A first approach to unravel the jellyfish diversity and ecology from Kribi coastal region (Cameroon, Gulf of Guinea)
Given jellyfish blooms associated huge socio-economic, environmental and health issues, sufficient information regarding their taxonomy, population dynamics, food web roles, and composition, are relevant to design sustainable conservation measures.
Behind the Paper: Atmospheric Rivers Emerge as Future Freshwater Reserves and Heat Stocks
ARs have emerged as one of the most dynamic frontiers in climate science, hydrology, and extreme weather prediction. This paper, we unveil that Atmospheric rivers emerge as future freshwater reserves and heat stocks that will impact global water cycle and climate.
AI Decodes the Deluge: Unveiling Rising Rainfall Extremes in the Urbanizing Himalayan Foothills
A study led by Dr. Sumanta Das, published in Earth Systems and Environment, pioneers the use of machine learning and geospatial analytics to decode four decades of rainfall variability in Uttarakhand, a fragile and rapidly urbanizing Himalayan state.
Unlocking the Role of Long Non-Coding RNAs in Multiple Myeloma: The LINC01432–CELF2 Axis
By combining clinical genomics with RNA biology, we uncovered a new mechanism through which a long non-coding RNA helps myeloma cells evade apoptosis, while training the next generation of scientists to make new discoveries.
Differences that make science stronger
Enforcement of national and international laws banning illegal tropical timber trade hinges on independent origin verification, such as with genetic or chemical wood properties. In our recent paper, we combined these methods for the first time and showed their complementarity.
Mobile apps found to promote more sustainable and healthier diets
The first systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the effectiveness of apps to promote dietary change for planetary and human health. Across 21 studies and 10 countries and territories, we found benefits on promoting fruit and vegetables and reducing meat.
Designing motivating learning environments
In our conceptual paper, we have developed a framework to help practitioners design motivating learning environments that help students flourish.
Gender, environment and business responsibility
This article highlights the invisible pillars of labour exploitation on a global scale, namely women's unpaid work and the wealth and services provided by the environment that go unvalued, thereby relativising the emphasis on business ethics from a neoliberal perspective.
From Needles to Pills: The New Era of Weight-Loss Medicine
For years, people struggling with obesity have dreamed of a simple pill that could deliver real, lasting weight loss — without injections, surgery, or extreme diets.
