Florida Atlantic University: Pixels Preserve World’s Most Endangered Marine Mammal, the Vaquita. “Researchers from Florida Atlantic University, in collaboration with the San Diego Natural History Museum, SeaWorld California, and NOAA Fisheries, have created a highly detailed digital record of a rare vaquita skeleton using advanced imaging technologies. The team combined medical CT scanning, […]

On his upcoming #Haven1 mission, his above-knee amputation may reduce fluid shift and kidney stone risk, while engineers adapt #prosthetics for the #spacestation’s handrails.

Brain and Endocrine Crosstalk
by Hemanshu Prabhakar, 2026

This book explores the physiology and neurophysiology of the endocrine system, emphasizing the intricate brain-endocrine crosstalk, from pathophysiology to clinical applications. The dynamic interplay between neural and endocrine system regulates nearly every function of human body, from metabolism and growth to circadian rhythm.

“A mounting body of evidence suggests that one of the keys to elite #endurance performance is having good fatigue resistance”
“It’s less clear why the #women do so much better—or, to put it in the scientific jargon, what aspects of physiological resilience enable the superior durability”

Men Burn Out Faster Than #Women on Long Runs. A New Study Explores Why.
New evidence backs up the claim that #female #physiology is wired for #endurance 🏃‍♀️

Happy to finally see or phylogenetic comparative study on the macroevolution of steep metabolic allometry in the insect order Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) finally published in Ecology Letters!
