The ground beneath our feet seems stable. However, over a longer time scale, the Earth is very active—tectonic forces push the outer shell of our planet back and forth, molding the crust into mountain ranges like the Himalayas. Several times throughout Earth’s history, almost all of our planet’s crust merged into a single landmass—a supercontinent.

AbstractMapping neuronal networks is a central focus in neuroscience. While volume electron microscopy (vEM) can reveal the fine structure of neuronal networks (connectomics), it does not provide molecular information to identify cell types or functions. We developed an approach that uses fluorescent single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) to perform multiplexed detergent-free immunolabeling and volumetric-correlated-light-and-electron-microscopy on the same sample.

Dentistry, despite being a critical aspect of healthcare, has historically lagged other industries in adopting the latest technologies. While areas like information technology, manufacturing, and even other medical specialties have been quick to embrace advancements like artificial intelligence, digital record keeping and management systems, and big data analytics, dentistry has been relatively conservative.

On February 18, the African Union, an intergovernmental organisation that encompasses the continent’s 55 states, approved a 15-year moratorium on the trade in donkey skins. For years, donkey hides have been shipped to China to make ejiao, a gelatin used in an alleged traditional Chinese medicine “cure-all”. The decision to stop the slaughter of Africa’s donkeys, a means of production for some of the poorest on the continent, is a significant milestone.
