A tiny worm discovered in the Great Salt Lake could help scientists better understand the origins and resilience of life in extreme environments. Its story remains largely a mystery. The Great Salt Lake is famous for brine shrimp, brine flies, and water so salty that few animals can survive in it. Now scientists have added […]

Parents in rural, low-income households who maintained strong family routines reported fewer behavior problems and ADHD symptoms in their children. Starting elementary school is an important step for children, but the shift can be challenging. Some children experience separation anxiety, while others have difficulty adjusting to classroom rules and daily school structure. A Penn State-led […]

Scientists have discovered that the brain’s sensory systems play a much larger role in speech learning than previously believed. New research suggests that learning to speak a new language, or recovering speech after injury, relies more heavily on the brain’s sensory systems than on regions responsible for controlling movement. The findings, from researchers at McGill […]

A newly described fossil goose shows that New Zealand’s bird history involved repeated arrivals, extinctions, and rapid island evolution. A rare fossil goose found in the remains of an ancient lake in Central Otago is changing how scientists understand the bird history of Aotearoa New Zealand, according to a researcher at the University of Otago […]

A newly discovered tiny blue octopus from the Galápagos is a striking reminder that the deep ocean still holds countless secrets. The Galápagos Islands, located off the coast of Ecuador, are famous for their remarkable wildlife. More than a thousand species of plants and animals found there exist nowhere else on Earth, including giant tortoises […]

Researchers have demonstrated a promising new approach to stopping pancreatic cancer before it starts, using experimental drugs to eliminate microscopic precancerous lesions in the pancreas. A new preclinical study in mice suggests that precancerous pancreatic cells can be removed before they progress into tumors. An experimental treatment aimed at microscopic precancerous lesions in the pancreas […]
