Taro fields are irrigated using pumps in Zixing City, Hunan Province, China, in August 2022. At the 2023 United Nations climate conference (COP28), the Emirates Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems, and Climate Action marked the first official resolution at a climate COP to explicitly recognize the importance of agrifood systems in climate change.

America’s scientific success is no accident. It has been powered by a decades-long commitment to federal investment in fundamental research that, in turn, nurtured both domestic and foreign talent and prompted the translation of breakthroughs to fuel the economy, improve health, fortify national security, and inspire awe.

Recently, I sat in a room in Cape Town with African climate scientists, watching them present results from sophisticated models examining how solar geoengineering interventions might affect local weather patterns across the continent. These researchers, primarily climate impact modelers who have expanded their work to include solar geoengineering scenarios, were doing exactly what critics claim the Global South lacks capacity for: producing rigorous, locally relevant climate science.

The vascular endothelium forms a crucial interface between tissues and the blood stream and maintains normal blood flow (1). In its homeostatic state, the endothelium resists blood clotting, vasoconstriction, and inflammation and maintains selective barrier functions.

AbstractMarine heatwaves are intensifying under climate change, exposing populations of reef-building corals to mass mortality and intense selective pressure. It remains unknown whether adaptation can keep pace with warming and maintain reef functioning. We have developed an eco-evolutionary metapopulation model for Acropora, an ecologically important yet highly threatened coral taxon.

Editor’s summaryThe uniform and tailored pores found in metal organic framework (MOF) materials should make them excellent for membrane-based separations. However, a major challenge is finding ways to orient the channels in the same direction. Sun et al. overcame these challenges by spin coating a single layer of the MOF UiO-66 onto a membrane support and then overcoating with a hyperbranched polymer to fill in the voids between the MOF particles to form a mixed matrix membrane.

AbstractEarth’s old animals are in decline. Despite this, emerging research is revealing the vital contributions of older individuals to cultural transmission, population dynamics, and ecosystem processes and services. Often the largest and most experienced, old individuals are most valued by humans and make important contributions to reproduction, information acquisition and cultural transmission, trophic dynamics, and resistance and resilience to natural and anthropogenic disturbance.

Quantitative reverse-transcription PCRSnap-frozen frontal cortices were thawed and homogenized with a 27G needle in lysis buffer provided in the PureLink RNA Mini Kit (Invitrogen, 12183018A) with 1% β-mercaptoethanol (Sigma, M3148). RNA was isolated with the PureLink RNA Mini Kit, and the remaining DNA was removed by incubation with RNase-free DNase (Qiagen, 79254). Purified mRNA was then converted to cDNA with the SuperScript IV VILO Master Mix (Invitrogen, 11756050).
