Long before Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016, or Kamala Harris became the first woman vice president and launched her own presidential bid in 2024, another woman set her sights on the White House, at a time when women couldn’t even vote.…
The 1970s remain a minefield in Argentina. Nothing underscores this more than the discussion about who is responsible for the cycle of political violence and the number of missing persons, a topic that recurs time and again, dividing those who openly hold denialist positions on the one hand and those who uphold the symbol of the 30,000 on the other.…
It has been three years since Muses, the art blog of BJPsych International, was launched. Although time travels fast, reflection is an active process of slowing time down to take stock of what time has bequeathed us.
Several new hotspots have been identified in the past three decades, particularly in Italy, but none have approached the numbers observed at those three traditional sites. Up to now, the flyway connecting Greece with North Africa during post-breeding migration has been studied through observations from the island of Antikythira, located between southern Greece and Crete.

Magnetic fields are at the core of many imaging technologies. A widely known modality is MRI, a standard procedure in medical imaging, which is however limited by a long scanning time and the ability to only image anatomical regions containing sufficient amounts of water. The more recent magnetic particle imaging (MPI) instead promises functional images of the dynamics of nanoparticle tracers with high temporal resolution.

This study not only adds valuable information about Brazil’s overlooked parasite diversity but also challenges how we classify one of the most important groups of fish parasites. It’s a reminder that even in familiar waters, there's still a lot left to discover.
How do we define success in radical politics? This is a question I have asked myself throughout my research and writing on what many historians, politicians, and colleagues deem a sensational, unequivocal failure. The Attica Prison Uprising began with a flash of possibility yet ended with dozens killed and even more wounded, setting off a slew of pro-carceral propaganda from the Nixon and Rockefeller administrations amid intensifying mass incarceration. What does it mean to recognize the Attica Prison Uprising as a success, and what tools might we find in the language of performance for making this kind of political assessment?
How instructors are responding to the rise in AI Artificial intelligence (AI), while not a new topic, has risen in popularity since the development of software like ChatGPT and image generators that create visuals from phrases such as ‘purple dog riding a bike.’…
While it's well known that pigs need amino acids to grow, what’s less understood—but just as important—is how these nutrients influence the fate of immune cells: whether they become fighters, peacekeepers, or memory cells for future protection.
Childhood overweight and obesity rates continue to rise globally, increasing the risk of chronic health problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and mental health issues.

Reducing nitrogen oxides emissions from aviation has been an endeavor for the aeronautics industry for several decades along with increasing efficiencies of turbofan engines.
How long will humankind survive? Besides the fact that we have been able to eliminate ourselves with nuclear weapons for decades, even without a third world war, the challenge to take care of the resources of our planet remains; we need to use them in a way that our children and their children can have a place on Earth as well. In this blog post Andreas Losch discusses his recent review article in the International Journal of Astrobiology, The need of an ethics of planetary sustainability
