Researchers challenged longhorn crazy ants and humans with the same task: maneuvering a T-shaped object through two consecutive open doorways. Single humans always outperformed single ants, but ant groups could beat human groups. In PNAS: ow.ly/5vat50UwZAo

A. flavipes. Spring soon and the Andrena will fly. As far as I know the 1500+ species in this group all nest in the ground and none of the females can sting you if you pick them up (or is that only American Andrena? ) Hmmm, that statement seems a bit imperial.

Why don’t medical schools include a comprehensive look at women’s health? AWIS member Aynsley Szczesniak investigates the alarming idea that male biology is the “norm” and women’s bodies, therefore, are atypical. Read more: ow.ly/g6Vu50U57Yq #HealthEquity
ALT Closing the Gender Health Gap in Medical School Education Inadequate knowledge of sex-specific symptoms contributes to inaccurate diagnoses which can threaten lives.
