Netflix released its adaptation of the Hugo Award-winning sci-fi book The 3 Body Problem by Cixin Liu. It follows the journey of several scientists, from the Chinese Cultural Revolution to the present day, as they seek to understand why their fellow researchers are dying and why their scientific results no longer make sense. Along the way, they discover an ultra-advanced VR game and a dark secret that suggests we might not be alone in the universe. Guest host Arielle Duhaime-Ross

To gain a better understanding of the climate across the Pacific, University of Hawaii at Mnoa atmospheric scientist Giuseppe Torri will conduct research that leverages both scientific and traditional knowledge. This approach will mainly utilize extensive high-resolution data collected on the islands, state-of-the-art numerical models and novel machine learning algorithms. The CAREER award provides funding to faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education.

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will be visible from the contiguous United States for the first time since 2017, and the next one won’t be visible until 2044. As it moves along its path from southwest Mexico to northeast Canada, the eclipse will cross 15 U.S. states, from Texas to Maine, passing over more cities and densely populated areas than the 2017 eclipse.

The domestication of plants and animals is among the most significant transitions in human history. Our new article focuses on how we conceptualize domestication. A considerable intellectual legacy has depicted domestication as a series of short-lived, localized and episodic events. We envision both the physical and cultural adaptation played roles in the fixation of some domestication traits.

Climate models predicting 1.3 degrees Celsius warming by the end of the century imply a more relaxed timeline for humanity to reverse climate change. The 2015 Paris Agreement aims to keep future global warming to below 1.5 degrees Celsius to avoid irreversible damage. However, the prediction of 3 degrees of warming by other models suggests much more urgent action is needed.
