Which building blocks of life have been found in space, and which haven't? - Live Science

Reading brain scans. Understanding human immune systems. Hands-on training in anesthesiology. These are just a few of the possibilities for experiential STEM learning in the years ahead for more than 300 Greater New Haven public school students — the newest cohort of Yale Pathways to Science — who gathered recently in Woolsey Hall for orientation. What is Yale Pathways to Science? Yale Pathways to Science supports Yale faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates in developing and executing STEM programs for public middle and high schoolers in New Haven, West Haven, and Orange, all at no cost. (Students are nominated for the program by their math or science teachers, or by a school administrator, and then apply for admission.) How many programs are offered each year through Yale Pathways to Science? Each year, Yale Pathways to Science facilitates Yale community members in hosting more than 250 events for students, spanning topics such as biology, chemistry, physics, and earth and climate science. Students select their level of engagement, registering for events depending on their schedules and interests.

Orcas are hunting great White Sharks around the world, scientists confirmThe killing of great whites by orcas has been reported in the waters of South Africa, California, and Australia, and the implications that the hunting behaviour would have on the marine ecosystem have been considered. In fact, it all started back on May 3, 2017, when the body of a female great white, weighing 1,100 kilograms, washed ashore in Gansbaai, close to Cape Town, with a deep gash through which its 90-kilogram liver had been extracted. Five more corpses of great whites appeared with similar wounds in the coming months, as claimed by shark biologist Alison Towner of Rhodes University. Two adult males, called Port and Starboard, who are supposed to be brothers judging by their dorsal fins that fold differently, were identified as the most probable perpetrators. The connection was officially established in 2022 based on video footage of a drone that caught three orcas chasing and biting a 3-meter great white off Mossel Bay. The sharks quickly disappeared from Dyer Island, one of the best places in the world to witness a great white.
