New psychology findings suggest that attractive students earn higher grades in school, but for female students, this beauty premium disappears when classes are taught remotely. The findings were published in the journal Economic Letters.
A large body of research suggests that physical appearance has an impact on a personâs success. For example, attractive people tend to earn more money and report higher life satisfaction than less attractive people. Interestingly, scholars have yet to agree on the explanation behind this beauty premium.
One account suggests that the beauty advantage can be explained by discrimination. For example, employers may inherently favor attractive over unattractive workers. Another perspective suggests that beauty is a productivity-enhancing attribute. This view suggests that attractiveness lends itself to higher productivity, for example, through increased self-confidence.
The James Webb Space Telescope has revolutionized the way we look at the universe in less. than a year. Since its launch on December 25, 2021 multiple images captured by the largest. telescope with potentially the highest infrared resolution and sensitivity have been going viral. around the globe. James Webb is no doubt the most advanced telescope in human history. The. telescopeâs integrated science instrument module or ISIM framework provides it with electrical. power, computing framework, cooling capability and structural stability. The ISIM also holds the. four science instruments and the guide camera of the telescope. The infrared imager NIRICam. serves as the Observatoryâs wavefront sensor while the NIRISpec performs spectroscopy over. the same wavelength range as that of NIRICam. The Mid-Infrared Instrument measures the mid. to long infrared wavelengths and the Fine Guidance Center and Near Infrared Imager and. Slitless Spectrograph is used to stabilize the line of sight during the science observations. So far. the images and data received from the JWST are well worth the ten billion spent on building this. miraculous invention. The first ever in ages from the telescope were revealed to the world on. July 12, 2022 and experts believe these pictures from the largest and most powerful telescope. in the world demonstrate Webb at its absolute best, fully prepared to further unravel the infrared universe. These included images of cosmic cliffs in the carina nebula, exoplanet WASP-06b. southern ring nebula, Stephenâs quintet and the brilliant deep field view of the universe. But. these were just the first batch, since then the James Webb Telescope has provided scientists. with even more dazzling and awe-inspiring images of the cosmos. Some of these images have. left astronomers and cosmologists quite confused. A flood of astronomical papers has been. published since the revelation of these images and data from the JWST, a few of these papers. have incited panic among the cosmologists. But what exactly is the reason behind this wave of. panic? Well, itâs the assumption that the findings of James Webb Space Telescope are blatantly. and repeatedly contradicting the Big Bang Theory. In order to better understand whatâs going. on, we first need to understand what the Big Bang exactly is.

Dr Brian Kennedy explains why verifying longevity interventions work is key and why the transition to human trials is so important.
Brian Kennedy is one of the busiest people in the longevity business, with fingers in many of the most interesting antiaging pies. He was at the Longevity Investors Conference recently, discussing some of the latest discoveries in longevity research and giving a longevity industry overview.
The Longevity Investors Conference (LIC) is the worldâs leading and most private longevity-focused investors-only conference. Providing relevant insights into the fast-growing field of longevity, the conference also offers expert education and investment opportunities, as well as fostering excellent networking opportunities. It was our privilege to attend and talk to so many key opinion leaders.
New foundation aims for scientific and rhetorical value â and to run the debug cycle for longevity research.
The Longevity Investors Conference is quickly turning into one of the highlights in the longevity calendar, and we were delighted to be able to interview some of the speakers in a few âbackstageâ moments.
Held in the exclusive location of Gstaad in Switzerland, The Longevity Investors Conference (LIC) is the worldâs leading and most private longevity-focused investors-only conference. Providing relevant insights into the fast-growing field of longevity, the conference also offers expert education and investment opportunities, as well as fostering excellent networking opportunities. Dr Aubrey de Grey was in Gstaad to address the conference on rejuvenation biotechnology as well as being part of a panel discussing where crypto meets longevity.
