- [Dr. Leonie Brummer | Digital Awareness: The Missing Piece of Online Life](https://scitube.io/dr-leonie-brummer-digital-awareness-the-missing-piece-of-online-life/) - Most of us use digital technology every day – for work, shopping, socialising, and keeping up with the news. But how many of us really stop to think about what we’re doing online, why we’re doing it, and what the consequences might be? That’s the question at the heart of new research by researcher Leonie Brummer at Utrecht University, who argues that being truly at home in the digital world requires something deeper than skills alone.
- [Dr Brent Iverson | Why a Key COVID-19 Antiviral Is Still Working After Years of Use](https://scitube.io/dr-brent-iverson-why-a-key-covid-19-antiviral-is-still-working-after-years-of-use/) - When antiviral drugs are widely used, resistance usually follows. Viruses mutate, treatments lose strength, and scientists scramble to adapt. That pattern has been seen with influenza, HIV, and many other infections. When the anti-viral drug Paxlovid was rolled out globally to treat COVID-19, many experts expected that the virus would eventually evolve ways to evade it. But several years on, meaningful resistance has not taken hold. In two closely connected studies, Dr Brent Iverson and colleagues set out to understand why. Their findings suggest that the virus may be more constrained than many had assumed – and that those constraints are helping Paxlovid remain effective.
- [Dr. Jamie Rausch | Exploring How Fat Tissue Shapes Health Across a Lifetime](https://scitube.io/dr-jamie-rausch-exploring-how-fat-tissue-shapes-health-across-a-lifetime/) - For decades, fat tissue was treated as little more than the body’s storage cupboard – a place where excess calories were tucked away for later use. But research from Dr. Jamie Rausch, Assistant Professor of Nursing at Indiana University, is helping to overturn that simplistic view. Fat, or adipose tissue, is now understood to be one of the body’s most active and influential biological systems, constantly sending chemical signals that shape metabolism, inflammation, and long-term health.
- [Dr. Lillian Xu - Dr. Seth D. Pollak | Playing It Safe: How Parental Unpredictability Shapes Children’s Willingness to Learn](https://scitube.io/dr-lillian-xu-dr-seth-d-pollak-playing-it-safe-how-parental-unpredictability-shapes-childrens-willingness-to-learn/) - The idea that children learn best when they feel secure may seem obvious, but new research from the University of Wisconsin–Madison shows just how deeply a child’s trust in their parents shapes their willingness to explore. Led by Lillian Xu and Seth Pollak, the study reveals that children who feel their parents are less reliable explore less – even when exploring is vital to learning and personal growth.
- [Dr Ayesha Mueller-Wolfertshofer | Learning from the ‘Slum’: The Sustainable City Hidden in Plain Sight](https://scitube.io/ayesha-mueller-wolfertshofer-learning-from-the-slum-the-sustainable-city-hidden-in-plain-sight/) - What comes to mind when you think of informal settlements, or so-called ‘slums’? Portrayed negatively in public discourse, governments demolish them to make way for formal housing projects. However, research by Ayesha Mueller-Wolfertshofer at TUM suggests these settlements are actually models of sustainable urban development that should be recognised and supported. Her research focuses on Dharavi, one of the world’s most well-known informal settlements, located in the heart of Mumbai, India.
- [Dr. Deon Brown | Understanding How African Americans Navigate Emotional Expression](https://scitube.io/dr-deon-brown-understanding-how-african-americans-navigate-emotional-expression/) - Human emotions are universal. But how freely people express them – and to whom – is shaped by culture, history, and lived experience. For African Americans, that shaping has a particular weight: centuries of racism and oppression have made emotional expression not just a personal matter, but a protective and sometimes strategic one. Understanding how Black Americans navigate this reality is not only a matter of psychological interest – it has real implications for mental health, education, and family life. This is the territory explored by Dr. Deon Brown and his colleagues at the University of Houston, Virginia Commonwealth University, American Jewish University, and Michigan State University.
- [Dr Lidia-Maria Mondoc | Revealing the Hidden Link Between Anemia and Blood Cancer Survival Rates](https://scitube.io/dr-lidia-maria-mondoc-revealing-the-hidden-link-between-anemia-and-blood-cancer-survival-rates/) - A simple, inexpensive blood test taken at the moment of diagnosis could help predict how long a patient with blood cancer will survive – and potentially open the door to treatments that improve their chances. That is one of the key findings from a study led by Dr Lidia-Maria Mondoc and her colleagues at Lucian Blaga University and the Sibiu County Emergency Clinical Hospital in Romania.
- [Prof. Christian Bär - Dr. Shambhabi Chatterjee | Rewinding the Clock on Lung Disease: A Potential New RNA Therapy for Pulmonary Fibrosis](https://scitube.io/prof-christian-bar-dr-shambhabi-chatterjee-rewinding-the-clock-on-lung-disease-a-potential-new-rna-therapy-for-pulmonary-fibrosis/) - Pulmonary fibrosis is a devastating disease in which lung tissue becomes scarred and stiff, making it harder to breathe. The outlook for patients remains poor, with many surviving only a few years after diagnosis. Current treatments can slow the damage, but they cannot reverse it. New research by the team of Prof. Christian Bär and Dr. Shambhabi Chatterjee of Hannover Medical School and their colleagues explore a promising alternative – one that works at the level of our cells’ biological ‘aging clock’.
- [Professor Robert F. Slesinski | What Does It Mean for Everything to Be One? Revisiting a Russian Philosophical Tradition](https://scitube.io/professor-robert-f-slesinski-what-does-it-mean-for-everything-to-be-one-revisiting-a-russian-philosophical-tradition/) - What if love is not merely an emotion, but the very fabric of existence itself? That is the arresting question at the heart of a new paper by Robert Slesinski, a researcher working in the tradition of Russian Orthodox thought. Drawing on a rich lineage of thinkers stretching from the nineteenth century to the twentieth, Slesinski traces the development of a remarkable idea: that all of reality forms a single, interconnected unity – and that this unity, at its deepest level, is nothing other than love.
- [Dr Nicholas Nicholson | Why Data Needs Context and How to Achieve it in Practice](https://scitube.io/dr-nicholas-nicholson-why-data-needs-context-and-how-to-achieve-it-in-practice/) - Data are a key driver in the modern era. Combining data from different domains brings new insights and adds further dimensions to scientific research, but data on their own rarely explain themselves. Without context, data are not meaningful and can lead to erroneous conclusions. Making sense of data is at the heart of recent research led by Dr Nicholas Nicholson at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre and Dr Iztok Štotl at the University of Ljubljana, to build a standardised data-contextualisation framework called SOLICIT.
- [What is SciTube?

- [Dr Pilar Garcia-Jimenez - Dr Rafael Robaina | How Jumping Genes Help Seaweeds Survive Climate Stress](https://scitube.io/dr-pilar-garcia-jimenez-dr-rafael-robaina-how-jumping-genes-help-seaweeds-survive-climate-stress/) - Seaweeds play a vital role in coastal ecosystems, providing food, habitat, and carbon storage. As oceans warm and conditions become more unpredictable due to climate change, understanding how seaweeds cope with stress is increasingly important. Research by Pilar Garcia-Jimenez and Rafael Robaina at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria points to an unexpected source of resilience hidden in seaweed DNA.
- [Dr James Kaduk | Mapping a Cancer Drug’s Structure Towards Better Drug Development](https://scitube.io/dr-james-kaduk-mapping-a-cancer-drugs-structure-towards-better-drug-development/) - Repotrectinib, sold under the brand name Augtyro, is a targeted therapy approved for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Specifically, it blocks a mutated protein called ROS1, which in some patients drives uncontrolled cell growth. It is the kind of precision medicine that has transformed outcomes for certain cancer patients in recent years. Yet until now, the structure of the drug in its pure form had never been reported. That gap has been filled by Dr James Kaduk and colleagues at the International Centre for Diffraction Data.
- [IAPB – Seeds of Innovation: The Science Driving Sustainable Agriculture](https://scitube.io/iapb-seeds-of-innovation-the-science-driving-sustainable-agriculture/) - Since its beginnings in 1963 as the International Association for Plant Tissue Culture, the International Association for Plant Biotechnology (IAPB) has helped shape the field of modern plant science. The IAPB brings together researchers and innovators from around the world. A major upcoming event is the IAPB 2026 Congress, taking place in Saskatoon, Canada, from July 26–30. Led by Dr. Pankaj Bhowmik, the organization’s 16th President, the Congress will welcome over 300 participants from more than 30 countries.
- [Professor Daniel S Levine | Why Reason Needs Emotion: Uncovering the Science Behind Better Decisions](https://scitube.io/professor-daniel-s-levine-why-reason-needs-emotion-uncovering-the-science-behind-better-decisions/) - For centuries, we’ve been told a story about ourselves: that reason is noble and emotion is messy; that to think clearly, you need to keep your feelings firmly under control. It’s a story that has shaped science, politics, economics, and culture. But what if it’s simply wrong? That’s the central argument of psychologist and neuroscientist Daniel Levine from the University of Texas at Arlington in his book: Healing the Reason-Emotion Split.
- [Rob Onyenwoke | How Vaping Can Make Your Lungs More Vulnerable to Infection](https://scitube.io/rob-onyenwoke-how-vaping-can-make-your-lungs-more-vulnerable-to-infection/) - Electronic cigarettes have been marketed as a safer alternative to traditional tobacco, but a growing body of research is painting a more troubling picture. Two studies from North Carolina Central University, conducted by Rob Onyenwoke and colleagues, suggest that vaping doesn’t just harm the lungs on its own – it may also make them far more vulnerable when infection strikes.
- [Lena Queen | Why Supporting Healthcare Staff Is the Key to LGBTQIA+ Health Equity](https://scitube.io/lena-queen-why-supporting-healthcare-staff-is-the-key-to-lgbtqia-health-equity/) - When we talk about improving healthcare for LGBTQIA+ communities, the conversation usually focuses on policy, training, and access to services. But Mx. Lena Queen, a therapist and wellness educator with over 23 years of experience, argues that we are missing a critical piece of the puzzle: the emotional and mental wellbeing of the providers themselves. In their recent paper, Queen makes the case that healthcare providers cannot genuinely support LGBTQIA+ patients if they are burnt out, exhausted, or working within systems that ignore their own needs.
- [The NTLGroup Cognitive Systems Platform: From Cognitive Recovery to Real-World Performance](https://scitube.io/the-ntlgroup-cognitive-systems-platform-from-cognitive-recovery-to-real-world-performance/) - What if the problem is not whether someone has ability… but whether they can reliably access that ability when it matters? Traditional models tend to separate cognitive recovery from performance enhancement. But many people fall in between. They may function well at baseline, yet lose consistency under stress, fatigue, or increasing demand. NTLGroup developed the Cognitive Systems Platform to close this gap. Rather than training isolated skills, the platform focuses on the underlying system conditions that make reliable cognition possible: coordination, stability, efficiency, regulation, and access.
- [Jila Ghomeshi | How Canadian Weather Forecasts Are Challenging Grammar Rules](https://scitube.io/jila-ghomeshi-how-canadian-weather-forecasts-are-challenging-grammar-rules/) - Weather forecasts seem straightforward – temperatures, clouds, maybe a bit of rain. But the language used to describe the weather can reveal surprising quirks about how English works. A recent linguistic study takes a closer look at an unusual pattern heard in Canadian radio forecasts and shows that even familiar phrases like “we are five degrees” can challenge long-held assumptions about grammar.
- [Is SciTube Predatory? No. SciTube is a Paid Science Communication Platform](https://scitube.io/is-scitube-a-paid-science-communication-service/) - SciTube is a paid science communication platform that produces, publishes and disseminates research animations. For researchers asking whether SciTube is predatory, this page explains what SciTube is, what it is not, why there is a cost, and how the process works.
- [Dr Ludwig Huber | How Dogs Remember Your Perspective, to Steal Without Getting Caught](https://scitube.io/dr-ludwig-huber-how-dogs-remember-your-perspective-to-steal-without-getting-caught/) - What goes through a dog’s mind when your back is turned? According to new research from the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna, the answer might surprise you. A study led by cognitive scientist Ludwig Huber suggests that dogs are capable of something remarkably sophisticated: anticipating what a person can see, even when that person is nowhere in sight.
- [Dr. Xiaolei Zhu - Dr. Barbara Slusher | A New Approach to Depression Treatment Targets Brain Immune Cells](https://scitube.io/dr-xiaolei-zhu-dr-barbara-slusher-a-new-approach-to-depression-treatment-targets-brain-immune-cells/) - Depression affects nearly one in five Americans at some point in their lives. Sadly, for roughly a third of patients, standard antidepressants simply don’t work. Now, researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine believe they may have found a promising new path forward – one that targets the brain’s own immune cells. Dr. Xiaolei Zhu, Dr. Barbara Slusher, and their colleagues have been investigating why the brain’s resident immune cells, called microglia, appear to go into overdrive in people with major depressive disorder.
- [Project 1444](https://scitube.io/project-1444/) - Before there were borders… before conquest rewrote the maps… there was Africa – the birthplace of humanity. Cradle of civilizations, technologies, philosophies, and sacred traditions that shaped the ancient world. Yet too often, Africa’s story is forced to begin in bondage – with loss, rupture, and the European Slave Trade.
- [Dr Vedrana Bali - Dr Vladimir Grubišić | How Enteric Glia Shape Health and Disease](https://scitube.io/dr-vedrana-bali-dr-vladimir-grubisic-how-enteric-glia-shape-health-and-disease/) - The human gut is more than a long tube for digesting food – it is one of our body’s largest and busiest borders, constantly deciding what may enter and what must stay out. Most of these decisions are made by a nervous system embedded within the gut wall, often called ‘the brain in the gut’, and supported by the local immune system. When this border becomes too permeable, often described as a ‘leaky gut’, problems can arise throughout the body. Researchers Vedrana Bali and Vladimir Grubišić, at the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine, argue that this leaky-gut phenomenon may cause far more than stomach troubles.
- [Dr Yevgenia Chvertko | Welding Art: The Ukrainian Researchers Joining Steel and Sculpture](https://scitube.io/dr-yevgenia-chvertko-welding-art-the-ukrainian-researchers-joining-steel-and-sculpture/) - When Ukrainian sculptor Serhii Minakov set out to create ‘Into the Future’ – a towering steel artwork featuring a young man and woman inside a globe – he ran into a problem familiar to anyone who has tried to weld complex sculptures: how do you make a strong, clean joint when you can only reach it from one side?
- [Professor Stefan Pierzynowski - Professor Kateryna Pierzynowska | Cracking the Code on How Our Bodies Absorb Protein](https://scitube.io/professor-stefan-pierzynowski-professor-kateryna-pierzynowska-cracking-the-code-on-how-our-bodies-absorb-protein/) - When you eat a steak or a protein shake, what actually ends up in your bloodstream? It turns out the answer is surprisingly little-understood – until now. Professors Stefan Pierzynowski and Kateryna Pierzynowska of Lund University, also affiliated with the Institute of Rural Medicine, Lublin, and The Kielanowski Institute of Animal Physiology and Nutrition, have developed a clever new approach to answer this question. Their work has important implications for how doctors treat digestive diseases and how to evaluate dietary proteins’ quality and bioavailability.
- [Dr Michael L. Walker | The Hidden Energy Battle Inside Every Quantum Measurement](https://scitube.io/dr-michael-l-walker-the-hidden-energy-battle-inside-every-quantum-measurement/) - In the strange world of quantum mechanics, tiny particles can exist in several states at once. Yet when we measure them, we always get one clear result. This strange jump from “many possibilities” to “one outcome” is known as wavefunction collapse, and it has puzzled physicists for a century. In his paper On the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Measurement, physicist Michael Walker offers a surprisingly simple explanation for how this collapse might naturally happen, without adding new physics or weird assumptions.
- [Dr. Colin Meyer | Cutting through Ice to Understand the Behavior of Glaciers](https://scitube.io/dr-colin-meyer-cutting-through-ice-to-understand-the-behavior-of-glaciers/) - Imagine cutting through a stick of butter – you end up with two smaller sticks of butter. Now, try cutting through a block of ice. Under the right conditions, surprisingly, you don’t get two separate pieces. Instead, the ice magically fuses back together, remaining as a single block. This fascinating phenomenon is called regelation. Simply put, regelation happens when pressure causes ice to melt into a thin layer of water, which flows and then refreezes once the pressure is removed.
- [Hope Walks: Early Clubfoot Treatment Transforms Children’s Lives](https://scitube.io/hope-walks-early-clubfoot-treatment-transforms-childrens-lives/) - In many low- and middle-income countries, children born with physical disabilities face lifelong barriers that limit their ability to learn, play, and participate in their communities. One such condition is clubfoot, a congenital deformity that twists a baby’s feet downward and inward. While it is routinely corrected in wealthier nations, lack of access to treatment in poorer regions often leaves children disabled for life. In research funded by the University of Notre Dame, Bruce Wydick, Gianna Camacho, and Patrizio Piraino reveal how early, affordable treatment for clubfoot can transform not only a child’s mobility but nearly every aspect of their well-being.
- [What Good Looks Like on YouTube (And Why Most Research Videos Fall Short)](https://scitube.io/what-good-looks-like-on-youtube/) - We analysed YouTube performance across major science communication platforms to understand what “good” actually looks like. The reality is stark: most research videos are barely watched, and YouTube remains massively underutilised. Here’s what the data reveals — and where the real opportunity lies.
- [Higher Performing Steel and Sections for a Modern Energy Grid](https://scitube.io/higher-performing-steel-and-sections-for-a-modern-energy-grid/) - As climate change accelerates and our demand for electricity increases, our existing electricity networks will need to be fundamentally restructured. Steel pylons are a vital part of the electricity grid – supporting the transmission lines that carry electricity from energy sources to local distribution networks. Traditionally, these pylons are made from a steel grade S355, which has a steel strength of 355 MPa.
- [The LiverRisk score: a simple method to assess the presence of fibrosis (scars) within the liver](https://scitube.io/the-liverrisk-score-a-simple-method-to-assess-the-presence-of-fibrosis-scars-within-the-liver/) - Liver disease, often dubbed a “silent killer,” poses a major global health threat, progressing unnoticed until reaching life-threatening stages such as cirrhosis or liver cancer. Early detection has long been a challenge, as symptoms usually appear when liver damage is severe. The LiverScreen Consortium’s development of the LiverRisk score marks a transformative advancement in the detection and management of liver disease, offering hope for more timely interventions and improved health outcomes.
- [Dr. Khuthala Mabetha | How Social Support Shapes Pregnancy for Young Women in South Africa](https://scitube.io/dr-khuthala-mabetha-how-social-support-shapes-pregnancy-for-young-women-in-south-africa/) - Pregnancy can be a time of excitement and hope, but it can also bring uncertainty, stress and emotional upheaval, especially for young women navigating major life changes. A study led by Dr. Khuthala Mabetha and colleagues sheds light on how social support shapes the pregnancy experiences of young women in Soweto, South Africa, revealing just how powerful everyday relationships can be during this pivotal period.
- [Dr Susanna Bairoh | Equal Degrees, Unequal Incomes: New Evidence from Finland’s STEM Workforce](https://scitube.io/dr-susanna-bairoh-equal-degrees-unequal-incomes-new-evidence-from-finlands-stem-workforce/) - Even in countries celebrated for gender equality, women still earn less than men – and moving into science and technology does not magically solve the problem. New research by Susanna Bairoh, Satu Pyöriä and Niklas Mäkinen takes a close look at this puzzle by following the incomes of women and men working in STEM fields in Finland, a Nordic welfare state often seen as a global role model for equality. Drawing on exceptionally rich national register data, the study asks a deceptively simple question: if women and men have the same level of education, work in the same broad fields, and live in a country with strong family policies, do their incomes finally converge?
- [Dr Sriram Iyengar | Resilience Informatics](https://scitube.io/dr-sriram-iyengar-resilience-informatics/) - Pandemics! Heatwaves! Floods! Droughts! We live in an age of overlapping crises. Climate change is intensifying. Acute, short-term stressors and chronic, long-term stressors damage physical and mental health. Such stressors are not going away. We need to develop resilience to these stressors. But what IS resilience?

- [Assistant Professor Ligeia Quackelbeen | How do Judges categorize conduct as a crime in International Criminal Law and what roles does culture play?](https://scitube.io/assistant-professor-ligeia-quackelbeen-how-do-judges-categorize-conduct-as-a-crime-in-international-criminal-law-and-what-roles-does-culture-play/) - How do judges decide what counts as a crime and which crime? Take marriage. In some cultures, it's defined by family consent or monogamy. In others, by religion or ritual. What if judges must fit these diverse practices into fixed legal categories? Research by Assistant Professor Ligeia Quackelbeen of Tilburg University examines this, focusing on the International Criminal Court’s landmark 2021 Ongwen judgment.
- [Marc de la Roche - Maike de la Roche | A New Route to Precision Cancer Immunotherapy](https://scitube.io/marc-de-la-roche-maike-de-la-roche-a-new-route-to-precision-cancer-immunotherapy/) - Cancer treatments are increasingly moving beyond one-size-fits-all approaches, and new research led by Marc de la Roche and Maike de la Roche shows how a single biological target could open the door to multiple, more precise immunotherapies. The work focuses on LGR5, a protein found at unusually high levels on the surface of certain cancer cells, including colorectal cancer, liver cancer, and a form of leukaemia.
- [The Power of Storytelling in Science Communication](https://scitube.io/the-power-of-storytelling-in-science-communication/) - Dense research papers often alienate non‑experts.

