Researchers have used artificial intelligence to develop a new tool for assessing earthquake damage, a leap that could ultimately help first responders in making critical rescue decisions, suggests a new study.
New studies published in the American Journal of Epidemiology and Epidemiology found that people residing in redlined neighborhoods—neighborhoods that were subjected to the historic practice of mortgage lending discrimination by the federal government—were less likely to conceive than those who lived in neighborhoods the government deemed favorable for mortgage lending.
A pioneering new book led by a Swansea University academic is offering a fresh perspective on dementia by challenging one of the most familiar assumptions about the condition: that memory loss is always the earliest and most defining symptom.
A multiyear NSF study by FAU, the Brookings Institution, Texas State University, and four Robert Noyce partner institutions examined STEM teacher preparation and retention in high-need U.S. schools. Using national data, program surveys, and stakeholder interviews, findings show that Noyce-supported programs help maintain a stable, well-qualified STEM workforce, boost teacher readiness, and reduce vacancies near partner institutions. While some gaps remain, targeted policies and programs are critical for sustaining a resilient STEM teacher pipeline and expanding equitable student access to high-quality STEM education.
Regular social media use across early adolescence is related to worse reading and vocabulary development over time, according to new research from the University of Georgia.
