Antarctic Radar Makes First Measures of Earth's Ionosphere
Using the Program of the Antarctic Syowa Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere/Incoherent Scatter (PANSY) radar, the largest fine-resolution atmospheric radar in the Antarctic, researchers performed the first incoherent scatter radar observations in the southern hemisphere.

Fungi: An "Under Explored" Resource in Drug Discovery
Our global population is aging. It's also growing. It's also afflicted by a wide variety of illnesses, some of which we lack a cure or even symptomatic treatment for. Now, possibly more than ever, novel drug compound discovery is pertinent. How can fungi help?

Which Areas of the Brain Decide Punishment?
Researchers have conducted a meta-analysis of 17 articles to find out which areas of the brain are involved decision-making for rendering social punishment. It would appear that in case of both victims of violations as well as witnesses, punishment decisions activate the brain regions responsible for focusing one's attention, processing information, and responding effectively to social interaction

First Steps Towards a Vaccine for Pancreatic Cancer
Researchers have developed a personalized vaccine system that could ultimately delay the onset of pancreatic cancer.
Published in: Clinical Cancer Research
Despite the tremendous advances of the past decade with new treatment modalities such as targeted agents and immunotherapy coming to the fore, there is still a continued unmet need for new treatments for intractable cancers and to improve response rates. From optimizing immunotherapy to second-guessing cancer’s next evolutionary step – there has never been a more innovative era in cancer drug discovery.

Bacterial Bloom
A NASA satellite captured this false-color image of a large bloom of cyanobacteria (Nodularia) swirling in the Baltic Sea. These cyanobacteria fix inorganic atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into a form available to life, a process fundamental for marine ecosystems.