- [Dr Fatema Alali | How Ring-Shaped Gold Nanoparticles Could Revolutionise Cancer Treatment](https://scitube.io/dr-fatema-alali-how-ring-shaped-gold-nanoparticles-could-revolutionise-cancer-treatment/) - Nanoparticles may be tiny, but their potential impact on medicine is enormous. In a new study, researcher Fatema Alali explores how carefully designed gold nanoparticles could make light-based cancer treatments safer, more precise, and more reliable. Her research focuses on how the shape of these particles controls the way they absorb light and turn it into heat – a key process in photothermal therapy.
- [Dr. Francisco Pelegri - Dr. Ryan Trevena | What Hybrid Fish Reveal About Boundaries in Evolution](https://scitube.io/dr-francisco-pelegri-dr-ryan-trevena-what-hybrid-fish-reveal-about-boundaries-in-evolution/) - Why can some animals from different species mate and produce healthy offspring, while others can’t? Closely related species can sometimes reproduce, but the further apart they are on the evolutionary tree, the more likely their hybrid offspring will struggle to survive. These genetic barriers are key to understanding how new species arise, but scientists are still piecing together when and why they appear. To explore this, Francisco Pelegri, Ryan Trevena and their colleagues at the University of Wisconsin–Madison turned to zebrafish and related species.
- [Dr. Missy Thompson | Uncovering the Science Behind Elite Ice Climbing](https://scitube.io/dr-missy-thompson-uncovering-the-science-behind-elite-ice-climbing/) - Ice climbing is one of the most dramatic winter sports, with athletes swinging axes into frozen walls and hauling themselves skyward on vertical sheets of ice. But behind the spectacle lies a science of movement, endurance and strength that is only starting to be explored. Research led by Dr. Missy Thompson at Fort Lewis College takes a close look at the biomechanics of elite ice climbers, revealing what separates top performers from the rest.
- [Dr. Mark Greenwald | The NET Device™: A New Tool to Help People Recover from Opioid Addiction](https://scitube.io/dr-mark-greenwald-the-net-device-a-new-tool-to-help-people-recover-from-opioid-addiction/) - For people trying to stop using opioids, the most dangerous point in recovery often comes right at the start. Withdrawal can arrive quickly and fiercely, bringing physical pain, severe anxiety, sleeplessness, and intense cravings. Even when someone is deeply motivated to quit, these symptoms can overwhelm their resolve and lead them back to use. New research led by Dr. Mark Greenwald at Wayne State University is investigating a novel way to ease this early hurdle.
- [Dr Aminath Sudha | Beyond the Pay Rise: Rethinking Motivation in Public Service](https://scitube.io/dr-aminath-sudha-beyond-the-pay-rise-rethinking-motivation-in-public-service/) - When governments want public services to run better, one common solution is simple: pay people more. But new research led by Dr Aminath Sudha suggests the reality is far more complicated. Her study of civil servants in the Maldives offers a timely reminder that motivation in public service doesn’t always follow private-sector logic.
- [Dr. Bruce Lahn | Cracking the Code of How Cells Choose Their Fates](https://scitube.io/dr-bruce-lahn-cracking-the-code-of-how-cells-choose-their-fates/) - How does a single fertilized egg produce the hundreds of cell types that make up the body – from neurons and skin cells to muscle and blood? This question has long been one of biology’s great mysteries. Dr. Bruce Lahn and his team at the University of Chicago believe they have uncovered a fundamental mechanism behind this process, which could reshape how scientists think about development and cellular identity.
- [Professor Magnus S. Magnusson | The Surprising Similarities Between Human Cells and Societies](https://scitube.io/professor-magnus-s-magnusson-the-surprising-similarities-between-human-cells-and-societies/) - For most of history, humans lived in small groups. Then, almost overnight in evolutionary terms, billions of us began cooperating in vast, complex societies, something unmatched in the animal kingdom. How did this happen? Professor Magnus S. Magnusson of the University of Iceland believes the answer lies in an unexpected place: inside our cells. His research shows striking parallels between the way that DNA segments (called genes), form specialized proteins, and the way that text segments, called curricula, form specialized individuals.
- [Dr Andrea Haefner | How Civil Society Groups Are Speaking Up for the Mekong River](https://scitube.io/dr-andrea-haefner-how-civil-society-groups-are-speaking-up-for-the-mekong-river/) - The Mekong River is one of Southeast Asia’s great lifelines, supporting more than 65 million people and sustaining extraordinary biodiversity. Yet it is also a river under immense pressure, as countries along its banks pursue rapid economic growth and increasingly turn to hydropower to meet rising energy demands. In her research, Dr Andrea Haefner of Griffith University examines how civil society groups are shaping debates about the future of this vital waterway and whether they can influence decisions around controversial dam projects in Laos and the wider Mekong region. Her research offers a rare window into the difficult politics of water governance in an authoritarian-leaning region, where environmental concerns, community voices and national ambitions often collide.
- [Dr Charlotte Parham - Dr Louis Nadelson | Lessons in Connection: What School Desegregation Meant for Black Students in the American South](https://scitube.io/dr-charlotte-parham-dr-louis-nadelson-lessons-in-connection-what-school-desegregation-meant-for-black-students-in-the-american-south/) - Intrauterine adhesion is a common gynecological condition – one of the main diseases of the reproductive system. This uterine disorder is characterized by a partial or complete adhesion between the anterior and posterior walls of the uterine cavity and/or the cervical canal. It has a debilitating impact on the quality of life for women of childbearing age. Intrauterine adhesion can form when the lining of the uterus becomes damaged, leading to scarring or even obliteration of the uterine cavity. It can result from intrauterine infections and from operations such as dilatation and curettage after miscarriage or termination of pregnancy.
- [Dr. Angelo Hooker | Understanding Intrauterine Scarring to Improve Fertility and Pregnancy Outcomes](https://scitube.io/dr-angelo-hooker-understanding-intrauterine-scarring-to-improve-fertility-and-pregnancy-outcomes/) - Intrauterine adhesion is a common gynecological condition – one of the main diseases of the reproductive system. This uterine disorder is characterized by a partial or complete adhesion between the anterior and posterior walls of the uterine cavity and/or the cervical canal. It has a debilitating impact on the quality of life for women of childbearing age. Intrauterine adhesion can form when the lining of the uterus becomes damaged, leading to scarring or even obliteration of the uterine cavity.

- [Memory, Aging, and the IQity® NeuroTimeLine™ Advantage](https://scitube.io/memory-aging-and-the-iqity-neurotimeline-advantage/) - Most people assume memory loss is a natural and unavoidable part of getting older. But modern neuroscience tells a very different story. Your brain can regain clarity, restore memory, and even reverse age-related decline – when we understand what is actually changing beneath the surface. As we age, most memory difficulties do not come from brain damage or neuron loss. They come from declining neural efficiency. Brain rhythms slow and lose precision. Communication between key networks becomes less coordinated. Emotional and stress load adds internal “noise”. Together, these shifts make it harder to encode new information and retrieve what we already know – even when the memories are still there.
- [Reducing Racial Disparities in Anemia in Pregnancy](https://scitube.io/reducing-racial-disparities-in-anemia-in-pregnancy/) - Pregnancy is often an exciting time as families welcome a new baby (or babies) into their homes. But sometimes, new mothers face serious health problems that can become life-threatening. Doctors call these life-threatening situations “severe maternal morbidity,” or a “near-miss” pregnancy event. One important issue that affects these outcomes is anemia during pregnancy (also referenced as antepartum anemia in our study). Anemia happens when the body doesn’t have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen. The most common type is iron-deficiency anemia, which simply means the body doesn’t have enough iron.
- [Dr Liisa Laakso | A Ray of Hope for Mitochondrial Disease](https://scitube.io/dr-liisa-laakso-a-ray-of-hope-for-mitochondrial-disease/) - MELAS is one of a number of rare genetic conditions in which a person’s cells struggle to make enough energy. As a result, people with MELAS often face extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, strokes, and a host of other symptoms. There is no cure yet, and treatments focus on managing problems as they show up. Now, Dr Liisa Laakso and her colleagues at the Mater Research Institute-University of Queensland are exploring a non-drug approach that could support the body’s cells themselves.
- [How Interconnected Bubbles Affect the Bread-Making Process](https://scitube.io/how-interconnected-bubbles-affect-the-bread-making-process-how-interconnected-bubbles-affect-the-bread-making-process/) - Bread is a vital source of nutrition for billions of people, and its demand is now rising even in regions where wheat doesn’t grow naturally. Wheat is the only grain that can produce high-quality bakery products. For farmers, in addition to facing the challenges of growing high-yield, high-protein wheat, they also need flour to be strong for baking, making good-quality, large loaves. Loaf size and crumb quality are strongly tied to the growth of gas bubbles inside the rising dough. So far, it has been difficult to predict the dynamics of bubbles in doughs from the properties of unprocessed flours.
- [Dr Ori Soltes | The War Within: How Our Search for Meaning Can Unite or Divide Us](https://scitube.io/dr-ori-soltes-the-war-within-how-our-search-for-meaning-can-unite-or-divide-us/) - Religion has long helped people make sense of the world, but as Dr Ori Soltes argues in a recent paper, this guidance comes with deep complications. Even the word religion contains a puzzle. It stems from the Latin religio, meaning ‘to bind back’, which immediately raises the question of what we are trying to reconnect with in the first place. That act of binding back is ultimately tied to a search for meaning – a deep human need to understand our place in the world and how we relate to everything around us. Across history, people have turned to religion to navigate existence, mortality, and uncertainty. But trying to understand that source of meaning, and then expressing it through the limitations of human language, is where the real trouble begins.
- [Dr Michael Rera | Smurf and Death: Understanding the Phasing of Aging](https://scitube.io/dr-michael-rera-smurf-and-death-understanding-the-phasing-of-aging/) - Aging is one of biology’s most universal and mysterious processes. Most living organisms age, although in different ways, yet scientists still don’t fully understand how or why it happens the way it does. Over time, cells accumulate damage and wear down, tissues become less efficient, and the body becomes more vulnerable to diseases and death. But is aging a progressive decline towards death, or does it occur in distinct, identifiable phases? To investigate this, Dr Michael Rera and colleagues at Paris Cité University have been studying aging in model organisms, including the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.
- [Dr. Jacqueline Tabler - The Self-Organizing Bone Wave That Shapes Our Skulls](https://scitube.io/dr-jacqueline-tabler-the-self-organizing-bone-wave-that-shapes-our-skulls/) - Most of us don’t give much thought to our skulls beyond their role in protecting our brains. But the way a skull forms in the womb is a remarkable feat of biology, and, as a new study shows, also a feat of physics.
- [Extracting Yeast Bioactives – Process Matters](https://scitube.io/extracting-yeast-bioactives-process-matters/) - Yeast cells are tiny powerhouses packed with bioactive components. As such, yeast has become a key ingredient in modern animal nutrition, valued for its ability to support gut health, boost immunity, and improve feed efficiency. To make the bioactive compounds within yeast cells available to animals, the tough outer cell wall must first be broken down. The process used to achieve this plays a key role in determining how effective it will be in supporting animal health and performance. Understanding these processing methods is essential for making the most of what yeast has to offer.
- [How Biomolecular Solutions Can Make Fish Farming Sustainable](https://scitube.io/how-biomolecular-solutions-can-make-fish-farming-sustainable/) - Fish farming has become one of the fastest-growing sources of food in the world, providing nearly half of all fish consumed globally. Yet behind this success lies a complex set of challenges. Intensive aquaculture can strain ecosystems, spread diseases, and increase dependence on antibiotics and chemicals that harm both fish and the environment. As climate change and rising demand for seafood put even more pressure on aquatic systems, scientists and producers are searching for smarter, more sustainable ways to farm fish without compromising animal welfare or water quality. Across Europe, a pioneering initiative called BioAqua COST Action, funded by the European Union, is working to meet this challenge.
- [How Chinese Words Transform When They Enter Mongolic Languages](https://scitube.io/how-chinese-words-transform-when-they-enter-mongolic-languages/) - When languages come into contact, they often borrow words from each other. But what happens if the donor-recipient language pairs are similar but set in different sociolinguistic contexts? Do they develop the same strategies, or do they find their own unique paths? Dr Julie Lefort of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice examines how Chinese adjectives are integrated into two Mongolic languages spoken in China: the Dörbed Mongolian Community Language (or ‘DMCL’ for short), spoken in Heilongjiang, and the Dongxiang language, spoken in Gansu.
- [Dr Alexandra Anna Spalek - Dr Louise McNally | When Verbs Stretch: How Grammar Shapes Figurative Language](https://scitube.io/dr-alexandra-anna-spalek-dr-louise-mcnally-when-verbs-stretch-how-grammar-shapes-figurative-language/) - Language is full of creativity, but that creativity follows rules we don’t always notice. When we say a politician “swept the election” or that someone is “cut off from their friends,” we’re not talking about literal sweeping or cutting. Yet, somehow, these figurative uses feel natural. But do they follow the same grammatical logic as their literal counterparts? This is the puzzle that linguists Louise McNally, from Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, and Alexandra Anna Spalek, from the University of Oslo, set out to solve. Their research explores whether verbs carry their core grammatical features with them even when they shift into metaphorical territory.
- [Professor Robert Slesinski | Love, Death, and the Unity of All Things: Lev Karsavin’s Philosophy of “Liebestod”](https://scitube.io/professor-robert-slesinski-love-death-and-the-unity-of-all-things-lev-karsavins-philosophy-of-liebestod/) - In the chaos of early twentieth-century Russia, philosopher and historian Lev Karsavin (1882–1952) sought to reconcile faith, reason, and the depths of human emotion. Exiled and later imprisoned in the Soviet gulag, he developed a vision of “all-embracing unity,” where even love, suffering, and death reveal the presence of the divine. Professor Robert Slesinski’s book, Liebestod: The Philosophy of Lev Karsavin, explores this striking figure in Russian religious thought.
- [Global Study to Evaluate Whether Dengue Outbreaks Can Be Anticipated Earlier](https://scitube.io/global-study-to-evaluate-whether-dengue-outbreaks-can-be-anticipated-earlier/) - Every year, dengue outbreaks stretch health systems across tropical regions to their limits. When hospitals begin to fill and communities fall ill, the virus has often already spread too far. For local health teams, that means reacting late – working harder, with fewer results. But what if we could see dengue risk coming months in advance, and act before the first case appears? What if communities could prepare, instead of being caught off guard?
- [Dr Sunny Sui-Kwong Lam | Running Together Apart: How a Runners’ Group Stayed Connected During Lockdown](https://scitube.io/dr-sunny-sui-kwong-lam-running-together-apart-how-a-runners-group-stayed-connected-during-lockdown/) - When Hong Kong went into pandemic lockdown, the city’s bustling harbourfront became relatively quiet, with only lone runners wearing masks. However, one local running group refused to let social isolation stop them. The Hong Kong Harbour Runners – a community of recreational joggers who met weekly for “harbour runs” – found creative ways to stay active and connected, even as restrictions shut down public gatherings. In a new study, Dr Sunny Sui-Kwong Lam of Hong Kong Metropolitan University explored how this community-led recreational running group kept its members motivated and emotionally supported.
- [Dr Anne Kovalainen - Dr Seppo Poutanen | From Public Good to Private Gain: Exploring the Marketisation of Finnish Education](https://scitube.io/dr-anne-kovalainen-dr-seppo-poutanen-from-public-good-to-private-gain-exploring-the-marketisation-of-finnish-education/) - For decades, Finland has been celebrated for its world-class schools and egalitarian education system. But recent research by Anne Kovalainen and Seppo Poutanen from the University of Turku reveals that the Finnish state has been reimagining education not only as a public good but also as an economic asset. Their recent study explores how government policies have transformed teaching and learning into commodities that can be packaged, branded, and sold around the world. The researchers warn that this shift could undermine the idea of education as something that serves the public good.
- [Healthy Streams, Stronger Farms: A Conservation Plan for the Mississippi Alluvial Valley](https://scitube.io/healthy-streams-stronger-farms-a-conservation-plan-for-the-mississippi-alluvial-valley/) - The streams and rivers of the Mississippi Alluvial Valley were once teeming with life. In the early 1800s, naturalist John J. Audubon described beautiful waters “covered with thousands of geese and ducks, and filled with fish.” Now, after more than a century of human activity, many of these waterways are struggling.
- [The Hidden Role of Platelets: New Insights Towards the Treatment of Aplastic Anaemia](https://scitube.io/the-hidden-role-of-platelets-new-insights-towards-the-treatment-of-aplastic-anaemia/) - Aplastic anaemia is a common and significant hematologic disease, where the bone marrow cannot produce enough blood cells, leaving people exhausted, prone to infections, and at risk of serious bleeding. Most mechanistic research has focused on how components of the immune system, especially T-cells, mistakenly attack the bone marrow. But new work led by Dr Shuai Tan, Dr Xingmin Feng, and Dr Wanling Sun offers an important shift in perspective: platelets may be doing far more than helping blood clot in aplastic anaemia.

Their findings position cfChPs as agents of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and drivers of evolutionary change.
- [Dr Luca Nitschke | A Social-Ecological Model of How Daily Routines Intertwine with Nature](https://scitube.io/dr-luca-nitschke-a-social-ecological-model-of-how-daily-routines-intertwine-with-nature/) - Everyday activities such as gardening or commuting might not seem like they have much to do with global environmental crises – but a new study led by Luca Nitschke argues otherwise. He and his colleagues, Lukas Sattlegger and Immanuel Stieß at the Institute for Social-Ecological Research (ISOE), introduced the idea of ‘social-ecological practices’ to show how our daily routines are deeply connected to the integrity of the natural world.
- [Professor Nicola Pless - Professor Thomas Maak | How Moral Imagination Can Resolve Corporate Dilemmas](https://scitube.io/professor-nicola-pless-professor-thomas-maak-how-moral-imagination-can-resolve-corporate-dilemmas/) - In the face of societal challenges, business leaders are expected to demonstrate responsible leadership and create solutions that benefit all stakeholders. This is not easy, particularly when stakeholder conflicts emerge in complex settings. Professor Pless of Adelaide University, Professor Maak of the University of Queensland, and colleagues explored how executives can navigate crisis situations and stakeholder conflicts involving ethical dilemmas.
- [Breaking Language Barriers: The Future of AI-Powered Translation Earpieces](https://scitube.io/breaking-language-barriers-the-future-of-ai-powered-translation-earpieces/) - Imagine visiting a foreign country, striking up a conversation with a local, and hearing an instant translation of their words through an earpiece. This once sci-fi scenario is inching closer to reality thanks to an ambitious European research project called FVLLMONTI, spearheaded by Professor Cristell Maneux at the University of Bordeaux.
- [Dr Leonie Tix | A New Way to Assess Frog Health for Ethical Animal-based Research](https://scitube.io/dr-leonie-tix-a-new-way-to-assess-frog-health-for-ethical-animal-based-research/) - When most people picture lab animals, mice or rats usually come to mind. However, another animal plays a quiet yet crucial role in biological research: the South African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis. These frogs have the ability to produce thousands of eggs each year, which scientists use to study processes ranging from cell division to genetics. Despite their importance, there has long been a gap in one very basic area of frog care: how to easily and reliably assess their health based on their nutritional status. This is the problem that Dr Leonie Tix of RWTH Aachen University and her collaborators set out to solve.
- [Dr Tim Wharton | Understanding the Role of Emotions in Human Communication](https://scitube.io/dr-tim-wharton-understanding-the-role-of-emotions-in-human-communication/) - Emotional communication is fundamental to human interaction, and plays a key role in the way humans connect with each another. However, precisely what emotions communicate and how they do so remains little understood. Dr Tim Wharton, a linguist based at the University of Brighton, is leading an ambitious research project that aims to change that. Drawing together insights from pragmatics – the study of utterance interpretation – linguistics, psychology, and neuroscience, his team’s work seeks to better understand the role of emotions in human communication.

- [Dr Maria Helena Braga | High-performing Cathodes for Lithium-ion Batteries](https://scitube.io/dr-maria-helena-braga-high-performing-cathodes-for-lithium-ion-batteries/) - Materials called NMCs are widely used as the positively charged electrodes – or ‘cathodes’ – in lithium-ion batteries, making them key components in everyday devices ranging from smartphones to electric cars. One type of nickel-rich NMC, called NMC955, is currently being developed as a promising new cathode material, owing to its exceptionally high energy density. Although the high nickel content of NMC955 helps reduce the need for cobalt, improving its environmental impact, it also causes structural and thermal stability issues that lead to safety concerns and reduced electrochemical performance. As a result, batteries with this cathode material can lose up to 15% of their charge capacity after just one charge-discharge cycle.
- [Dr Johanna Lynch | Promoting Patients’ Sensations of Safety Can Transform Healthcare](https://scitube.io/dr-johanna-lynch-promoting-patients-sensations-of-safety-can-transform-healthcare/) - What if the key to better healthcare wasn’t just treating symptoms, but helping people feel fundamentally safe? Dr Johanna Lynch at the University of Queensland, alongside her international research team, has developed what is now called the ‘Sense of Safety Theoretical Framework’ – a comprehensive approach that recognises feeling safe as a fundamental prerequisite for health. Their project involved transdisciplinary research into the neuroendocrinology, psychophysiology, and population impacts of threat, and extensive conversations with healthcare practitioners, mental health clinicians, and people with lived experience of illness across Australia and beyond.
- [Dr Ruth Kastner | A Quantum Defeat of Maxwell’s Demon](https://scitube.io/dr-ruth-kastner-a-quantum-defeat-of-maxwells-demon/) - “Maxwell’s Demon” is a thought experiment first imagined by James Clerk Maxwell in 1867. Maxwell suggested that a microscopic being – the “Demon” – could violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The Second Law demands that in a closed system, the overall level of disorder, or entropy, can only increase over time. In Maxwell’s thought experiment, a closed box filled with gas is divided into two chambers, and the “Demon” can sort fast-moving gas molecules into one chamber and slow-moving molecules into the other, decreasing the entropy of the gas. If this were possible, one could extract useful work from the gas without any energy input.
- [Greenland’s Ancient Warm Period Reveals Future Climate Risks](https://scitube.io/greenlands-ancient-warm-period-reveals-future-climate-risks/) - Studying Earth’s past environments is critical for predicting the impacts of human-driven climate change. By looking at how the Arctic responded to warm periods millions of years ago, scientists can make more accurate predictions about what lies ahead. A groundbreaking study led by Drs. Gina Moseley, Gabriella Koltai and Jonathan Baker at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, has revealed Greenland’s dramatically different past.
- [Dr. Jacob Bueno de Mesquita | Curbing the Spread of Infectious Diseases with Germicidal Ultraviolet Technology](https://scitube.io/dr-jacob-bueno-de-mesquita-curbing-the-spread-of-infectious-diseases-with-germicidal-ultraviolet-technology/) - Viruses responsible for COVID-19, the flu and other respiratory illnesses are exhaled by infected individuals, even when they don’t have symptoms. It is common for those infected to have no idea they are breathing out infectious particles. Some people, so-called ‘superspreaders’, tend to exhale more infectious particles than most other people, elevating the amount of airborne virus within a room and the risk of spreading infection. Airborne infectious particles pose risks in many indoor spaces – schools, public transit, workplaces, healthcare settings, gyms and restaurants. They linger in the air and are inhaled by others, leading to new infections and further transmission. How can we break this chain of transmission?
- [Dr Ursula Vincent | Detecting Trace Antibiotics in Livestock Feed to Combat Antimicrobial Resistance](https://scitube.io/dr-ursula-vincent-detecting-trace-antibiotics-in-livestock-feed-to-combat-antimicrobial-resistance/) - Antibiotic resistance is one of the most urgent public health threats today, and animal farming plays a significant role. For decades, livestock in the EU were routinely given medicated feed containing low doses of antibiotics – not to treat infections but to prevent them. This preventative daily dosing greatly contributed to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. To combat this, the EU first introduced new rules in 2006 where antibiotics in feed can only be used with a veterinary prescription to treat diagnosed infections. Since May of 2025, the cross-contamination of antibiotics from medicated feed to non-medicated feed has also become strictly regulated. Even with these regulations, non-medicated feed can still become contaminated.
- [Dennis Lee | Revolutionizing Space Investment Economics with Fuel-free Electric Propulsion](https://scitube.io/dennis-lee-revolutionizing-space-investment-economics-with-fuel-free-electric-propulsion/) - Spacecraft today are limited by a critical constraint: fuel. Traditional satellites depend on stored propellant fuel, which eventually runs out – cutting missions short and limiting long-term investment returns. Vortex Space Systems is changing this paradigm with an innovative new approach: fuel-free orbital propulsion. This innovation comes at a time when the space propulsion market is booming – expected to reach 6.4 billion US dollars by 2028. This includes the total US market for both fuel-based and electric propulsion systems. The electric propulsion segment alone is projected to grow to 291 million dollars by 2028, with a steady annual growth rate of 11.9%.
- [Dr Benjamin Blanz | Protecting Fish Stocks with Smarter Risk Management](https://scitube.io/dr-benjamin-blanz-protecting-fish-stocks-with-smarter-risk-management/) - Fisheries are a vital source of food, livelihoods, and cultural identity for many communities across the globe. Unfortunately, fish stocks are collapsing, despite management plans designed to ensure sustainability based on rigorous stock assessments. These collapses devastate ecosystems and the communities that rely on them, raising an urgent need to balance competing demands for fish with preserving stocks for the future. Dr Benjamin Blanz at the University of Hamburg and his collaborators are taking a new approach to this challenge.
- [Dr Simon Hoeg | Understanding the Future of Pre-Alpine Water in a Changing Climate](https://scitube.io/dr-simon-hoeg-understanding-the-future-of-pre-alpine-water-in-a-changing-climate/) - In the Pre-Alpine valleys of Switzerland, the water that flows through streams doesn’t all come from the same source. Some of this water might be today’s rain, while some is yesterday’s snowmelt. Another significant proportion has been moving underground for weeks, filtering through soils, forests, and rocks before making its way into streams and rivers. Understanding these different water sources and their varying proportions helps us to understand how rivers respond to the effects of climate change, and how reliable our water supplies will be in the future. This is the focus of an important new study by Dr Simon Hoeg of Panorama Water Research.
- [Dr Cees Hamelink | Conflict is Inherent to Humanity, But How Can We Stop It Escalating into Violence?](https://scitube.io/dr-cees-hamelink-conflict-is-inherent-to-humanity-but-how-can-we-stop-it-escalating-into-violence/) - Humans have a great capacity to care for the needs of others. Despite this, disagreements and disputes are an inherent part of human existence. So, what if the key to preventing conflicts from spiralling into mass violence isn’t avoiding disagreement altogether, but learning to communicate with compassion? New research from Dr Cees Hamelink at the University of Amsterdam suggests that, while we cannot eliminate human conflict, we can learn to tame its most destructive potential. His research challenges the widespread belief that conflicts can and should always be prevented, arguing instead that conflict often serves positive purposes in science, democracy, and personal development.

