Weed Biology and Climate Change
by A. Goldstein in WiSci
Homeowners detest dandelions, and hikers abhor poison ivy. However, as pesky and unwanted as they often are, weeds’ stubborn resilience makes them well worth studying, especially as climate change affects plant life around the world. To find out more, we interviewed Dr. Lewis Ziska and Dr. Jeffrey Dukes, two editors who worked on the recently [...]... Read more »

Curing Cancer with Dwarfism, Down syndrome, and Vegetables
by A. Goldstein in WiSci
With the world abuzz about dwarfism preventing cancer, we wondered: what other sorts of genetic tinkering can, unexpectedly, prevent or cure cancer? Dwarfism Laron syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes dwarfism. Individuals with Laron syndrome possess a mutation on the GHR gene, rendering the gene defective and body insensitive to human growth hormone—hence stunted [...]... Read more »

Stopping HIV in the Macrophage
by A. Goldstein in WiSci
HIV is an elusive virus. Affecting more than 30 million people worldwide, the virus thrives in the human immune system by adapting in a number of ways, which makes effective treatments and an eventual cure exceedingly difficult. However, scientists at the University of Rochester and Emory University recently unveiled one of the mechanisms by which [...]... Read more »

Exercise First, Eat Later
by A. Goldstein in WiSci
They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Video Games Enhance Visual Attention
by A. Goldstein in WiSci
Video games might cause aggressive behavior,1 and they may contribute to childhood obesity,2 but recent research by Daphne Bavelier and her colleagues at the University of Rochester suggests that playing video games can have at least one benefit: they enhance visual attention.

The Vitamin D Controversy

Can Arsenic Replace Phosphorus? One Bacterium Says “Yes”
by A. Goldstein in WiSci
Up until a few days ago, scientists believed that all life forms on Earth were composed of six elements: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and phosphorus. Then, on December 2, 2010, NASA researchers made a discovery that forced scientists everywhere to reconsider this belief: a bacterium that can replace phosphorus with arsenic.1 Typically, arsenic is [...]...

People tend to assume that scientists have only begun to find answers to climate change questions in the last few years. However, the following recording from 1956 offers evidence that climate change has been under scrutiny for over a century.

Fitter Kids = Bigger Brains
by agoldstein in WiSci
Parents take note: if you want your kids to grow bigger brains, think twice about letting schools cut recess or skimp on physical education.
Animal and human studies have long shown that exercise increases neurogenesis, especially in memory- and learning-related areas of the brain. More recently, research on human adolescents has not only confirmed these findings, but highlighted the importance of physical activity for children.... Read more »

Finding the Gene for Migraines

Migraine headaches affect 1 in 6 women and 1 in 12 men, and can be triggered by any number of seemingly innocuous events, from eating cheese, to taking birth control pills, to exercising. In 2009, people worldwide spent $2.6 billion on preventative drugs, trying treatments from beta-blockers to anticonvulsants.1 Yet, despite being considered the most expensive brain disorder in the European Union and United States, the source of migraines has remained elusive . . . until now....
