| Study shows increase in COVID-19 vaccine acceptance around the world Posted: 06 Jul 2022 01:53 PM PDT COVID-19 vaccine acceptance increased 3.7% between 2020 and 2021, according to a new study. In a June 2021 survey of over 23,000 individuals across 23 countries, the researchers found that more than three-quarters (75.2%) of respondents reported vaccine acceptance, up from 71.5% one year earlier. |
| Citizen scientists from 200 years ago and today help shed light on climate change trends Posted: 06 Jul 2022 12:31 PM PDT Citizen science observations across two centuries reveal a dramatic, climate-driven shift to earlier leaf out and flowering, which varies across settings, species and functional groups. Plants in urban areas, insect pollinated trees, and early-season species show the greatest rate of advancement overall. This unprecedented comparison of historic-modern network observations illustrates how long-term monitoring and citizen science efforts are invaluable for ecological forecasting and discovery. |
| Helping teens channel stress, grow in resilience Posted: 06 Jul 2022 12:30 PM PDT The mental health crisis among teens has prompted an urgent quest for preventive interventions. Researchers believe they have one. As the team explains in a recent study, the 30-minute online training module teaches teenagers to channel their stress responses away from something negative that needs to be feared and tamped down towards recognizing those responses -- sweaty palms, a racing heart, for example -- as a positive driving force. |
| Safety first: How stigma may impact health Posted: 06 Jul 2022 12:30 PM PDT Lack of safety, according to a new theory, may have a direct impact on the health of people in marginalized communities, particularly the LGBTQ community. The theory challenges decades of thinking that health disparities in the LGBTQ community are primarily due to encounters with stressful and discriminatory events, a concept called 'minority stress.' |
| Connecting the spots: First comprehensive review of national jaguar protection laws Posted: 06 Jul 2022 10:33 AM PDT Conservationists have conducted the first comprehensive review of national laws across the range of the jaguar (Panthera onca) to show opportunities for strengthening legal protections of the largest cat species found in the Americas. |
| Multi-layered strategies needed to protect public health from oil and gas drilling impacts Posted: 06 Jul 2022 10:33 AM PDT A group of public health experts from several universities and organizations is urging adoption of a multi-layered approach when developing policies to mitigate the impact of gas and oil production operations. They lay out a framework for decision-making, which they say would facilitate the application of more public health protective measures. |
| Climate warming could deepen environmental injustice in urban areas Posted: 06 Jul 2022 10:33 AM PDT Extreme heat events could become more intense and frequent both locally and globally, increasing the risk of harm to health and global economies, according to a new study. |
| Stronger integration of international negotiations needed to protect the ocean Posted: 06 Jul 2022 10:33 AM PDT International solutions are needed to protect the ocean. Two sets of regulations currently under development offer an opportunity to expand protections, but a greater degree of alignment between the two must be achieved. In a new scientific article, researchers outline how this could be realized. |
