Women more likely to choose wine from female winemakers‎

Promoting women's ownership in wineries can boost sales among the largest group of U.S. wine consumers, who happen to be women. Messages like "proudly made by a woman winemaker" increased women's intentions of purchasing wines, particularly when the label's artwork reinforced the point with feminine gender cues such as flowers. Women were also willing to pay higher prices for those wines, according to the research from Washington State University and Auburn University.

Past climate change: First indicators show resilience in tropical life—up to 1.5°C‎

New geological data indicate that marine life is somewhat resilient to warming in the tropics. Chris Fokkema, Earth scientist at Utrecht University, discovered that tropical algae were largely unaffected by a number of periods of global warming of up to 1.5 degrees Celsius in the distant past. These unicellular organisms form the basis of food webs and are generally very sensitive to rising temperatures. Previous studies of periods of even greater warming showed a dramatic decline in these organisms. "Somewhere beyond those 1.5 degrees, a tipping point occurs."

Meekness isn't weakness. Once considered positive, it's one of the 'undersung virtues' that deserve defense today‎

What do you envision when you think of meekness? You probably see a mousy doormat, someone sheepishly acquiescing to the will of the stronger. When Jesus says, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth," you might think that those wimps will hand it over without a whimper or word of objection to stronger, more ambitious people. The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche called meekness "craven baseness."

Frictionless AI comes at a human cost to learning, growth and connection‎

Artificial intelligence is rapidly making intellectual work and social interaction easier, but that ease may come at a substantial psychological cost, according to researchers from the University of Toronto. In an article published in Communications Psychology, the authors argue that AI's greatest strength, namely removing friction from work and relationships, is also a liability.

Simulations show a path to 'ideal glass' with crystal-like entropy‎

The types of glass that we encounter in everyday life, such as window glass or smartphone screens, are disordered solids. This means that they consist of particles locked in place, like those in solids, but arranged randomly, similarly to how they would be in a liquid.

DNA study uncovers continental origins of Britain's Bronze Age population‎

When ancient DNA studies began to gain attention, little more than a decade ago, the view took hold among geneticists that everything we thought we knew about the peopling of Europe by modern humans was wrong. The story was simpler than anyone was expecting: Europe was settled in just three massive migrations from the east.

Leopards adapted to South Africa's Cape so successfully that they're genetically unique‎

Animals of the same species don't always look the same. From birds with different beak shapes to mammals that vary in size or color, populations living in different places can often look very different.

Curiosity takes its closest look yet at Martian spiderwebs‎

In this age of Mars rovers, questions about the planet's ancient past have shifted. A growing body of evidence supports the idea that Mars was once warm and wet. Now researchers are focused on the timeline of the red planet's watery past. Research efforts all come down to the ultimate question regarding the planet: Did it ever host life?

Hibernating bears reveal clues to fighting muscle loss‎

During hibernation, brown bears spend up to six months lying almost completely still, without eating, drinking or exercising. When spring arrives, they leave their dens with their muscles largely intact.
