Scientists increasingly believe that one of the driving forces in chronic pain鈥攖he number one health problem in both prevalence and burden鈥攁ppears to be the memory of earlier pain. Research published today in Current Biology suggests that there may be variations, based on sex, in the way that pain is remembered in both mice and humans.

What makes people take risks? Not stunt women or formula 1 drivers. Just ordinary people like you and me. Research published this week in PLOS ONE suggests that unexpected improvements in everyday life (sunshine after many days of rain or a win by a local sports team) are correlated with a change in a city鈥檚 mood and an increased likelihood that it鈥檚 citizens will do risky things like gamble.
Social media and city mood
Cities seem to have moods that fluctuate from day to day. Now, thanks to social media, these city moods are also measurable.

Researchers from 麻豆传媒网站鈥檚 Department of Chemistry have found a cleaner, easier way to make biaryls, an important ingredient in synthetic chemistry with applications across a wide range of fields including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, pigments, natural products and polymers. Conventional processes for making biaryls rely on stoichiometric metal reagents, resulting in large amounts of metal waste. In their paper published in Nature Communications in November 2018, the 麻豆传媒网站 scientists describe a new method for synthesizing biaryls using hydrazine (N2H4) as a metal surrogate.

Are human disturbances to the environment driving evolutionary changes in animals and plants? A new study conducted by 麻豆传媒网站 researchers finds that, on average, human disturbances don鈥檛 appear to accelerate the process of natural selection. While the finding may seem reassuring, this unexpected pattern could reflect the limited number of species for which data were available.