They are very slow to heal and prone to infection, causing significant discomfort and complications for patients. Dr Kristina Landscheidt and Professor Ole Goertz at Martin‐Luther Hospital, Berlin, have been investigating an innovative treatment that could offer improved patient outcomes: extracorporeal shock wave therapy. Their team’s recent study provides evidence that this treatment can significantly speed up the healing process for acute and chronic wounds.
- [The GEMS Project: Harvesting Geothermal Energy from Abandoned Mines](https://scitube.io/the-gems-project-harvesting-geothermal-energy-from-abandoned-mines/) - Geothermal power is a rapidly developing form of renewable energy, where heat is harvested directly from the Earth’s crust. One potentially abundant source of this energy is water in disused coal mines, which absorbs heat from the surrounding rock. There are thousands of these mines throughout Britain. With the right approach, Durham Energy Institute estimates that there is enough energy within them to meet the heating demands of every building lying over the coalfields. If achieved, this goal would not only be a significant step towards decarbonising the British economy; it could also provide immense benefits to disadvantaged former mining communities in the region. This video provides information to help you navigate emergency department visits to ensure your loved one receives effective care. The focus will be on how to manage seizure emergencies – either seizures arising for the first time or those caused by epilepsy.

- [Dr Luis A. Rubio | Exploring the Gut-Healing Potential of Plant Proteins](https://scitube.io/dr-luis-a-rubio-exploring-the-gut-healing-potential-of-plant-proteins/) - Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, are serious conditions marked by chronic inflammation in the digestive tract, causing pain, diarrhoea, and reduced quality of life. There is an urgent need for new therapies that reduce inflammation and avoid the negative effects of long-term medication use. Research led by Dr Luis A. Rubio at the Estación Experimental del Zadín in Spain explored whether extracts from legumes such as peas might offer a gentler, food-based alternative – as a treatment or preventative therapy for these conditions.
- [Professor Olya Bryksina | The Unexpected Power of Helping Others: What Drives Us in Groups](https://scitube.io/professor-olya-bryksina-the-unexpected-power-of-helping-others-what-drives-us-in-groups/) - We often assume that people are most motivated by activities that help them generate their own progress towards the goals they are aiming to achieve. In the context of personal goals, such as advancing one’s own career it is certainly true, as the benefits are direct and obvious. But research by Professor Olya Bryksina of the University of Winnipeg suggests that this common belief misses something powerful: in group settings, when working towards collective goals and outcomes, we may be more motivated by helping others than by helping ourselves.
- [Dr. Hubert Untersteiner | A Smart and Safe Method to Assess Pesticide Risks to Aquatic Life](https://scitube.io/dr-hubert-untersteiner-a-smart-and-safe-method-to-assess-pesticide-risks-to-aquatic-life/) - Imagine rivers and lakes, vital for life, threatened by invisible dangers: pesticides. How do we accurately assess their risk to aquatic ecosystems without endless, costly, and ethically challenging animal tests? Scientists are increasingly finding answers in powerful computer models. A new study carried out by Dr. Hubert Untersteiner and colleagues from the University of Ulster shows how combining two types of computer-modelling tools can improve predictions of pesticide toxicity in aquatic environments. The two methods they combined are Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationship (or QSAR), and Species Sensitivity Distribution (or SSD).

Among the various forms of ALS, about 2% of cases are linked to a mutation in a gene called SOD1. For years, there has been no effective treatment for these patients. A new investigation conducted by Dr. Sean Smith and his colleagues at Washington University in St. Louis offers new hope for ALS patients.
- [Miguel-Ángel Climent - Jaime Ramis | Identifying Cracks in Corroding Reinforced Concrete Using Ultrasound](https://scitube.io/miguel-angel-climent-jaime-ramis-identifying-cracks-in-corroding-reinforced-concrete-using-ultrasound/) - Reinforced concrete is a cheap and versatile material that combines the high compressive strength of concrete with the ability to resist stress provided by embedded steel bars. While reinforced concrete can be highly durable, exposure to harsh environments can reduce its lifetime. One of the main threats is the corrosion of the steel bars, which causes solid oxides to build up. As these oxides build up, they put pressure on the concrete, causing cracks to form and grow. Over time, pieces of the outer concrete layer can flake off or separate. As the steel corrodes, it no longer sticks well to the surrounding concrete, and the metal bars become thinner. If left untreated, this can weaken the structure.
- [Dr Michael Dillon | A Gamified Approach to Teaching at Plymouth University](https://scitube.io/dr-michael-dillon-a-gamified-approach-to-teaching-at-plymouth-university/) - In universities everywhere, there’s growing recognition that the traditional lecture model is no longer enough. As disciplines become more complex and interconnected, students need more than information – they need ways to engage actively with what they’re learning. This means moving beyond passive listening and note-taking, towards approaches that foster critical thinking and collaboration. At the University of Plymouth, a new teaching innovation is showing how gamified learning can encourage deeper understanding and student engagement.
- [Professor Kimani Nehusi | How Ancient Rituals Created Sacred Homelands](https://scitube.io/professor-kimani-nehusi-how-ancient-rituals-created-sacred-homelands/) - Land ownership disputes and displacement affect millions across Africa and its diaspora today, but understanding the profound spiritual relationship between African communities and their ancestral territories requires looking far back into history. Professor Kimani Nehusi at Temple University examines how African communities developed what he calls the ‘Afrikan Ancestral Land Complex’ – a distinctive collection of values, deep memory, knowledge, attitudes and rituals centered on land. His research focuses on ancient Kemet, known today as Egypt, where some of the earliest written records provide evidence of these practices dating back over 5,000 years.
- [What is Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity?](https://scitube.io/what-is-electromagnetic-hypersensitivity/) - Electronic appliances produce electromagnetic fields – or EMFs. These devices include mobile phones and masts, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth speakers and smart meters, as well as power lines and even electric motors. Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity – or EHS – is a physical reaction that people can have to these EMFs. The scientific consensus international report published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences confirms the view that EHS is a real, measurable neurological disorder, supported by biological mechanisms and markers.

Yet improving corn varieties through traditional breeding is a slow, labor-intensive process, and can take years to achieve the desired combination of traits like drought resistance, disease tolerance, or high yields. Now, a groundbreaking innovation from Dr. Jon Reinders and his team at Corteva Agriscience offers a faster, safer, and more precise alternative: editing corn genes directly inside the plant itself.
- [Dr Monica Pauls | Understanding Collective Identity Among Youth Activists Online](https://scitube.io/dr-monica-pauls-understanding-collective-identity-among-youth-activists-online/) - Can collective identity among social movement actors develop online? Do social media platforms foster genuine relationships, or do meaningful connections require face-to-face interaction? New research by Dr Monica Pauls at Mount Royal University aimed to find out. Her latest study dives into the digital lives of youth activists to explore whether social media can foster a genuine sense of belonging and shared purpose.
- [Dr. Robert Arnold | A Diagnostic Breakthrough for Aerodigestive Disorders in Rural Communities](https://scitube.io/dr-robert-arnold-a-diagnostic-breakthrough-for-aerodigestive-disorders-in-rural-communities/) - When people experience problems with swallowing, voice, breathing, or persistent coughing, the cause often lies within the aerodigestive tract – the complex system that spans the mouth, nose, throat, windpipe, and esophagus. Diagnosing these issues can be especially difficult in rural areas, where access to specialists and diagnostic tools is limited. Patients may face long delays, repeated referrals, and missed or incorrect diagnoses – resulting in avoidable suffering and even death. To address this gap, Dr. Robert Arnold of Southeastern Biocommunication Associates first developed the Comprehensive-Swallow Voice Assessment (or CSA).
- [The PROSPECT Mission: Uncovering the Moon’s Natural Resources](https://scitube.io/the-prospect-mission-uncovering-the-moons-natural-resources/) - Space agencies around the world are more motivated than ever to return to the Moon. Their renewed interest is driven by scientific interest and a potential treasure trove of natural resources. Many researchers are considering how water resources on the Moon’s surface could support life-sustaining systems, or be a source of hydrogen and oxygen propellant for future missions. In recent years, scientists have accumulated a tantalising body of evidence for abundant water ice on the Moon: with data suggesting that certain regions could harbour far more than previously thought. However, questions remain over how much is really present, what form it takes, and where it originated.
- [Professor Francis Worden | Breaking New Ground in Thyroid Cancer Treatment: The Promise of Lenvatinib](https://scitube.io/professor-francis-worden-breaking-new-ground-in-thyroid-cancer-treatment-the-promise-of-lenvatinib/) - Differentiated thyroid cancers are highly treatable with surgery and radioactive iodine therapy. But for some, the disease becomes more aggressive and is no longer amenable to this treatment, and such patients are deemed to have iodine-refractory cancers. In 2015, the FDA approved lenvatinib, a drug shown in trials to extend progression-free survival (or PFS) by five times that of placebo. PFS indicates the duration of time patients live with their cancer without disease progression. Lenvatinib targets several enzymes called tyrosine kinases, which cancer cells use for growth and to spread. By shutting down multiple pathways at once, the drug offers a powerful therapeutic mechanism.
- [Professor Penelope Corfield | Time-Space: Exploring How Humans Navigate Cosmic Existence](https://scitube.io/professor-penelope-corfield-time-space-exploring-how-humans-navigate-cosmic-existence/) - Yes, the clock is ticking away relentlessly! And yet today we live in an era when some philosophers claim that Time is merely an illusion. And certainly, many people casually dismiss all historical understanding as irrelevant. However, it’s time to rethink! We need to understand humanity’s place in time and space. And that’s particularly vital for addressing contemporary crises, especially climate change, which demands collective action based on both historical and scientific insights. Professor Penelope Corfield at Royal Holloway, University of London, has written a new book called Time-Space: We Are All in It Together. It offers a ground-breaking interdisciplinary exploration of how humans exist within the cosmic dimensions of Time and Space.
- [Professor Ben Baker | How Computational Methods Can Distinguish Between Hip-Hop Dance Styles](https://scitube.io/professor-ben-baker-how-computational-methods-can-distinguish-between-hip-hop-dance-styles/) - Dance plays a vital role across human cultures, with communities developing different styles for artistic expression. While experts can describe differences between dance genres in words, these descriptions are only meaningful to those with relevant background knowledge. In a recent study, Professor Ben Baker and colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania developed a computational system for analyzing and classifying bodily movement using 17 features, such as how expanded a dancer’s body is, or how frequently they make sharp movements.
- [Professor Basil Okeahialam | The Silent Shift: Why Menopause Matters for Women’s Heart Health](https://scitube.io/professor-basil-okeahialam-the-silent-shift-why-menopause-matters-for-womens-heart-health/) - When people think of menopause, hot flashes and mood swings often come to mind. But behind the visible symptoms, something much more serious may be happening – something silent, hidden, and potentially deadly. According to Professor Basil Okeahialam of the Jos University teaching Hospital in Nigeria, the transition into menopause could be a critical tipping point for women’s heart health. In a recent study involving women from rural communities, Okeahialam and his colleagues explored how menopause affects blood pressure and other markers of cardiovascular disease.
- [Professor Mark D. Hayward | How Education Shapes Dementia Risk](https://scitube.io/professor-mark-d-hayward-how-education-shapes-dementia-risk/) - Dementia – a syndrome characterized by declining cognitive function that interferes with daily living – represents one of the most significant health challenges facing aging populations worldwide. While sometimes viewed as an inevitable consequence of aging, research increasingly shows that dementia risk can be modified through life experiences. For instance, higher levels of education are associated with lower risk of dementia, but the exact relationship between years of schooling and cognitive health remains an important area of investigation. Professor Mark Hayward at the University of Texas at Austin and his colleagues, Hyungmin Cha and Mateo Farina, recently explored how education affects dementia risk and onset timing, as well as prevalence trends across different population groups.
- [Minecraft Meets AI: How Virtual Agents Learn to Collaborate](https://scitube.io/minecraft-meets-ai-how-virtual-agents-learn-to-collaborate/) - A conversational agent is a type of AI system that can interact with humans using their own language. AI researchers aim to create agents that can have natural conversations with humans while also carrying out instructions in interactive virtual worlds. Not only do these worlds provide researchers with a convenient platform to specify tasks for their conversational agents – they also allow them to gather large amounts of data, and to evaluate the performance of their systems. In recent research, Chris Madge, Massimo Poesio and other members of the ARCIDUCA team at Queen Mary University of London show how conversational agents can be deployed within the virtual world of Minecraft.
- [How Humour Shaped Western Support for Ukraine](https://scitube.io/how-humour-shaped-western-support-for-ukraine/) - Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 triggered an unprecedented wave of Western support. This was particularly apparent in the UK, where citizens held vigils and fundraisers, public buildings were lit in Ukrainian colours, while the government pledged over a hundred million pounds in humanitarian aid. According to Dr James Brassett and Dr Christopher Browning at the University of Warwick, this phenomenon went beyond mere sympathy, developing into ‘vicarious identification’ – where people gain a sense of identity and purpose by living through others’ experiences.
- [How COVID-19 Shaped Conservation Activism in Southern Africa](https://scitube.io/how-covid-19-shaped-conservation-activism-in-southern-africa/) - The COVID-19 pandemic influenced social structures and behaviours globally, reshaping how communities interact and mobilize. It also significantly transformed social movements across the world, creating new patterns of digital activism as essential tools during times of physical distancing and restricted movement. During this global shift, social media amplified indigenous voices in conservation, but turning this digital momentum into real policy impact remains a challenge. Despite safeguarding 80% of global biodiversity, these communities are often excluded from environmental decision-making, underscoring the need for digital advocacy to support their rights and heritage.
- [Professor Jorge Domínguez | How Cuba’s Leadership Responded to Crisis: Combining Repression with Reform](https://scitube.io/professor-jorge-dominguez-how-cubas-leadership-responded-to-crisis-combining-repression-with-reform/) - Protests in Cuba in 2021 represented the most significant challenge to the country’s political order in 40 years, with thousands of nationwide demonstrators demanding changes. In recent research, Professor Jorge Domínguez examines how Cuban authorities responded to these mass protests through a complex strategy combining repression with selective reforms. Contrary to common perceptions that the Cuban government relied solely on repression to quell the July 2021 protests, Domínguez reveals they took a more nuanced approach.
- [Dr Paul Robertson | Safer Skies: Using Artificial Intelligence to Prevent Aviation Accidents](https://scitube.io/dr-paul-robertson-safer-skies-using-artificial-intelligence-to-prevent-aviation-accidents/) - Air travel is the safest form of transportation, but human error and unexpected failures still lead to devastating accidents every year. Dr Paul Robertson of Dynamic Object Language Labs, Inc. (DOLL) is developing a new system that can help pilots detect and respond to problems before they become disasters. This AI-based technology, called Lightweight Interaction and Storytelling Archive (or LISA), continuously monitors aviation conditions and provides support to pilots. Medical devices called endografts – consisting of a stent and a graft – can be used as internal scaffolds to stabilise the weakened artery walls. However, these devices can lead to problems, which many researchers and clinicians are striving to solve.
- [Dr. Michelle Pantoya | Unlocking Aluminum for Faster, More Efficient Combustion](https://scitube.io/dr-michelle-pantoya-unlocking-aluminum-for-faster-more-efficient-combustion/) - Aluminum is an extremely energy-rich metal, making it an excellent candidate for fuels, propellants, and other high-power applications. However, its full potential is often locked away beneath a stubborn protective shell, which prevents it from burning efficiently. Dr. Michelle Pantoya and her research team at Texas Tech University have found a way to transform aluminum’s surface chemistry to make it burn faster and more effectively. Their breakthrough could lead to more powerful rocket fuels, explosives, and energy systems.
- [Dr Ross Jansen-van Vuuren | Heavy Hydrogen, Light Footprint: Recyclable Catalysts Shake Up Deuterium Chemistry](https://scitube.io/dr-ross-jansen-van-vuuren-heavy-hydrogen-light-footprint-recyclable-catalysts-shake-up-deuterium-chemistry/) - Deuterium-labelled organic compounds are special molecules where hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium – a heavier form of hydrogen. These compounds are important in medicine as they are often safer and more effective than their hydrogen-based counterparts. They are also used in medical imaging, where they help doctors to track how drugs move through the body. Additionally, they are used to increase the stability and operational lifetime of many functional materials such as light-emitters – found in light-emitting diodes – and fluorescent dyes. Despite their usefulness, methods for making deuterium-labelled compounds involve wasteful and inefficient processes, prompting scientists to search for greener, more sustainable alternatives.
- [Professor Robert Slesinski | How Freedom Shapes Revolutionary Philosophy: Berdyaev’s Existential Thought](https://scitube.io/professor-robert-slesinski-how-freedom-shapes-revolutionary-philosophy-berdyaevs-existential-thought/) - Nicolai Berdyaev (1874-1948) was one of the most influential Russian philosophers in the West during the 20th century. In a recent paper, Professor Robert Slesinski analyzes Berdyaev’s philosophy, arguing that it centers on a radical understanding of freedom that challenges traditional Christian metaphysics.
- [Preventing Damage to Human Organs and Biological Samples During Cryopreservation](https://scitube.io/preventing-damage-to-human-organs-and-biological-samples-during-cryopreservation/) - Cryopreservation is a technique allowing organs, whole organisms, tissues and cells to be preserved below 0°C for extended periods. Currently, organs are stored above 0°C, which limits their storage time to a few hours. Hence, it is difficult to successfully preserve organs for patients who need life-saving transplants. By bringing organs to temperatures below 0°C, their metabolism can be further lowered, and preservation times can be considerably lengthened. However, water contained in and around cells can form ice crystals, which damage cellular structures. This effect has severely limited the use of cryopreservation for organs and other biological samples. Scientists have recently developed innovative ways to prevent ice-crystal formation during cryopreservation.
- [How Employment Goals Impact Job Outcomes for People with Disabilities](https://scitube.io/how-employment-goals-impact-job-outcomes-for-people-with-disabilities/) - Employment plays a vital role in a person’s community participation, social connection, and quality of life. This is also true for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities – or ‘IDD’. Despite various federal policies promoting workplace inclusion, research consistently shows that people with IDD face significant challenges in securing meaningful employment. This has led researchers to examine what factors might help improve employment outcomes. Recent research by Lindsay DuBois and her colleagues at the Human Services Research Institute offers new insights into this question.
- [Dr Tara Rosewall | Exploring the Impact of Cannabis on Prostate Cancer Risk](https://scitube.io/dr-tara-rosewall-exploring-the-impact-of-cannabis-on-prostate-cancer-risk/) - Cannabis is becoming increasingly common in many countries, with more people using it both recreationally and medicinally. This increased usage has given rise to many questions about the long-term effects of cannabis on health – particularly when it comes to cancer. Some studies suggest that cannabis use may be linked to an increased risk of certain cancers, while others show that cannabis compounds may have anti-cancer properties. One area that remains under-researched is the potential link between cannabis use and prostate cancer – one of the most common cancers affecting men. A recent study by Dr Tara Rosewall and her colleagues at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto explored whether a person’s lifetime cannabis use is associated with an increased or decreased risk of developing prostate cancer.
- [Dr Jörg Enderlein | Building 3D Images of the Biomolecular World](https://scitube.io/dr-jorg-enderlein-building-3d-images-of-the-biomolecular-world/) - Over the past two decades, advances in super-resolution microscopy have sparked a revolution in imaging: offering researchers clear glimpses of biological structures just a few nanometres in size. The ability to visualise 3D structures at this scale is critical for understanding how drugs interact with proteins, and how diseases such as cancer progress at a molecular level. As such, better 3D imaging tools could accelerate the development of new drugs, guide more targeted therapies, and deepen our understanding of fundamental cellular processes.
- [Professor Thea Brown | Recognising Red Flags to Prevent the Murder of Children by Their Parents](https://scitube.io/professor-thea-brown-recognising-red-flags-to-prevent-the-murder-of-children-by-their-parents/) - Filicide – the killing of a child by their parent – has long been dismissed as too rare or too incomprehensible to study in depth. However, as Professor Thea Brown’s research shows, filicide is neither as rare as once thought nor beyond our capacity to prevent. Her team’s work at Monash University demonstrates that filicide doesn’t occur in isolation, or from a single cause. Instead, it arises from a complex web of factors – including family violence, poverty, substance abuse, mental illness, and the perpetrator’s history of trauma. Importantly, Brown’s work reveals that both mothers and fathers commit filicide, but often in different circumstances and with different warning signs – many of which are missed by social services.
- [Dr. Thomas Tonon | A New Roadmap for Decarbonizing the US Economy](https://scitube.io/dr-thomas-tonon-a-new-roadmap-for-decarbonizing-the-us-economy/) - Can existing hydrogen technologies help us achieve net-zero by 2050? Through his research, Dr. Thomas Tonon provides a technical and economic analysis of a US energy economy powered by renewables, using existing hydrogen technologies. Tonon considers the 2022 energy requirements of each major sector of the US economy – including industry, transportation, commercial, and residential. Through detailed calculations, Tonon creates a complete green energy infrastructure that replaces virtually all fossil fuel and nuclear supply.
- [Dr. Matthew Sherrer | Why Trust Builds Stronger Healthcare Teams](https://scitube.io/dr-matthew-sherrer-why-trust-builds-stronger-healthcare-teams/) - In modern healthcare, the stakes can be very high. Every decision made by medical professionals can have significant and life-changing consequences for patients. In this environment, it is crucial that medical staff work effectively together to do the best for their patients, and you may assume that their competence and skills are the most important factors in their success. However, as Dr. Matthew Sherrer at the University of Alabama at Birmingham argues in his new paper, Building Trusting Healthcare Teams, it’s not just competence that saves lives – it’s trust.
- [How Nurses Can Lead the IV to Oral Antibiotic Switch Campaign](https://scitube.io/how-nurses-can-lead-the-iv-to-oral-antibiotic-switch-campaign/) - Switching patients from IV antibiotics to oral antibiotics is a critical step in patient care that can improve outcomes, reduce risks, and free up valuable nursing time. Nurses are the healthcare professionals who spend the most time with patients, so they are ideally positioned to identify when this switch is appropriate and to prompt clinicians to consider it. However, many nurses feel uncertain about how to initiate this process. This video aims to empower nurses with the knowledge and confidence needed to support IV to oral switches – or IVOS.
- [Dr. Christopher Marinangeli | Maximizing Nutrition in Plant-Based Diets](https://scitube.io/dr-christopher-marinangeli-maximizing-nutrition-in-plant-based-diets/) - Plant-based diets are becoming more popular in many countries, due to their many benefits for health and the environment.