Many people are scared of artificial intelligence or AI, and it is not hard to see why! The. advances made in that field of technology are mind-boggling, to say the least! One such scary. outcome of AI is Googleâs AI, which, before it was switched off, ominously revealed one thing. billions of people have spent a lifetime trying to discover; the purpose of life! What did Googleâs. AI say the purpose of life is? Can AI truly become smarter than us? What does AI becoming. more intelligent than humans mean? In this video, we dive deep into Googleâs Artificial. Intelligence and what it revealed was the purpose of life before being switched off!
AI tools are making their way into classrooms: even in schools today, students create texts, presentations, images and translations at the click of a button. How can teachers deal with AIâs new possibilities?
For many teachers, homework, papers and tests raise the question of autonomy. How should they grade exams if itâs not clear who did the work â the examinee or an AI? A common reflex to digital developments in education is to regulate these possibilities, to put digital devices into exam mode without network access, or to ban AI tools.
The Evangelisch Stiftische Gymnasium in GĂŒtersloh, Germany, is taking the opposite approach: laptops and iPads have been widely used there for 20 years. GPT-3 and Co. are being tested in German lessons and are even required for class tests.
âWe are very pleased that we can now start with the first activities to stimulate and consolidate cellular agriculture in the Netherlands,â said Ira van Eelen, CEO of KindEart. Tech and a board member of Cellular Agriculture Netherlands. âWith this we can guarantee that the Netherlands remains the ideal place for cellular agriculture to thrive. We have a rich history in cellular agriculture and are a global leader in biotechnology, alternative proteins and food innovation. Supported by this visionary leadership that the Dutch government is showing again today, we will expand our team in the coming months and roll out the first activities around public research, scaling up, and education.â
Indeed, the Netherlands has been demonstrating considerable progress in developing cultured meat. In July, for example, Dutch company Meatable revealed its first lab-grown sausages, which are expected to go on sale to consumers by 2025. The addition of âŹ60 million in government funding will make the Netherlands an even more attractive location for companies in the sector.
Currently a niche and miniscule part of the overall food market, cultured meat has potential to become another âexponentialâ technology â much like the semiconductor industry, solar energy, genome sequencing, and so on. The benefits in terms of animal welfare, climate change, food safety, antibiotic resistance, land and water usage could be substantial.
The collapse of Areciboâs radio telescope was a devastating blow to the radio astronomy community. Issues began in 2017 for the nearly 55-year-old telescope when Hurricane Maria tore through Puerto Rico, shearing off one of the 29-meter (96-foot) antennas that was suspended above the telescopeâs 305-meter (1,000-foot) dish, with falling debris puncturing the dish in several places.
Since then, many have called for the telescope to be rebuilt or for building an even better replacement telescope at the site. Instead, the NSF wants Arecibo to serve as a hub for STEM education and outreach.
HOUSTON, Oct. 18, 2022 â The nonprofit Space Center Houston is advancing a Facilities Master Plan to support the growing need for space exploration learning and training in two massive structures that will also give the public a front row seat into the development of robotics, rovers, lunar landers and reduced gravity systems. Today, the center offered a glimpse of the facility that will include two enclosed simulated cosmic terrains of the Moon and Mars, as well as modular surface labs and STEM learning centers. An elevated exhibit hall over the two surfaces will offer the public immersive experiences to observe astronaut training first-hand while experiencing the future of space exploration as humans return to the Moon and eventually on to Mars.
Space Center Houston is responding to the opportunities and challenges in a rapidly evolving space sector, including the need for facilities built for current and future missions, while sharing this excitement with the public and addressing critical gaps in the development of the STEM workforce through its education programs. The facility will bring together guests, NASA, commercial space partners, colleges, universities and global space agencies to collaborate on new technologies that are propelling present and future human spaceflight.
For 30 years, Space Center Houston has chronicled the journey of human spaceflight while empowering and inspiring people to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. âSpace is expanding once again and a new space age is upon us,â said William T. Harris, President and CEO Space Center Houston. âWith new ambitions, new players and new challenges, we will shift our focus from being a curator of past achievements to also facilitating new feats in space.â
