A research team has now introduced the concept of the photochemical compensation point (PCCP), a novel measure that identifies the light level at which energy used for photosynthesis equals that dissipated non-photochemically.

A research team sheds light on how canopy structure and photosynthetic traits in coniferous forests respond to thinning, drought, and rising temperatures.

Scientists have found that ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) in women is diagnosed approximately 5 years later than in men, despite symptoms appearing at the same age.

Surveying nearly 4,000 single adults across the U.S., Kinsey Institute researchers found approximately a third never received any kind of information about healthy relationships, consent, or communicating with partners during their youth. In school, the most common topics participants reported learning about were reproduction or pregnancy (55%), puberty (44%), STIs (43%), and contraception (41%), while few learned about consent (17%) or healthy relationships (7%) in school. Many participants said that better sex education would have led to healthier romantic relationships (44%), a better understanding of how to be a good partner (40%), improved sexual confidence (40%), and a better quality of life (35%) today.