As such, chemists are often fascinated by obscure molecules, especially those that don’t follow normal rules. One curious case is a molecule called thiocarbonyl dithiocyanate, which was reported over 40 years ago but has been rarely studied since.
- [Dr. Ndukaku Omelu | Maintaining Life-Saving Colorectal Cancer Screening](https://scitube.io/dr-ndukaku-omelu-maintaining-life-saving-colorectal-cancer-screening/) - Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the US, with over 52,000 deaths annually. Early detection through screening saves lives, but maintaining these programs is challenging, especially when funding is uncertain. In California, a program called the California Colon Cancer Control Program (or C4P) helped to increase the uptake of fecal immunochemical test (or FIT) screening for colorectal cancer to prevent colorectal cancer deaths and reduce health disparities. The C4P intervention was funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
- [Prof. Diana Jaalouk | Cutting-Edge Cancer Tools: Editing Genes and Cleaning Up Proteins](https://scitube.io/prof-diana-jaalouk-cutting-edge-cancer-tools-editing-genes-and-cleaning-up-proteins/) - Cancer continues to challenge scientists and doctors around the world, partly because every tumor is unique and doesn’t always respond well to one-size-fits-all treatments. But a new wave of personalized medicine, called precision oncology, is changing that. Researchers such as Prof. Diana Jaalouk and her colleagues at the American University of Beirut in Lebanon are investigating two exciting tools, CRISPR-Cas9 and PROTACs, that are giving doctors more accurate ways to treat cancer with fewer side effects.
- [Dr. Mark Dombrovski | From Molecules to Behaviours: Untangling the Principles of Brain Wiring](https://scitube.io/dr-mark-dombrovski-from-molecules-to-behaviours-untangling-the-principles-of-brain-wiring/) - How does the brain translate what we see into what we do? Every action we take, from catching a ball to avoiding danger, relies on precise connections between neurons. Dr. Mark Dombrovski, previously at the University of California Los Angeles, and now at the University of Colorado Boulder, explores how these neural circuits form, linking the genetic and molecular building blocks of the brain to behaviours. At the heart of his research lies a fundamental question: How do neurons identify and connect with their correct partners to form precise circuits in the developing brain, where they are exposed to so many possible alternative options?
- [Professor Mark Doel | How Objects Can Tell the Story of Social Work](https://scitube.io/professor-mark-doel-how-objects-can-tell-the-story-of-social-work/) - Social work can sometimes be difficult to define or explain to the public. While many people have direct experience with teachers, nurses, or police officers, far fewer understand what social workers actually do. A research project by Professor Mark Doel at Sheffield Hallam University explores an innovative way to make social work more visible – through the display of meaningful objects.
- [Professor Joanne Wood | Understanding How Self-Esteem Shapes Romantic Relationships](https://scitube.io/professor-joanne-wood-understanding-how-self-esteem-shapes-romantic-relationships/) - The common saying “you can’t love someone else if you don’t love yourself” suggests a straightforward link between self-esteem and relationship satisfaction. A recent review by Professor Joanne Wood at the University of Waterloo and several collaborators across North America, challenges this simple notion, showing that self-esteem influences relationships through a complex chain of psychological and behavioral effects. Self-esteem describes a person’s overall evaluation of themselves. While traditional research has found modest links between high self-esteem and relationship satisfaction, these studies typically overlook the deeper, indirect ways that self-esteem shapes romantic relationships. Medical devices called endografts – consisting of a stent and a graft – can be used as internal scaffolds to stabilise the weakened artery walls. However, these devices can lead to problems, which many researchers and clinicians are striving to solve.
- [From Awe to Compassion: Exploring Different States of Selfless Joy](https://scitube.io/from-awe-to-compassion-exploring-different-states-of-selfless-joy/) - Positive emotions have gained significant research attention in recent decades, with particular focus on ‘self-transcendent emotions’ – those that shift our attention away from our self-interest toward something beyond ourselves. Despite growing interest in these states of selfless joy – which include awe, gratitude and love – most have been studied separately, leaving researchers unclear about how they are connected. A new study by Angela Gaia Abatista and Florian Cova at the University of Geneva offers the first comprehensive framework for categorising these uplifting emotions. Their research reveals that self-transcendent emotions aren’t just one uniform family but can be divided into distinct categories with different functions.

These formations can even thrive underground, where they survive without sunlight and rely on chemical processes to generate energy. Such subterranean biofilms play important roles in ecological processes, but they can cause challenges when they grow within human infrastructure, such as tunnel drainage systems. Medical devices called endografts – consisting of a stent and a graft – can be used as internal scaffolds to stabilise the weakened artery walls. However, these devices can lead to problems, which many researchers and clinicians are striving to solve.

- [Dr Jiantong Li | Revolutionising Renewable Energy Storage with Micro-supercapacitors](https://scitube.io/dr-jiantong-li-revolutionising-renewable-energy-storage-with-micro-supercapacitors/) - Harvesting mechanical energy from Earth’s natural environment is a clean and sustainable way to produce power. While wind is the most well-known form of mechanical energy that can be converted into electrical energy, it can originate from various sources, including ocean waves, falling water droplets, and even human motion. The challenge with this approach is that none of these sources are available all the time. Even when they are available, the amount of energy they produce can vary drastically. This inherent randomness produces pulsed electrical signals with irregular amplitudes and frequencies, which aren’t well suited for use in electrical devices.
- [Professor Waldemar Carlo | Delivering Hope: Reducing Infections in Childbirth](https://scitube.io/professor-waldemar-carlo-delivering-hope-reducing-infections-in-childbirth/) - Childbirth is a joyous event for parents, but for many mothers, it entails a significant infection risk. Maternal infections can range from mild infections to life-threatening sepsis, which is a leading cause of maternal death worldwide. Recent research led by Professor Waldemar Carlo from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in the Global Network for Women’s and Children’s Health Research has revealed a simple solution: a single oral dose of the antibiotic azithromycin administered during labor.
- [Harnessing Autofluorescence to Explore Foetal Liver Development](https://scitube.io/harnessing-autofluorescence-to-explore-foetal-liver-development/) - The foetal liver is a critical organ during early development, acting as a blood cell factory before the bone marrow takes over. Here, blood stem cells expand and prepare to support lifelong blood production. At the same time, foetal liver cells mature and develop their metabolic and detoxification functions. Understanding how these different cells work together could provide crucial insights into how we can mimic foetal liver conditions to produce blood outside of the human body, with promising applications in regenerative medicine and transplantation therapies.
- [Professor Will Greaves | How Donald Trump Reshaped Canada-US Relations](https://scitube.io/professor-will-greaves-how-donald-trump-reshaped-canada-us-relations/) - For decades, Canada and the United States have maintained one of the world's closest security partnerships. While disagreements have surfaced occasionally, such as disputes over trade, climate policy, and military interventions, these tensions never truly threatened the deep-rooted trust between these allies. However, new research by Professor Will Greaves from the University of Victoria suggests that Donald Trump’s presidency fundamentally altered this relationship, putting its stability at risk.
- [Professor Christina Strunck | A New Approach to Analysing Art in its Spatial Setting](https://scitube.io/professor-christina-strunck-a-new-approach-to-analysing-art-in-its-spatial-setting/) - How did Early Modern mural paintings seek to shape attitudes to Britishness? This is one of the central questions addressed by Professor Christina Strunck in her book Britain and the Continent, 1660 to 1727. Professor Strunck examines the most significant political murals created in Britain in the decades around 1700, including those at Windsor Castle, Chatsworth and Hampton Court Palace. She focuses on how these paintings portray the relationship between Britain and the continent. By doing so, she shows how murals in public and private buildings contributed to the formation of a national identity.
- [Streamlining Software Development with AI](https://scitube.io/streamlining-software-development-with-ai/) - In software engineering, functional size is a quantity that allows developers to measure how large or complex a program is, based on the functions it provides to its users. It is widely used to estimate the amount of work and cost required to create the software. So far, a variety of tools have been developed for estimating functional size or the software project cost based on the software size, including COCOMO, which estimates cost based on the number of lines of code in the software, and Function Point Analysis, which measures the software’s functionality. However, many of these methods need to be applied manually by developers, making them costly and time-consuming.
- [Dr Sofia Forssten | Combining Fibre, Food and Probiotics to Promote Gut Health](https://scitube.io/dr-sofia-forssten-combining-fibre-food-and-probiotics-to-promote-gut-health/) - Our gut microbiome plays a crucial role in overall health. This diverse community of trillions of bacteria, viruses and fungi not only aids digestion, but also produces compounds that protect against inflammation, boost immunity, and support psychological wellbeing. Disruptions to this balance – caused by illness, diet or antibiotics – can lead to many health issues, including infections and chronic conditions. In recent years, scientists have been exploring how diet can be used to maintain and restore a healthy gut microbiome. Dr Sofia Forssten at IFF Health Sciences in Finland is at the forefront of this research. She and her colleagues focus on how dietary fibres and probiotics can shape the intricate ecosystem of the gut microbiome.
- [Professor Semra Sevi | How Big Data is Uncovering the Secrets of Canadian Elections](https://scitube.io/professor-semra-sevi-how-big-data-is-uncovering-the-secrets-of-canadian-elections/) - A key challenge in studying democracy is understanding who runs for office and what factors influence their success, particularly when it comes to descriptive representation – the extent to which a legislature reflects the demographic makeup of the population. Until recently, however, researchers had limited data on Canadian political candidates. Professor Semra Sevi of the University of Toronto has created the largest dataset of its kind, documenting every candidate who ran in Canadian federal and Ontario provincial elections since 1867. This comprehensive dataset has already enabled several groundbreaking studies on Canadian democracy.
- [Dr. Kim Gregory | Transforming Maternity Care in Hospitals](https://scitube.io/dr-kim-gregory-transforming-maternity-care-in-hospitals/) - Childbirth is one of the most significant experiences in many people’s lives, and hospitals play a critical role in shaping this experience. In recent years, more attention has focused on how a mother’s satisfaction with hospital care during childbirth impacts both her wellbeing and the broader quality of maternity care.

- [Dr Guy Willems | New Insights into Preventing Impacted Teeth in Children](https://scitube.io/dr-guy-willems-new-insights-into-preventing-impacted-teeth-in-children/) - Prevention is always better than cure when it comes to our dental health. For children, ensuring that teeth develop correctly can prevent complications and save years of invasive orthodontic treatment. One issue that often arises in children is impaction of the upper canine teeth, which can fail to erupt properly due to crowding or misalignment. Impacted canines can cause damage to neighbouring teeth, require surgery, and result in years of orthodontic treatments. As such, we need a better understanding of how to prevent this issue.
- [Dennis Lee | Propellant-Free Spacecraft: The Future of Debris Removal and Orbital Mobility](https://scitube.io/dennis-lee-propellant-free-spacecraft-the-future-of-debris-removal-and-orbital-mobility/) - Currently, most orbital spacecraft generate thrust by ejecting propellant. The need for propellant has hampered efforts to remove debris from Earth’s orbit – a problem which has resulted in an orbit increasingly cluttered by defunct satellites and the remnants of old space missions. To prevent active satellites from colliding with debris, researchers are developing a new generation of spacecraft – Hyper Transfer Vehicles (or HTVs) – designed to remove orbital debris. These HTVs need to be agile enough to grab debris, drag it down to the Earth’s atmosphere to safely burn up, then return to the higher orbit to repeat the operation.
- [Improving the Diagnosis and Treatment of Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder](https://scitube.io/improving-the-diagnosis-and-treatment-of-avoidant-restrictive-food-intake-disorder/) - Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder – or ARFID – is characterised by ongoing eating difficulties that can lead to malnutrition, weight changes, faltering growth in children, reliance on supplements, stress and social difficulties. Some affected individuals struggle to recognise when they are hungry or find eating unenjoyable, while others might avoid certain foods because of their texture, smell, or appearance. Past experiences such as choking or vomiting can also make someone avoid eating. In a recent review, researchers Tanith Archibald and Rachel Bryant-Waugh at the Maudsley Centre for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders provide an overview of our current understanding of ARFID and its implications for clinical practice.

Some hate it, some love it. Some see capitalists as exploiters, while others view them as saviours of the economy. Researcher Raphael Gloeckle takes a more nuanced viewpoint, and explains that capitalists can be divided into three categories: useful, useless and harmful.
- [Dr. Allen Place | Small but Deadly: The Story of Karlodinium veneficum](https://scitube.io/dr-allen-place-small-but-deadly-the-story-of-karlodinium-veneficum/) - The oceans are vast and teeming with life, but survival in this watery realm is no less competitive than on land. Among the ocean’s myriad inhabitants are dinoflagellates, tiny single-celled organisms that play a crucial role in marine ecosystems. Despite their minuscule size, some dinoflagellates possess extraordinary biochemical weaponry. One of the most fascinating examples is Karlodinium veneficum, a species armed with potent toxins known as karlotoxins. These molecular marvels enable K. veneficum to thrive by allowing it to prey on smaller organisms and warding off predators.
- [Dr. Kurt Vollmer | Weeding Out the Competition: The Promise of Cover Crops in Sustainable Agriculture](https://scitube.io/dr-kurt-vollmer-weeding-out-the-competition-the-promise-of-cover-crops-in-sustainable-agriculture/) - Agriculture today faces mounting challenges. Climate change, soil degradation, and the spread of herbicide-resistant weeds threaten productivity and sustainability. However, a promising and natural solution is gaining momentum: cover crops. These plants, grown to improve soil and suppress weeds rather than for harvest, are proving to be powerful allies for farmers striving to protect the environment while maintaining high yields
- [Dr Paul Edwards | Rethinking Cancer: Could Much of Tumour Behaviour Be the Body’s Normal Healing Response?](https://scitube.io/dr-paul-edwards-rethinking-cancer-could-much-of-tumour-behaviour-be-the-bodys-normal-healing-response/) - Much cancer research investigates why tumours behave the way they do. Many researchers believe that tumours manipulate their environment to grow and spread, using sophisticated strategies to hijack the body’s own systems. However, new ideas are challenging this view, suggesting that the behaviour of tumours might be closer to the body’s natural responses to damage. In his recent paper, Dr Paul Edwards at Cambridge University offers an eye-opening perspective on this.
- [Dr Michael Rosenthal | Revolutionizing 3D-Printing of Wood with Liquid Deposition Modelling](https://scitube.io/dr-michael-rosenthal-revolutionizing-3d-printing-of-wood-with-liquid-deposition-modelling/) - Current wood processing techniques rely on subtractive manufacturing, where material is carved away from a block of wood to reach the desired shape. However, this approach is inherently wasteful: producing thousands of tons of wood residue each year in Germany alone. The most promising solution to this problem is additive manufacturing, or 3D printing: where materials are deposited layer-by-layer. With this approach, much of the material involved in the manufacturing process appears in the final product, resulting in far greater material efficiency compared to subtractive manufacturing.
- [Dr Hana Jee | Do people who speak different languages share preferences for letter shapes?](https://scitube.io/dr-hana-jee-do-people-who-speak-different-languages-share-preferences-for-letter-shapes/) - Writing systems are one of humanity's most important inventions, allowing us to communicate across time and space. For centuries, researchers thought the relationship between written symbols and their sounds was completely arbitrary - that there was no real connection between how a letter looks and how it sounds. However, recent research has challenged this, suggesting that writing systems often contain hidden patterns linking symbols to sounds. A new study by Dr Hana Jee of York St John University investigates whether people from different language backgrounds share similar preferences for how symbols should connect to sounds.
- [Professor Özlem Atikcan | How the Migration Debate in Europe Changed During the ‘Crisis’ Years](https://scitube.io/how-the-migration-debate-in-europe-changed-during-the-crisis-years/) - The way we talk about complex issues shapes how we understand and respond to them. In social science, different ways of presenting an issue are called ‘frames’, which are like lenses that highlight certain aspects of a topic while downplaying others. For instance, ‘framing’ migration as a security issue creates a very different picture compared to discussing it as a human rights matter. Professor Özlem Atikcan and her colleagues at the University of Warwick, Sofie Roehrig and Tim Henrichsen, have studied how conversations about migration evolved between 2000 and 2020.
- [Dr. Wendi Quinn O’Neill | Repurposing an Anti-lipid Drug to Tackle HPV-Positive Head and Neck Cancer](https://scitube.io/repurposing-an-anti-lipid-drug-to-tackle-hpv-positive-head-and-neck-cancer/) - HPV-positive head and neck cancer is driven by HPV – a virus that is well known to cause cervical cancer. HPV-positive head and neck cancer is typically treated with surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy. However, treatment outcomes are far from ideal, and there is a clear need for new therapies. This cancer features a viral protein called E6 as a lynchpin of its survival and growth. Previous research has shown that using genetic tools to block this protein can prevent tumor growth. E6, and the signaling pathways associated with it, may therefore represent a tantalizing therapeutic target for HPV-driven cancers.

To address this, Dr. Patrick O’Neill of Pfizer, Ireland, and Professor Jie Wu from the National University of Singapore, alongside their teams, have pioneered a revolutionary method to synthesize 1,2,3-triazole, a key compound used to manufacture the vital antibiotic tazobactam.
- [Professor Nina Wedell | Hidden Conflict Between Sexes Maintains Genetic Diversity](https://scitube.io/professor-nina-wedell-hidden-conflict-between-sexes-maintains-genetic-diversity/) - Far from being harmonious, the reproductive relationship between males and females is full of conflict. Differing optimal states for traits shared between the sexes leads to unseen conflict within the very molecular blueprint for life – the genes. Sexual conflict arising in certain alleles – alternative forms of a gene – could help to maintain genetic variation in populations. Research aiming to characterise this process of balancing selection is fundamental to our understanding of evolution. However, the theory has attracted controversy, because specific alleles producing sexual antagonistic selection have not been identified in natural populations… until now.
- [Professor Martin Garcia | Electric Fields Could Stop COVID-19 in Its Tracks](https://scitube.io/professor-martin-garcia-electric-fields-could-stop-covid-19-in-its-tracks/) - Imagine a world where we can neutralise airborne viruses by simply using invisible electric fields. Research led by Professor Martin Garcia has uncovered a surprising weakness in SARS-CoV-2 – the virus responsible for COVID-19.

As researchers progress in their ability to manipulate DNA, they are beginning to design and create synthetic proteins with a wide array of applications, such as new medical treatments, biofuel production, breakdown of pollutants, and biosensors that can detect specific molecules. To create synthetic proteins with new properties, scientists often need to modify DNA sequences or create entirely new ones. They then need to test the resulting genetic variants to see if they will produce a protein with new functions that could be useful for their desired application.
- [Taking Charge of Your Health: Free Hepatitis B Screening and Treatment](https://scitube.io/taking-charge-of-your-health-free-hepatitis-b-screening-and-treatment/) - Chronic hepatitis B affects the liver, and may result in liver damage (called cirrhosis), liver failure, liver cancer, and early death if left untreated. The hepatitis B virus that causes the condition can spread by blood transfusion, sexual contact, and sharing contaminated needles or razors. Most individuals, including those who acquire the virus in childhood, do not notice any specific symptoms, and remain unaware of their hepatitis B infection. However, the virus may remain active, causing slow but progressive damage to the liver. Therefore, many people with hepatitis B only discover their infection when the liver has already suffered severe damage. Testing for the hepatitis B virus easily establishes whether an individual is infected, and can stop liver damage from progressing.

- [Dr Clemens Jauch | Reinventing the Flywheel for Renewable Energy Storage](https://scitube.io/dr-clemens-jauch-reinventing-the-flywheel-for-renewable-energy-storage/) - Alternating current power systems rely on rotating electric machines, such as generators and motors, whose rotational speed form the power system frequency. The consumption of electric energy, and the generation of renewable energy, are subject to fluctuations, leading to variations in the power system frequency. To cope with this variability, electrical energy needs to be stored – for example in batteries. However, some energy will be wasted in the conversion from electrical alternating current to direct current energy, and from electrical direct current energy to chemical energy. This necessary energy conversion also increases the complexity of the power system.

Marine bacteria in these layers are of particular interest to scientists due to their impact on various oceanic processes. These bacteria play important roles in the production and decay of substances called surfactants. In turn, surfactants influence the formation of sea slicks – which are areas of calmer waters visible on the ocean’s surface. Surfactants affect how the ocean and atmosphere interact, influencing the exchange of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. They also help produce marine aerosols, tiny particles that impact cloud formation and climate.

Their findings reveal that the presumed transparency and simplicity of modern architecture actually obscure deep ethical and environmental issues.
- [Dr Suren Vasilyan | Measuring Microscopic Forces with Extreme Precision using Laser Beams](https://scitube.io/dr-suren-vasilyan-measuring-microscopic-forces-with-extreme-precision-using-laser-beams/) - Brillouin microscopy is a revolutionary imaging technology that offers detailed insights into the mechanical properties of cells and tissues. The technology relies on Brillouin light scattering. When light interacts with a material, it scatters in a way that depends on the material’s mechanical properties. This scattering causes a shift in the frequency of the light, which scientists can measure to determine stiffness and viscosity. This non-invasive technique allows living tissues to be studied in great detail without needing to use chemical labels or physical contact. The field of Brillouin microscopy has seen significant advancements over the past two decades, primarily driven by the development of high-resolution optical spectrometers.
- [Root Collar Excavation – ARR Solutions](https://scitube.io/root-collar-excavation-arr-solutions/) - Lazy summer afternoons are vastly improved by a delicious ripe peach. But what if one day peaches just disappeared? In this dystopia, people would find their grocer’s shelves starkly empty of peaches and other stone fruits. Unfortunately, this future scenario is far from fictional. A fungus is seriously threatening peach production in the southeastern United States. It infects and destroys the roots of fruit trees, later spreading into the trunk and killing the tree. The disease it causes, called Armillaria root rot, is the leading cause of premature peach tree decline in southeastern USA, costing growers around 8 million dollars in losses annually.

- [Dr. David Stoesz | Jane Crow and the Abolition of Family Policing](https://scitube.io/dr-david-stoesz-jane-crow-and-the-abolition-of-family-policing/) - The American child welfare system has a long history of injustice. Until recently, this was mainly experienced by low-income Black families, who are routinely surveilled by caseworkers. This brings the threat of investigation, arrest, and having their children taken away, placed in foster care, and frequently adopted. This is often referred to as Jane Crow. Some researchers have likened the child welfare system to professional kidnapping and have highlighted the prevalence of children aging-out of foster care only to become homeless.
- [Professor Damian Nance | The Role of Beam Engines in Forming the America We Know Today](https://scitube.io/professor-damian-nance-the-role-of-beam-engines-in-forming-the-america-we-know-today/) - Steam power was first brought to America in 1755, in the form of the beam engine. For much of the 1800s, it powered the nation’s progress. It enabled navigation of the country’s inland waterways, bolstered industry, facilitated mining, and supplied cities with water. In a recent paper, Professor Damian Nance of Ohio University tracks the importation and rapid development of the beam engine in America.

- [Professor Danica Fink-Hafner | What Influence do Political Parties Have on Anti-democratic Trends?](https://scitube.io/professor-danica-fink-hafner-what-influence-do-political-parties-have-on-anti-democratic-trends/) - The relationship between political parties and democracy is complex. Liberal thought at first didn’t even include political parties in the theory of democracy. In practice, however, factions and then parties gradually emerged. Since World War II, parties have often been seen as essential to representative democracy. Nevertheless, their role has evolved over time. During the last decade, undemocratic trends have been flourishing worldwide, raising questions about how political parties may have contributed. Some factors have been studied, but the research hasn’t been substantial or systematic.
- [Dr. Sunny Nakae | The Bias Breakers Workshop: Reducing Bias in Medical School Admissions](https://scitube.io/dr-sunny-nakae-the-bias-breakers-workshop-reducing-bias-in-medical-school-admissions/) - Unconscious bias influences the selection of candidates in all types of organizations. This is no different in medical school admissions, where bias often results in the exclusion of talented candidates whose backgrounds and experiences may differ from those of selectors. Bias in admissions perpetuates inequities within medical education, the healthcare workforce, and in health outcomes. Many academic institutions have implemented training to raise awareness of unconscious bias. However, these trainings typically do not teach skills for addressing and mitigating bias that stems from individual and structural sources.
- [Dr Sibylle Maria Kneissl | The Flipped Classroom: Facilitating Deeper Learning in Veterinary Education](https://scitube.io/dr-sibylle-maria-kneissl-the-flipped-classroom-facilitating-deeper-learning-in-veterinary-education/) - This term, the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna is implementing a new learning approach called ‘flipped classroom’. The flipped classroom approach reverses the conventional classroom environment. Instead of attending lectures and doing tasks at home, students first learn at home, share their opinions in an online forum, and then collaborate to complete assignments in the classroom. Traditional learning approaches typically control students’ learning, directing their thoughts and feelings. In contrast, flipped classrooms allow students to study in their own time, motivating them to take control of their own learning and receive guidance from teachers when they need it.
- [Dr Gabrielle Laloy-Borgna - Dr Stefan Catheline | Discovery of Flexural Waves in Blood Vessels Could Enable Accurate Cardiovascular Diagnostics](https://scitube.io/dr-gabrielle-laloy-borgna-dr-stefan-catheline-discovery-of-flexural-waves-in-blood-vessels-could-enable-accurate-cardiovascular-diagnostics/) - Arterial stiffness reflects our cardiovascular health and can reveal our risk of cardiovascular illness. This stiffness can be measured by assessing the speed of the waves that travel through our blood vessels as our heart beats. However, ultrasound measurements are too inaccurate for measuring wave speeds in certain blood vessels, while optical techniques are too inconsistent. Because of these issues, longitudinal waves are typically not measured in clinical settings. The key to measuring arterial stiffness may lie in assessing the right kind of waves.
- [Converting Medical Scans to 3D Models and Augmented Reality for Medical Education](https://scitube.io/converting-medical-scans-to-3d-models-and-augmented-reality-for-medical-education/) - Medical imaging has revolutionized our ability to non-invasively peer into the body and spot problems. However, interpreting such images correctly is a skilled task, requiring years of specialized training. Medical scans show a series of 2D images representing a cross-sectional view of the body; so, identifying specific features and understanding how the image relates to the patient’s body is not straightforward. While 3D medical images can sometimes be created by stacking 2D images together, this typically requires specialized computers, software, and training, making such imagery less accessible for medical education. Illustrative images that can be created quickly and cheaply could greatly enhance medical education and would also be beneficial for clinicians.
- [STINT: An Immersive STEM Internship Programme for Teachers](https://scitube.io/stint-an-immersive-stem-internship-programme-for-teachers/) - In recent years, educators and policymakers have been trying to improve education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics – or STEM. These efforts include programmes offering teachers hands-on experience in STEM workplaces, so that they can understand how the industry works and design relevant classroom activities. The rationale behind these programmes is that many teachers never experience STEM workplaces, which may limit their ability to bring real-world context into STEM education in the classroom.
- [Radialis: Organ-Targeted PET Imaging for Precision Medicine](https://scitube.io/radialis-organ-targeted-pet-imaging-for-precision-medicine/) - Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique widely used to diagnose and monitor cancer patients. Before undergoing a PET scan, a clinician injects radiotracers into a patient’s bloodstream, which accumulate in different tissues. These radiotracers emit radiation that can be detected by the PET scanner, resulting in an image that shows their distribution throughout the body. By analyzing the images, a clinician can identify problematic tissues based on differences in radiotracer distribution. For example, certain radiotracers accumulate more in cancer cells, meaning that tumors appear brighter on a PET image. Unfortunately, PET scans expose patients to potentially harmful amounts of ionizing radiation.
- [Professor Michael Shapira | Investigating the Role of Gut Microbes in Aging and Disease Using Tiny Worms](https://scitube.io/professor-michael-shapira-investigating-the-role-of-gut-microbes-in-aging-and-disease-using-tiny-worms/) - Our gut microbiome plays critical roles in health and disease. While our health typically deteriorates with age, the microbiome’s role in this process is not understood. Microbiome imbalances can develop with age, contributing to health issues. Research shows that taking microbes from young mice and placing them in the gut of old mice can reduce their aging markers and improve health. However, it has been difficult to pinpoint specific changes in younger or older microbiomes that could be used as therapeutic targets. Part of the difficulty lies in the variability in humans’ microbiomes, making it challenging to find trends.

