[Science Solitaire] Make this wish list

On By C86 Team

Learning is a bottomless pit, love is a bottomless pit, and if you’ve really studied, loved, and lived with all your might, you never really tick an item on your list or dig a bucket. You pass it on. Many people have what they call a “wish list” – a list of things that they want to happen to each other in their lifetime. Most of the ones I’ve heard about are places to go. I think it is normal to have a wish list, but I could never understand why it is called a “wish list”. Why do youRead News

Congress invests in the science and technology of the future

On By C86 Team

As the last few days of summer fade away the last few minutes of sunlight, kids refresh their calculators with new batteries for the upcoming school year and teachers return to the classroom to make sure every computer is turned on, ready to go. It’s amazing to think of all the advanced technology that enables everyone to get ahead in life – many of which would have been unimaginable 20 years ago. Without decades of government investment in technology development, the cell phone you hold in your hand today would cost about $10,000 and be the size of a room.Read News

Implementation science helps bring innovation to healthcare

The test of a new team-based way of treating bipolar disorder was by all accounts a very successful research effort. Two studies, one in the Department of Veterans Affairs and one in a large HMO, both found significant improvements in outcomes, at little or no additional cost, with team-based care. By one year after the end of the studies, not one of the 15 sites that had participated in the two trials had incorporated team-based care into their standard workflows. It is neither unusual nor new that evidence-based health interventions disappear without being adopted. The field of implementation science hasRead News

These researchers watched dead fish rot for 70 days—for science

Aurich Lawson/T. Clements et al. Sometimes science can be a negative endeavor – not to mention “disgusting and smelly.” That’s how the British researchers described their study of monitoring the dead bodies of the sea as they decomposed over the course of 70 days. In the process, they discovered fascinating insights into how (and why) organ tissue can be preserved throughout history, according to a new paper published in the journal Palaeontology. Most fossils are bones, shells, teeth, and other types of “hard” material, but sometimes rare fossils are found that preserve soft tissues such as skin, muscles, organs, orRead News

The scientists behind a new database of more than 400 extreme weather studies have done a vital service. This work, bringing together all research of this kind, should encourage a greater sense of urgency around policymaking and campaigning. Intense heatwaves, hurricanes, droughts and floods show that greenhouse gas emissions have become much more likely, which capture the sun’s heat and put more energy into weather systems. And it’s an alarming surprise and determines the extent of the effects of global warming. Until the early 2000s, when the first attribution studies were published, it was more difficult to link atmospheric CO2Read News
