- A phenomenon of quantum mechanics known as superposition can impact timekeeping in high-precision clocks. The research takes into account quantum effects beyond Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity to make a new prediction about the nature of time. https://www.dartmouth.edu/press-releases/timekeeping-theory-combines-quantum-clocks-and-einsteins-relativity.html 12 comments science

- A team investigated the impact of a texting intervention as an add-on to a mental health treatment program versus one without it. A new study finds that a text-messaging-based intervention can be a safe, clinically promising and feasible tool to augment care for people with serious mental illness. https://www.dartmouth.edu/press-releases/text-messaging-the-next-gen-of-therapy-in-mental-health.html 3 comments science
- I'm trying to explain how important Math is (to individuals and the world), and someone linked to this paper as an argument *against* using Mathmatics. But, this paper is basically a love-letter to how good math is, right? Can they be reading it that incorrectly? http://www.dartmouth.edu/~matc/mathdrama/reading/wigner.html 23 comments math

- New study explains secret to more efficient learning by finding that order counts when studying just about any subject. Adults, children learn better when seeing an object before hearing its description, especially in “inconsistent” environments with different teaching styles or distracting noises. https://www.dartmouth.edu/press-releases/new-study-explains-a-secret-to-more-efficient-learning.html 5 comments science

- Godzilla has evolved 30 times faster than other organisms on Earth “in response to a spike in humanity’s collective anxiety.” Scientists used U.S. military spending as a proxy for our collective anxiety and found a strong correlation between it and Godzilla’s body size on film between 1954 and 2019. https://www.dartmouth.edu/press-releases/godzilla_back_hes_bigger_than_ever_evolutionary_biology_monster.html 12 comments science
- With moral behavior, people may not always stick to the golden rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. While most people tend to exhibit some concern for others, others may demonstrate ‘moral opportunism,’ where they still want to look moral but want to maximize their own benefit. https://www.dartmouth.edu/press-releases/how_do_we_make_moral_decisions_041819.html 53 comments science
