A research team has succeeded in analysing two temporally consecutive species of fossilised brittle stars. The findings show that a marine catastrophe 428 million years ago contributed to a radical change in the animals’ appearance. The new study clarifies how environmental disruptions can set off major evolutionary processes. Brittle stars are a group of echinoderms that are closely related to st

Den vanliga föreställningen att äldre generellt är teknikskeptiska utmanas i en ny avhandling. Tvärtom visar många äldre personer intresse, särskilt när tekniken upplevs som meningsfull, lätt att använda och relevant i vardagen. Men så väl yngre som äldre uttrycker oro för teknikens miljöpåverkan och kostnader. Det är inte åldern i sig som påverkar attityden till digital teknik, utan andra faktore
