A disconnect between how people judge speakers versus regions
How do you tell if someone has a particular accent? It might seem obvious: You hear someone pronounce words in a way that is different from “normal” and connect it to other people from a specific place. (more…)
Napoleon Hill’s ‘Think and Grow Rich’ is one of the most influential success books of all time. In the book, Hill repeatedly hints at a “secret” to wealth and success but never explicitly states it. Instead, he wants the reader to discover it for themselves. However, after analyzing his work, the secret can be summarized as follows: (more…)

Die Rückkehr von Zellen in einen stammzellähnlichen Zustand als Schlüssel zur Regeneration
Viele Lebewesen sind in der Lage, beschädigtes oder verlorenes Gewebe zu regenerieren, aber warum einige das besonders gut können und andere nicht, ist nicht restlos geklärt. Einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Klärung dieser Frage lieferten nun die Molekularbiolog*innen Alexander Stockinger, Leonie Adelmann und Florian Raible von den Max Perutz Labs an der Universität Wien in einer neuen Studie. Darin erklären sie den molekularen Mechanismus der Regeneration bei Meereswümern und schaffen damit besseres Verständnis für die natürliche Reprogrammierungsfähigkeit von Zellen. Die Studie ist aktuell im renommierten Fachmagazin Nature Communications erschienen. (more…)
