Nature must be a partner, not just a p...
Nature based Solutions (NbS) could support transformative change in environmental sustainability - to address major societal challenges, including the climate crisis - according to a new paper from Oxford researchers. But, the team warns, there must be a move away from the narrow framing of what nature can ‘do’ for society to an integrated approach, where solutions are understood as place-based, activated by people in partnership with nature. This issue has real world imp...

Researchers find climate change impact...
A key type of zooplankton’s inability to adapt to climate change could have adverse implications for marine food chains across the world if a severe global warming event were to occur, researchers at Oxford University have found. Their study investigated how planktonic foraminifera adapted to changing climatic conditions over the last 700,000 years, or seven global ice ages – with results demonstrating that the species maintained a static thermal niche over the period. Th...

Bank credit officers are more likely to approve loan applications earlier and later in the day, while ‘decision fatigue’ around midday is associated with defaulting to the safer option of saying no. These are the findings of a study by researchers in Cambridge’s Department of Psychology, published today in the journal Royal Society Open Science.  Decision fatigue is the tiredness caused by having to make difficult decisions over a long period. Previous studies have...

Scientists have made a promising step towards developing a new drug for treating acute myeloid leukaemia, a rare blood disorder. In a study published today in Nature, Cambridge researchers report a new approach to cancer treatment that targets enzymes which play a key role in translating DNA into proteins and which could lead to a new class of cancer drugs. Our genetic code is written in DNA, but in order to generate proteins – molecules that are vital to the function of li...
