Did you know that the central Mediterranean Sea's surface temperatures have been fluctuating for millions of years? Scientists have reconstructed a detailed record of these temperature changes, known as sea surface temperatures (SSTs), using tiny sea creatures called G. ruber and their fossilized sh
Researchers dug into the medical records of nearly 19, 000 patient eyes that had something called geographic atrophy (GA). They looked back, using data from CorEvitas Vestrum Health Retina Database. Over three years, they wanted to see what would happen. The team found that GA progresses di
When it comes to making universities inclusive for students with intellectual disabilities, what do the teachers think? Researchers set out to find answers by talking to professors from Spain, Italy, and Portugal. They analyzed the discussions using Grounded Theory, looking at how important certain

Virus-like particles (VLPs) are a cool way to carry genetic material to specific places in the body. They can be tweaked for better delivery or to cause a desired immune response. Currently, VLP production might need different purification methods, which complicates things. Researchers came up with
The world of online retail is booming, but so is the pile of packaging waste. A recent study took a closer look at two types of reusable packaging in Canada's apparel eCommerce market. They compared these with disposable options using something called Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). In the first scena
