NYU’s Deutsches Haus will host “The State(s) We’re In: A New Age of Transatlantic Relations — Threats to Democracy”, a panel discussion featuring authors and scholars discussing threats to Western liberal democracy on Wed., April 18, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. (42 Washington Mews location [at University Place]).
NYU's Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute has named Jessica Camille Aguirre, a freelancer writer who has served as a foreign correspondent in Europe and Africa, the winner of its Matthew Power Literary Reporting Award.
Three New York University professors have been awarded 2018 Guggenheim Fellowships, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation announced this week.
NYU will host a screening of HBO’s “King in the Wilderness,” a documentary that explores the final years of the life of Martin Luther King Jr., preceded by a panel discussion on King's legacy, on Mon., April 9
Differences between signed and spoken languages are significant, yet the underlying neural processes we use to create complex expressions are quite similar for both, a team of researchers has found.
A team of computational biologists has developed an algorithm that can ‘align’ multiple sequencing datasets with single-cell resolution. The new method has implications for better understanding how different groups of cells change during disease progression, in response to drug treatment, or across evolution.
Adults with diabetes are less likely to visit the dentist than people with prediabetes or without diabetes, finds a new study led by researchers at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing and East Carolina University’s Brody School of Medicine.
The National Institute of Dental & Craniofacial Research has awarded a grant to researchers at New York University College of Dentistry to explore the biological mechanisms that contribute to poor oral health and related bone loss among people with diabetes.
We’ll pay more for unhealthy foods when we crave them, new neuroscience research finds. The study also shows that we’re willing to pay disproportionately more for higher portion sizes of craved food items.
One in 10 electronic dance music (EDM) party attendees have misused opioids in the past year, exceeding the national average, finds a study by the Center for Drug Use and HIV/HCV Research (CDUHR) at NYU Meyers College of Nursing.
NYU has received a $1 million, three-year grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to support its Prison Education Program, an initiative that brings a college education to incarcerated individuals at New York’s Wallkill Correctional Facility.
An algorithm can predict which passengers survived the sinking of the Titanic in April 1912 and can do so with 97 percent accuracy—a result that both demonstrates the power of artificial intelligence and, more subtly, points to its shortcomings. AI may get things right, this finding shows, but for all the wrong reasons.
New York University’s Taub Center for Israel Studies will host “Oslo: 25 Years Later,” a one-day conference that will include Israeli and Palestinian negotiators whose work resulted in the 1993 Oslo Accords, on Sun., March 25.
A team of biologists has deciphered how neurons used in the perception of motion form in the brain of a fly —a finding that illustrates how complex neuronal circuits are constructed from simple developmental rules.
Researchers have discovered a novel mechanism through which information can be effectively transmitted across many areas in the brain—a finding that offers a potentially new way of understanding how consciousness arises.
Historian Lawrence Baron will deliver “From Abie’s Irish Rose to Anna Riley’s Rabbi Jake: The Irish-Jewish Couple in Feature Films,” a lecture on how American feature films about Irish-Jewish romances have conveyed varying messages related to the “Melting Pot” ideal, on Thurs., March 29.
New York University’s Department of Environmental Studies will host “Ask Not What Your Country Can Do for You,” a panel on the role of business and local and state government in environmental action, on Wed., March 28.
A team of physicists has developed a method to generate and self-organize liquids into well-defined patterns, a breakthrough that offers potential new pathways for the development of more sophisticated pharmaceuticals and other consumer products.
What makes Mona Lisa’s smile elusive? What produces a dynamic illusion in Pointillist paintings? And why did Picasso think “colors are only symbols”? Margaret Stratford Livingstone will consider these questions in “What Art Can Tell Us about the Brain," a public lecture, on Tues., March 20.
