Animal Behavior: Fly Flight Moves Forward

A new study has resolved the paradox of how flies maintain reflexive aversion to your approaching swatter, whilst tolerating similar visual signals during normal forward flight.

The cyclin-dependent kinase pathway moves forward.

The cell cycle of mammalian cells is divided into four phases: G1 (first gap), S (DNA synthesis), G2 (second gap), and M (mitosis). Quiescent cells that have not entered the cell cycle are referred to as being in G0. Progression through the cell cycle requires the activation of cyclindependent kinases (CDKs). CDK activation is dependent on the association of the CDK with a cyclin regulatory sub...

Strategic Game Moves Mediate Implicit Science Learning

Educational games have the potential to be innovative forms of learning assessment, by allowing us to not just study their knowledge but the process that takes students to that knowledge. This paper examines the mediating role of players’ moves in digital games on changes in their pre-post classroom measures of implicit science learning. We applied automated detectors of strategic moves, built ...

Latin American Science Moves into the Spotlight

With new incentives, some governments in Latin America are starting to increase investment in basic and applied research. Although the news is encouraging, scientists in this region still face many challenges ahead.

New pressure ulcer risk tool moves forward with implementation study.
