Students remember more when they write it down on paper. Not type it. Not screenshot it. Write it!

The act of writing slows students down, adds tactile feedback, and helps lock it into memory.

It’s hard to be mad following a hug. We touch each other all the time to strengthen and reaffirm our ties to each other—but humans aren’t the only apes with a repertoire of social touch.

It turns out, bonobos and chimpanzees also hug and hold hands to maintain bonds at times of tension, researchers report.

The remarkable diversity of mammalian carnivores may be built on a surprisingly limited set of dental solutions—teeth that are good at slicing meat cannot also excel at crushing hard foods, and vice versa.

According to a new Science study, this inherent tradeoff between cutting and crushing performance has repeatedly steered the evolution of carnassial teeth toward two recurring forms, helping explain how predators evolved to exploit different diets.

A new analysis in Science of more than 116,000 bird songs has revealed that the astonishing variety of passerine birdsong is built from just eight basic acoustic motifs, like trills, whistles, and harmonic notes.

The findings also reveal that local environments greatly shape how birds communicate around the world. Learn more: https://t.co/3oaQ0sKQfJ
