The findings provide preliminary evidence about how quickly crops bred for single-species, or ‘monoculture’, settings can adapt to growing with other crop species. Growing multiple food crops together is a more sustainable farming practice mimicking highly productive wild plant communities. This process, known as intercropping, takes advantage of complementary features of different types of crops to maximise production and minimise the need for fertilisers and other environmentally harmful practices. For example, indigenous people in North America have long grown corn, beans and squash together to maximise the yield of each plant and reduce the need for watering or fertiliser. “Most…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Lucky? The meet-cute between heroine Dylan and hero Mason was inspired by real events in my life. I was driving on the highway just outside of Ottawa, going home to Montreal, when a piglet “flew,” or so it seemed, out of the back of a transport truck, narrowly missing my car! The poor thing looked lifeless as it rolled to the roadside. I swerved, almost had a collision, was horrified, certain the piglet was dead, and decided to chase after the truck, hoping to get him to stop and…

In new studies published in Physical Review Letters and a special issue of Classical and Quantum Gravity on September 14, a team of researchers present the most precise test yet of the Weak Equivalence Principle, a key component of the theory of general relativity. The report describes the final results from the MICROSCOPE mission, which tested the principle by measuring accelerations of free-falling objects in a satellite orbiting Earth. The team found that the accelerations of pairs of objects differed by no more than about one part in 1015 ruling out any violations of the Weak Equivalence Principle or deviations…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Fatal Rounds? With this book, the character came to me before the story. I wondered what it would be like to create a protagonist with schizoid personality disorder (a condition in which people avoid social interactions and have little desire to form close personal relationships) and put her in a conflict situation where she has to make questionable choices. As someone who doesn’t let societal norms confine her, my character’s choices lead her down some ethically challenged roads. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters…

National Institutes of Health researchers have discovered a specific network of proteins that is necessary to restore hearing in zebrafish through cell regeneration. The study, led by investigators at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), may inform the development of treatments for hearing loss in humans. The findings were published in Cell Genomics. Although hair cell loss cannot be replaced in humans, many animals, including zebrafish, can restore hearing after injury through the regeneration of hair cells. The regenerative properties of zebrafish hair cells prompted researchers to use this animal to understand some fundamental properties of regeneration. Hearing loss…

Todd McFarlane, the creator of the hit ’90s comic Spawn, has been talking about making a new movie based on his signature character for a long time.