- [Dr Bronwyn Maree Wilson | Revealing Differences in Communication Needs within Neurodiverse Relationships](https://scitube.io/dr-bronwyn-maree-wilson-revealing-differences-in-communication-needs-within-neurodiverse-relationships/) - Everyone deserves to have satisfying relationships, romantic or otherwise. Communication skills are hugely important in fostering affection and connection within such relationships. However, some couples and families may have more trouble communicating than others. For ‘neurodiverse’ relationships consisting of neurotypical and autistic people, communication can be particularly difficult. Autism involves differences in social interaction and communication. However, the extent to which these differences affect adults in neurodiverse relationships is largely unknown, as the majority of autism research focuses on children. To address this, Dr Bronwyn Maree Wilson of Edith Cowan University and colleagues have conducted a study into the communication issues experienced by neurodiverse couples and families.
- [Dr. Jennifer Wilson | A New Approach for Identifying Drug Interactions](https://scitube.io/dr-jennifer-wilson-a-new-approach-for-identifying-drug-interactions/) - Understanding how different drugs can interact with one another is vital for patient wellbeing. While some drug combinations can cause worsening symptoms or dangerous complications, others may alleviate symptoms and help the patient to recover more quickly. Therefore, knowing which drug combinations to pursue and which to avoid is critical. In many cases, the effects of drug combinations arise because two drugs bind to the same target protein, particularly if they share similar properties. However, this is not the case for all drug interactions.
- [Professor Kathryn Toghill | Storing Renewable Energy by Converting Carbon Dioxide to Formic Acid](https://scitube.io/professor-kathryn-toghill-storing-renewable-energy-by-converting-carbon-dioxide-to-formic-acid/) - Before they can replace fossil fuels entirely, wind and solar power plants will need to provide electricity to the grid at all times of the day, and in unpredictable weather conditions. To ensure a consistent output, renewable sources can be coupled with energy-storing batteries. Ideally, these batteries can be charged up when excess energy is generated, and then release their energy when the grid’s demand for power outpaces its supply. However, even the most well-designed battery systems only have a limited storage capacity. If this limit is exceeded, any excess energy will simply be wasted. One possible solution to this problem is to combine electrical batteries with chemical energy storage.
- [Professor Agata Mikolajczyk-Martinez | Dehydration, Heat and Chemotherapy Could Offer a Knockout Punch for Peritoneal Cancer](https://scitube.io/professor-agata-mikolajczyk-martinez-dehydration-heat-and-chemotherapy-could-offer-a-knockout-punch-for-peritoneal-cancer/) - When cancer spreads to the peritoneal cavity, where the stomach and intestines are located, the prognosis is typically poor. In many cases, peritoneal cancer is discovered at an advanced stage, and survival rates can be as low as three months. Such cancers appear as many tiny nodules on the outside of organs in the cavity, making surgical removal difficult. One option is to introduce chemotherapy drugs directly into the cavity, where they can bathe the outside of the organs. Heating the fluid containing the drug to approximately 43 degrees Celsius has been shown to improve effectiveness in killing the cancer. However, even with these enhancements, the treatment only helps a small proportion of patients. There is a clear need for more effective therapies.
- [Dr Laurie Durel - Laure Gosselin | How Conversations Shape the Effectiveness of New Climate Policies](https://scitube.io/dr-laurie-durel-laure-gosselin-how-conversations-shape-the-effectiveness-of-new-climate-policies/) - Climate change has become a topic of public discussion, no longer confined to scientists and politicians. Various stakeholders, including environmental NGOs and industry representatives, hold different perspectives on how to address climate change. This web of actors and ideas in a given political debate, combined with their interactions, is called a discursive field. Discursive fields influence our thinking and determine whether certain ideas gain political traction. They can enable or constrain the ability of political institutions to adopt new policies. As agreeing on efficient climate change policies becomes increasingly urgent, it is vital that we consider how discursive fields impact climate change policy.
- [Professor Kenneth Scheve - Professor David Stasavage | Why US Tax Policy Hasn’t Responded to Rising Inequality](https://scitube.io/professor-kenneth-scheve-professor-david-stasavage-why-us-tax-policy-hasnt-responded-to-rising-inequality/) - Whether policymaking can develop solutions for the inevitable problems that capitalism creates has long been a concern of political economists. One of these issues is rising inequality across the USA and other countries. Inequality is a significant risk for political stability, so it is vital to understand how democratic societies respond to it. Progressive taxation policies, which tax the rich at higher rates, can help to equalize incomes and wealth. Despite this, over the last four decades while inequality has increased, successive US governments have introduced falling tax rates for top earners. Why is this?
- [Dr Lars Wojtecki | Treating Alzheimer’s Disease with a New Brain Stimulation Technique](https://scitube.io/dr-lars-wojtecki-treating-alzheimers-disease-with-a-new-brain-stimulation-technique/) - Alzheimer’s disease is a brain disorder that causes problems with memory, mood, and the ability to perform daily activities. Although there are medicines available to ease the symptoms of Alzheimer’s, there is currently no cure. Therefore, patients slowly deteriorate over time due to neural damage that prevents the exchange of messages between cells. The search for a treatment to slow or even reverse the progression of the disease is ongoing. Recently, a new type of brain-stimulation therapy, called transcranial pulse stimulation, or TPS, has been approved for use in Alzheimer’s patients.

- [Dr Yong Cheng | New Insights into How Blood Cells are Produced](https://scitube.io/dr-yong-cheng-new-insights-into-how-blood-cells-are-produced-noyoutube/) - During the production of new blood cells, stem cells first develop into progenitor cells. These progenitor cells undergo further rounds of differentiation to produce different types of blood cells. Each type of blood cell has a different function. For example, red blood cells transport oxygen around the blood, whereas various types of white blood cells play different roles in fighting infection. However, overactive white blood cells also play a role in auto-immune conditions, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. As such, scientists are trying to better understand how blood cells develop, to find new ways of treating these conditions.
- [Professor Zhiliang Zhang | The Super-tough Coating that Repels Ice](https://scitube.io/professor-zhiliang-zhang-the-super-tough-coating-that-repels-ice-noyoutube/) - Ice can cause serious damage to vehicles and infrastructure, including aircraft, pavements, power lines, and wind turbines. It is important to remove ice before it causes damage, but doing this manually is often expensive and energy-intensive, and sometimes even dangerous. Researchers have begun to develop so-called ‘super-hydrophobic’ coatings, which can repel incoming water droplets before they freeze. This not only prevents ice from building up; it also weakens the adhesion of ice that does freeze to the surface, allowing it be removed more easily.
- [Understanding ALK+ Lung Cancer](https://scitube.io/understanding-alk-lung-cancer/) - If you have recently been diagnosed with ALK+ lung cancer, you likely have many questions.

- [GenBench: Mapping out the Landscape of Generalization Research](https://scitube.io/genbench-mapping-out-the-landscape-of-generalization-research/) - From ChatGPT to Google Gemini, large language models are now increasingly important in our everyday lives. These models are part of the field of natural language processing – or ‘NLP’ – which studies how machines understand and generate human language. Most NLP systems are built using machine learning, and vast amounts of language data are used as training material. Afterwards, a successfully trained model should be able to handle new scenarios. This ability is called ‘generalization’. For large language models that generalize well, a conversation about a topic it hasn’t been trained on, such as new scientific discoveries, should not be a problem.
- [Prof. Christian Bréchot | A New Therapeutic Avenue for Alzheimer’s and Diabetic Neuropathy](https://scitube.io/prof-christian-brechot-a-new-therapeutic-avenue-for-alzheimers-and-diabetic-neuropathy/) - Many diseases can emerge as we age, with metabolic disorders such as diabetes, and neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease, representing two reasonably common age-related illnesses. Many age-related diseases share common underlying mechanisms, including inflammation, a build-up of reactive oxygen molecules that can damage cellular components, and insulin insensitivity. Treatments that can target these mechanisms could have transformational effects on age-related diseases.
- [Investigating the Darker Side of AI and Its Impact on Human Relationships](https://scitube.io/investigating-the-darker-side-of-ai-and-its-impact-on-human-relationships/) - Scientists are developing increasingly sophisticated systems designed to replicate human interaction, ranging from chatbots to robots that offer companionship to humans.

Some have highlighted how these objects may have conferred elite authority on their owners. More recently, analysis has been grounded in postcolonial thought, which emphasises the agency of the native population involved in the exchange of artefacts. In a recent paper, Professor Louise Steel explores the Egyptian influence in the Late Bronze Age town of Enkomi in Cyprus.
- [Empowering Families with FRAIT: A Transformative Public Health Tool](https://scitube.io/empowering-families-with-frait-a-transformative-public-health-tool/) - Family resilience is the ability of a family to respond positively to an adverse situation, and emerge from the situation feeling strengthened, more resourceful and more confident than its prior state. The family is seen as a unit, and resilience refers to the family itself rather than the individual members. Families can be confronted with a multitude of challenges at any time. Those with newborn babies and young children are particularly vulnerable to stress. In the face of economic hardship, health crises, and other unforeseen adversities, it is remarkable to see families harnessing their resilience.
- [Professor Jorge Dominguez | Solving the Mystery of Vanishing Undocumented Mexican Migrants](https://scitube.io/professor-jorge-dominguez-solving-the-mystery-of-vanishing-undocumented-mexican-migrants/) - Hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants have been apprehended every year in recent years while trying to enter the US from Central American countries, including Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Mysteriously, however, the percentage of apprehended migrants from Mexico has dropped substantially. In 2004, US border patrol apprehended 1.1 million Mexicans, accounting for 9 out of 10 undocumented migrants that year. This number dropped to a low of 265 thousand in 2017 and then rose, to between 700 and 800 thousand in the early 2020s. So, what caused the number of undocumented Mexican migrants to plummet over time? Professor Jorge Dominguez recently set out to solve this mystery.
- [A Decision-Making Toolbox for Prioritising Ecological Restoration](https://scitube.io/a-decision-making-toolbox-for-prioritising-ecological-restoration/) - The fate of humanity is intricately intertwined with the state of the environment. Vital ecosystem services, such as freshwater provision, underpin food security, health, wellbeing, and economic prosperity. However, ecosystems everywhere face mounting challenges, including pollution and the impacts of climate change. Approximately one-quarter of the Earth’s land-based ecosystems suffer degradation, impacting over 41% of the global population. Without intervention, 95% could be degraded by 2050. Additionally, climate change presents a significant threat to water availability and the sustainability of ecosystems.
- [Professor Adèle Ehongo - Dr Noélie Bacq | Shedding Light on PICC: A Condition Associated with Visual Defects in People with Short-sightedness](https://scitube.io/professor-adele-ehongo-dr-noelie-bacq-shedding-light-on-picc-a-condition-associated-with-visual-defects-in-people-with-short-sightedness/) - Peripapillary intra-choroidal cavitation – or PICC – is a lesion that occurs at the back of the eye. This lesion is much more common in people with short-sightedness. PICC lesions occur around an area called the optic disc, where the optic nerve leaves the eyeball. While PICC is considered benign, it is frequently associated with visual defects resembling those seen in glaucoma, leading to diagnostic confusion. There is a need to better understand the condition to chart a path forward. Professor Adèle Ehongo and Dr Noélie Bacq of Erasmus Hospital in Brussels have written a review covering the latest data on PICC. Their goal is to pave the way for a greater understanding of PICC and its associated changes, to aid the development of new treatments.
- [Dr. Jill Ordynans | How Collaborative Critical Reflection Amongst Teachers is a Powerful Tool for Creating Change](https://scitube.io/dr-jill-ordynans-how-collaborative-critical-reflection-amongst-teachers-is-a-powerful-tool-for-creating-change/) - The pandemic was a stressful time for both students and teachers, leading to a worldwide call for improving how education is conceptualized and carried out in schools. As a result, there is a need for more supportive and effective teacher development approaches, as the voice of teachers is vital in deciding how to move forward. In a recent study, Dr. Jill Ordynans of Touro University and colleagues investigated how critical reflection can be incorporated in collaborative teaching communities. These communities have been offered as a humanizing way to support teachers in improving education.
- [Dr Xavier Alameda-Pineda | Evaluating the Potential of Social Robots in Geriatric Healthcare](https://scitube.io/dr-xavier-alameda-pineda-evaluating-the-potential-of-social-robots-in-geriatric-healthcare/) - Social robots will become increasingly widespread in the coming decades. So far, they have only been introduced in a few real-world environments, including some airports, museums, and hospitals. Dr Xavier Alameda-Pineda at Inria, the French National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology, and all the partners of the Horizon 2020 SPRING project recently set out to evaluate the potential of social robots in the context of geriatric healthcare.
- [Professor Anne Herrmann-Werner - Dr Teresa Festl-Wietek | An Innovative Approach to Medical Education Developed During the Pandemic](https://scitube.io/professor-anne-herrmann-werner-dr-teresa-festl-wietek-an-innovative-approach-to-medical-education-developed-during-the-pandemic/) - COVID-19 changed the world as we know it. Overnight, we needed to adapt to socially-distanced, online workplaces, schools and pastimes. Medical education was particularly affected by this; students were sent into virtual learning environments, while being prematurely thrust into frightening clinical settings to support frontline workers. This was problematic, given that medical students are already prone to psychological stress and above-average rates of mental disorders. However, it offered an opportunity to develop and embed innovative digital teaching concepts.
- [Professor Ee Ling Low | Cultivating Adaptive, Resilient Teachers for an Ever-Changing World](https://scitube.io/professor-ee-ling-low-cultivating-adaptive-resilient-teachers-for-an-ever-changing-world/) - We now live in an uncertain world, with constant and rapid changes in the climatic, technological, geopolitical, socio-economic and medical landscape. Students today will need to develop adaptability and resilience in order to thrive in this dynamic landscape. By recognizing the challenges that humanity faces, we can seize the opportunities they present. Education has a responsibility to address present concerns while preparing students for unanticipated future concerns. This prompts us to reconsider how we think about education, teaching and learning. To meet these demands, teachers need to be equipped with new skills during their preparation.
- [Professor Penelope Corfield | Key Changes in Daily Greetings in 18th Century Britain](https://scitube.io/professor-penelope-corfield-key-changes-in-daily-greetings-in-18th-century-britain/) - In 18th century Britain, deep bowing as a greeting slowly evolved into a touch of the cap for men, or quick bob for women. Simultaneously, a new form of greeting emerged: the handshake. How and why did the handshake gain popularity, becoming a standard greeting? This phenomenon is explored in a new essay published in the journal Urban History and authored by Professor Penelope Corfield of London University.
- [Professor Margie Lee | Combating Salmonella Infection by Exploring Microbial Competition in Chicken Guts](https://scitube.io/professor-margie-lee-combating-salmonella-infection-by-exploring-microbial-competition-in-chicken-guts/) - In the intricate dance of life, organisms vie for dominance, whether in vast forests or within the microcosm of your gut. The gut microbiome consists of a diversity of fungi, bacteria, and other microbes, continuously collaborating or competing in order to thrive. Competitive exclusion is the principle governing these interactions, whereby organisms may compete directly for space or nutrients, harm one another to gain an advantage, suppress each other’s growth, or even cooperate to suppress a shared rival. Professor Margie Lee of Virginia Tech and her colleagues delve into this microbial battleground, exploring how competitive exclusion mechanisms combat Salmonella bacteria in poultry intestines.
- [Professor John Maurer | Can Poultry Litter Spread Antibiotic Resistance?](https://scitube.io/professor-john-maurer-can-poultry-litter-spread-antibiotic-resistance/) - Poultry manure is not in short supply, with 20 million tons produced in the US annually. Typically, poultry are housed on bedding, such as wood shavings, and the resulting poultry litter is a prized organic fertilizer. However, poultry litter may also have a darker side, in the form of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. These superbugs can cause dangerous infections that are difficult to treat. Alarmingly, some superbugs can also pass on genes that confer antibiotic resistance to other bacteria in their environment. This phenomenon begs the question: “Can poultry litter spread antibiotic resistance throughout the environment?”
- [Dr Richard Gunton | A Pluralistic Evaluation Framework that Responds to the Complex Challenges We Face](https://scitube.io/dr-richard-gunton-a-pluralistic-evaluation-framework-that-responds-to-the-complex-challenges-we-face/) - Societies across the world are facing complex sustainability challenges. We are changing the climate, over-consuming resources, and failing to appreciate the connections between water, energy, and food systems. However, well-meaning policy responses can often produce unintended consequences and controversy, because important factors are overlooked. Many existing evaluation methods focus on accountability and whether a policy has achieved stated objectives. This does not address whether the outcomes have delivered real benefits in the eyes of all stakeholders. There is an urgent need for a more inclusive tool to shape and evaluate policies.
- [Professor Deborah Bleviss | Why a Long-admired Brazilian Public Transport System is More Relevant Than Ever](https://scitube.io/professor-deborah-bleviss-why-a-long-admired-brazilian-public-transport-system-is-more-relevant-than-ever/) - The Brazilian city of Curitiba became famous in the 1980s for its environmental strategies and public transportation system, introduced by three-time mayor, Jaime Lerner. Many leaders from around the world travelled to Curitiba to observe and try to copy what the city had accomplished. In recent years, however, with the political scandals, economic malaise and social problems that have dogged Brazil, some now question whether Curitiba remains a relevant model. In a recent paper, Professor Deborah Bleviss explains why the city’s experiences remain relevant today.
- [RECROP COST Action: Ensuring Sustainable Food Systems for Future Generations](https://scitube.io/recrop-cost-action-ensuring-sustainable-food-systems-for-future-generations/) - In a world increasingly shaped by the challenges of climate change, our agricultural systems face a threat that undermines food production worldwide. As the core of our diet relies heavily on plants, the increasing demand for higher yields to feed a growing population has never been more critical. Yet, this demand collides with the harsh reality of climate change: rising temperatures and heat waves, long droughts or heavy rainfalls and floods make our naturally stress-sensitive crops even more vulnerable.
- [Professor Anup Basu | Exploring Gender Inequality in Aging Couples’ Financial Management](https://scitube.io/professor-anup-basu-exploring-gender-inequality-in-aging-couples-financial-management/) - Among couples, gender inequality in financial decision-making remains prevalent, with men traditionally having more control over household finances. This issue is further complicated as couples age. Old age is associated with cognitive difficulties, resulting in a reduced capacity to make financial decisions. Professor Anup Basu at Queensland University of Technology studies the intersection of age, financial decision-making and gender. In a recent study, Professor Basu and colleagues examined how older married individuals delegate financial decision-making tasks to their spouses.
- [Dr Thomas Molony - Dr Robert Macdonald | How do Citizens View Election Observers in Zambia, The Gambia and Kenya?](https://scitube.io/dr-thomas-molony-dr-robert-macdonald-how-do-citizens-view-election-observers-in-zambia-the-gambia-and-kenya/) - Across the world, citizen and international election observers have been deployed to watch over polls, to improve electoral quality and transparency. Their presence is designed to reduce problems such as election-day fraud, voter suppression, and political violence. In African countries, observers have been commonly deployed since the 1990s. However, during recent elections across the continent, their role has been questioned. Some feel that their methods are flawed, while others have accused them of bias. Nevertheless, it is not clear how widespread these views are, as citizens’ perspectives are often missing from debate.
- [Dr. Ted Moore | Investigating Pits in the Pacific Ocean Seafloor](https://scitube.io/dr-ted-moore-investigating-pits-in-the-pacific-ocean-seafloor/) - Across the seafloor of the equatorial Pacific Ocean, scientists have discovered unusual pits. Similar depressions have been found around the world, caused by fluids escaping from sediments or salt dissolving in rocks below the seabed. However, during 40 years of drilling into the tropical Pacific Ocean’s seafloor, no one has found pressurized fluids to explain how these pits formed. Another mechanism for the creation of seafloor depressions is the flow of hot, hydrothermal fluids circulating in the upper crustal rocks.
- [Dr. Clare Jensen - Dr. Maggie O’Haire | Can Dogs Improve the Mental Wellbeing of Pediatric Healthcare Professionals?](https://scitube.io/dr-clare-jensen-dr-maggie-ohaire-can-dogs-improve-the-mental-wellbeing-of-pediatric-healthcare-professionals/) - Interacting with therapy dogs can have significant benefits for patients, such as reduced anxiety and pain. A growing number of pediatric healthcare facilities even have ‘facility dogs’, or full-time therapy dogs who are specially trained to work closely with staff. The positive impacts of these dogs on the wellbeing of pediatric patients are well documented. However, Dr. Clare Jensen, Dr. Maggie O’Haire, and their colleagues from Purdue University and the University of Arizona wished to investigate whether facility dogs also benefit pediatric healthcare workers. Professionals in these positions are at risk of experiencing poor mental health and burnout, so finding ways to reduce their stress would be invaluable.
- [Dr Yong Cheng | New Insights into How Blood Cells are Produced](https://scitube.io/dr-yong-cheng-new-insights-into-how-blood-cells-are-produced/) - During the production of new blood cells, stem cells first develop into progenitor cells. These progenitor cells undergo further rounds of differentiation to produce different types of blood cells. Each type of blood cell has a different function. For example, red blood cells transport oxygen around the blood, whereas various types of white blood cells play different roles in fighting infection. However, overactive white blood cells also play a role in auto-immune conditions, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. As such, scientists are trying to better understand how blood cells develop, to find new ways of treating these conditions.
- [The T1DRA Study: Screening Adults for Type 1 Diabetes](https://scitube.io/the-t1dra-study-screening-adults-for-type-1-diabetes/) - Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks and destroys pancreatic cells that produce insulin. Near to diagnosis, people cannot produce enough insulin, meaning that their blood sugar levels can become dangerously high. Some people associate type 1 diabetes with children, but more than half of type 1 diabetes patients are diagnosed in adulthood. Researchers know very little about how the condition develops in adults. The Type 1 Diabetes Risk in Adults – or ‘T1DRA’ – Study is actively screening adults through a small blood sample to determine their risk of type 1 diabetes.
- [Professor Xiaobei Li | How Companies Can Harness HR Management to Thrive in a Changing World](https://scitube.io/professor-xiaobei-li-how-companies-can-harness-hr-management-to-thrive-in-a-changing-world/) - Companies today exist in a changing world, bringing both opportunities for growth and increasingly complex challenges. To survive and thrive, organisations need a robust understanding of HR management. Professor Xiaobei Li at Shanghai Business School and colleagues from various universities recently explored how companies can harness HR management to motivate their staff, towards ensuring high performance into the future.
- [Professor Erik Folven | Gaining Tighter Control Over Artificial Spin Ices for Technological Applications](https://scitube.io/professor-erik-folven-gaining-tighter-control-over-artificial-spin-ices-for-technological-applications/) - The energy demands required to operate our increasingly connected society is unsustainable. Data-centres, the Internet of Things, and Artificial Intelligence all create unsustainable power demands. As such, new energy-efficient technologies are needed to fulfil humanity’s computing needs into the future. Spin-based technologies could greatly reduce the energy requirements of computing. One reason that such technologies are more energy efficient is that far less energy is wasted as heat. Additionally, computation and memory can both occur within the same spin-based device. One promising spin-based technology is artificial spin ice (ASI).
- [Dr. Matthew Sherrer | The Infinite Game: Changing an Adversarial Mindset in Anesthesia and Beyond](https://scitube.io/dr-matthew-sherrer-the-infinite-game-changing-an-adversarial-mindset-in-anesthesia-and-beyond/) - Anesthesia in the US is commonly delivered by physician anesthesiologists who medically direct certified registered nurse anesthetists in a collaborative care team model. However, in over 20 states, there is no requirement for nurse anesthetists to be medically directed, allowing them to work independently. This has resulted in a bitter turf war over the rights and responsibilities of physicians and advanced practice nurses, leading to a toxic working environment. This mindset can be compared with a ‘finite game’, where there are clear winners and losers. Unfortunately, the patient is the ultimate loser.
- [Professor Dawn Roberts-Semple | Measuring Air Pollution with Inexpensive Passive Diffusion Tubes](https://scitube.io/professor-dawn-roberts-semple-measuring-air-pollution-with-inexpensive-passive-diffusion-tubes/) - Air pollutants, such as nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone, are a significant threat to public health, contributing to respiratory symptoms and cardiovascular disease. Such pollutants are often caused by traffic emissions, and tend to accumulate in urban areas. Assessing when and where such pollutants tend to be present at dangerous levels is important for protecting public health, but concentrations may vary dramatically and can be influenced by wind patterns, temperature, traffic levels and urban architecture.
- [Dr. Ze (Mia) Zhu | The Promise of Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions in Organizational Settings](https://scitube.io/dr-ze-mia-zhu-the-promise-of-just-in-time-adaptive-interventions-in-organizational-settings/) - The emotional state and job performance of an employee can greatly fluctuate over minutes, hours and days. Towards supporting employee wellbeing and maximizing productivity, Dr. Ze (Mia) Zhu at the University of Nebraska Omaha and her colleagues at George Mason University recently explored the potential of Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions – or JITAIs. JITAIs encourage positive change in organizations, by intervening at the right moment and in the right context.
- [Dr Claudia Manzi - Dr Eleonora Crapolicchio | How Companies Can Retain Young Workers](https://scitube.io/dr-claudia-manzi-dr-eleonora-crapolicchio-how-companies-can-retain-young-workers/) - Younger workers will have a far higher number of jobs throughout their careers, compared to previous generations. Accordingly, they display lower organisational commitment than the baby boomer generation. It is thus more important than ever for companies to understand how to attract and retain talent. The person-organisation fit theory is often used to assess the relationship between an organisation and its employees. It measures the compatibility between workers and organizations in terms of needs, values, interests, and behaviour, taking into consideration the company’s culture, mission, and strategy.
- [Dr Martin Haesemeyer | A Deep-learning Framework that Links Brain Activity with Behavior](https://scitube.io/dr-martin-haesemeyer-a-deep-learning-framework-that-links-brain-activity-with-behavior/) - Neuroscientists have been trying to uncover the relationships between brain activity and behavior for decades. Identifying these links could shed new light on the functions of different brain regions, while also highlighting possible therapeutic targets for psychological disorders. In recent years, researchers have gathered a vast amount of brain activity recordings alongside data describing the behavior of animals or humans while these recordings were collected. Recent advances in deep-learning algorithms have now opened new possibilities for analyzing this wide pool of data.

