Revolutionizing Neurology Training: The Crucial Role of Arts and Humanities

Researchers have found teaching artistic observation to neurology residents contributed to the development of well-rounded physicians with the capacity to be both skilled clinicians and compassionate healers. Art and neurology have long been intertwined. Renaissance artwork depicted the nuances of human anatomy and pathology with remarkable accuracy, while Impressionism, Cubism, and other artistic movements utilized

Exploring the Risks and Benefits of AI Integration in Medical Decision-Making: A Comprehensive Guide

Researchers found that an artificial intelligence (AI) model solved medical quiz questions -- designed to test health professionals' ability to diagnose patients based on clinical images and a brief text summary -- with high accuracy. However, physician-graders found the AI model made mistakes when describing images and explaining how its decision-making led to the correct

New Efficiency Standards for Heavy Trucks: Boosting Energy Use and Performance

A new study suggests that the U.S. government's push to increase heavy-duty trucks' energy efficiency could encourage more shipping by truck instead of rail, reducing the policies' anticipated effectiveness by 20%. Deliveries are getting faster than ever in the U.S., but the faster movement of goods is undercutting the country's climate progress. In a new

Vigorous Melting of Antarctica’s Thwaites ‘Doomsday’ Glacier: Impacts on Global Sea Levels

Glaciologists show evidence of warm ocean water intruding kilometers beneath grounded ice at Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica. The findings suggest that existing climate models are underestimating the impact of ocean and ice interactions in future sea level rise projections. A team of glaciologists led by researchers at the University of California, Irvine used high-resolution

One-Third of China’s Urban Population at Risk: New Satellite Data Reveals Sinking Cities

Land subsidence is overlooked as a hazard in cities, according to new research. Scientists used satellite data that accurately and consistently maps land movement across China. Land subsidence is overlooked as a hazard in cities, according to scientists from the University of East Anglia (UEA) and Virginia Tech. Writing in the journal Science, Prof Robert

Climate Change Costs: $38 Trillion in Annual Damages & 19% Income Reduction Impacting the World Economy

Even if CO2 emissions were to be drastically cut down starting today, the world economy is already committed to an income reduction of 19% until 2050 due to climate change, a new study finds. These damages are six times larger than the mitigation costs needed to limit global warming to two degrees. Based on empirical

Enhancing Food Security Through Sustainable Forest Resource Management

Forests can reduce hunger in rural households while also capturing carbon and advancing sustainability goals for low- and middle-income countries, according to new research. Forests can reduce hunger in rural households while also capturing carbon and advancing sustainability goals for low- and middle-income countries, according to new research by University of Notre Dame experts.

Key Factors in the Spread of Insect Pests: The Importance of Public Surveillance for Early Detection

A new study identifies key patterns and factors influencing insect pest establishment and detection across the U.S. and suggests public surveillance awareness and involvement is a critical component of efforts to protect agriculture and our ecosystems from harmful pests. The findings can be used to improve strategies for early detection and response to new insect

Regulating ‘Living Robots’: The Need for Public Debate on Ethical Development

Researchers are calling for regulation to guide the responsible and ethical development of bio-hybrid robotics -- a ground-breaking science which fuses artificial components with living tissue and cells.

Why Large Language Models Don’t Mimic Human Behavior: Understanding AI Limitations

People generalize to form beliefs about a large language model's performance based on what they've seen from past interactions. When an LLM is misaligned with a person's beliefs, even an extremely capable model may fail unexpectedly when deployed in a real-world situation. One thing that makes large language models (LLMs) so powerful is the diversity

Marine Protected Areas Enhance Trophy-Size Fish Populations: Groundbreaking Research Insights

Marine Protected Areas are having a positive spillover effect, producing more 'trophy-size' fish just outside of the fully protected areas, and the effect is growing stronger over time, according to new research. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are having a positive spillover effect, producing more "trophy-size" fish just outside of the fully protected areas, and the

Top Bioenergy Crops for Sustainable Aviation Fuels by U.S. Region: Policy Insights & Best Practices

Researchers analyzed the financial and environmental costs and benefits of four biofuels crops used to produce sustainable aviation fuels in the U.S. They found that each feedstock -- corn stover, energy sorghum, miscanthus or switchgrass -- performed best in a specific region of the rainfed United States. Their study will help growers and policymakers select

Unlocking the Future: How Climate Change and Biodiversity Create New Opportunities

World leaders must take advantage of a pivotal window of opportunity for forging a much-needed joined-up approach to tackle climate change and biodiversity loss, say scientists. Without this, work on tackling either crisis could inadvertently harm progress on the other. World leaders must take advantage of a pivotal window of opportunity for forging a much-needed
