In a perfect scenario, individual COVID-19 testing would be widely and readily accessible. In reality, tests are still in short supply, and likely cases far outnumber testing capacity, making the prevalence and trajectory of the disease hard to measure....
One of the biggest challenges facing scientists, public health experts, and society itself during the COVID-19 crisis is the need to develop an effective vaccine for the virus that causes the disease.
Researchers around the world are racing to develop...
From early prenatal development through childhood, the prefrontal cortex of the human brain undergoes an avalanche of developmental activity. In some cases, it also contains seeds of neuropsychiatric illnesses and conditions such as autism spectrum...
In a challenging season for science and for humanity, Yale’s recently published research continues to expand our knowledge of the natural world in diverse fields of inquiry.
This month, Insights & Outcomes shines a light on energy conversion, a...