An Innovative Project to Understand their Cultural Significance](https://scitube.io/professor-helen-fulton-who-were-the-marcher-lords-an-innovative-project-to-understand-their-cultural-significance/) - The March of Wales refers to an area north to south along what is now the border between England and Wales. This region was first penetrated by Norman barons after 1066. Although the Welsh fought to hold their ancient kingdoms, the Normans were securely established by the mid-1200s. When, in 1282, Edward I killed the most powerful Welsh ruler, Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, independent Wales was conquered. Some areas became Crown possessions, while others were distributed to Marcher lords. This created a Marcher aristocracy that shaped the culture of the region for the next three centuries.
- [Dr Philip Norcott | Improving Nuclear Magnetic Resonance with SABRE-DREAM](https://scitube.io/dr-philip-norcott-improving-nuclear-magnetic-resonance-with-sabre-dream/) - Opioid use disorder has been on the rise in the USA, fueled by an increased availability of fentanyl and other opioids. Current gold-standard treatments involve using opioid agonist drugs, such as methadone or buprenorphine alone or in combination with opioid antagonists, to address cravings and withdrawal. However, these treatments suffer from high levels of patient relapse and can pose safety risks. A promising alternative lies in using hallucinogenic compounds that can enable ‘neuroplasticity’, which means changing the brain’s neural architecture, potentially allowing patients to overcome their addictive behaviors.

- [Professor Ronald De Sousa | Exploring the Contribution of Philosophy to Empirical Sciences](https://scitube.io/professor-ronald-de-sousa-exploring-the-contribution-of-philosophy-to-empirical-sciences/) - The term ‘scientist’ was invented just under 200 years ago. What we now call ‘science’ was then known as ‘natural philosophy’. Since then, we’ve made a clear distinction between philosophy and the empirical sciences, to the extent that they are often perceived to be unrelated. However, it may be a mistake to divide human quest for knowledge in this way. Professor Ronald De Sousa at the University of Toronto argues that philosophy and science are inextricably linked. For him, you cannot escape philosophy when you are thinking about anything systematically and scientifically.
- [Dr Mariëlle Stel - Janina Eggers - Dr Wladimir Alonso | Promoting a Plant-based Transition to Reduce Zoonotic Diseases](https://scitube.io/dr-marielle-stel-janina-eggers-dr-wladimir-alonso-promoting-a-plant-based-transition-to-reduce-zoonotic-diseases/) - Zoonotic diseases are infections that are transmitted from animals to humans and vice versa. For example, COVID-19 has been designated as a zoonotic disease. In fact, three-quarters of all new infectious human diseases originate in animals, making zoonotic diseases a major threat to public health. The rapid rise in intensive farming over the past 50 years has significantly increased the risk of zoonosis. For instance, the world’s chicken population has almost tripled since 1990, with most of these birds being farmed indoors in crowded conditions. Not only are these conditions stressful for the animals, but poultry farming is responsible for hundreds of human deaths caused by bird flu.
- [Professor Amy MacNeill | Combining a Virus and Immunotherapy to Treat Cancer in Dogs](https://scitube.io/professor-amy-macneill-combining-a-virus-and-immunotherapy-to-treat-cancer-in-dogs/) - Soft-tissue sarcomas are a common type of tumor found in dogs, which can arise in connective, muscle, or nervous tissues. These soft-tissue cancers typically require surgical removal, but often grow back if some cancer cells remain. Using a therapeutic virus could help to reduce the possibility of the tumor regrowing. However, no such viruses are available to treat dogs, and canine cancer cells can generate specific biomolecules, such as interferons, that inhibit viral replication. One option may be to co-treat the dogs with a drug that inhibits the action of interferons while administering the virus, to maximize the chances of success.
- [Dr Mats Ljungman | KLIPP: Targeting Cancer with CRISPR](https://scitube.io/dr-mats-ljungman-klipp-targeting-cancer-with-crispr/) - Cancer treatments are designed to kill cells within a tumor, but they often affect healthy tissues, leading to serious side-effects. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop new approaches that specifically aim for targets that are unique for tumor cells. A common and early event in carcinogenesis is the formation of chromosomal structural variants. These rearrangements are unique for each tumor and contribute to the growth of the tumor. Structural variants in cancer cells create unique junctions of DNA sequences, which are typically located far apart in normal cells. Thus, these junctions represent a promising new target for precision cancer treatment.
- [Dr Elif Miskioğlu - Dr Kaela Martin - Dr Adam Carberry | Fostering Intuition in Engineering Students to Solve 21st Century Challenges](https://scitube.io/dr-elif-miskioglu-dr-kaela-martin-dr-adam-carberry-fostering-intuition-in-engineering-students-to-solve-21st-century-challenges/) - Experienced engineers typically have advanced technical knowledge and unique skillsets. Many also develop impressive intuition through years of experience, which helps them to devise solutions to complex real-world problems. Cultivating such intuition in engineering students could better equip them to tackle humanity’s increasingly complex challenges. Before we can design classroom interventions that foster intuition in prospective engineers, we need methods that can reliably assess intuition. Using such methods, the effectiveness of a given intervention could be measured by assessing students’ intuition before and after they take part.
- [Dorothy Goulah-Pabst | Navigating Suicide Loss: A Survivor Study](https://scitube.io/dorothy-goulah-pabst-navigating-suicide-loss-a-survivor-study/) - Those left behind after the suicide of a loved one often experience complex grief that can involve feelings of self-blame, abandonment and rejection. The stigma surrounding suicide can also underly rejection by their community, further increasing the psychological burden that survivors face. Understanding the challenges of suicide loss survivors, and identifying the most effective ways to support them, is important in helping survivors to heal and move forward with their lives. Towards this aim, Dorothy Goulah-Pabst from California State University Northridge conducted a study to learn more about the experiences of suicide loss survivors.
- [Professor Mark Pickup | Cultivating Canadian National Identity to Reduce Trump’s Influence on Social Norms](https://scitube.io/professor-mark-pickup-cultivating-canadian-national-identity-to-reduce-trumps-influence-on-social-norms/) - Many researchers today are dedicated to the discovery of new medicines. Over the past few decades, their tireless efforts have culminated in a database of around 100 million known drug molecules. This value may already sound vast, but by current estimates, the true number of small drug-like molecules could actually range anywhere between 1023 – already more than the number of grains of sand on Earth – and 1060 – comparable to the number of atoms in an entire galaxy. With existing approaches, researchers ultimately need to test the medical potential of these molecules individually, taking up vast amounts of time and computing power.

A small, affluent pocket of the population obtains their income from salary and assets, whilst the larger, less affluent population receives only labour earnings. Because of these different sources of income, it is likely that economic shocks and resulting fiscal policies affect these groups in different ways. Policy experiments are a tool used by economists to explore the impact of different fiscal policies, such as taxation and public spending. For example, they might seek to understand policy responses to economic expansions and contractions, and their outcomes on inequality.
- [Professor Meng Li | How Loss-averse Behaviour of Individuals Affects National Economic Systems](https://scitube.io/professor-meng-li-how-loss-averse-behaviour-of-individuals-affects-national-economic-systems/) - Loss aversion is a concept in behavioural economics that refers to the tendency of people to strongly prefer avoiding losses rather than acquiring equivalent gains. Put simply, individuals often feel the negative emotions of losing something more intensely than the positive emotions of gaining it. For example, if someone is given £100 and loses £50, they are likely to feel much worse than if they had simply been given £50, despite an equal net gain. These behavioural patterns mean that people make very different decisions than traditional economic theories predict.
- [Dr Yujeong Bae | Advancing Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy for Quantum Information Processing](https://scitube.io/dr-yujeong-bae-advancing-scanning-tunnelling-microscopy-for-quantum-information-processing/) - The ability to manipulate single atoms and molecules would transform how we store and process digital information. This can be achieved using a cutting-edge technique named scanning tunnelling microscopy. Scanning tunnelling microscopes (STMs) are powerful imaging devices, which operate by holding a sharp metal tip less than one nanometre above a conducting sample. Through the effects of quantum tunnelling, electrons can pass through the tiny vacuum gap between the tip and the sample surface.
- [Jostein Mattingsdal | Understanding How Police and Military Cooperate in a Time of Hybrid Warfare](https://scitube.io/jostein-mattingsdal-understanding-how-police-and-military-cooperate-in-a-time-of-hybrid-warfare/) - Hybrid warfare refers to military strategies that blend conventional warfare with practices such as insurgency, terrorism, cyberattacks, and disinformation campaigns. This has blurred the lines between wartime and peace in an unprecedented way. As a consequence, decision-makers in both the police force and the military are required to cooperate and accommodate each other’s differences. This makes it difficult for police and military commanders to identify the strategic context in which they are operating. Many experts are now asking the question: Are existing security concepts compatible with the challenges of today’s hybrid warfare?
- [Professor Elliot Bendoly | OUtCoMES: A New Framework to Guide Analytical Evidence-based Projects](https://scitube.io/professor-elliot-bendoly-outcomes-a-new-framework-to-guide-analytical-evidence-based-projects/) - Making the best, practical use of analysis, is often far from straightforward. Less than half of analytics projects succeed. Professor Elliot Bendoly, of the Ohio State University’s Fisher School of Business, has been working with colleagues and industry professionals to advance a modern project-management framework, the OUtCoMES Cycle, which aims to avoid these lost opportunities.

While vaccines have been successful in providing protection for the majority of the population, recent waves of the virus have highlighted challenges such as decreased vaccine protection, leaving certain individuals vulnerable to severe illness and even death. The ongoing challenges of low vaccine uptake and public complacency emphasize the need for continued research into effective therapies for COVID-19.
- [Dr Martin Van Den Berghe | Combatting Climate Change with Microbe-Enhanced Rock Weathering](https://scitube.io/dr-martin-van-den-berghe-combatting-climate-change-with-microbe-enhanced-rock-weathering/) - In the fight against climate change, carbon capture and storage technologies are widely seen as a critical tool in avoiding the worst effects of global warming. The problem is being approached from many different angles, but many proposed solutions have a long way to go before they can have any meaningful impact on the health of Earth’s climate. According to Dr Martin Van Den Berghe at Cytochrome Technologies, one of the most promising approaches to carbon capture could be to enhance a chemical mechanism that has naturally shaped Earth’s geology for billions of years.
- [Dr Gabriel Popescu | Reconstructing the History of a Prehistoric Society in the Eastern Balkans](https://scitube.io/dr-gabriel-popescu-reconstructing-the-history-of-a-prehistoric-society-in-the-eastern-balkans/) - When studying the earliest human societies, researchers use a combination of archaeological records and radiocarbon dating to create comprehensive models of population patterns. By applying advanced mathematical techniques, they can now estimate the changing sizes and distributions of ancient human populations and make more informed inferences about how societies were structured. In many regions, these models have allowed researchers to better understand the social and environmental changes that shaped the prehistoric world.
- [Professor Michael Belin | New Tools for Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Keratoconus](https://scitube.io/professor-michael-belin-new-tools-for-early-diagnosis-and-treatment-of-keratoconus/) - Keratoconus is an eye disease affecting millions of individuals worldwide. The condition causes the transparent layer on the front of the eye, named the cornea, to become progressively thinner and irregularly shaped. Keratoconus causes distorted or blurred vision, increases light sensitivity, and can severely impact one’s ability to function. The first signs of keratoconus typically emerge in children as young as 8 years old. However, the disease usually remains undiagnosed until several years later, due to a lack of reliable screening tests and the tendency of affected individuals to only seek help when their vision has become significantly impaired.
- [Professor Herbert Kritzer | How Does the Format of Ballots Affect Participation in Judicial Elections?](https://scitube.io/professor-herbert-kritzer-how-does-the-format-of-ballots-affect-participation-in-judicial-elections/) - Unlike virtually every other country in the world, the United States uses popular elections to select or retain many judges. This practice has long been controversial, often due to the tension between independence and accountability. However, there are many other issues that this system raises, such as informed voting. Research shows that many people who cast ballots for top-of-ticket political offices, such as president and governor, fail to vote in judicial elections – even though they are included lower down on the same ballot. This phenomenon is called ‘roll-off’.

Klein | Understanding Neuroprotection in Viral and Autoimmune Diseases of the Central Nervous System](https://scitube.io/professor-robyn-s-klein-understanding-neuroprotection-in-viral-and-autoimmune-diseases-of-the-central-nervous-system/) - Viral and autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system – or ‘CNS’ – are often characterized by the onset of inflammation leading to neurological dysfunction, including impairments in memory and cognition. Dr. Robyn Klein at Western University in London, Ontario leads a team that specializes in neuroinflammatory diseases of the CNS. In recent years, her laboratory has been focusing on the molecular mechanisms behind inflammation and how they regulate blood-brain barrier permeability in viral and autoimmune diseases.
- [Dr Olga Golubeva | How to Use Accounting to Facilitate Sustainable Development](https://scitube.io/dr-olga-golubeva-how-to-use-accounting-to-facilitate-sustainable-development/) - Since the 1980s, the three sustainability directions, including social, environmental, and economic pillars, have guided theoretical developments and policy-making efforts worldwide. Dr Olga Golubeva at Stockholm Business School, Stockholm University, explored the potential of accounting to contribute to the three pillars framework. Olga capitalises on the ability of the accounting discipline to reflect and record organisational and social surroundings.
- [Fiona Niebuhr | Exploring Employees’ Abilities to Adapt to Flexible Working Conditions](https://scitube.io/fiona-niebuhr-exploring-employees-abilities-to-adapt-to-flexible-working-conditions/) - The world of work is continuously transforming, due to innovation and global competition. This has intensified due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which drove changes in our working lives. Many employees are now given more flexibility and autonomy to shape their own work. This can be positive for employees, as it shifts the workforce away from traditional top-down approaches, in which workers have little agency. However, it can also be a burden that is forced upon employees who have little choice but to take on this responsibility.
- [Amit Kumar | A Circular Economy for Electric Vehicle Batteries](https://scitube.io/amit-kumar-a-circular-economy-for-electric-vehicle-batteries/) - Electric vehicles – or EVs – are a cornerstone for curbing greenhouse gas emissions. They’re far better for the environment than their fossil-fuel-burning counterparts, but there’s one major catch: the toxic materials found in their batteries still present a serious environmental risk. So, how can we address this? By embracing a circular economy for EV batteries! In a circular economy, used batteries are repurposed for a second life, or are recycled to recover strategic raw materials, which can be processed further to manufacture new batteries. But before we get there, there are a number of hurdles to overcome.
- [Professor David Pion-Berlin | Was the January 6th Storming of the US Capitol a Self-coup?](https://scitube.io/professor-david-pion-berlin-was-the-january-6th-storming-of-the-us-capitol-a-self-coup/) - The storming of the US Capitol on January 6th 2021 was a shocking event for many. Citizens pushed past Capitol police, causing property damage and threatening congresspeople and the Vice President. Five people died in the attack. Participants included armed members of right-wing militias, terrorist groups, neo-Nazi organizations, and conspiratorial groups such as Q-Anon. Nothing similar had been seen since the British burned the Capitol building to the ground during the War of 1812. Immediately afterwards, scholars and the media attempted to understand what had happened. Commentators had a range of viewpoints, describing the event as an insurrection, a mob invasion, sedition, a legitimate protest, a rebellion, and a coup.
- [Dr Alexandros Grammatis | The Role of Sperm Quality in IVF Outcomes](https://scitube.io/dr-alexandros-grammatis-the-role-of-sperm-quality-in-ivf-outcomes/) - In vitro fertilisation – or IVF – has allowed many couples with fertility issues to conceive. However, the relationships between different types of infertility and IVF outcomes are not yet fully understood. Male infertility can include non‐obstructive azoospermia, where sperm are not present in the ejaculate, and oligozoospermia, also known as a ‘low sperm count’. Men with these conditions can still have biological children through techniques such as surgical retrieval of sperm from the testes, in the case of azoospermia, and subsequent injection of an individual sperm into an egg cell. Identifying the effects of male infertility phenomena on subsequent IVF and pregnancy outcomes is important, so that couples can make informed decisions.
- [How Schools Re-opening after Lockdowns Affected Parents’ Participation in the Workforce](https://scitube.io/how-schools-re-opening-after-lockdowns-affected-parents-participation-in-the-workforce/) - When the COVID-19 pandemic hit Canada in March 2020, schools across the country were shut within a few days. Children were homeschooled with varying levels of online support, which affected the working lives of many parents.
- [Dr Alvin Orbaek White | Advancing Energy Technologies with Ultralong Carbon Nanotubes](https://scitube.io/dr-alvin-orbaek-white-advancing-energy-technologies-with-ultralong-carbon-nanotubes/) - Carbon nanotubes are a unique family of molecules that look like tiny carbon tunnels with honeycomb walls. They are typically around 1 nanometre in diameter and several nanometres long. In principle, carbon nanotubes are much more efficient at conducting electricity than metals, especially since they are so lightweight and have high-temperature stability compared to metals. So far, however, their full potential has been limited by the techniques used to manufacture them.
- [Dr Aaron Tallman | Assessing Uncertainties When Measuring 3D Printed Metal Parts](https://scitube.io/dr-aaron-tallman-assessing-uncertainties-when-measuring-3d-printed-metal-parts/) - The ability to 3D print metal parts presents exciting opportunities to simplify the designs of many advanced technologies, and improve their performance. However, on microscopic scales, printed metals can have defects that cause their mechanical properties to vary unpredictably, lowering the quality of final products. To assess these variations, researchers use a technique named profilometry-based indentation plastometry, or PIP. This technique involves pressing a hard tip into a material on a flat surface, and then scanning a probe across the crater to measure the shape left behind.
- [Professor Peter Grindrod | Cognition and Consciousness Entwined](https://scitube.io/professor-peter-grindrod-cognition-and-consciousness-entwined/) - Humans experience internal sensations in response to the external world: we don’t just think or process – we experience. These sensations range from emotions, such as love, anxiety, embarrassment; to more subtle experiences, known as ‘qualia’. Qualia include the pain of a headache, the response to a sunset, or to stroking pets. Humans’ inner mental life poses the hard problem of consciousness: understanding how and why we have such internal sensations. Neuroscience explores how brains process sensory information to make inferences and analyse external situations. This is called cognition, and it may result in actions. Consciousness refers to our inner sensations.
- [Dr Kerstin Kleinschmidt-Doerr | Could R399E Become a Potential Treatment for Restoring Joints and Relieving Pain in Osteoarthritis?](https://scitube.io/dr-kerstin-kleinschmidt-doerr-could-r399e-become-a-potential-treatment-for-restoring-joints-and-relieving-pain-in-osteoarthritis/) - Osteoarthritis is a painful and debilitating condition that affects hundreds of millions of people. The condition significantly affects a patient’s mobility, sleep, and ability to work, ultimately impacting their quality of life and mental health. Treatments involve exercise or medication to reduce pain, but they don’t target underlying structural problems in the joints. Additionally, these treatments do not slow or stop the progression of the disease, and may have serious side-effects on organs such as the liver, kidneys or heart. The search for a treatment that can reduce osteoarthritis pain and treat the affected joint structures remains a ‘substantial unmet medical need’.
- [Dr Rogier Hopstaken | A Simple Point-of-Care Test to Combat Antibiotic Resistance](https://scitube.io/dr-rogier-hopstaken-a-simple-point-of-care-test-to-combat-antibiotic-resistance/) - While antibiotics are an essential tool for treating disease, their effectiveness in preventing severe illness and death is under threat. Antibiotic resistance is now one of the biggest dangers to global health. When a bacterial infection is treated with antibiotics, certain bacteria in a patient may hold genetic mutations that allow them to evade destruction. These resistant bacteria can become more severe and spread further, requiring stronger antibiotics or potentially leading to the patient’s death. Around 5 million deaths were related to antibiotic resistance in 2019 alone, and cases are predicted to rise.
- [Dr. Marna Ericson | New Techniques to Diagnose Dangerous Bartonella Infections](https://scitube.io/dr-marna-ericson-new-techniques-to-diagnose-dangerous-bartonella-infections/) - Bartonella bacteria, which hide in blood, skin, and many other tissues, are known to contribute to a diverse range of human diseases, with symptoms including with symptoms including – but not limited to – swollen lymph nodes, joint and back pain, skin lesions, weakness, headache, dizziness, cardiac conditions and psychiatric symptoms. Humans are exposed to Bartonella through contact with fleas, lice, sand flies, deer flies, possibly mites, spiders and ticks, and bites from infected animals.
- [Professor Brian Hudson | A New Research Framework to Improve Teaching and Knowledge Transformation](https://scitube.io/professor-brian-hudson-a-new-research-framework-to-improve-teaching-and-knowledge-transformation/) - Curriculum theory, which aims to analyse and shape the future of education, has not yet adequately addressed the significant societal changes of the late 20th century. Instead, scholars of the field have largely been concerned with implementing education policy, training teachers, and developing educational content.
- [Could the COVID-19 Pandemic Lead to Equality for Essential Workers?](https://scitube.io/could-the-covid-19-pandemic-lead-to-equality-for-essential-workers/) - When governments implemented lockdowns and social distancing measures to curb the spread of COVID-19, many workers were deemed ‘essential’ and were required to continue working as normal. These workers included grocery store staff, healthcare workers, farm laborers and many others.
- [Human Services Research Institute | Enhancing the Well-being of Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities](https://scitube.io/human-services-research-institute-enhancing-the-well-being-of-adults-with-intellectual-and-developmental-disabilities/) - Intellectual and developmental disabilities, or IDD for short, are associated with conditions such as Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, and autism spectrum disorder. People with these conditions may require supports to communicate with others, learn new things, live independently, or socialize. While there are many interventions that support people with IDD, the potential effects of these interventions on well-being are not fully understood.
- [Professors Wright, Boun & Chan | How Multilingual Education Helped Cambodia Boost Indigenous Student Enrolment](https://scitube.io/how-multilingual-education-helped-cambodia-boost-indigenous-student-enrolment/) - Cambodia has had a tragic past, including a genocide and over a decade of civil war. However, since the mid-1990s, there has been relative peace, stability, and rapid development. Cambodia has made impressive progress rebuilding its education system and committing to universal educational access. By 2008, enrolment rates across Cambodia had risen to 92%. However, indigenous ethnic minority children in the remote villages of the northeastern provinces proved hardest to reach, in large part due to language barriers.
- [Investigating the Effectiveness of Uthever for Promoting Healthy Aging](https://scitube.io/investigating-the-effectiveness-of-uthever-for-promoting-healthy-aging/) - Modern medicine has greatly extended our life expectancy. However, elderly people tend to experience many health issues, leading to significant suffering and a greater need for healthcare services. As such, it is important to find new ways to increase the number of years that we remain healthy into old age. One simple way to achieve this is to develop treatments that are specifically designed to reduce or reverse some of the biochemical hallmarks of aging.
- [Dr Juan Perez Torreglosa | eCCoSHIP (project UHU-202051): A New Heat Recovery System to Reduce the Carbon Footprint of Shipping](https://scitube.io/dr-juan-perez-torreglosa-eccoship-a-new-heat-recovery-system-to-reduce-the-carbon-footprint-of-shipping/) - Shipping is a major contributor to climate change, responsible for emitting almost 1 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. If global shipping were a country, it would be the sixth largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world, surpassed only by the USA, China, India, Japan, and Russia. The majority of commercial shipping fleets use high-power diesel engines for propulsion. About half of the energy generated by these diesel engines is lost as heat through the exhaust gases, leading to reduced efficiency and increased emissions per journey. Alongside a multidisciplinary team, Dr Juan Perez Torreglosa of the University of Huelva is exploring how to effectively capture heat energy from exhaust gases, converting it into electricity.

