The fly that landed on Vice President Mike Pence’s head during Wednesday’s debate received more mentions on Twitter than did any of the presidential or vice-presidential candidates, shows a new analysis of online activity leading up to, during, and immediately after Wednesday’s vice-presidential debate.
Gender, age, education level, and political affiliation predict where people turn for information about COVID-19—and what sources they use and trust is linked to differing beliefs about the pandemic, according to a new study by NYU School of Global Public Health researchers.
Oral cancer is more likely to spread in patients experiencing high levels of pain, according to a team of researchers at NYU College of Dentistry that found genetic and cellular clues as to why metastatic oral cancers are so painful.
A team of neuroscientists has identified processes the brain undergoes to distinguish real and present dangers from those linked to past experiences in mice. The findings have implications for our understanding of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
New York University neuroscientist Christine Constantinople will examine the intricacies of our decision-making processes under a five-year, $1.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health.
President Trump was the focus of a higher number of tweets while former Vice President Joseph Biden was the subject of a greater number of Google searches, shows a new analysis of online activity leading up to, during, and immediately after last week’s presidential debate.
Women are more likely than are men to follow guidelines outlined by medical experts to prevent the spread of COVID-19, new research finds.
A team of researchers has identified a set of cultural stereotypes that are introduced into artificial intelligence models for language early in their development—a finding that adds to our understanding of the factors that influence results yielded by search engines and other AI-driven tools.
Claudia Rankine, an award-winning poet and past recipient of a MacArthur “Genius Grant,” will join the faculty at New York University as a Professor of Creative Writing.
The Gallatin Galleries will present The Tuba Thieves, a video installation by artist Alison O’Daniel, on 24-hour display from Oct. 14 through Nov. 20 (1 Washington Place [at Broadway]). Inspired by a series of thefts from Los Angeles area high school marching bands in 2012, The Tuba Thieves is an ongoing project that includes an in-progress feature-length film, as well as performances and mixed-media installations.
Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow, Anne Applebaum’s “A Warning From Europe: The Worst Is Yet to Come” in the Atlantic, John Oliver’s HBO program “Last Week Tonight,” and Lourdes Garcia-Navarro’s coverage of the Arab Spring protests for NPR are among the more than 120 nominees for the “Top 10 Works of Journalism of the Decade in the United States.”
The NIH has awarded NYU College of Dentistry researchers Nigel Bunnett, PhD, and Brian Schmidt, DDS, MD, PhD, a $3.9 million grant to study targeting endosomal receptors for the treatment of chronic pain. The five-year grant will support Bunnett and Schmidt’s collaborative research, which aims to ultimately yield improved pain management without the need for opioids.
Botox injections to manage jaw and facial pain do not result in clinically significant changes in jaw bone when used short term and in low doses, according to researchers at NYU College of Dentistry. However, they found evidence of bone loss when higher doses were used.
NYU faculty members have outlined paths of academic inquiry that are likely to be undertaken as a result of COVID-19.
A team of scientists has shed new light on how stone forests and other natural structures are created. Its research also offers promise for the manufacturing of sharp-tipped structures, such as the micro-needles and probes needed for scientific research and medical procedures.
Plant protein foods—like lentils, beans, and nuts—can provide vital nutrients using a small fraction of the land required to produce meat and dairy. By shifting to these foods, much of the remaining land could support ecosystems that absorb CO2, according to a new study.
Adolescents who perceive their parents to be loving and supportive are less likely to engage in cyberbullying, according to a new study by researchers at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing.
People have traded in nightclubs and dance festivals for virtual raves and Zoom happy hours as a result of lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic—yet, many are using drugs in these socially distanced settings, according to a new study by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and the Center for Drug Use and HIV/HCV Research at NYU School of Global Public Health.
A team of scientists , using experimental research, has concluded that our cognitive limitations lead to probability distortions and to subsequent errors in decision-making.
Housing programs adopted during the New Deal increased segregation in American cities and towns, creating racial disparities that continue to characterize life in the 21st century, finds a new study.
