Researchers used a complete map of the human genome to detect large DNA changes associated with cancer. Their approach takes more time than traditional methods, but produces clearer, more reliable results. New article by @ChisomHalimat! #cancerresearch sciworthy.com/a-complete-dna…

Astronomers found that regions of space with more heavy elements tend to be cooler and form fewer stars than regions with less heavy elements. sciworthy.com/what-lies-betw…

Researchers applied statistical analyses to more clearly explain how machine learning models make breast cancer predictions. New article by @ChisomHalimat! #scicomm #sciencenews #science #cancerresearch sciworthy.com/explaining-bre…

Researchers at Berkeley studied how neurons in mice’s brains fill in missing visual information, a process called "sensory inference." #scicomm #sciencenews #neuroscience sciworthy.com/how-the-brain-…

Scientists with the SETI@home project identified 92 potential incoming radio signals that warrant further investigation. The 4th in our series of articles for IAUS 404: Advancing the Search for Technosignatures! #scicomm #sciencenews #astrobiology #SETI sciworthy.com/has-earth-rece…

“Radical mundanity,” the concept that aliens are as technologically limited as we are, could explain why we haven’t met any. The 3rd in our series of articles for IAUS 404: Advancing the Search for Technosignatures! #astrobiology #technosignatures sciworthy.com/radical-mundan…

Scientists calculated the maximum distance at which extraterrestrials with modern human-level technology could detect radio signals from Earth. The second in our series of articles for IAUS 404: Advancing the Search for Technosignatures! #astrobiology sciworthy.com/are-aliens-rec…

Astronomers proposed that the industrial gases nitrogen trifluoride and sulfur hexafluoride could provide measurable signs of advanced technology on distant exoplanets. #scicomm #sciencenews #astronomy #astrobiology #technosignatures sciworthy.com/these-gases-co…

Astronomers used new JWST data to unravel the structures of 22 dusty star-forming galaxies that were hidden from previous telescopes. #scicomm #Science #sciencenews #astronomy #JWST sciworthy.com/jwst-reveals-h…

European ant queens can lay eggs of a different species to mate with them and create a separate set of workers. These worker ants may represent the only case of animal domestication not performed by humans. sciworthy.com/the-european-a…

Scientists have shown that an understudied bacterium is widespread in deep soils worldwide and has adapted to life with very little energy. #scicomm #Science #sciencenews #microbiology sciworthy.com/hidden-bacteri…

Scientists used technology similar to ChatGPT to develop a tool that can differentiate between the DNA of cancer cells and healthy cells in a patient’s tissue samples. New article by @ChisomHalimat! #scicomm #sciencenews #CancerResearch sciworthy.com/finding-cancer…

The deep sea is one of Earth’s largest reservoirs of carbon, so why don't microbes consume much of it? New on Sciworthy! #scicomm #sciencenews #microbiology sciworthy.com/why-do-deep-se…
