Science is what we do when we want to understand how things in the universe work. It is a process of discovering facts and developing theories about how things work and interact with each other. Science is not just limited to the physical world, but also includes the study of human behavior and social interactions. We use scientific methods to study everything from the behavior of animals to the effects of various drugs on people. By using the scientific method, we are constantly learning new things about the world around us. Science is important because it allows us to understand our surroundings and make informed decisions about our lives. It helps us to find solutions to problems and make predictions about future events. Without science, we would be living in complete darkness, unaware of the incredible complexities of the universe around us.
Playful Math for the Summer – Denise Gaskins' Let's Play Math
I continue to dig myself out of the avalanche of tasks that built up during the years that I spent mostly down south with my mom as she was weakening. But here are two tidbits of mathy fun that came across my desk recently, which I think you'll enjoy... Numberhive Place Value I think I've…

Disability Across Continents Evolving Policies and Cultural Shifts in Asia and Africa | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Disability research is an interdisciplinary field that examines the social, cultural, historical, and political dimensions of disability. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including disability rights, accessibility, assistive technologies, healthcare, education, employment, and social welfare.
A chance discovery of a 350 million-year-old fossil reveals a new type of ray-finned fish
In 2015, two members of the Blue Beach Fossil Museum in Nova Scotia found a long, curved fossil jaw, bristling with teeth. Sonja Wood, the museum's owner, and Chris Mansky, the museum's curator, found the fossil in a creek after Wood had a hunch.
World-first highly cave-adapted wasp discovered in Nullarbor Caves of Australia
A team of researchers from the University of Adelaide, in collaboration with cavers, has uncovered a large number of eyeless, cave-adapted invertebrates—including spiders, cockroaches, centipedes, and, remarkably, a wasp.
Mammals didn't walk upright until late—here's what fossils reveal | ScienceDaily
The shift from lizard-like sprawl to upright walking in mammals wasn’t a smooth climb up the evolutionary ladder. Instead, it was a messy saga full of unexpected detours. Using new bone-mapping tech, researchers discovered that early mammal ancestors explored wildly different postures before modern upright walking finally emerged—much later than once believed.
Practical tools to advance Image-Based bio-logging in marine ecosystems – Methods Blog
Post provided by Marianna Chimienti My name is Dr Marianna Chimienti, and I am a lecturer in Marine Top Predator Ecology at the School of Ocean Sciences at Bangor University (UK). I’m fascinated by animal movements. My main research focuses on understanding how, where, when, and why animals move, using bio-logging technology (devices attached to…
Thinking Thursday: A Good Teacher – Denise Gaskins' Let's Play Math
Writing to Learn Math: You can spark creative thought by removing any need to worry about spelling or punctuation rules. Do you want your children to develop the ability to reason creatively and figure out things on their own? Help kids practice slowing down and taking the time to fully comprehend a math topic or…
Travels, 10 | Peter Cameron's Blog
Nearly ten years ago, I spent a month in the town of Aveiro, in Portugal. It was a very intense, hard-workking month; with Maria Elisa Fernandes and Dimitri Leemans, I was working towards what we named the ``Aveiro Theorem'', which gave the maximal rank of an abstract regular polytope whose automorphism group is an alternating…
Influence of COVID-19 on pediatric immunocompromised children: mechanism and implications for pathogenesis | Research Communities by Springer Nature
SARS-CoV-2, the third major coronavirus, emerged in 2019, causing a global crisis. COVID-19 is mild in most children but more severe in infants and immunocompromised individuals, who face higher risks and reduced vaccine response.
Building Sustainable Cities in the Metaverse: A Geospatial Revolution in Urban Planning | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Urban planners face unprecedented climate and growth challenges. Our Sustainable Futures study unveils a groundbreaking geospatial-metaverse framework using digital twins, AI analytics, and participatory simulations to build resilient, sustainable cities.
'Shrinking' cod: How humans have altered the genetic make-up of fish
Cod used to be giants. With their impressive size—over a meter in length and weighing up to 40 kilograms—and abundance, they, alongside herring, were the backbone of the Baltic fishery. Today, a fully grown cod would fit neatly on a dinner plate. That is, if fishing them were still permitted: due to the collapse of the stock, a ban on targeted cod fishing has been in place since 2019.
Recommendations for Enabling Research with Pan-European Datasets from the EuroCrops Experience | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Two years after we released EuroCrops as a publicly available dataset and following its wide application, this blogpost highlights the recommendations which might enable future initiatives and help research progress transnationally.
Baby talk may be a human superpower
An almost universal phenomenon in humans is the use of child-directed speech, where caregivers communicate with children, often involving a particular speech style also termed "baby talk." Numerous studies have linked the amount of child-directed speech children hear to better learning outcomes (e.g. vocabulary size or literacy skills). This practice seems to facilitate the acquisition of language. But how did this trait evolve?
Call for papers: Applications of artificial Intelligence in video- and audio-signal processing Collection | Research Communities by Springer Nature
This Collection invites original research in AI applications for audio and video processing, focusing on novel architectures, cross-modal learning, performance optimization, and real-world applications in healthcare, security, broadcasting, and human-computer interaction.
Intersecting Identities, Shared Struggles: Black LGBTQIA+ Voices in the Fight for Health Equity (SDG 3) | Research Communities by Springer Nature
This SDG 3 newsletter blog explores challenges at the intersection of the LGBTQIA+ and Black communities. In our podcast, Chima Mmeje and Tommy Gough share their personal experiences as Black queer individuals, including barriers to healthcare and mental health. The Q&A continues the discussion.
Updated COVID-19 vaccines found effective against severe illness
A new multi-state study led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) VISION Network – including Regenstrief Institute – has provided the most comprehensive assessment to date of the effectiveness of 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines among adults in the U.S. during the XBB and JN.1 Omicron subvariant waves.
Smaller islands offer crucial refuge for endangered mammals in Wallacea, Indonesia
A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that smaller islands within the Wallacea biodiversity hotspot are crucial refuges for endangered vertebrates, providing higher-quality habitats and supporting populations. These findings challenge conventional conservation approaches and emphasize the importance of prioritizing habitat management on these smaller landmasses.
What happens when job candidates face AI instead of humans?
When people know they are being assessed by AI rather than humans, they tend to present themselves as more analytical and less intuitive or emotional. This “AI assessment effect” could shift hiring and admissions decisions, raising new questions for organizations relying on algorithmic evaluation.
Oceanic regions shape the composition of the Antarctic plastisphere | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Plastic pollution has reached the most remote corners of the planet, including Antarctica. Plastics have become mobile homes for diverse microorganisms, creating what scientists refer to as the 'Plastisphere', a phenomenon now found even in the freezing Southern Ocean.
