- Description
- In this episode, we start with a journey to the Cradle of Humankind, where scientists unearthed the missing piece of a fossilized spinal structure of an ancient human ancestor. This vestige of our evolutionary history answers an age-old question (among anthropologists!) about how early humans moved around. Why should you be intrigued by this paleoanthropological finding??
“It’s exciting,” Professor Scott Williams explains, “Because one of the main questions we have in paleontology is, when did bipedalism evolve? How did it evolve?”

- The Shape of Melting Ice
- Date posted
- 2 years ago
- Description
- A team of mathematicians and physicists has discovered how ice formations are shaped by external forces, such as water temperature.
“The shapes and patterning of ice are sensitive indicators of the environmental conditions at which it melted, allowing us to ‘read’ the shape to infer factors such as the ambient water temperature,” explains Leif Ristroph, an associate professor at New York University’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and one of the authors of the study.
At very cold temperatures—those under about 5 degrees C—the pieces take on the shape of a spike or “pinnacle” pointing downward—similar to an icicle, but perfectly smooth (with no ripples). For temperatures above approximately 7 degrees C, the same basic shape forms, but upside down—a spike pointing upward. For in between temperatures, the ice has wavy and rippled patterns melted into its surface. Similar patterns, called “scallops,” are found on icebergs and...

- Buying Groceries Online? Food Label Info Might Be Missing
- Date posted
- 2 years ago
- Description
- Nutrition facts, ingredient lists, and even allergens—all FDA-required information on food labels—are often nowhere to be found when shoppers buy food online.
A new analysis by researchers from the NYU School of Global Public Health and the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University finds that online food retailers do not consistently display nutrition information on their websites—and U.S. laws are lagging behind in mandating the same labeling required for foods sold in brick-and-mortar stores.
“Information required to be provided to consumers in conventional grocery stores is not being uniformly provided online—in fact, it only appears on roughly a third of the online grocery items we surveyed,” said Jennifer Pomeranz, an assistant professor of public health policy and management at the NYU School of Global Public Health and lead author of the study, which was published in Public Health Nutrition.

- Identity Myths Busted

- Description
- With examples of partisanship and tribalism seemingly all around us, it's easy to imagine that the tendency to segregate ourselves into rival groups is an unavoidable part of human nature. But Associate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience professor Jay Van Bavel, director of NYU's Social Identity and Morality lab, and the author of a new book, "The Power of Us: Harnessing Our Shared Identities to Improve Performance, Increase Cooperation, and Promote Social Harmony," says it's not that simple. His research shows that group identity—the same thing that can turn us against each other—can also help us embrace what we have in common and work more effectively on teams.
