Google's One-Time 'Chief Technology Advocate' on Making Facebook LikableOver the years I’ve often turned to my friend Michael Jones for guidance about the cultural and social effects of technology. For instance, five years ago I did an Atlantic interview with him about how the dawn of omnipresent mapping-on-your-phone was about to change personal and collective life. (He had been one of the inventors of Google Earth.) A few years before that, when Jones was the “chie

How do flowers know when it’s time to bloom?Researchers have uncovered exactly where a key protein forms before it triggers the flowering process in plants. Until now, no one has pinpointed which cells produce the small protein, called Flowering Locus T (FT). The study also points to an extensive intercellular signaling system that regulates FT production. “Understanding where FT is located and how it coordinates with other flowering facto

Diabetes drug may also tackle nicotine withdrawalAn inexpensive drug commonly used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes may block symptoms of nicotine withdrawal, at least in rodents. After researchers exposed laboratory mice to a two-week regimen of nicotine they displayed no withdrawal symptoms when they took the drug, called metformin, the researchers report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences . Cigarette smoking is the

What is the best way to treat infected hip replacements?New research has found treating an infected hip replacement in a single stage procedure may be as effective or better than the widely used two-stage procedure. Hip replacement is a very common operation that is effective at providing pain relief and improving mobility, however, infection can sometimes occur following joint replacement. The findings have wide implications for orthopedic surgery, th

Giant solar tornadoes put researchers in a spinDespite their appearance solar tornadoes are not rotating after all, according to a European team of scientists. A new analysis of these gigantic structures, each one several times the size of the Earth, indicates that they may have been misnamed because scientists have so far only been able to observe them using 2-dimensional images.

Housing recovery after disasters needs a remodelThe types of housing and homeowners—and how US policy handles each—play a major role in recovery outcomes following a natural disaster, a new study reports. The findings show the United States needs to change how it funds housing recovery, says Sara Hamideh, assistant professor of community and regional planning at Iowa State University. “Housing is such a unifier because it’s so essential to eco

Despite the evidence, STEM lectures remain the normAn analysis of more than 2,000 college classes in science, technology, engineering, and math has a central lesson: Enough with the lectures. Prior research has identified lecturing as among the styles least effective at teaching and engaging students. The largest-ever observational study of undergraduate STEM education, published in Science , monitored nearly 550 faculty as they taught more than

Expressive faces predict who’s liberal or conservativeLiberals express more emotions with their faces than conservatives do, new research shows. “We did four studies for this paper, and they all triangulate on the same thing,” says Kevin Smith, professor and chair of political science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. “People can, with greater-than-chance accuracy, figure out whether you’re liberal or conservative just by looking at your face,

Brains of contact and non-contact sport athletes aren’t the sameResearchers have found differences in the brains of athletes who participate in contact sports compared to those who participate in noncontact sports. Researchers observed the differences as both groups were given a simple visual task. The results could suggest that a history of minor but repeated blows to the head can result in compensatory changes to the brain as it relates to eye movement func
