When school let out for summer on Wednesday, close to 100 Yalies left campus with a virtual toolbox in hand — a starter pack of data science methods, excellent for digging into whichever academic fields await them.
These students were enrolled in the...
Frogs already knew it wasn’t easy being green, but the going just got a lot tougher for the 1,012 additional species of amphibians who have now been newly identified as at risk of extinction in a Yale-led study.
This paper is published in Current Biology...
More than a quarter of children with autism spectrum disorder are also diagnosed with disruptive behavior disorders. For the first time, Yale researchers have identified a possible biological cause: a key mechanism that regulates emotion functions...
For her pioneering work in computer science, Grace Murray Hopper ’30 M.A., ’34 Ph.D. has been dubbed the “queen of code” by her biographers. Yet, beneath that crown was the brain of a mathematician, according to an article in Notices of the American...
A group of international experts has developed a much-needed framework to significantly improve the monitoring of status and trends of species worldwide. This finding comes after a multi-year collaboration under the auspices of the Group on Earth...
Like going from a pinhole camera to a Polaroid, a significant mathematical update to the formula for a popular bioinformatics data visualization method will allow researchers to develop snapshots of single-cell gene expression not only several times...
“I don’t want students leaving Yale and going through life with a feeling that everything powered by big data and algorithms is a black box,” said Alan Gerber, dean of social science and the Charles C. & Dorathea S. Dilley Professor of Political...
For years, green has been the most reliable hue for live brain imaging, but after using a new high-throughput screening method, researchers at the John B. Pierce Laboratory and the Yale School of Medicine, together with collaborators at Stanford...
Carla Staver, assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at Yale, has won an award of just over $1 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop a better understanding of wildfires globally. The five-year grant is through the...
