Young People in Historic Climate Trial Rest Their Case

CLIMATEWIRE | HELENA, Mont. — Young people suing Montana for embracing fossil fuels will wrap up their case Friday, closing out a week of bashing officials for ignoring climate effects they say are warming the state’s famed fishing rivers, melting its iconic glaciers and harming its youngest residents. The state — which has argued during cross-examination… Continue reading Young People in Historic Climate Trial Rest Their Case

The Russian Military’s Looming Personnel Crises of Retention and Veteran Mental Heath

Much attention in recent months has focused on Russia’s faltering military offensive and staggering casualties in Ukraine. But there are other problems, largely unnoticed outside Russia, lurking for the country’s armed forces and society more broadly. Russia’s wartime military-personnel policies, instituted last September, temporarily prohibit active-duty and mobilized soldiers from leaving service. Russia faces a… Continue reading The Russian Military’s Looming Personnel Crises of Retention and Veteran Mental Heath

I had lost consciousness, and my scalp was bleeding profusely. Two days later, I was still unconscious. My condition had worsened, and an ambulance drove… Continue reading A Miracle of St. Therese –

Scientists Solve Star Spin Mystery

Astronomers can measure how fast stars spin by observing “starquakes”—seismic tremors that are the equivalent of earthquakes on our planet. Yet these observations have posed a puzzle because many stars seem to be spinning slower than they should be. In a new study, researchers modeled how a magnetic field could grow in the internal layers… Continue reading Scientists Solve Star Spin Mystery

Arming Teachers, F-16s in Ukraine, Commercial Spaceflight: RAND Weekly Recap

This week, we discuss teachers’ views on carrying guns and on school safety overall; what F-16s will (and won’t) do for Ukraine; regulating commercial spaceflight; the future of Chinese psychological warfare; the parallels between Putin and Brezhnev; and who we honor on Memorial Day.

Scientists Create Human Embryo-Like Structures with Stem Cells

Scientists have created synthetic blobs that resemble a 14-day-old human embryo for the first time, meaning they can study embryo development beyond a particularly tricky period of pregnancy. Historically, international rules prevent research on human embryos more than 14 days after fertilization. But the new technique uses stem cells, which have the potential to transform… Continue reading Scientists Create Human Embryo-Like Structures with Stem Cells
