Mashup Score: 0UNC Charlotte bioinformatics professor discovers surprising evolutionary pattern in landmark yeast study - 4 hour(s) ago
University of North Carolina at Charlotte assistant professor of bioinformatics Abigail Leavitt LaBella has co-led an ambitious research study — published this week in widely influential journal “Science” — that reportsnot only shares intriguing findings made through innovative artificial intelligence analysis about yeasts – small fungi that are key contributors to biotechnology, food production, and human health. These findings simple yeast organisms that challenge widely accepted ideas about yeast evolution, but also provides access to an incredibly rich yeast analysis dataset that could have major implications for future evolutionary biology and bioinformatics research for years to come.

Mashup Score: 4Curiosity promotes biodiversity - 1 day(s) ago
Cichlid fishes exhibit differing degrees of curiosity. The cause for this lies in their genes, as reported by researchers from the University of Basel in the journal Science. This trait influences the cichlids’ ability to adapt to new habitats.

Mashup Score: 9First-of-its-kind study definitively shows that conservation actions are effective at halting and reversing biodiversity loss - 2 day(s) ago
A new study published online today, April 25, in the scientific journal Science provides the strongest evidence to date that not only is nature conservation successful, but that scaling conservation interventions up would be transformational for halting and reversing biodiversity loss—a crisis that can lead to ecosystem collapses and a planet less able to support life—and reducing the effects of climate change.

Mashup Score: 3The power of the arts for social inclusion and diversity: Changing society through creative expression - 2 day(s) ago
Professor Mia Nakamura is an expert in Cultural Policy and Arts Management, with a dedication for exploring how the arts can help people. She has actively participated in art activities with sexual and gender minority communities in Tokyo, focused on recovery after the Great East Japan Earthquake, and organized workshops for people with dementia. Through art activities, she attempts to articulate the transformative power of the arts in healing and promoting social inclusion.

Geologists uncovered ancient rocks in Greenland that bear the oldest remnants of Earth’s early magnetic field. The results potentially extend the age of the Earth’s magnetic field by hundreds of millions of years, and may shed light on the planet’s early conditions that helped life take hold.

A thin film that combines an electrode grid and LEDs can both track and produce a visual representation of the brain’s activity in real-time during surgery–a huge improvement over the current state of the art. The device is designed to provide neurosurgeons visual information about a patient’s brain to monitor brain states during surgical interventions to remove brain lesions including tumors and epileptic tissue.

Warming temperatures are causing a steady rise in copper, zinc and sulfate in the waters of Colorado mountain streams affected by acid rock drainage. Concentrations of these metals have roughly doubled in these alpine streams over the past 30 years, presenting a concern for ecosystems, downstream water quality and mining remediation, according to a new study in AGU’s journal Water Resources Research. Natural chemical weathering of bedrock is the source of the rising acidity and metals, but the ultimate driver of the trend is climate change, the report found, and the results point to lower stream volumes and exposure of rock once sealed away by ice as the likely causes.
