Did dust from the Chicxulub asteroid impact kill the dinosaurs?

Image
"Dust might have been responsible for the deadly dinosaur-killing global winter that came after an asteroid slammed into Earth 66 million years ago, finds a study published on 30 October in  Nature Geoscience 1 . A team of geoscientists led by Cem Berk Senel at the Royal Observatory of Belgium in Brussels reinvestigated the aftermath of the impact that formed Mexico’s Chicxulub crater — a collision that wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs and much of life on Earth."

Sexing the Canvas: Art and Gender MOOC

Image
  What do paintings tell us about sex? How is art gendered? In this course we will study some of the world’s most beloved pictures guided by expert curators and art historians who step outside of the square, bringing a gendered reading to the masterpieces contained in the magnificent collections that we have been lucky enough to bring to the Coursera platform. In this course you will learn how: * Gender and sexuality is an integral part of the production and reception of works of art * To increase your understanding of paintings through theories of gender and sexuality * To understand key terms from gender-related theories of art history and museology * To recognise the operation of what is termed ‘the gaze’ and how it works in relation to paintings * Ideas about gender and sexuality can productively be employed in theorising art curatorial practices * To take the initiative in relating theoretical ideas about gender and sexuality to the reading and display of art and visual cultu...

Dietary approaches for exploiting metabolic vulnerabilities in cancer

Image
"  In conclusion, the role of dietary factors in tumor initiation and progression is an area of active investigation, and ongoing research continues to shed light on the complex interplay between systemic nutrient content and tumor growth. While the potential for dietary interventions to impact tumor growth has been recognized, our understanding of the underlying mechanisms remains limited. The future will undoubtedly embrace  personalized dietary modifications,  which must consider each cancer's unique metabolic requirements and signaling pathway activations, especially when combined with pharmacological interventions. Ongoing clinical trials will hopefully provide further clarification on practical and targeted cancer-specific approaches."