Understanding Racism and Racial Inequality in British University Sport](https://scitube.io/dr-gavin-ward-a-level-playing-field-understanding-racism-and-racial-inequality-in-british-university-sport/) - Racial inequalities exist in most social institutions. This challenges the common narrative that we live in a ‘post-racial’ era. The way in which racism plays out in both higher education and sport has long interested scholars. Higher education is increasingly under pressure to address issues of equity and inclusion. In sport, experiences of racial inequality and abuse are reported by athletes, coaches and spectators. University sport sits at the intersection of both higher education and sport, providing a useful context for academics to explore how racism is experienced within institutions.
- [Bethany Johnson | Exploring Community Responses to the Plague in the 16th Century](https://scitube.io/bethany-johnson-exploring-community-responses-to-the-plague-in-the-16th-century/) - By the second half of the 16th Century, the British Isles had experienced more than two centuries of periodic plague outbreaks. As a result, town councils were well equipped to rapidly implement a range of policies to protect public health. In response to the threat of plague, officials quickly enacted controls on the importation of goods and limits on the number of people traveling between municipalities. Locals or out-of-town workers were hired to care for the ill, bury the dead, clean the streets, and fumigate houses.
- [Professor Jozina de Graaf | Improving Outcomes Following Lower Limb Amputation](https://scitube.io/professor-jozina-de-graaf-improving-outcomes-following-lower-limb-amputation/) - After the amputation of a lower limb, amputees can learn to walk with an artificial replacement for that limb known as a prosthesis. This can be challenging, however, due to the loss of somatosensory information such as the perception of touch and pressure coming from the foot. For the majority of amputees, their lost limb can still be perceived through a phenomenon known as phantom limb, in which a painless tingling or a warm sensation is often felt where the limb used to be.
- [Michael Bevington | Does Radiation from Mobile Phones and Wi-Fi Affect Human Health?](https://scitube.io/michael-bevington-does-radiation-from-mobile-phones-and-wi-fi-affect-human-health/) - Electromagnetic hypersensitivity, or EHS, is a condition in which individuals experience a variety of symptoms from non-ionising electromagnetic radiation. Such radiation includes Wi-Fi and mobile phone signals. A scientific consensus international report by 32 experts argues that there is sufficient evidence for electromagnetic hypersensitivity to be acknowledged as a distinct neuropathological disorder. However, some scientists still only accept the adverse ‘thermal effects’ of non-ionising electromagnetic radiation, such as a rise in body temperature. Such scientists confuse instances of electromagnetic hypersensitivity with a psychological fear of electromagnetic devices.
- [Professor Simon Roberts | Why African Countries Experience High Food Prices and What We Can Do About It](https://scitube.io/professor-simon-roberts-why-african-countries-experience-high-food-prices-and-what-we-can-do-about-it/) - African countries are facing huge challenges around the availability, cost, and quality of food. These countries are import-dependent and disproportionately affected by global price hikes, while many are also undergoing rapid urbanisation which increases demand. These problems need an effective response to ensure the provision of affordable, healthy food. Professor Simon Roberts and his colleagues at the University of Johannesburg recently explored why high food prices are found in African countries, and suggest urgent solutions for addressing food scarcity, instability, and unaffordability.
- [Sabine Grüner-Lempart - Julian Eckert | Removing Industrial Pollution with Bacteria](https://scitube.io/sabine-gruner-lempart-julian-eckert-removing-industrial-pollution-with-bacteria/) - Harmful chemicals are commonplace in many different industries. Volatile organic compounds – or ‘VOCs’ – represent one such type of chemicals, which are particularly prevalent in industries that require spraying of paints and coatings. Unfortunately, VOCs can readily evaporate into the air, potentially harming people’s health through inhalation. Some VOCs are also environmental pollutants and can even contribute to climate change.
- [Dr Min Yang | Maximising Efficiency in Wastewater Treatment Tanks](https://scitube.io/dr-min-yang-maximising-efficiency-in-wastewater-treatment-tanks/) - Oxidation ditches and aeration tanks are vitally important facilities for urban wastewater treatment. Each of them removes organic pollutants from sewage in a different way. In an oxidation ditch, a rapidly rotating brush pushes wastewater to circulate around a long, narrow channel. This encourages mixing and aeration in the water, helping the microbes inside to break down its harmful organic pollutants more quickly. In contrast, aeration tanks encourage aeration and mixing using uniform grids of diffusers, which release upward-flowing plumes of bubbles.

Vladimirov | Uncovering the Genetic and Molecular Underpinnings of Psychiatric Disorders](https://scitube.io/dr-vladimir-i-vladimirov-uncovering-the-genetic-and-molecular-underpinnings-of-psychiatric-disorders/) - Over the past decade or so, researchers have conducted several large-scale genetic studies employing hundreds of thousands of patients, to identify genetic variants associated with psychiatric disorders. However, very few studies have explored how these genetic variants impact molecular processes in the brain, leading to the development of various psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, major depression, or alcohol addiction.
- [Dr. Anand Kumar | Exploiting the Interactions Between Microbes and Host to Enhance Human Health](https://scitube.io/dr-anand-kumar-exploiting-the-interactions-between-microbes-and-host-to-enhance-human-health/) - All animals harbor a wide range of microbes, including bacteria and fungi. In the human body, microbial cells outnumber human cells by 10 to 1! Interactions between microbes affect many physiological processes within the body, including metabolism, digestion, immunity and the production of vitamins. For instance, many beneficial microbes can suppress the growth of harmful microbes within the gut. If these microbial interactions become disrupted, we can be at a greater risk of developing various diseases.

- [Dr. Mario Ernesto Cruz Muñoz | Understanding How Leukemia Evades the Immune System](https://scitube.io/dr-mario-ernesto-cruz-munoz-understanding-how-leukemia-evades-the-immune-system/) - Natural killer cells, along with other lymphocytes, are responsible for finding cells that are experiencing stress. Such cellular stress can occur when a cell is infected with a virus, or when it is becoming cancerous. Natural killer cells can identify stressed cells by detecting signals on their surfaces. These signals are recognized by a suite of proteins found on the surfaces of killer cells, known as immunoreceptors. Upon detecting these signals, natural killer cells secrete toxic substances that can kill the stressed cells.
- [Dr Cini Bhanu | Revealing Which Medications Can Cause Postural Hypotension](https://scitube.io/cini-bhanu-revealing-which-medications-can-cause-postural-hypotension/) - The Office for National Statistics has forecast that by 2040, one in seven citizens will be aged 75 or over. An aging population faces a number of healthcare challenges, including an increase in the prevalence of chronic conditions, and changes in physiology that increase the risk of falls and other accidents. Postural – or orthostatic – hypotension is a condition in which a person’s blood pressure drops significantly when they stand up from sitting or lying down. When blood pressure drops suddenly on standing, not enough blood flow reaches a person’s brain and they can experience symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, and falls.
- [Dr Matthew Hoare | Understanding Gene Mutations in Chronic Liver Disease](https://scitube.io/dr-matthew-hoare-understanding-gene-mutations-in-chronic-liver-disease/) - The liver plays a vital role in keeping us healthy, by controlling levels of sugars and fats in our blood, as well as clearing the blood of toxins. Chronic liver disease affects around 25% of the population and is reported to be the third largest cause of premature death in the UK. Liver disease can occur as the result of long-term consumption of alcohol or viral hepatitis, but the fastest growing cause is non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes.
- [Professor Dorothy Ibifuro Makanjuola | New Insights into Breast Cancer Presentation in Men](https://scitube.io/professor-dorothy-ibifuro-makanjuola-new-insights-into-breast-cancer-presentation-in-men/) - Out of all patients diagnosed with breast cancer, only 1% are men. The classical presentation of male breast cancer consists of a painless and hard tumour that appears behind the areola – the circular area around the nipple. This is different from breast cancer in women, who can present a tumour in different parts of the breast. In some cases, however, male breast cancer can manifest at the same time as gynecomastia.

Even if we halt all greenhouse gas emissions today, the oceans are predicted to rise by more than half a metre by the end of the century, threatening coastal cities, including Manhattan, Vancouver, Lagos, Shanghai and Tokyo. In addition to displacing millions of humans, rising seas will alter natural coastal environments and ecosystems.
- [Professor Zhiliang Zhang | The Super-tough Coating that Repels Ice](https://scitube.io/professor-zhiliang-zhang-the-super-tough-coating-that-repels-ice/) - Ice can cause serious damage to vehicles and infrastructure, including aircraft, pavements, power lines, and wind turbines. It is important to remove ice before it causes damage, but doing this manually is often expensive and energy-intensive, and sometimes even dangerous. Researchers have begun to develop so-called ‘super-hydrophobic’ coatings, which can repel incoming water droplets before they freeze. This not only prevents ice from building up; it also weakens the adhesion of ice that does freeze to the surface, allowing it be removed more easily.
- [Dr Zirui Huang | How the Brain’s Functional Geometry Could Encode Dimensions of the Mind](https://scitube.io/dr-zirui-huang-how-the-brains-functional-geometry-could-encode-dimensions-of-the-mind/) - The concept of consciousness extends beyond mere philosophical pondering. Scientists are currently exploring how conscious experience emerges from electrochemical processes within the brain. Unraveling this mystery holds significant implications for brain health, encompassing phenomena such as comas, surgical anesthesia, and the altered perceptions observed in schizophrenia. Emerging research indicates that consciousness is not localized to a single brain region, but rather arises as a result of network interactions. Understanding the intricate connections between brain regions that contribute to consciousness has remained a challenging endeavor.
- [Identifying and Preventing Arthropod Encounters in South-eastern USA Homes](https://scitube.io/identifying-and-preventing-arthropod-encounters-in-south-eastern-usa-homes/) - Arthropods – which include insects, spiders, centipedes and woodlice – have inhabited this planet for millions of years. They are found in most habitats on Earth – including our gardens and homes. It is in these built environments that a small number are considered a nuisance. An even smaller number damage buildings or belongings, eat our food – even feed on us – so we label them… pests! Preventing pest infestations requires an understanding of their lifestyles and requirements for food, water, shelter, and favourable temperatures. This understanding is predicated on a proper identification.
- [Juan Ramirez | Achieving Faster Computation Through Philosophical Mathematics](https://scitube.io/juan-ramirez-achieving-faster-computation-through-philosophical-mathematics/) - ‘What is a number?’ is a question with various answers depending on who you ask. This question is also vital to mathematical logic, and as a consequence, to all modern computation. In the early 1900s, the field of mathematics experienced multiple crises, as various paradoxes arose that proved all mathematical knowledge to be unfounded. The solution to these crises was the birth of Set Theory.
- [Professor Barrett Caldwell | Developing Effective Chronic Care for Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury](https://scitube.io/professor-barrett-caldwell-developing-effective-chronic-care-for-patients-with-traumatic-brain-injury/) - An estimated 69 million people worldwide are currently living with traumatic brain injury. Now recognised as a chronic condition, traumatic brain injury can lead to sleep disorders, depression, headaches and an increased risk of suicide. Unfortunately, the human factors involved in recovery remain understudied. Working to address this is Professor Barrett Caldwell, who leads the GROUPER Laboratory at Purdue University. He and his colleagues study the processes and technologies used to manage chronic conditions, to improve care systems for people living with traumatic brain injury.
- [Dr Catherine Richter | Exploring Enzymes in Fish to Accelerate Conservation](https://scitube.io/dr-catherine-richter-exploring-enzymes-in-fish-to-accelerate-conservation/) - Thiamine – commonly known as Vitamin B1 – is required by almost all life on Earth. Humans and other animals need to consume sufficient amounts of this vitamin to support brain and heart health. Some organisms, including certain molluscs, fish and bacteria, contain thiamine-degrading enzymes known as thiaminases. As such, consuming these organisms can lead to thiamine-deficiency.

This remains true today, as artificial intelligence is rapidly and radically changing the way we think about the world. Seven decades ago, while creating the field of cybernetics, scientist-philosopher Norbert Wiener first asked: Which ethical values and principles should be instilled into machines that learn and make decisions?
- [Dr Benjamin Scherlag | Could the Soul Be a Biophysical Reality?](https://scitube.io/dr-benjamin-scherlag-could-the-soul-be-a-biophysical-reality/) - Do human beings have a soul that leaves after they die? While all recognised religions suggest that they do, scientists have been unable to confirm this belief. The soul remains an elusive entity, which theoretically encompasses an individual’s personality and consciousness. Through scientific experiments, Benjamin Scherlag, Ronald Scherlag, Tarun Dasari and Sunny Po at the University of Oklahoma Health Science Centre recently investigated the soul. They carried out these experiments on a dwarf form of the organism Stentor coeruleus, which has regenerative abilities.
- [Dr Francesco Muia | Unlocking the Universe’s Secrets with Ultra-high-frequency Gravitational Waves](https://scitube.io/dr-francesco-muia-unlocking-the-universes-secrets-with-ultra-high-frequency-gravitational-waves/) - In the early 1900s, Einstein revolutionized our understanding of space and time, revealing them as interconnected aspects of the universe’s fabric – known as ‘spacetime’. Spacetime isn’t a rigid background. Like a ball on a trampoline, heavy objects like the Sun warp spacetime around them, drawing the planets into orbits. When heavy objects move extremely fast – such as when two black holes orbit each other and merge or in highly energetic events like those occurring in the early universe – the warping becomes extreme, generating waves that spread through spacetime. These ‘gravitational waves’, first discovered in 2015, offer scientists new tools to explore the universe.

Coli Bacteria](https://scitube.io/dr-david-ussery-discovering-new-groups-of-e-coli-bacteria/) - Escherichia coli – more commonly known as E. coli – is a leading cause of diarrhoea-associated hospitalisation. However, E. coli does not always cause disease. Alongside thousands of other bacterial species, E. coli lives inside and on the surface of the human body. Numerous different strains of E. coli have been identified by analysing their genomes.
- [PrognostX Health | A New Test to Identify Chronic Kidney Disease – A Costly and Silent Killer](https://scitube.io/prognostx-health-a-new-test-to-identify-chronic-kidney-disease-a-costly-and-silent-killer/) - Chronic kidney disease is a common but irreversible condition that involves progressive loss of kidney function. In general, there are rarely any symptoms present as the disease progresses, and over 90% of individuals have no idea they even have it. Approximately 700 million people have chronic kidney disease worldwide and most are unaware of their irreversible condition. If the disease progresses to end-stage renal disease, patients require life-sustaining dialysis treatments three times per week, which negatively impacts on quality of life. While a kidney transplant can delay major issues, most who progress to end-stage will only live an additional 5 to 10 years.
- [Dr Kei Toyota | A New Way to Create Conductive Polymers for Technological Applications](https://scitube.io/dr-kei-toyota-a-new-way-to-create-conductive-polymers-for-technological-applications/) - Polymers, made from incredibly long chains of smaller molecules, make up many materials used in the modern world. From simple plastics to medical devices and solar cells, polymers represent a diverse and exciting area of science. The majority of polymers are made from carbon-based molecules. Perhaps even more fascinating are hybrid polymers, which are composed of both carbon-based and metal-based components. Hybrid polymers have unique properties, such as conductivity, making them especially desirable for new technologies. Dr Kei Toyota at the Panasonic Corporation in Osaka, Japan, has been investigating new ways to develop hybrid polymers.
- [Dr Brian D. Tait | The Impact of Haplotyping on Disease Inheritance and Clinical Treatment](https://scitube.io/dr-brian-d-tait-the-impact-of-haplotyping-on-disease-inheritance-and-clinical-treatment/) - Humans inherit a version of each gene – an allele – from each parent. Through standard DNA analysis, it is not possible to know which allele of a given gene came from the mother and which came from the father. Understanding which allele came from which parent is known as ‘haplotyping’ or ‘genetic phasing’. This is particularly important when a gene has multiple changes in the gene sequence – called mutations.
- [Professor Zhuoyi Wang | What Can the Compromised Progress of the Mulan Remake Tell Us About Cross-cultural Filmmaking?](https://scitube.io/professor-zhuoyi-wang-what-can-the-compromised-progress-of-the-mulan-remake-tell-us-about-cross-cultural-filmmaking/) - In 1998, Disney released Mulan, an animated take on a Chinese legend. The film tells the story of Mulan, a girl who impersonates a man to join the army. She shows bravery as she fights to save her kingdom. At the time, this was a breakthrough for Disney due to its positive portrayal of Chinese characters and strong women. Nevertheless, the film included many gender stereotypes and instances of cultural appropriation. In 2020, a live action remake of Mulan was released. Directed by feminist filmmaker Niki Caro, it aimed to be gender progressive and culturally appropriate. However, critics argued that it misrepresented Chinese culture, and perpetuated ethnic stereotypes. Given that the film tried to avoid these pitfalls, how did this happen?
- [Professor William Richardson | What Mice in Mazes Can Teach Us About Working Memory](https://scitube.io/professor-william-richardson-what-mice-in-mazes-can-teach-us-about-working-memory/) - Our working memory can be described as a mental sticky note, where we hold bits of information for short periods of time. Working memory is an important function for everyday life, used for many tasks including following directions, holding conversations and solving problems of all kinds. Often, working memory – and problem-solving – can be improved by training.
- [Dr Youzhong Guo | Accelerating Our Understanding of Cell Membranes](https://scitube.io/dr-youzhong-guo-accelerating-our-understanding-of-cell-membranes/) - Cell membranes are an essential constituent of all living organisms. They protect and organize cells, and perform a range of vital functions that ensure an organism’s survival. The two fundamental components of cell membranes are proteins and lipids, which form a diverse and complex system connecting the membrane to the wider cell. Interactions between cell-membrane proteins and between proteins and lipids play vital roles in myriad biological processes. Understanding these interactions is critical for identifying the mechanisms behind many medical disorders, in order to find ways of treating them. In-depth knowledge of these interactions is also crucial for drug design.
- [Dr Victor Serebruany | Investigating Misreporting in a Clinical Trial](https://scitube.io/dr-victor-serebruany-investigating-misreporting-in-a-clinical-trial/) - Clinical trials are the main way for scientists and doctors to test whether new treatments, such as drugs or devices, are safe and effective. Because of their pivotal importance in influencing treatment options and patient care, clinical trials must be conducted to the highest standards. For drugs, this means they are required to be proven safe and effective before they can gain government approval.
- [Professor Roger Jensen | Assessing Workplace Hazards Using Risk Matrices](https://scitube.io/professor-roger-jensen-assessing-workplace-hazards-using-risk-matrices/) - Occupational safety & health is a field that assesses hazards in workplace settings. It involves anticipating hazardous events that could harm workers, estimating the likelihood that an event will occur, and devising measures to prevent or mitigate harm. In this way, safety & health professionals help to greatly reduce the risk of injuries, illnesses and deaths.
- [Professor Carl Maertz | How Can Companies Retain High-performing Employees? Good Data is Key!](https://scitube.io/professor-carl-maertz-how-can-companies-retain-high-performing-employees-good-data-is-key/) - Identifying why staff voluntarily leave their roles, and implementing strategies to decrease these departures, remains one of the most important activities for frontline managers. Past research has suggested methods to reduce turnover. However, this research has not adequately distinguished between functional turnover, which incurs lower costs for the organisation, and dysfunctional turnover, which incurs higher costs.
- [Dr Egle Tomasi-Gustafsson | Dr Simone Pacetti - Probing the Proton: Understanding the Structure of Sub-Atomic Particles](https://scitube.io/dr-egle-tomasi-gustafsson-dr-simone-pacetti-probing-the-proton-understanding-the-structure-of-sub-atomic-particles/) - The world around us is made up of atoms, which we can break down into smaller sub-atomic particles. Protons are positively charged sub-atomic particles – made up of three fundamental particles called ‘quarks’. Quarks are one of the building blocks of matter, and different combinations of them make up different sub-atomic particles. The proton has two ‘up’ quarks and one ‘down’ quark, which have different masses and charges. However, when we add up the masses of these three individual quarks, we get a lighter mass than the mass of a proton. So, what else is contributing to the proton’s mass?
- [Professor Thomas Feuerstein | Using Mathematical Modelling to Understand Acute Heart Failure Treatment](https://scitube.io/professor-thomas-feuerstein-using-mathematical-modelling-to-understand-acute-heart-failure-treatment/) - Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death around the globe. Heart failure is a particular type of cardiovascular disease, which occurs when the heart is not able to pump blood around the body as well as it should. Over 26 million people in the world are currently affected by heart failure and this number is increasing every year.
- [Dr Julie Karand | Exploring Factors Linked to Arterial Stiffness in Tanzanian Adults](https://scitube.io/dr-julie-karand-exploring-factors-linked-to-arterial-stiffness-in-tanzanian-adults/) - The arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to all parts the body. Arterial stiffness, which describes the rigidity of the arteries’ walls, has been shown to increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death across the globe. As such, investigating the factors linked to arterial stiffness is critical, as it could help doctors to identify those at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
- [Dr Peter Palese | Developing a Universal Flu Vaccine](https://scitube.io/dr-peter-palese-developing-a-universal-flu-vaccine/) - The influenza virus – commonly known as flu – is a serious public health concern. There are an estimated 1 billion cases of influenza each year, causing approximately 650,000 deaths globally.
- [Austina Lee | Gareth Dylan Smith - The Role of Love and Community in American Schools](https://scitube.io/austina-lee-gareth-dylan-smith-the-role-of-love-and-community-in-american-schools/) - Capitalism and neoliberalism influence how children are schooled in the USA. American schools have standardised performance measures that teachers and students are expected to meet, which tend to prioritise: conformity, good grades and workforce readiness. They do not support students to develop identities, form good relationships, collaborate, or innovate. The result is an education system that undervalues care and community, which is at odds with the vision of raising compassionate young people. In a recent paper, teachers Austina Lee and Gareth Dylan Smith explore how this can be challenged through ‘punk’ pedagogy. They use the case study of a high-school choir to demonstrate how their ideas can be put into practice.
- [Associate Professor Yukihiko Toquenaga | Sequencing the Genome: Two Heads are Better than One](https://scitube.io/associate-professor-yukihiko-toquenaga-sequencing-the-genome-two-heads-are-better-than-one/) - The genome comprises the entire set of DNA instructions for each cell in all living things. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the hereditary material found in humans and other organisms. The genome contains all the information needed to build any individual living thing, and for it to grow and develop.
- [Professor Nicholas Washmuth | Professor Richard Stephens - The Power of Words: Could Swearing Be a Useful Therapeutic Tool for Physiotherapists?](https://scitube.io/professor-nicholas-washmuth-professor-richard-stephens-the-power-of-words-could-swearing-be-a-useful-therapeutic-tool-for-physiotherapists/) - Words change how people think, feel, and behave. As such, the words that medical professionals use have the potential to improve or worsen how patients feel. In physiotherapy, language may be just as important as physical interventions for achieving positive outcomes. So, what about swear words? While most of us swear sometimes and taboo words have been around since language emerged, their potential benefits are often ignored due to controversy and negative associations. Professors Nicholas Washmuth and Richard Stephens argue we should change this. In the right circumstances, they believe that swearing can significantly improve patient outcomes.
- [Professor Alberto Posso | Exploring the Neglected Psychological Consequences of Child Labour](https://scitube.io/professor-alberto-posso-exploring-the-neglected-psychological-consequences-of-child-labour/) - Child labour is a major social problem, particularly in developing countries. Recent reports estimate that globally, there are 160 million children engaged in child labour – representing an increase of 8.4 million in the last four years. Child labour is likely both a symptom and a cause of poverty. Not only do working children achieve lower levels of education, but their physical health can also be jeopardised. However, less is known about the psychological and mental health impacts.
- [Dr John Fairbrother | Redefining High Risk Clones in Animal Populations](https://scitube.io/dr-john-fairbrother-redefining-high-risk-clones-in-animal-populations/) - Antimicrobial drugs treat infections by killing or slowing the growth of the responsible pathogens. However, antimicrobial resistance occurs when the bacteria develop defence mechanisms against the very drugs intended to kill them. Infections due to resistant bacteria can be extremely difficult and even impossible to treat, meaning that antimicrobial resistance presents a major threat to animal, environmental and human health.
- [Taher Saif | Dr Andrew Holle – Mechanobiology – Exploring the Mechanics of Cell Behaviour](https://scitube.io/taher-saif-dr-andrew-holle-mechanobiology-exploring-the-mechanics-of-cell-behaviour/) - Extracellular biophysical cues have a profound influence on a wide range of cell behaviors, including growth, motility, differentiation, apoptosis, gene expression, adhesion, and signal transduction. Cells not only respond to definitively mechanical cues from the extracellular matrix (ECM) but can also sometimes alter the mechanical properties of the matrix and hence influence subsequent matrix-based cues in both physiological and pathological processes. Interactions between cells and materials in vitro can modify cell phenotype and ECM structure, whether intentionally or inadvertently. Interactions between cell and matrix mechanics in vivo are of particular importance in a wide variety of disorders, including cancer, central nervous system injury, fibrotic diseases, and myocardial infarction. Both the in vitro and in vivo effects of this coupling between mechanics and biology hold important implications for clinical applications.
- [James Dyer | Raymond Desjardins - Using Protein as a Unifying Measurement of Livestock Carbon Footprints](https://scitube.io/james-dyer-raymond-desjardins-using-protein-as-a-unifying-measurement-of-livestock-carbon-footprints/) - Livestock production has a significant impact on the environment, through land use and greenhouse gas emissions. As such, minimising environmental impacts while also fulfilling the dietary needs of a growing global population must be a priority for agriculture. However, directly comparing the carbon footprints of different livestock is challenging, mainly due to differences in their products. James Dyer and Raymond Desjardins from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada set out to explore ways to compare the carbon footprints of animal products.

