- Researchers show that introduced tardigrade proteins can slow metabolism in human cells, just like in tardigrades. Tardigrades can survive being completely dried out; being frozen to just above absolute zero; heated to more than 300 degrees Fahrenheit; and even survive the vacuum of outer space. https://www.uwyo.edu/news/2024/03/uw-researchers-show-that-introduced-tardigrade-proteins-can-slow-metabolism-in-human-cells.html 40 comments science

- Just as humans have their own individual personalities, new research shows elephants have personalities too. An elephant’s personality may play an important role in how well that elephant can solve novel problems. Traits including aggressiveness and activity were predictors of problem-solving. http://www.uwyo.edu/uw/news/2021/06/uw-researchers-elephants-solve-problems-with-personality.html 6 comments nottheonion

- Much of the southwestern United States was once a vast high-elevation plateau, similar to Tibet today. This finding has implications for the distribution of natural resources, such as copper, and provides insight into the formation of mountains during the subduction of tectonic plates. http://www.uwyo.edu/uw/news/2019/12/uw-study-shows-southern-arizona-once-looked-like-tibet.html 17 comments science
- People who make plans to avoid or handle temptations may be more likely to achieve goals, such as academic and weight loss goals. Proactively planning to manage temptations may be more effective than simply responding to temptation when it arises. http://www.uwyo.edu/uw/news/2019/11/uw-researchers-planning-to-avoid-temptations-helps-in-goal-pursuit.html 13 comments science
- A team of scientists at the University of Wyoming has provided the first empirical evidence that ungulates (hooved mammals) must learn where and when to migrate, and that they maintain their seasonal migrations by passing cultural knowledge across generations. http://www.uwyo.edu/uw/news/2018/09/study-reveals-big-game-animals-must-learn-to-migrate.html 14 comments science
- A new survey of temperature variability in North America and Europe during the Holocene Epoch suggests the string of record-setting temperatures over the last decade is truly an exception. During the last 11,000 years, it's never been this hot for this many years in a row. http://www.uwyo.edu/uw/news/2018/01/uw-led-climate-study-most-of-last-11,000-years-cooler-than-past-decade-in-north-america,-europe.html 45 comments science
