Anti-climate action groups tend to arise in countries with stronger climate change efforts, study suggests

A new study suggests that countries with stronger commitments to protect the natural environment—regardless of national oil dependence or other economic interests—are more likely to see the establishment of counter climate change groups that aim to obstruct climate change action. A new study suggests that countries with stronger commitments to protect the natural environment—regardless of national…

Broken promises are why some international students turn to seeking asylum

Canada faces a major contradiction in its immigration policies. Thousands of international students, once celebrated as “ideal immigrants,” are now turning to the asylum system. As a migration policy researcher and former international student, I have watched this predicament unfold with growing concern. Canada faces a major contradiction in its immigration policies. Thousands of international students,…

Bioluminescent cell imaging upgrade makes it easier to track many targets simultaneously

Bioluminescent cell imaging upgrade makes it easier to track many targets simultaneously

Imaging live cells with fluorescent proteins has long been a crucial technique for understanding cellular behavior. While bioluminescent proteins offer several advantages over fluorescent proteins, the limited availability of color variants has made it difficult to observe multiple targets simultaneously. Imaging live cells with fluorescent proteins has long been a crucial technique for understanding cellular behavior….
