“#Place doesn’t trump race as predictor of incarceration” For black Americans—particularly men—growing up in better neighborhoods doesn’t diminish the likelihood of going to prison nearly as much as it does for whites or Latinos, new Cornell research shows. “If you’re a black male in America, it doesn’t matter much if you come from a good…
“#Slow down: Reduced speed limits save lives in busy cities” Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Traffic accidents are the leading cause of non-natural deaths worldwide. Lower speed limits may help prevent accidents. But speed-reduction policies can be controversial and effects are not well documented. A new study from University of Illinois shows that speed reductions in…
“#Research reveals function of genetic pathway for reproductive fitness in flowering plants” Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Small RNAs are key regulators involved in plant growth and development. Two groups of small RNAs are abundant during development of pollen in the anthers—a critical process for reproductive success. A research collaboration has demonstrated the function of a…
“#Study: News reports of education ‘achievement gaps’ may perpetuate stereotypes of Black Americans” Scholars have warned that the framing of racial “achievement gaps” in tests scores, grades, and other education outcomes may perpetuate racial stereotypes and encourage people to explain the gaps as the failure of students and their families rather than as resulting from…
“#Utah’s arches continue to whisper their secrets” Nate Richman, field assistant, sets up a nodal seismometer. Credit: Paul Geimer. Two new studies from University of Utah researchers show what can be learned from a short seismic checkup of natural rock arches and how erosion sculpts some arches—like the iconic Delicate Arch—into shapes that lend added…

“#Free online tool will enable farmers to deliver environmental benefits” Suitability of land for a particular agri-environment option is shown on the E-Planner tool through colour shading, ranging from red being very suitable to dark blue, unsuitable. Credit: UKCEH A free web-based support tool will enable farmers to deliver environmental improvements and potentially attract payments…
“#Soil biology research can help create a more sustainable future” Soil is a natural resource comprised of solids, liquids and gases that is found on the land surface. Credit: Ru. Hartnop, from the Global Soil Biodiversity Atlas Soils are home to more than 25 percent of the earth’s total biodiversity, supporting life on land and…
“#Smallest cavity for light realized by graphene plasmons” Artistic illustration of the light compressed below the silver nanocubes randomly placed over the graphene-based heterostructure. Credit: Matteo Ceccanti Miniaturization has enabled technology like smartphones, health watches, medical probes and nano-satellites, all unthinkable a couple decades ago. Just imagine that in the course of 60 years, the…
“#Simulations reveal interplay between scent marking and disease spread” Credit: CC0 Public Domain In a new mathematical model that bridges animal movement and disease spread, territorial behaviors decreased the severity of potential disease outbreaks—but at the cost of increased disease persistence. Lauren White of the University of Maryland’s National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center, Annapolis, MD, and…
