Providing year-round access to RSV immunization would minimize the risk of large seasonal outbreaks across the nation, including in both urban and rural areas. That’s according to a new study, published in Science Advances and led by Brown University researchers, which examined differences in viral spread in areas with different population density.

The United Nations’ climate change body may unintentionally be eroding public trust in science because of the way it communicates risk, new University of Essex research shows.

The study of more than 4,000 UK residents found language used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) could make the public think scientists are divided and that predictions are extreme or implausible.

If we fail to curb climate change, malaria mosquitoes could significantly expand their habitats across Africa, exposing hundreds of millions of people to a higher risk of infection.

Through the DNA analysis of old air samples collected by the Swedish Armed Forces, researchers at Lund University in Sweden can show that spore dispersal of northern mosses has shifted over the past 35 years. It now starts several weeks earlier, revealing how quickly nature’s calendar can reset in line with a warmer climate.
