Computer science researchers have demonstrated that a widely used technique called neural network pruning
A new study finds the microbial ecosystem in the guts of wild marten (Martes americana) that live in relatively pristine natural habitat is distinct from the gut microbiome of wild marten that live in areas that are more heavily impacted by human activity.
Climate change is the result of many human activities, from carbon emissions to deforestation, and it will take multiple and varied interventions to mitigate it, including legislation, regulation, and market-based solutions implemented at local, national, and global levels.

Therapy is a collaborative process informed not just by a practitioner’s expertise but also by the patient’s expectations about that expertise and how likely they are to benefit from it.
We often conceive of learning through the lens of cramming for an exam or teaching a dog to sit, but humans and other mammals aren’t the only entities capable of adapting to their environment—
Experiences of early adversity due to poverty, abuse, and neglect are known to interfere with children’s cognitive and emotional development.
Many of us spend our lives chasing “happiness,” a state of contentment that is more difficult for some to achieve than others.
