From Science Magazine. Billions of people rely on the power and resources that rivers provide. As rivers carry water and sediment across the landscape, the very shape is also changing. Geoscientist Austin Chadwick explains his recent work using remote sensing to understand and predict the dynamic behavior of rivers.

From Science Magazine. Every few nights from its perch in Chile, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will take a snapshot of the entire southern sky, enabling astronomers to look for objects – new asteroids, exploding stars – that have changed in the interim. As these images build up over ten years, they will also create…

From Science Magazine. During hibernation, thirteen-lined ground squirrels enter a restful state known as torpor, punctuated by periods of activity known as interbout arousal. Throughout these active stretches, squirrels never consume water—even if it’s offered to them.

From Science Magazine. Executive orders, sweeping budget cuts, and other actions in the first 100 days of the Trump administration have had innumerable impacts on science in the United States and throughout the world. The scientific workforce, biomedical research, and global health initiatives all face widespread, perhaps permanent damage. Science news staff weigh in on…
From Science Magazine. Lupus, multiple sclerosis, and other autoimmune diseases all result from a treacherous immune system attacking a person’s own healthy tissue. Last year, a new approach, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, yielded striking improvements in seriously ill patients, opening what may be a new chapter in autoimmune disease treatment.

From Science Magazine. To get out of sticky situations, some lizards detach their tails from their bodies and scurry away. Scientists have long wondered how the bones and muscles in these tails—which help with balance and movement—can sever with ease when needed, but stay firmly in place when not. 🎥: NAVAJIT S.
