Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
The resilience of marine organisms to overshoot global climate
We envision a decline of 4-5% of the volume of the world oceans that can support aerobic habitats even if global temperature targets are only temporarily exceeded.
Wearable sensors provide early detection of progression in Parkinson’s Disease
For the first time, we have shown that it is possible to track disease progression of Parkinson's using machine learning to analyse data derived from sensor devices worn by patients.
Can nudging parents also improve learning in Sub-Saharan Africa?
Simple messages to parents that help make children's school life salient have been shown to improve educational outcomes in high and middle-income countries. Could they also work in the much poorer settings of rural Sub-Saharan Africa? A recent study documents that they might - although not for all.
