Kristyan Nicholson When entering Kristyan Nicholson´s MFA exhibition TOMORROW HAS NEVER BEEN AS CLOSE AS IT IS RIGHT NOW, I was struck by how quiet the works were. There was an austere yet playful atmosphere, where I felt invited to investigate the potentiality myself, as Nicholson seemed to offer a series of wonderments to the viewer, through both sculpture and video using materials such as the s

Solitary bees that ingested the pesticide clothianidin when foraging from rapeseed flowers became slower. In addition, the strawberries pollinated by these bees were smaller. This is shown by a new study from Lund University in Sweden. Strawberries are known to become bigger if bees have visited their flowers, but how strawberry growth is affected if the bees have been exposed to neonicotinoid ins

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Could a capsule of insulin crystals a day stop the development of type 1 diabetes? There are indications that this could be the case. In the international TrialNet study, which follows relatives of individuals with type 1 diabetes, researchers are investigating whether oral insulin could prevent or delay the disease.
