In the rushing waters of the Jinsha River, two types of bacteria – free-living (FL) and particle-attached (PA) – play crucial roles in shaping the aquatic ecosystem. Despite their shared habitat, these bacteria have distinct ways of merging their communities, a process called coalescence. Scientists
Rivers around the world face big problems like pollution and damming. These issues threaten the lives of both people and animals that depend on rivers. To fix these problems, we need to work together in special places called River Co-Learning Arenas (RCAs). RCAs are like classrooms where different p
Cancer, we know, is caused by tweaks in our genes. Scientists are hot on the trail of these mutated drivers, hoping to shed light on how cancer starts. But figuring out which genes are common or unique to different cancers is no walk in the park. This study aims to change that. Scientists have whipp
River floods are happening more often and with more force. This means that the people in charge of rivers need to think about new ways to work with communities to plan how to deal with floods. Talking and sharing information between these groups can be tricky. If communities feel left out, mistrust
Scientists in China took a deep dive into the genes of over 6, 500 tissue samples from people with advanced colon cancer. Their goal? To find genes that drive this disease differently in various groups. By looking at 425 cancer-related genes, they discovered 101 potential drivers, with 36 being new
Early one Friday morning in 2025, a Parham resident found themselves in serious trouble after the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) spotted them driving on Road 38 in Parham. This individual had been explicitly told by the Ontario Court of Justice not to operate any vehicle due to previous offenses. A
Ever wondered how China is trying to bridge the gap between cities and villages? One way is through the "new-type urbanization" (NTU) and "rural revitalization" (RR) plan. This isn't your typical growth story; it's about creating a new urban-rural relationship. Researchers used something called the
The Milwaukee Bucks lost a tough game against the Brooklyn Nets. They were down by 20 points but fought back in the fourth quarter. The Nets didn't score for the last seven minutes, yet they won. The Bucks have now lost three times to the Nets this season. After the game, star player Giannis Antetok
Did you know that how we live and interact within our society can influence whether we get cancer screenings? Research suggests that social factors, like where we live, how much money we have, and who we hang out with, play a part in whether we keep up with recommended cancer screenings. However, ex
Hey there, did you know how much human activities and the rocks around rivers can affect water quality? Well, let's dive into a study about this in southern Nigeria. Researchers looked at river water during both the wet and dry seasons to see what's up with the chemistry and quality. They collected
