The Sam and Nancy Fleming Research Fellowship program has been established and endowed by a gift from the Flemings to the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology. This Fellowship is awarded yearly and supports talented young researchers doing cutting-edge research in basic biomedical sciences and are planning careers in biological or medical research.
The prize aims to “change the paradigm of neuroscience research by creating a community of next-frontier thinkers who can uncover a deeper understanding of the brain and cognition.”
In “Piping Hot Bees & Boisterous Buzz-Runners: 20 Mysteries of Honey Bee Behavior Solved,” biologist Thomas Seeley shares some of the findings of his decades’ worth of investigations into honey bee behavior.
A global analysis by Cornell researchers found that recycling all the human and livestock feces and urine on the planet would contribute substantially to meeting the nutrient supply for all crops worldwide, thereby dramatically reducing the dependency on fossil fuels.
A new protocol can detect and remove fake data created by bots and humans attempting to enroll in online research studies, in order to prevent biased results and unwarranted payments to bad actors – the first such protocol specifically designed for data collected in rural communities.
Four Cornell researchers were chosen from a competitive, global application pool to receive Bezos Earth Fund awards to use AI to address climate change and nature loss.
The study presents an unexpected connection between spermidine, a long-known compound present in all living cells, and sirtuins, an enzyme family that regulates many life-essential functions.
The eyes may be the window to the soul, but the pupil is key to understanding how, and when, the brain forms strong, long-lasting memories, Cornell researchers have found.
Colorado State University has joined the NSF-funded Center for Research on Programmable Plant Systems (CROPPS), led by Cornell University, with Arjun Khakhar spearheading projects on plant genome editing and enhancing nitrogen and water use in crops.
