On May, researchers from an international research group from Finland, Canada, and Russia, publicized findings about the dust trail of the comet 17P/Holmes, which orbits the Sun between Mars and Jupiter.
In the study Climate anxiety, pro-environmental action and wellbeing: antecedents and outcomes of negative emotional responses to climate change in 28 countries, anxiety and concern about climate change among young people was predictably high, particularly in Finland, but the researchers found that the action taken to curb and tackle climate change was strong in Finland at the same time.
What if cognition--thinking--is not simply a function of neurons interacting in the brain, but a process involving the entire human organism?
The study, led by the University of Helsinki, identified seven previously novel genetic risk factors for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
