‘The more I get to know the UvA, the more there is to discover’

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?

Denisovan Radius Discovered for First Time in Southwest China

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

Stronger home foundations needed to withstand climate change and cracking soils

Drier climates are exacerbating an expensive problem for millions of Australians whose homes sit on expansive soils prone to shrinkage cracks, which have already cost insurance companies and individuals billions of dollars in damage bills. A new study by Adelaide University, using computer modelling and field observations, shows that homes are more vulnerable to damage than previously thought, and climate change is expected to worsen the problem in coming years. With 20-30% of Australian surface

Heatwaves inhibit antibiotic resistance in soils, but at a price

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.
