland between 1996 and 2002. Of nearly 400,000 children, 3,000 were diagnosed with a specific learning disorder, for example, in reading, writing or math by the age of ten. "We were familiar with the effects of the relative age to the general school performance, but there were no previous...

Illustration by Mia Feitel Once, in the span of a single conversation, a friend nearly two decades older than I am and I realized we were both running out of time. I clearly was not going to have my life “figured out” by age 25 or 30 or whatever the appropriate marker is.

In both directions, our mutual realization highlighted a line of thought embedded in society: the best parts of our lives, selves, bodies, careers, and iden...
