Addgene is a global, nonprofit repository that helps scientists share plasmids, DNA-based research tools that are widely used in the life sciences. Researchers whose plasmids have been distributed to other scientists 100 times or more are recognized with Addgene’s Blue Flame Award. Among this year’s recipients are, Henrik Ahlenius and Isaac Canals. Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules that s

The dissertation is called: Statistical Aspects of Group Dynamics – Multilevel Methods for Emergent Processes in Teams. She explains that the thesis develops new statistical methods to help researchers better capture how teams evolve. “They are not static entities: trust can build or erode, members can leave or join, and events can strengthen or disrupt collaboration. Understanding these dynamics

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat en teknik för att mäta elektriska signaler från 128 hjärnområden samtidigt hos vakna råttor. Den har de sedan använt för att mäta vad som händer med nervcellerna när råttorna får psykedeliska droger. Resultaten visar på en oväntad och samtidig synkronisering bland nervcellerna i flera områden i hjärnan. Idén om att elektriska svängningar, oscillationer,

Researchers have identified the top 12 ways European cities have been able to curb car use. The most effective measure was applying a congestion charge, with the notable case of London, where city traffic dropped by 33% following the change. Most success stories involved both “carrots” to encourage sustainable mobility and “sticks” to restrict cars, according to the study. – Transport is a major s
