As the nation marks its 250th anniversary, America’s rising generation is grappling with a profound sense of estrangement from traditional national pride. Rather than embracing uncritical flag-waving, young Americans view the present state of the union with deep skepticism—even while carving out enduring grounds for optimism rooted in community action, mutual care, and inclusive democratic values.

How protective is air conditioning in preventing deaths amid soaring temperatures and record heat levels? Yale researchers found that AC usage cut the amount of annual heat-related deaths by half in the U.S., saving more than 5,000 lives a year. However, while AC is a highly effective heat-adaption tool, protective effects level off once usage passes a certain point. On days of extreme heat, risk

Yale School of Medicine (YSM) has been awarded a grant of nearly $25 million by the Aligning Research to Impact Autism (ARIA) initiative. The award, which is part of ARIA’s Human Developmental Neurobiology Research Hub , focuses on building foundational maps and models of the developing human brain and clarifying how and when autism diverges from typical development.
When Jadesola Crownson graduated with a degree in biochemistry and plans for medical school, she already knew how to think like a scientist. But she wanted to grapple with questions science alone could not answer.
UAlbany physicists played a central role in analyzing a so-far unexplained anomaly in the data from the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector that offers the most compelling hint yet in the hunt for an unseen building block of the universe
