Fears over future of the car industry as sales fall and spare parts become scarce

Image

In many countries, including the UK, outside of the few metropolitan areas with decent public transport, people depend on them. But car owners face an increasingly difficult choice. For many, electric vehicles are still too expensive and considered too risky in terms of driving range, battery costs and charging infrastructure. Private customers are ......

How genes shape birdsong, even when birds grow up far from home

With the arrival of spring, a timeless ritual begins anew: male birds fill the air with song, seeking to attract mates and defend their territories from other competing males. But there is a lot we still don’t understand about how birds learn which sounds to sing. Our latest study offers new insights and suggests genes may play a more important role than scientists realised. In nearly half of the world’s bird species, young birds learn by imitating the songs of adults.

Our latest research suggests that some ancient viral DNA sequences in the human genome play a role in susceptibility to psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder.

California is about to tax guns more like alcohol and tobacco − and that could put a dent in gun violence

Starting in July 2024, California will be the first state to charge an excise tax on guns and ammunition.

The National Rifle Association has characterized California’s Gun Violence Prevention and School Safety Act as an affront to the Constitution.

Why autistic people must be at the heart of autism research

When the term “social model of disability” was coined by British sociologist Mike Oliver in 1983, it helped form the basis of the disability rights movement. To mark the birth of that movement, as well as the 30th anniversary of the autistic rights movement, our new report reflects on why it is vital that autistic people are always at the centre of autism research.

Disablement was seen as something that belonged to individual disabled people, with heavily medicalised personal “impairments”. But Oliver ar...... Read Full article on HadNews
