Extreme heatwaves disrupt life in soil. Soil bacteria that produce and resist antibiotics switch into survival mode, temporarily reducing the number of resistance genes. At the same time, heat and drought are causing significant damage to soils and ecosystems, especially in cold, wet regions such as the Netherlands. This is evident from a large-scale European study by soil ecologist Franciska de Vries (University of Amsterdam) and colleagues.

On 1 September, Anniek de Ruijter became the new Rector Magnificus of the UvA. Has her perspective on the UvA changed as she’s gone from student to PhD candidate to professor to administrator here? Is she optimistic or pessimistic about the world we currently live in? And can she recommend us a good book?

In 2026, so far, 3 ,134 cases have been reported across 47 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). About 8% of those people required hospitalization. In 2025, the CDC reported 2,289 cases of measles, compared to only 58 in 2023. Some c

by Taylor McNeil September 10, 2026 Biomedical Science , Cancer , School of Arts and Sciences , Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Share When cancer strikes, it doesn’t appear in isolation—the surrounding materials in our bodies have been tricked into supporting the tumor’s out-of-control growth. An important part of that mix is the microenvironment around the tumors, made up largely of the extracellular matrix, with its variety of molecules and proteins like collagen and elastin. How that ext

Facing major surgery is stressful, but for older adults, unaddressed anxiety and depression can impede physical recovery. A clinical trial led by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has found that starting an intervention before surgery — one that combines mental health coaching with optimization of medications that may increase risks for older adults — reduces pos

Thirteen percent of U.S. children aged 3–17 have a diagnosed mental or behavioral health condition, and American youth suicide rates far exceed those of peer countries. But the popular story — a sudden, smartphone-driven collapse — doesn't fit five decades of data. This series examines where the crisis comes from, which interventions demonstrably help, and what we still need to learn.

Scientists recently discovered various Denisovan remains in Southwest China dating back to the late Middle Pleistocene, including the first Denisovan radius—one of two long bones in the forearm. Denisovans are a genetically identified archaic hominin group believed to have been widely distributed across Asia. However, due to the limited number of fossil remains, especially postcranial bones—those
