New science may show why sound can relieve pain

On By C86 Team

August 26, 2022 – Everyone listen: If you’ve ever thought your favorite song made your whole body feel better, new scientific evidence suggests it wasn’t just your imagination. In fact, not only music has an analgesic or pain-relieving effect. Researchers have found that many types of sounds or noises can help – when played at the right volume. Physicians and researchers have known for a long time about the connection between sound and the body. Music therapy has been used for decades to relieve pain after surgery, during labor and childbirth, and during cancer treatment. But why this happens isRead News

As students at College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University take their courses during the 2022-23 academic year, they have a new course to consider: data science. For the past 15 years, the math and computer science departments at Saint Ben’s and Saint John’s have collaborated to offer a degree in numerical computing. The idea was to use math, computer science and a third subject – chemistry or physics, for example – to give students a modern trend in the explosion of data available today and growing in the future. “Data is the new black gold,” said Bob Hesse,Read News

A mound of olivine outcrops on the floor of the Jezero crater, Mars

Why did NASA chose Jezero crater as landing site? The reason scientists chose Jezero crater was to show how water periodically appeared and then disappeared on the Martian surface. Scientists believe the planet has lost its water because the atmosphere has become too thin. Why did they choose Jezero crater as a landing point? When scientists chose Jezero Crater as the landing site for Perseverance, it was precisely because the site bore the hallmarks of an ancient lake. In its northwest corner, a channel leading into the crater ends in a fan-shaped plateau – clear evidence of a river depositingRead News

Were there any humans during the ice age? Did people exist during the Ice Age? Humans were (and still are) certainly alive during the Ice Age. Scientists and anthropologists have found evidence of human life almost 12,000 years ago. The current ice age started about 10,000 years ago. What people lived in the Ice Age? At the beginning of the Ice Age, we weren’t the only hominin around. Fossils of the long-lived Homo erectus and the short-lived Homo floresiensis passed through the islands of Indonesia.

Citizen Sciences and Environmental and Ecological Sciences

On By C86 Team

Abstract Citizen science is an increasingly recognized approach applied in many scientific fields, and especially in the environmental and ecological sciences, in which non-professional participants contribute to the collection of data to advance scientific research. We present participatory citizen science as a valuable method for scientists and practitioners within the environmental and ecological sciences, focusing on the entire life cycle of citizen science practice, from design to implementation, evaluation and data management. We highlight important issues in citizen science and how to address them, such as participant engagement and retention, data quality assurance and bias correction, as well as ethicalRead News

When you abandon facts, you get junk science

In his April 12 letter, Jack DeBaun falsely stated that “Monte Heil… questions whether or not science really proves anything.” It was a false statement because I don’t doubt that real science actually proves things. The beginning of his letter with a false statement leads us to question the veracity of the rest of his letter. What we see in the rest of Jack’s letter is a cult-like attachment to theoretical science. In his version of “science,” nothing is certain or absolute. And here we have to ask, is he absolutely sure of that? I have already proved in aRead News

“Trust science,” says the media. Polls show that few Americans do. There is a good reason for that. “They don’t trust science because science is increasingly unreliable,” says science writer Andrew Follet in my new video. “The only group that trusts science right now are the Democrats.” Sixty-four percent of Democrats have “a lot” of confidence in the scientific community, compared to 34% of Republicans. Of course, true science – using the scientific method – is important. But that’s not much of a “science” these days. Instead, today government science is being misused by progressive politicians.

Investments in outreach can improve diversity and trust in science Northwestern’s Science in Society program promotes mentoring and STEM learning for children from kindergarten through 12th grade. There is a disconnect between the goals and provision of scientific outreach and its actual impact. In recent years, communication about diseases like COVID-19 and a lack of trust in science have made that gap even more apparent. To better understand where these disconnects occur, Northwestern University scientists surveyed 530 graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty and staff at US academic institutions to examine their motivations and barriers to participation in science outreach.

Can science discover absolute truths about reality?

On By C86 Team

In many ways, the human effort of science is the ultimate pursuit of truth. By asking the natural world and the Universe about ourselves, we try to understand what the Universe is like, what are the rules that govern it and how things became what they are today. Science is the full set of knowledge that we gain by observing, measuring, and conducting experiments to test the universe, but it is also the process by which we conduct this research. Maybe it’s easy to see how we gain knowledge from this endeavor, but how do scientists come to the ideaRead News
