Studying the links between cilia and signaling pathways sheds light on our understanding of nervous system development.
Old carbon reservoirs unlikely to cause massive greenhouse gas release
Data shows we don’t need to be as concerned about large methane releases from large carbon reservoirs in response to future warming; we should be more concerned about methane released from human activities.
Communicating science can benefit from scientists “being human”
MU researchers determine a scientist’s perceived authenticity can inform trust and credibility with their audience.
