Popular biodiversity app to expand
The nonprofit that runs iNaturalist, a popular app and website for identifying species, has received a $10 million grant to expand. The funding from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, announced last week, will allow iNaturalist—whose website is one of the largest generators of crowd-sourced species-occurrence data—to add users, technology, and observations to inform conservation. iNaturalist hopes to grow in nature-rich parts of the world, such as Asia and South America, which have fewer users uploading data. Since iNaturalist’s founding in 20...

‘Surprising and super cool.’ Quantum algorithm offers faster way to hack internet encryption
In 1994, Peter Shor created one of the first practical uses for a quantum computer: hacking the internet. Shor, an applied mathematician at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), showed how a quantum computer could be exponentially faster than a classical computer at finding the prime number factors of large numbers. Those primes are used as the secret keys that secure most of the encrypted information sent over the internet.
For 30 years, Shor’s algorithm has endured as an example of the promise of quantum computers—although the devices are not yet big or reliable enough to implement it for large...

Her work paved the way for blockbuster obesity drugs. Now, she ’s fighting for recognition
When Svetlana Mojsov heard the spring 2021 announcement, she was startled. The Canada Gairdner International Award, a prestigious biomedical research prize, would be bestowed on three scientists for work underpinning the diabetes and obesity drugs that have exploded in popularity in recent years. “I was really upset,” recalls Mojsov, a chemist at Rockefeller University.
The Gairdner award marked the third time in 4 years that the same trio of scientists—Joel Habener at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Daniel Drucker at the University of Toronto, and Jens Juul Holst at the University of Copenhagen—were ho...

As cannabis laws relax, neuroscientist warns of its dangers for developing brain
One morning in June, barely 5 months after the first dispensary for recreational cannabis opened in New York state, neuroscientist Yasmin Hurd spoke via Zoom to an audience of educators and specialists who work with or run programs for children. The session’s organizers, alarmed by how many children in their South Bronx community were now getting their hands on cannabis, had sought Hurd’s expertise on the drug’s effects.
Hurd put up a slide of the human brain, its bumps and grooves tinged blue, green, yellow, and red to indicate the distribution of the receptors to which tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoac...
