The more general question: can we sense the shape of a rigid object such as a cloud of atomic centers representing a molecule?</p> Wed, 16 Oct 2024 14:12:04 +0000 admin 5302 at /biology /biology/channels/event/experience-shinrin-yoku-forest-bathing-morgan-arboretum-360463 <p>Join guide Jacky Farrell (<a href="/science/outreach">91˿����Ƶ Science Outreach</a>), for a bilingual Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing) walk in the Morgan Arboretum.</p> Tue, 15 Oct 2024 21:11:21 +0000 admin 5300 at /biology /biology/channels/news/soup-science-event-opens-research-opportunities-undergraduate-students-360449 <p><span><span><span>Twenty-two speakers <span><span><span>from the faculties of Arts, Science and Engineering <span><span><span>presented their research in “lightning talks” <span><span><span>to <span><span><span>more than 480 undergraduate <span><span><span>students <span><span><span>at <span><span><span>Soup <span><span><span>&<span><span><span> Science, <span><span><span>a <span><span><span>biannual event.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> Tue, 15 Oct 2024 18:48:23 +0000 admin 5299 at /biology /biology/channels/event/full-experience-shinrin-yoku-forest-bathing-gault-nature-reserve-360306 &������;����;��&������;����;��&������;����;/��&������;����; Thu, 10 Oct 2024 19:36:12 +0000 admin 5296 at /biology /biology/channels/news/experts-2024-state-climate-report-360252 <p>A <a href="https://academic.oup.com/bioscience/advance-article/doi/10.1093/biosci/biae087/7808595?searchresult=1" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">new report</a> by some of the world’s top climate scientists examines key indicators and finds that the world is “on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster.” The authors found that 25 out of 35 indicators used to track the planet's climate risk, from ocean temperatures to tree-cover loss, are at record levels.</p> Tue, 08 Oct 2024 16:32:05 +0000 admin 5292 at /biology /biology/channels/news/new-global-database-dams-and-reservoirs-could-transform-water-management-360232 <p>A groundbreaking <a href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-024-03752-9">database</a> developed by the Global Dam Watch  (GDW) consortium is set to transform the global understanding of dams and reservoirs. </p> <p>Co-ordinated and led by members of a research lab at 91˿����Ƶ, with funding from World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the World Bank, the database integrates existing global datasets to provide the most comprehensive resource for large-scale analyses to date.</p> Tue, 08 Oct 2024 12:35:35 +0000 admin 5289 at /biology /biology/channels/news/when-we-cannot-hear-our-own-speech-even-temporarily-ability-speak-impaired-mcgill-study-360174 <p>A 91˿����Ƶ study has shown that hearing plays a crucial role in how people coordinate and control speech movements in real-time.</p> <p>Published in the <i>Journal of the Acoustical Society of America</i> (JASA), the research shows that when people cannot hear their own speech, even briefly, their ability to move their jaw and tongue in a coordinated manner is impaired.</p> Fri, 04 Oct 2024 12:50:35 +0000 admin 5283 at /biology
