Stepping into history: Women mark 40 years of working in the U.S. Antarctic Program
The U. S. Antarctic Program marks a significant milestone this month. It was 40 years ago when the first women scientists from the United States were finally allowed to work in Antarctica. On 12 November 1969, six women joined arms and stepped off the ramp of a ski-equipped Hercules LC-130 and onto the nearly two-mile-thick ice sheet at South Pole, the first time any women had been to the bottom of the planet.
The 13 November 2009 issue of the ...

Growth Spurt in Tree Rings Prompts Questions About Climate Change
Anyone who has ever cut down a tree is familiar with the rings radiating out from the center of a tree trunk marking the tree's age. Careful study of tree rings can offer much more: a rich record of history and indications of concerns for the future. Researchers Matthew Salzer and Malcolm Hughes of the University of Arizona's Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research and their colleagues have analyzed tree-rings from bristlecone pine trees at the highest elevations, looking for the reasons

Report Says Musicians Hear Better Than Non-Musicians
The Journal of Neuroscience reports this week that musicians are better than non-musicians at recognizing speech in noisy environments. The finding from a study conducted by neurobiologists at Northwestern University in Chicago is the first biological evidence that musicians' have a perceptual advantage for "speech-in-noise."
When tested against non-musicians, musicians demonstrated faster neural timing, enhanced representation of speech harmonics, and less ...
