Gravitational waves are reshaping how we understand the universe — and Yale’s Chiara Mingarelli is helping us hear them. In this Q&A, the astrophysicist explains how mapping these subtle ripples in space-time could unlock new cosmic insights: bit.ly/4lmr4XT #Yale
Here's how parasites — and a bit of luck — led to a powerful drug discovery tool. In a Q&A, Yale pathologist Choukri Ben Mamoun explains his lab’s unlikely path to developing a new test that could enhance drug discovery for infectious diseases — and treatments for conditions…
Caligula’s reputation is infamous — but history is rarely that simple. In a new study, Yale scholars combine analysis of archaeological evidence with close reading of ancient texts to describe medical tourism in the Roman world — and the surprising pharmacological know-how of…
What does it take to lead in tech innovation? We’re not just advancing new technologies at @YaleEngineering — our students, researchers, and faculty are building what’s next in AI, biotech, and quantum systems. We're launching startups, mentoring the next generation, and…
Storytelling. Mentorship. Imagination. For three decades, the Dwight/Edgewood Project has connected Yale drama students with young storytellers from New Haven — and the inspiration flows both ways. Each spring, fifth and sixth graders from Barnard Environmental Science &…
"If the funding is cut, nobody’s going to be able to benefit — not me, not my kids, not my grandchildren." At Yale, Bill and Fran Barrett found more than a clinical trial. They found hope in the face of a rare neurodegenerative disease. Their journey reflects the ripple effect…
A cure for cystic fibrosis — before birth? A team at Yale is exploring how gene editing in the womb could lead to the first-ever cure for cystic fibrosis and other genetic diseases: bit.ly/3IlXH9l #Yale
Protect what matters — and who makes it possible. For more than 20 years, Kim Zichichi has been an essential member of Yale labs that help fight cancer, childhood illness, and more. Her work — and the work of research staff across the country — fuels discoveries that ripple far…
Will self-driving cars lower ride-hailing prices? One anticipated advantage of the shift to autonomous vehicles is lower costs for services like Uber and Lyft. But a new Yale study finds that consumers will only enjoy this benefit under certain market conditions — and that…
How often do we *really* pay attention to what’s on screen? A new Yale study finds that during baseball games, most viewers aren’t actively watching — a finding that challenges what we think we know about audience engagement: bit.ly/46xfmov #Yale
Lasers over the Sound: A project led by Hong Tang at @YaleEngineering will beam entangled photons 44 kilometers from Kline Tower to Stony Brook University, aiming to expand how quantum information can be sent and received — and possibly setting a course for future quantum…
Art, emotion — and quantum error correction: Serena Scapagnini, the Yale Quantum Institute’s artist-in-residence, and physicist Harshvardhan Babla discuss their recent artistic collaboration — the results of which were featured during New Haven’s International Festival of Arts &…
How do our minds shift focus in dynamic settings? In a new study, Yale psychologists explored how the mind concentrates on a single task in complex, dynamic scenarios — and apportions its computational capacity accordingly: bit.ly/44rEn1M #Yale
With a slate of new language courses, poetry workshops, and a forthcoming film festival, Yale’s Olha Tytarenko is working to “establish a Ukrainian studies program that... enriches our understanding” of the country and its culture at a critical moment in history:…
When ideas meet the real world. 🌎 Yale economist Mushfiq Mobarak explains how implementing new policies — like congestion pricing in New York City or a scheme to reduce overfishing in Chile — can be complicated by politics, unintended consequences, and the complexities of…
"Hot Jupiters" are a rare class of massive planets with surface temperatures reaching upwards of 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. In a new study, Yale astronomers show how the evolution of binary star systems — with two planets and two stars — can produce something rarer still:…
In theater, “break a leg” is a phrase used to wish a performer luck. But for ballet dancers, it isn’t simply an expression but an occupational reality. The intense physical demands of ballet put dancers at high risk for foot and ankle injuries, from blisters and bunions to stress…
PCR tests are the gold standard for detecting respiratory infections like COVID-19 but expensive to deliver at scale. Yale researchers now find that screening for an antiviral protein in the nasal passage works nearly as well — and at a fraction of the cost:…
Q&A: Yale sociologist Rene Almeling discusses a new book of essays she co-edited, which calls for a deeper understanding of issues surrounding men’s health and reproductive rights: bit.ly/43TcXD5 #Yale
