New Long-Necked Dinosaur Discovered
Stony Brook University

Long-necked herbivorous dinosaurs, known as sauropodomorphs, a group of mainly bipedal dinosaurs that lived some 210 million years ago in the Late Triassic, provide a common image of the age of dinosaurs in the minds of people. Now a completely new sauropodomorph species has been identified in Zimbabwe. The discovery is only the fourth dinosaur species discovered in Zimbabwe.

Investors generally underestimated the risk and impact of hurricanes, prior to feeling “Superstorm” Sandy’s fury on Wall Street
Indiana University

In a paper forthcoming in the Journal of Finance, professors at the Indiana University Kelley School of Business, studied firm-level exposures to hurricanes over a 24-year period to better understand how extreme weather events impact performance in financial markets as measured by option and stock prices. They found that investors historically underreacted to the volatility arising from hurricanes and didn’t efficiently update their expectations about it, based on information available in real time.

Newswise: Rensselaer Researcher Sheds New Light on Circadian Rhythms

Rensselaer Researcher Sheds New Light on Circadian Rhythms
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)

Circadian clocks, which drive circadian rhythms, are entwined with many essential systems in living things including plants, fungi, insects, and even humans. Because of this, disruptions to our circadian clocks are linked to higher disease rates in humans, including certain cancers and autoimmune diseases. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Jennifer Hurley, Ph.D., Richard Baruch M.D. Career Development Chair and Associate Department Head of Biological Sciences, has dedicated her career to understanding the mechanisms that allow our circadian clocks to keep time.
