CCNY, CSHL biologists find birdsong of isolates reverts to norm over several generations
In an experiment that points to a role for genetics in the development of culture, biologists at The City College of New York (CCNY) and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) have discovered that zebra finches raised in isolation will, over several generations, produce a song similar to that sung by the species in the wild. view more (2009-05-04)
Ants and avalanches: Insects on coffee plants follow widespread natural tendency
Ever since a forward-thinking trio of physicists identified the phenomenon known as self-organized criticality---a mechanism by which complexity arises in nature---scientists have been applying its concepts to everything from economics to avalanches. view more (2008-01-24)
MIGRATING DOCTORS (pp 177, 245)
The increasing divide between less-developed and more-developed countries in the quality of health care is well recognised.
