Six thousand tons of sunscreen wash through U.S. coral reefs every year.
Coral reefs worldwide provide divers with a colorful tour of the undersea world. Many divers submerge lathered in sunscreen, each year, leaving 6,000 tons of sunscreen washing through U.S. reefs. But how does this impact how corals protect themselves from sunlight? Learn more on NSF's "The ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

What is 3D bioprinting? It ’ s been used to print living human tissue, but what else could it create
Each year, 6.8 million Americans fracture a bone. Most often, the body begins forming new bone about two weeks after the break. But sometimes, it needs a little help! Could 3D bioprinting of living human tissue be the answer? Learn more on NSF's "The Discovery Files."This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

Introducing OpenAlex: an open and complete index of the global research system
Bibliographic indices and Scientific Knowledge Graphs (SKGs) like Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Crossref are increasingly relied upon to support research management, literature search, and in-silico knowledge discovery tools. However, existing systems have been either a) relatively complete but closed, or b) relatively open and incomplete. OpenAlex is a new SKG that is both more complete and more open than existing tools. Built on a fully open-source codebase, its CC0-licensed dataset is available via a snapshot or API, and it is supported by a self-sustaining nonprofit. Moreover, by combining machine learning (harve...

NIH Director's Seminar Series: Long-range synaptic and local receptor-mediated control of dopaminergic neuron excitability – dendrites, soma and axons
Dopamine-releasing neurons located in the midbrain play a central role in reward and motor learning behaviors. Their dysfunction is implicated in an array of disorders from addiction to Parkinson ’ s Disease (PD). The Cellular Neurophysiology Section headed by Dr. Zayd Khaliq examines the circuit, synaptic and intrinsic mechanisms that contribute to the firing patterns that underlie dopamine-dependent behaviors. The first part of the lecture will discuss the ionic and modulatory mechanisms of firing patterns observed in dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra during aversive behaviors. Axons of dopaminergic neurons ...
