Most worker carpenter ants have one of two fates: They either become foragers who look for food or soldiers who defend the nest. Levels of key hormones influence which role they crawl into. Now, a new study shows the ants’ blood-brain barrier plays a crucial role in this decision, regulating how much of one critical hormone seeps into developing ants’ brains by actively breaking it down.

Causal effect of obesity on the probability of employment in women in Turkey
This study aims to investigate the causal effect of obesity on the employment probability of women in Turkey via the instrumental variable approach by using data from the 2018 Turkey and Demographic Health Survey.

Consistent with the OLS result, the 2SLS estimate indicates that obese women are statistically significantly less likely to be employed when the overweight status of the child is used as an instrument. On the other hand, the statist...
