A rare visitor from another star system has been spotted: the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS! It was detected July 1 by the NASA-funded Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, or ATLAS. Most known comets orbit the Sun and are bound by the gravity of the solar system ... but this object came from far beyond the pull of our Sun, traveling 137,000 miles per hour from another star. Now, scientists are racing to get a good image of it, in the hopes it can answer big questions like: What is the

To identify fundamental neuroscientific principles that generalize across species, neuroscientists must frame their research through an evolutionary lens.

In this QCast episode, join co-hosts Jullia and Tom as they unpack the Bayesian Optimal Interval, or BOIN, design for early-phase oncology studies. You'll hear how BOIN blends Bayesian reasoning with simple decision rules, why regulators now call it 'fit for purpose,' and how sponsors are using it to speed up dose-finding while keeping patient safety front and centre.Key TakeawaysBOIN design is a model-assisted Bayesian dose-escalation method with pre-defined escalation, de-escalation

This week marks the 100th anniversary of the Scopes "Monkey Trial" — where a teacher was charged with the crime of teaching Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. At the time, it was illegal in Tennessee to "teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals." The trial, which was orchestrated to be a media spectacle, foreshadowed the cultural divisions that continue today
