The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Is it really true that students from low socioeconomic status (SES) are less creative than high-SES ones?
A new study published in npj Science of Learning shows that conventional creativity assessments (like PISA 2022) conflate students' reading ability. High-SES students outperform low-SES ones only when the assessment embeds reading requirements.
Where persistent changes in the Atlantic conveyor belt cannot hide
When the Atlantic Ocean conveyor belt is forced to speed up, or slow down — as expected from human activity — the western South Atlantic responds loud and clear.
Fool’s Gold in the Ocean – How Marine Heatwaves Can Mask a Global Fish Decline
How can the ocean be emptying, yet bursting with fish during heatwaves? We analyzed ~34,000 populations to unravel this paradox. Discover how short-term temperature spikes create a dangerous "fool’s gold" effect, masking a silent, global biomass crash in our new Nature Eco & Evo paper.
From Lab to Live Demonstration: Testing an Eye-Tracking Tool for Autism in Real-World Settings
Can an eye-tracking tool validated in clinical research perform reliably outside the laboratory? In this study, we tested our autism screening paradigm during live public demonstrations across three international conferences. Here’s what we learned.
