Study shows how a lack of community support caused by inequality exacerbates cycles of poverty

The machine learning techniques scientists use to predict outcomes from large datasets may fall short when it comes to projecting the outcomes of people’s lives, according to a large-scale mass collaboration led by researchers at Princeton.

Princeton researchers have been awarded a National Science Foundation RAPID grant to study how anxiety about COVID-19 influences how we learn and share information about the pandemic.

With the aim of accelerating solutions to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Princeton has awarded University funding for seven new faculty-led research initiatives with strong potential for impact.

The National Science Foundation has awarded emergency grants to two teams of Princeton researchers developing ways to better track and contain pandemics including COVID-19.

A county-by-county analysis of the United States by Princeton University researchers suggests that rural counties with high populations of people over 60 and limited access to health care facilities could eventually be among the hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic.

Princeton this week endorsed new guidelines aimed at accelerating the transition of the University's COVID-19 discoveries into solutions to protect health care workers and prevent, diagnose, treat and contain the pandemic.

As global climate change leads to more hot and dry weather, the resulting droughts are stressing plants, making them less able to remove ozone — which at ground level is a dangerous pollutant — from the air.

Hurricanes moving slowly over an area can cause more damage than faster-moving storms, and rising global temperatures will likely cause more hurricanes to slow down, said Princeton atmospheric scientist Gan Zhang.

During any crisis, timely, and sometimes life-altering, decisions must be made, requiring an extreme amount of sound judgment under uncertainty. The COVID-19 pandemic is no different. In a commentary piece for The Lancet, Professor Eldar Shafir from Princeton and Dr. Redelmeier from the Sunnybrook Research Institute review eight behavioral pitfalls that challenge these judgments. Among the issues they explore are fear of the unknown, personal embarrassment and hindsight bias. Shafir and Redelmeier suggest that awareness of these pitfalls might help to maintain the behavior changes needed to fight the pandemic. 

Responding to a challenge that tragic necessity has thrown to countless research labs around the world, a team from the Department of Chemistry will deploy its new cell mapping technology to shed light on the molecular interplay between COVID-19 and its host. The team is collaborating with Princeton molecular biologists who study viruses.

The existence of superconducting currents, or supercurrents, along the exterior of a superconductor, has been surprisingly hard to find. Now, researchers at Princeton have discovered these edge supercurrents in a material that is both a superconductor and a topological semi-metal. This evidence for topological superconductivity could help provide the foundation for applications in quantum computing and other future technologies.

Princeton Research Day will be held as a series of three early evening webinars May 5-7 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. (Eastern). The presentations will showcase the diversity of research projects under the themes of “Reinterpretation,” “Environment” and “Wellbeing.”

The amount of farmland around the world that will need to be irrigated in order to feed an estimated global population of 9 billion people by 2050 could be up to several billion acres, far higher than scientists currently project, according to new research. The result would be a far greater strain on aquifers, as well as the likely expansion of agriculture into natural ecosystems as farmers search for water.

Princeton ecologists Peter and Rosemary Grant led a team of researchers to discover how genetics and hybridization affected the beak shape of finches on the Galápagos Islands.

Are you truly present with yourself or are you distracted, thinking about what you have to do later, checking your mobile phone, basically not “with” yourself? Is it uncomfortable to be alone, to do nothing, to have space and no immediate thing that’s consuming your focus?

Mentors provide a wealth of knowledge and experience to us, they guide us through challenges and increase our likelihood of success, they lift us up and take our success personally. They are invaluable. So why do only 37% of professionals have one?

If only you knew how to make your employees care as much as you do. If only you knew how to motivate them. Then, they'd be more productive, more enthusiastic. Here's the simple and direct great leaders motivate a team member.

New research now reveals the truth behind secrets—and it’s not what you’d expect. First, 97% of people have one or more secrets at any given time. But most common is 13 secrets per person… whoa! What does keeping a secret do to your brain? Here are the 2 biggest problems.

Last year I traveled to Brazil to give a talk for a creative Facebook Conference. Before traveling I connected with Denise Faertes who offered to be my unofficial tour guide in Rio. Her family showed me the best time, driving around and listening to soul music, lunching at vegan spots around town, and playing dress up with items from her wonderful collection Fruto do Conde....

Many of you have asked how my models, muses and friends are dealing with these incredibly difficult times. I always turn to those older than myself for insight and wisdom and so I asked some of the Advanced Style ladies and gentlemen to share some collective comfort, gratitude, joy and reflection with all of us. More than ever, it’s important to honor, celebrate and protect...

As many of you might known the last episode of Magia Record Cour 1 air a few weeks ago. I hope you guys enjoy the AMV I made in honor of it. It contains some unique scenes and I hope you are not mad at the (trollish?) ending. ;)

My biggest edit of all time, I'm usually against action videos This long, but the song is fucking good I can't avoid it. I'm really tired, probably the IC video I spend the most time and effort, I won't edit demon slayer again until the movie comes out. Hope Ya'll Enjoy
