Empowerment of Under-represented Researchers / Women Leaders in Academic Research: How an Ear Worm Shapes My Life and My Career
Lessons learned from a career in science and trainee mentorship, with a discussion of some of the issues we face in the research community – health / mental health issues, toxic environments, micro-aggressions and discrimination. Series Description: Invited monthly lecture series highlighting and honoring women and under-represented leaders in science, industry, academics, policy, and advocacy. Originally from a combined effort of Interventional Radiology, Biomedical Engineering, Radiology, Imaging Sciences, Data Science, and Image-Guided Oncology, the series aimed to honor and promote women and confront disparities with...

Now, we investigate an earthquake lightning rod and catch up with quick learning, fast running robot
In this week’s episode of NSF Science Now, we explore a 3D model of a mountain-sized rock that could be an earthquake lightning rod and watch a cheetah robot learn to adapt to changing environments, even setting a new speed record! Check it out on NSF Science Now.This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

New crystal form of imidacloprid insecticide
Pictured is a new crystal form of imidacloprid -- one of the world’s most widely used insecticides and strongly implicated in the decline of bee colonies -- developed by chemists in an effort to sharply reduce its environmental impact.

Lizards are adept at " adaptive radiation. " Learn what that means on NSF's " The Discovery Files. "
Lizards might tell us how they and other species have evolved over centuries, millennia even, to adapt to changing environments. It is a process called "adaptive radiation," how organisms evolve to adapt to changing environments. Researchers are studying Caribbean lizards to see if ecological ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

NIH Director's Seminar Series: A neural basis behind the hardships of dieting
Maintaining healthy body weight is increasingly difficult in our obesogenic environment. Dieting efforts are often overpowered by the internal drive to consume energy-dense foods. Although the selection of calorically rich substrates over healthier options is identifiable across species, the mechanisms behind this choice remain poorly understood. Using a passive devaluation paradigm, we found that exposure to high-fat diet (HFD) suppresses the intake of nutritionally balanced standard chow diet (SD) irrespective of age, sex, body mass accrual and functional leptin or melanocortin-4 receptor signaling. Longitudinal recordin...

Parts of the U.S. are scarred with one-shot volcanoes.
Some volcanoes are short-lived, erupting only once over their lifetime. Yet, that eruption can last for days, years or even decades. Called monogenetic or “one birth” volcanoes, scientists believe an active one represents a major environmental threat and see the tortured terrain they leave behind ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.
