How Childbirth Changes A Mothers Bones Forever New York University 2022-11-17 | Giving birth and breastfeeding may change your bones forever, new findings from researchers in NYU’s Department of Anthropology and College of Dentistry suggest. The team matched the growth of femur bones to reproductive history for primates who had lived at the Sabana Seca Field Station in Puerto Rico and died of natural causes. Using electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, they found lower concentrations of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus in the bones of females who experienced reproduction. “A bone is not a static and dead portion of the skeleton,” the researchers note. “Moreover, these findings reaffirm the significant impact giving birth has on a female organism.”“Quite simply, evidence of reproduction is ‘written in the bones’ for life,” says researcher Paola Cerrito.Learn more: https://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/news/2022/november/anthropologists-find-new-ways-female-bones-are-permanently-alter.html

The Shape of Melting Ice New York University 2022-01-31 | A team of mathematicians and physicists has discovered how ice formations are shaped by external forces, such as water temperature. “The shapes and patterning of ice are sensitive indicators of the environmental conditions at which it melted, allowing us to ‘read’ the shape to infer factors such as the ambient water temperature,” explains Leif Ristroph, an associate professor at New York University’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and one of the authors of the study.At very cold temperatures—those under about 5 degrees C—the pieces take on the shape of a spike or “pinnacle” pointing downward—similar to an icicle, but perfectly smooth (with no ripples). For temperatures above approximately 7 degrees C, the same basic shape forms, but upside down—a spike pointing upward. For in between temperatures, the ice has wavy and rippled patterns melted into its surface. Similar patterns, called “scallops,” are found on icebergs and other ice surfaces in nature.(This video shows ice melting into water at a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius shows that the sides develop wavy patterns called scallops.

Buying Groceries Online? Food Label Info Might Be Missing New York University 2022-01-27 | Nutrition facts, ingredient lists, and even allergens—all FDA-required information on food labels—are often nowhere to be found when shoppers buy food online.A new analysis by researchers from the NYU School of Global Public Health and the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University finds that online food retailers do not consistently display nutrition information on their websites—and U.S. laws are lagging behind in mandating the same labeling required for foods sold in brick-and-mortar stores.“Information required to be provided to consumers in conventional grocery stores is not being uniformly provided online—in fact, it only appears on roughly a third of the online grocery items we surveyed,” said Jennifer Pomeranz, an assistant professor of public health policy and management at the NYU School of Global Public Health and lead author of the study, which was published in Public Health Nutrition.

Identity Myths Busted New York University 2021-12-13 | With examples of partisanship and tribalism seemingly all around us, it's easy to imagine that the tendency to segregate ourselves into rival groups is an unavoidable part of human nature. But Associate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience professor Jay Van Bavel, director of NYU's Social Identity and Morality lab, and the author of a new book, "The Power of Us: Harnessing Our Shared Identities to Improve Performance, Increase Cooperation, and Promote Social Harmony," says it's not that simple. His research shows that group identity—the same thing that can turn us against each other—can also help us embrace what we have in common and work more effectively on teams.