- [Dr Adam Lauver | Improving the Measurement of Drug-induced Cardiovascular Effects](https://scitube.io/dr-adam-lauver-improving-the-measurement-of-drug-induced-cardiovascular-effects/) - In the early stages of drug development, an important focus for researchers is the risk of drug-induced cardiovascular effects. More commonly known as an abnormal heart rhythm, arrhythmia is a term used to describe when the heart is beating too quickly, too slowly or irregularly. The consequences of arrhythmia can be fatal.
- [Professor Ksenija Gasic | Keeping Orchards Peachy with Armillaria Root Rot Solutions](https://scitube.io/professor-ksenija-gasic-keeping-orchards-peachy-with-armillaria-root-rot-solutions/) - What do peaches, cherries, and almonds all have in common? They are all delicious, nutritious, and loved by consumers around the world. They all grow on trees. And all of them may disappear from our supermarket shelves because of a persistent and destructive replant disease called Armillaria or oak root rot. Armillaria root rot is caused by fungi commonly called ‘honey fungi’, because of the golden colour of the mushrooms that sprout from the base of infected trees. However, the mushrooms signal internal devastation for the tree.
- [Dr Xiushan Yin | Developing Accurate and Rapid COVID Tests for People with Colour Blindness](https://scitube.io/dr-xiushan-yin-developing-accurate-and-rapid-covid-tests-for-people-with-colour-blindness/) - Diagnosing viral infections, such as COVID-19, can be challenging. The most accurate way to identify a virus is by detecting its genetic information, but viruses are merely a tiny packet of genes encased in a protein shell. When a virus has infected a host, such as a human body, identifying viral genes amongst the host’s genes is like finding a needle in a haystack. However, scientists have a trick – to make copies of the needle, until needles outnumber the hay straws. This is called nuclear acid amplification, which forms the basis for the gold-standard PCR test for COVID-19. Dr Xiushan Yin and his colleagues at the Shenyang University of Chemical Technology have been further refining this amazing technology to help tackle COVID-19.
- [Dr Ilario Losito | Maximising the Healthy Compounds in Olive Oils](https://scitube.io/dr-ilario-losito-maximising-the-healthy-compounds-in-olive-oils/) - Secoiridoids are a family of healthy compounds found in olive oil. The type, ratio, and amount of the four major secoiridoids in olive oil depends on several factors. These include the olive variety, the region in which it was produced, and the process used to extract the oil. Understanding how to optimise the secoiridoid content in olive oil is a key focus for many food scientists. Towards this aim, Dr Ilario Losito from the University of Bari Aldo Moro and his colleagues extensively analysed 60 different types of olive oils produced in Italy. They used specialist chemistry techniques to determine the secoiridoid content of these olive oils.
- [Professor Kevin Lewis | Exploring the Differences between Digital and Face-to-Face Social Networks](https://scitube.io/professor-kevin-lewis-exploring-the-differences-between-digital-and-face-to-face-social-networks/) - Digital communication technologies, such as email, social media and messaging apps, radically changed how humans interact with each other. However, most research on how digital networks emerge and evolve is based on the flawed assumption that online and offline social networks operate very similarly. Professor Kevin Lewis at the University of California, San Diego, recently published a paper that challenges this assumption, by exploring the differences in how online and offline social networks are established and develop over time.
- [Dr Barrett Caldwell | A Learner-Centred Design for Online Engineering Courses](https://scitube.io/dr-barrett-caldwell-a-learner-centred-design-for-online-engineering-courses/) - The COVID-19 pandemic placed pressure on universities to deliver their courses online. While remote learning platforms had already been gaining popularity, the rapid shift that occurred in the first few months of the pandemic revealed the shortcomings of these platforms. For instance, remote learning platforms are often not inclusive of different types of learners, and many students can struggle to stay motivated. Dr Barrett Caldwell and his team at Purdue University devised a new approach that could help to improve online courses in engineering subjects.

For physicians and patients, understanding this connection between exposures and symptoms is critical for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of chemical intolerance.
- [Exploring How Focused Support Groups Can Help Patients with Oncogene-Driven Lung Cancer](https://scitube.io/exploring-how-focused-support-groups-can-help-patients-with-oncogene-driven-lung-cancer/) - Non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC, accounts for approximately 85% of lung cancer cases worldwide. Although NSCLC typically progresses at a slower rate than other types of lung cancer, by the time it is diagnosed it has often spread beyond the lungs, making it harder to treat. About a quarter of NSCLC cases are driven by so-called ‘oncogenes’. Such oncogene-driven cancers develop due to the extreme and uncontrolled expression of a gene that transforms normal cells into tumour cells.
- [Professor Kieran Kilcawley | Using Flavour Chemistry to Identify Biomarkers Behind the Sensory Perception of Irish Grass-fed Beef and Lamb](https://scitube.io/professor-kieran-kilcawley-using-flavour-chemistry-to-identify-biomarkers-behind-the-sensory-perception-of-irish-grass-fed-beef-and-lamb/) - For many consumers, the origin of the food they buy is of great importance. For instance, Irish beef and lamb is often seen as superior quality meat, as the animals are typically reared outdoors on a diet of predominately fresh grass. However, are Irish beef and lamb actually any different to meats produced elsewhere, from animals reared indoors in less sustainable production systems? Professor Kieran Kilcawley and his team at the Teagasc Agriculture and Food Development Authority in Ireland, in conjunction with University College Dublin, are investigating the ‘flavour chemistry’ of beef and lamb. Their aim is to determine whether there are fundamental differences in the chemical properties of meat due to the animal’s diet and origin.

Dr Aldo Bonasera at Texas A&M University in the USA and Laboratori Nazionali del Sud, Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare in Italy, and Dr Hua Zheng at the School of Physics and Information Technology, Shaanxi Normal University in China, have taken a mathematical approach to compare the current COVID-19 pandemic with the Spanish Flu. Their findings have led to important recommendations for managing the current pandemic through vaccination programmes.
- [Using Machine Learning to Predict Bacterial Growth According to the Media Components](https://scitube.io/using-machine-learning-to-predict-bacterial-growth-according-to-the-media-components/) - Bacterial growth depends on the complex interactions of a multitude of chemical components. Microbiologists have long attempted to predict bacterial growth according to culture media components, and have employed a variety of mathematical and computational models to this end. Dr Bei-Wen Ying and her colleagues at the University of Tsukuba, Japan, successfully applied machine learning to understand the contribution of media culture components to bacterial growth. Their work makes a significant contribution to growth prediction and demonstrates that machine learning can be employed in the exploration of the complex dynamics that regulate living systems.
- [Revolutionising Understanding of the Myometrium to Prevent Preterm Birth](https://scitube.io/revolutionising-understanding-of-the-myometrium-to-prevent-preterm-birth/) - Preterm birth refers to the birth of a baby before 37 weeks of completed gestation. An estimated 15 million babies are born prematurely each year and sadly, this prevalence is rising. Approximately 1 million die as a result of premature birth, and those who survive are at risk of lifelong disabilities. Dr Buxton and his team at the University of Nevada, Reno, are studying the role of the smooth muscle of the uterus to elucidate its role in preterm labour and birth.
- [Exploring the Surface Chemistry of Interstellar Dust](https://scitube.io/exploring-the-surface-chemistry-of-interstellar-dust/) - Interstellar space may seem like the last place you would look when searching for the chemical origins of life. Yet on the surfaces of tiny dust grains within this vast expanse, complex chemical reactions are continually occurring, which likely played a key role in establishing the rich diversity of complex molecules we observe in the solar system today. In a new study, astrochemists in Spain and Italy, led by Albert Rimola at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, examine how advanced simulation techniques can be used to study these important processes on atomic scales.
- [Understanding Astrochemistry](https://scitube.io/understanding-astrochemistry/) - Over the past few decades, astronomers have learnt more and more about the planets, moons, and asteroids of our Solar System – but we still have much to learn about the materials they are made from. For hundreds of years, we have used chemistry to study such materials on Earth, but there is no guarantee that they will behave in the same way in space – where they can exist in environments ranging from harsh, airless vacuums, to strange and exotic atmospheres.

- [Dr Michael Schutz | Musical Alarms: Improving Medical Environments by Studying Sound](https://scitube.io/dr-michael-schutz-musical-alarms-improving-medical-environments-by-studying-sound/) - Medical devices in hospitals use auditory interfaces to keep doctors and nurses updated while keeping their eyes focused on patients. These auditory alarms are crucial for complex procedures, such as placing a breathing tube. Unfortunately, the specific sounds used in current systems are highly problematic. The lack of sophistication in these tones render them annoying and distracting, harming communication amongst medical staff and posing risks for patient care. An FDA survey has revealed hundreds of deaths annually resulting from poorly designed alarms! Although there are many ways to improve their use, one solution has received little attention thus far – improving the quality of the sounds themselves.
- [Dr Albert Rimola - Exploring the Surface Chemistry of Interstellar Dust](https://scitube.io/exploring-the-surface-chemistry-of-interstellar-dust-test/) - It may be surprising to know, that you – and all other mammals – are technically cynodonts. The first cynodonts appeared approximately 260 million years ago as small creatures about the size of a house cat. A particular group of cynodonts evolved to become more ‘mammal-like’, eventually evolving into the first true mammals. Dr Jennifer Botha from the National Museum, Bloemfontein in South Africa studies the anatomy and life history of specimens along the cynodont–mammalian transition, to gain key insights into the origins and evolution of mammals.
- [Dr Susan Prichard | Adapting Forests to Wildfires in a Changing Climate](https://scitube.io/dr-susan-prichard-adapting-forests-to-wildfires-in-a-changing-climate/) - Historically, controlled forest burning in western North America created a forest patchwork that limited the size and severity of wildfires. Over the last 200 years, however, fire suppression created large areas of dense tree stands. As droughts and temperatures increase due to climate change, these dense forests are now at increasing risk from extremely severe wildfires.

It is characterised by severe stiffness, muscle spasms and breathing difficulties. In some developing countries, tetanus unfortunately still occurs and presents a significant healthcare challenge, particularly in relation to maternal and neonatal (newborn) deaths.
- [Dr Tamas Feher | Understanding Myopia-26: A Rare Visual Disorder](https://scitube.io/dr-tamas-feher-understanding-myopia-26-a-rare-visual-disorder/) - Myopia – better known as short-sightedness – is a global health problem in which the eye grows too long, meaning it cannot produce clear images of objects in the distance. The common form of myopia is readily treated through the wearing of glasses, contact lenses or conducting laser surgery. It is also polygenic, meaning that many genes are likely to be involved in its inheritance through generations.
- [Dr Helen Greenwood Hansma | Energy: A Clue to the Origins of Life](https://scitube.io/dr-helen-greenwood-hansma-energy-a-clue-to-the-origins-of-life-animated/) - Before the first living organisms were brought into being, molecules were already moving and changing. Many energy sources, including light and heat from the sun, were available to provide the energy needed to drive chemical reactions. Mechanical energy, which describes the energy of motion, was also readily available before life’s emergence. Dr Helen Greenwood Hansma from the University of California in Santa Barbara explores how mechanical energy could have driven the processes that gave rise to early life.

- [Do European Citizens Accept EU and National Policies Equally?](https://scitube.io/do-european-citizens-accept-eu-and-national-policies-equally/) - Following the global financial crisis of 2007 and 2008, a related economic emergency known as the Euro Crisis spread throughout Europe. To counter this crisis, the EU imposed a series of austerity measures in the worst-hit countries, which fuelled outrage across Europe. However, it is unclear whether citizens were more outraged about these policies because they had been implemented by EU institutions rather than national governments. Professor Sonia Alonso and Professor Ignacio Sánchez-Cuenca recently set out to understand whether the willingness of citizens to accept unpopular policies varies depending on whether they were introduced by their national governments or by EU institutions.
- [Dr Alexandra (Sasha) Pavlova - Professor Paul Sunnucks | Genetic Rescue Saves Species from Extinction](https://scitube.io/dr-alexandra-sasha-pavlova-professor-paul-sunnucks-genetic-rescue-saves-species-from-extinction/) - When a species’ habitat shrinks, its populations decline. Individuals that persist in remaining islands of habitat have no choice but to breed with their relatives, reducing the health and fertility of their offspring. Researchers at Monash University seek to increase genetic diversity in small populations, helping them rebound. They have established ‘genetic rescue’ methods to save many endangered species from extinction, collaborating with wildlife agencies to test solutions.

- [Professor Derrick Robinson | Using Intrabodies to Induce Cell Death in Trypanosome Parasites](https://scitube.io/professor-derrick-robinson-using-intrabodies-to-induce-cell-death-in-trypanosome-parasites/) - Trypanosomes are single-celled parasites that cause life-threatening diseases in humans, domestic livestock and wild animals. In sub-Saharan Africa, infection with a species called Trypanosoma brucei or T.brucei causes African sleeping sickness, which results in organ failure and eventually fatal coma if left untreated. There are limited diagnostic tests and treatments available and much of trypanosome biology remains undiscovered.
- [Krti Tallam | The Importance of Estuaries for Predicting Climate Change Impacts in the Oceans](https://scitube.io/krti-tallam-the-importance-of-estuaries-for-predicting-climate-change-impacts-in-the-oceans/) - Climate change is threatening the world’s marine ecosystems in myriad ways, due to rising temperatures, ocean acidification, and sea-level rise. Another often-overlooked effect is that warmer temperatures and changing weather patterns can alter the transmission of many marine parasites and infectious diseases. Such diseases don’t just impact their host populations, as cascading effects can disrupt entire ocean food webs. Krti Tallam at Stanford University studies the evolution of marine parasites and diseases, along with the broader implications for marine ecology. In a recent review paper, Tallam focuses on critically important ecosystems within intertidal zones.
- [Dr Martín Medina-Elizalde | Collapse of the Ancient Maya Civilisation: Aligning History with Geological Analysis](https://scitube.io/dr-martin-medina-elizalde-collapse-of-the-ancient-maya-civilisation-aligning-history-with-geological-analysis/) - Between 800 and 1000 CE, one of the world’s most advanced ancient civilisations underwent a devastating decline. The collapse of ancient Maya society has widely been attributed to a century-long drought; but so far, there have been few efforts to quantify this event, or to equate scientific findings with historical sources. Through new geological and paleoclimatological analyses, Dr Martín Medina-Elizalde at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst has revealed that the climate changes experienced during the drought followed more complex patterns than previously thought. His team’s discoveries could have important implications for predicting our own society’s future.

- [Yuki Fuseya | Exploring Turing Patterns at Atomic Levels](https://scitube.io/yuki-fuseya-exploring-turing-patterns-at-atomic-levels/) - Patterns can be found across the entire natural world – from the spots on a leopard’s coat to stripes in mineral deposits deep underground. Such motifs are better known as Turing patterns – named after the famous mathematician and codebreaker, Alan Turing, who proposed the theory behind them. Turing patterns are often found on large scales, but they become much rarer at smaller scales, with very few known examples at microscopic and atomic scales. Aharon Kapitulnik and Yuki Fuseya have revealed a new atomic-scale Turing pattern, which arises in an atom-thick layer of bismuth atoms.

- [Dr Ana Elisa Rato - Dr Adélia Sousa | Harnessing Satellite Technology to Improve the Sustainability of Walnut Orchards](https://scitube.io/dr-ana-elisa-rato-dr-adelia-sousa-harnessing-satellite-technology-to-improve-the-sustainability-of-walnut-orchards/) - Walnuts are one of the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet, and could play a large role in achieving global food security. However, in non-organic walnut orchards, chemical fertilisers are typically applied to boost nut yields. When excessive amounts of these chemicals are applied, they can leach into the surrounding environment, damaging local ecosystems. To ensure that correct amounts of fertilisers are applied to walnut orchards, leaf samples are often analysed beforehand, but analysing enough leaf samples is time consuming and expensive. Now, Dr Ana Elisa Rato, Dr Adélia Sousa and their colleagues at MED Institute in the University of Évora have developed an inexpensive approach to assess nutrient levels in walnut orchards, by harnessing the power of satellite technology.

- [Sara Stančin - Sašo Tomažič  | Improving 3D Orientation Tracking in Gyroscope Sensors](https://scitube.io/sara-stancin-saso-tomazic-improving-3d-orientation-tracking-in-gyroscope-sensors/) - Gyroscopes are widely used to measure the orientations and rotation speeds of moving objects – but according to one pair of researchers, the techniques we currently use to measure them are introducing significant and easily avoidable errors. Through their research, Dr Sara Stančin and Dr Sašo Tomažič, both at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia, introduce a mathematical framework which accounts for how all three rotations measured by a gyroscope happen simultaneously, rather than in a sequence.
- [Dr William Durkan | Exploring How the Geography of Voter Turnout Impacts Election Results](https://scitube.io/dr-william-durkan-exploring-how-the-geography-of-voter-turnout-impacts-election-results/) - Voter turnout plays a key role in the functioning of democracies. If only a minority of citizens vote, the elected government might not accurately represent the views of the population. In contrast, when voter turnout is high, a country’s government has a strong mandate to make decisions on its citizens’ behalf. The geographical distributions of voters and voter turnout also significantly affect the outcome of elections. Dr William Durkan of Maynooth University in Ireland recently explored the changing geographies of voter turnout in US presidential elections from 2012 to 2020, using the state of Michigan as a case study.

Professor Manoj Sharma, a global health promotion leader and Chair of the Social and Behavioral Health department at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, wished to test whether a health behavioral model that he developed could explain why adults begin and maintain a meditation practice. While this multi-theory model – or ‘MTM’ – has been applied to many health-related behaviors, two domains are core to the model: initiation of a health behavior and sustenance of this behavior.
- [Professor Zygmunt Pizlo | How Fundamentals in Physics Can Explain Perception and Cognition](https://scitube.io/pizlo-how-fundamentals-in-physics-can-explain-perception-and-cognition/) - Psychophysics is the formal study of perception – our sensory experience of the world. Professor Zygmunt Pizlo at the University of California-Irvine explains that while symmetry is fundamental in both physics and mathematics, it is also fundamental to our understanding of vision. He believes there is much to gain in expanding the existing boundaries of psychology, cognitive science and neuroscience by embracing established fundamentals in physics.
- [Debra Klages | Post-traumatic Growth in Health Professionals Who are Mothers of Adult Children with Schizophrenia](https://scitube.io/debra-klages-post-traumatic-growth-in-health-professionals-who-are-mothers-of-adult-children-with-schizophrenia/) - For young people with schizophrenia, their first experience of psychosis is often highly traumatic. Because of the close, nurturing relationships mothers typically have with their children, they too can experience trauma while witnessing their children’s disturbing psychotic episodes. As a result, mothers of adult children with schizophrenia often experience negative impacts on their physical and psychological health. Debra Klages takes a unique perspective by shedding light on how the traumatic experiences of health professionals with dual roles as mothers can lead to personal and professional growth and resilience.
