For the more than 1 million Americans who live with type 1 diabetes, daily insulin injections are literally a matter of life and death. And while there is no cure, a Cornell-led research team has developed a device that could revolutionize management of the disease.

Scientists pioneer in developing a novel approach to simply sow coral recruits onto degraded reefs like farmers scatter seedlings on a field. With this innovation, formerly costly and time-consuming handling can be minimized, and may allow for effective large-scale reef restoration. The study led by SECORE International was recently published.

Climate scientists often warn that rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere will cause an increase in the number and intensity of heat waves in many regions of the world. But a new study is cautioning that climate change will also significantly increase humidity, magnifying the effects of these heat waves and making it more difficult for humans to safely work or be outside.

Los científicos del clima a menudo advierten que el aumento de los niveles de CO2 en la atmósfera provocará un aumento en el número y la intensidad de las olas de calor en muchas regiones del mundo. Pero un nuevo estudio advierte que el cambio climático también aumentará significativamente la humedad, lo que magnificará los efectos de estas olas de calor y hará más difícil que los humanos trabajen de manera segura o estén afuera.
