Bilingual courses in Europe: Proper use of language is professors' main concern‎

A scientific review carried out by a team in the English and German Philology Department at the UCO explores the pedagogical dimension of bilingual university programs in Europe. The implementation of bilingual education is part of an educational trend committed to internationalization that took off in the 2000s and extended to the university level. At the global level, the promotion of languages as tools for international academic communication has become essential, with English, in particular, becoming a lingua franca in both the global scientific community and in higher education.

Colossal's techy new HQ helps Dallas startup be 'in your face' with de-extinction mission‎

An animatronic dire wolf looks around then tilts its head to greet you in the lobby. An animated megalodon shark circles its prey in a conference room made of floor-to-ceiling screens before striking and "breaking" the glass.

New farm accounting method measures natural capital across 50 Australian farms‎

La Trobe University researchers have developed a new way to measure and report the environmental performance of farms in a move that could pave the way for future "sustainability ratings" on consumer food and fiber products. Published in Methods in Ecology and Evolution, the measurement, developed across 50 mixed grazing and cropping farms in south-eastern Australia, addresses one of the biggest challenges facing agriculture: the rising demand for accurate, farm-level data on biodiversity, ecosystem services and environmental sustainability.

Will natural gas exports wreck the Gulf of California ecosystem?‎

As the effects of climate change intensify, it has become standard practice for major corporations to pledge their support for environmental sustainability. This is as it should be, because genuine corporate engagement is essential to the success of our collective response—and it makes good business sense.

What freezing plants in blocks of ice can tell us about the future of Svalbard's plant communities‎

How will a warming Arctic affect plant growth on Svalbard? Researchers encased plant plots in a thick layer of ice during the winter and used little greenhouses to heat up those plots in the summer. The surprise? The plants that got the harshest treatment did just fine.

Hidden insect diversity in grass shoots threatened by mowing‎

When it comes to biodiversity, researchers and the public tend to focus on large-scale patterns. This overlooks a hidden but precious diversity: small, inconspicuous wasps, midges, flies, beetles and other insects that live in plants. These tiny creatures are actually very common, as shown by a team of researchers at the University of Göttingen and the Hungarian HUN-REN Center for Ecological Research.

From life events to travel trends, DEMOS tool brings demographic realism to transportation modeling‎

Many personal transportation-related decisions—such as vehicle purchases—are influenced by life events, like the birth of a child or a change in employment. Modeling tools that reflect how life trajectories evolve over time enable researchers and planners to more effectively assess how people might adopt new transportation technologies.

Researchers warn ESA loopholes may speed coral loss around Guam‎

The United States government is rolling back conservation policies in a way that demonstrably risks accelerating already at-risk coral reefs around its island territory, Guam, in the Pacific Ocean. Part of the issue is the way the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is defined. Researchers from the University of Tokyo, University of Guam, University of Technology Sydney and Cornell University strongly suggest broadening key species categories such that reefs are more generally protected. At present, overly specific terminology means anything outside key categories doesn't fall under the ESA and is therefore open to further human interference.
