Hundreds of fourth—through twelve-grade students gathered Tuesday morning at the Mechanics Bank Convention Center to showcase their STEM science projects. With over 400 projects, each project, students spent months working through their school and district rank for a chance to compete at the state level. The public is invited to see the projects up close and talk to students from 1 to 3 p.m. Tuesday.

In most cases, these parasomnias are normal and harmless, except when physical danger or pain is involved. In one study, only 11 percent had reported EHS to a professional, and only eight percent of patients with recurring episodes sought prevention. In the worst-case scenario, EHS with pain could be a sign of the more dangerous and deadly brain hemorrhage.

In a paper published March 12 in npj Ocean Sustainability, the researchers outlined guidelines to support marine managers and planners on how to develop climate-smart ocean plans and put them into action. The guidelines come at a critical time as UNESCO and the European Commission jointly launched a global marine spatial planning roadmap. All are deeply interrelated and believed to function best as a coherent whole.

Lisa Ireland, president and CEO of Longevity Science Foundation, joins Pharmacy Times to talk about longevity and the Livelong Summit, March 14 and 15 in West Palm Beach, Florida. I am excited to be, I would call it the “nonscientist conversational” in this space, because I am not the scientist but the one that's working in this field, really focused on bringing all of this amazing work and longevity out of the lab and into life. Lisa Ireland: I think it goes back

Scientists discover 100 potential new deep-sea species, including one starlike creature. The expedition team focused its investigation on the 500-mile (800-kilometer) long Bounty Trough off the coast of New Zealand, east of South Island. They collected almost 1,800 samples from depths as far down as 3 miles (4,800 meters), finding species of fish, squid, mollusk and coral.
