:: Processes and patterns of interaction as units of selection: An introduction to ITSNTS thinking [Evolution]Many practicing biologists accept that nothing in their discipline makes sense except in the light of evolution, and that natural selection is evolution’s principal sense-maker. But what natural selection actually is (a force or a statistical outcome, for example) and the levels of the biological hierarchy (genes, organisms, species, or…

:: Processing power beyond Moore's LawIn 1965, businessman and computer scientist Gordon Moore observed that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years, which means a doubling of computer processing power. The prediction was so accurate that this phenomenon was dubbed "Moore's Law."
:: Prof Stephen Hawking funeral: Legacy 'will live forever'Tributes led by actor Eddie Redmayne are paid at the funeral of the visionary scientist in Cambridge.
:: Professor Amitay receives Air Force grant to study flow separation on wing surfacesMichael 'Miki' Amitay, the James L. Decker '45 Endowed Chair in Aerospace Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has received a grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research to study the phenomenon of flow separation on aircraft wings, which could lead to improved aerodynamic performance in future-generation air vehicles.
:: Professor defends role in Cambridge Analytica data scandalThe psychologist behind an app that harvested data from 50 million Facebook users defended his role in the scandal Sunday, saying he "never heard a word" of opposition from the social media giant.
:: Professor voices concerns over robots and AI taking over PRRobots are on the rise in the field of communication and news gathering. Does this threaten not only jobs but the ethical basis of society?
:: Professor: Ny type storage er vinderen, når man skal gemme data i 30 årDiske, der crasher, og højt strømforbrug er storage-teknologiens akilleshæl. En ny generation af NV RAM er en enhjørning, som kan udkonkurrere tape og gøre eksplosion i datamængder til at betale.

:: Profile of Alexander Y. Rudensky, winner of the 2018 Vilcek Prize in Biomedical Science [Profile]In October 2017, the Chicago-based MacArthur Foundation announced the names of the latest winners of the renowned “genius” grants: fellowships awarded for “originality, insight, and potential,” to outstanding scientists, writers, visual artists, and members of other professions. Of the 24 fellows selected, at least one-third are immigrants to the United…
:: Profile of Dorothy L. Cheney and Robert M. Seyfarth [Profiles]Field studies in Africa over the past four decades by ethologists Dorothy Cheney and Robert Seyfarth have uncovered a trove of insights into the behavior, communication, and social cognition of nonhuman primates. The pair’s research further reveals evolutionary antecedents of the human mind. University of Pennsylvania professors emeriti, Cheney and…
:: Profile of Warren J. Leonard [Profile]The immune system is the human body’s natural defense against disease. Many molecules and cells take part in the immune response, including cytokines, a critical group of intercellular signaling molecules that influence the development and actions of immune cells.

:: Programmed self-assembly of peptide-maȷor histocompatibility complex for antigen-specific immune modulation [Immunology and Inflammation]A technology to prime desired populations of T cells in the body—particularly those that possess low avidity against target antigen—would pave the way for the design of new types of vaccination for intractable infectious diseases or cancer. Here, we report such a technology based on positive feedback-driven, programmed self-assembly of…
