Neanderthal prey: elephant teeth preserve 125,000-year-old record of movement and diet
Fossil teeth can preserve remarkable information, much like a biological identity card with data about the lives of individuals tens of thousands of years ago. By analyzing teeth, a new study published in Science Advances reconstructed the life history of four straight-tusked elephants (Palaeoloxodon…

‘You can be excellent in your field, but that does not make you a good teacher’
Training students to become medical professionals is an important task of a university medical centre. But teaching does not always receive the space and recognition it deserves. This needs to change, says Professor Alexandra Langers. Medical education is a profession in its own right.

New study shows how a single star can reshape an entire galaxy
Astronomers who simulate galaxies do not always get the same result, even when they start from identical conditions. New research from Leiden University shows that this is not a flaw, but a consequence of how galaxies behave — and how they are modelled.

As a parent, you influence your child’s depression (and why that is also good news)
‘Shouldn’t you get out of bed for once?’ Critical or controlling behaviour from parents, however well intentioned, can worsen the symptoms of young people with depression. That is the conclusion of PhD research by psychologist Wilma Wentholt. But warmth and emotional support can, in fact, have a protective…

Huge reservoir of star-forming gas discovered in surprisingly mature galaxy in the early Universe
Astronomers have discovered an enormous supply of cold molecular gas in a galaxy shortly after the Big Bang. The finding offers a rare glimpse of the raw material from which the first large galaxies were built. Measurements suggest that around 95 per cent of the normal matter in the galaxy studied,…
