Why Some Children Struggle With Math: A Look at Dyscalculia
Researchers highlight how little is known about developmental dyscalculia, a condition that makes math problem-solving persistently difficult for some children.
Hexagonal tunnel fossils likely built by small crustaceans, not worms
A new study suggests that the mysterious hexagonal tunnels in fossils, which puzzled scientists for over 170 years, were made by small crustaceans rather than worms.
Bacterial stress responses diverge between RNA and protein levels
Measuring mRNA alone may misrepresent how bacteria adapt to stress, since protein and RNA signals can disagree.
