Coyote numbers are often higher in areas where they are hunted, according to new research from University of Utah. These counterintuitive findings are based on images from hundreds of trap cameras deployed in nationwide campaign to document wildlife.

A joint U.S.-Japan project funded by the NSF and JST, involving researchers from FAU, Lehigh University, and Japanese institutions like Kyoto University, aims to develop a human-centered flood risk management framework. Supported by a $1 million grant, the three-year project focuses on integrating natural conditions, public perceptions, policies, and the impacts of flooding on vulnerable groups such as low-income, minority, disabled, and elderly populations.

In a new paper in Nature Communications, researchers in the Center for Precision Engineering for Health (CPE4H) at the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science (Penn Engineering) describe minimal versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT).

Capable of precisely editing genes, activating gene expression and repressing genes all at the same time, the technology opens new doors to treating genetic diseases and investigating the fundamental mechanisms of how our DNA functions.
