Females prefer to mate with unusual males. At least, that’s the case among guppies, small fish from South American rivers. Since their fertilization is internal, the males display a wide array of colors to attract females.

So, why would a female guppy choose the most unusual male in the group?The answer was found on the island of Trinidad, in the southern Caribbean, a veritable natural laboratory where guppy populations, separated by waterfalls and rivers, allow researchers to study evolution…

The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has put content creators on high alert. For these models to function, they must ingest vast databases that include all kinds of documents and pieces of content. Algorithms that establish patterns are then applied to this material. This is known as the “training phase.” Editors, translators, illustrators, and voice actors — among others — consider it unfair that companies such as OpenAI (the developer of ChatGPT and DALL-E), Anthropic (Claude) and Microsoft (Copilot) are profiting from their creations, without ever having paid royalties.In the United States, several class-action lawsuits have been filed (and…

“You have to hack your body. I think that people from my generation will live to be 100.” This was a comment made by 50-year-old businessman José Elías, on a Spanish-language podcast titled The Formula for Success.

Scott Lowe thought that he wanted to be a chemical engineer… but he was wrong. He was fascinated by the amino acid structures that his college roommate was studying. This led him to biochemistry, genetics, and research. He then worked at places like Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island and at MIT in Massachusetts. And, for the past few years, he has led a large team at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, one of the world’s most prestigious cancer centers. There, he studies processes related to cancer and aging, heading up the Cancer Biology…

An uninhabited island and a peninsula with beaches of exceptional beauty. A paradisiacal, largely undeveloped tract of land. Cooperation from local authorities and billionaire investors. On paper, the strategy devised by Jared Kushner — Ivanka Trump’s husband — to develop two exclusive luxury destinations on the coast of Albania looked like a masterstroke. Thousands of Albanians, however, had other plans.The flamingo revolution, as the protests that have confronted the son-in-law of the U.S. president and his partners over the past two weeks have come to be known, has cast doubt on the future of the luxury tourism developments tied to…
