Introduction Have you ever felt worried about an upcoming exam? Or sad because you didn’t do so well on that exam? It is normal to have these…
In early 2018, my colleagues and I published The next plague and how science will stop it and the coronavirus was there, because there had already been two coronavirus pandemics, SARS and MERS, in this century. No one anticipated that SARS-CoV-2 would break out in Wuhan, China, and be the worst pandemic since the 1950s,…

There are no vacation rentals, boardwalks, or seafood restaurants serving the residents of Shackleford Banks. That’s because the residents are more than 100 wild horses who call the sand dunes of this…

By Vijay Jayaraj What if we celebrated Thanksgiving with a tribute to global warming and the relative abundance of carbon dioxide (CO?2) in our atmosphere? An outrageously outrageous thought, right? Propose that we respect what global elites and their complacent media insist will bring certain doom. Yet this is precisely what sound thinking requires. Just…

A study with IPHES CERCA redefines the role of scavenging in human evolution and demonstrates that it was an efficient strategy that complemented hunting and gathering. A research group from IPHES-CERCA participated in a project led by the National Center for Research on Human Evolution (CENIEH) that revisits how the consumption of carrion marked the…
They are tiny particles, with potentially enormous human consequences. Researchers at Aarhus University have discovered a defect in the way cells form what are known as exosomes, and this defect is associated with a mutation found in some people living with dementia. The discovery may offer new insights into how Alzheimer’s develops and potentially point…
Solar flares, one of the most intense explosive phenomena in the solar atmosphere, release large amounts of energy in a short period, resulting in increased electromagnetic radiation in multiple bands. These events pose significant threats to Earth’s space environment and human activities in space. High-energy electrons accelerated during flares emit millimeter-wave radiation via gyrosynchrotron radiation,…
Archaeologists in France have discovered a Roman period cremation tomb richly furnished with silver coins, gold jewelry and a ring with the inscription of what is probably the surname of the deceased. The tomb was unexpectedly found during excavations at a medieval settlement in Lamonzie-Saint-Martin, a small town in southwestern France. As archaeologists excavated beneath…
