The fashion industry produces more greenhouse gas emissions than airlines and maritime shipping combined.

In a Q&A, Yale researcher Meital Peleg Mizrachi explains why labor protections keep losing ground to environmental measures, and what more effective regulation could look like: bit.ly/4xnXtmc

While testing MOTHRA, a powerful new Yale-led telescope built to detect some of the faintest structures in the universe, researchers captured an extraordinary view of the Helix Nebula.

The observations revealed dozens of shock waves as material from a dying star breaks apart and mixes back into the galaxy, offering a rare look at how the universe recycles the building blocks of future stars and planets.

In 1984, William Gibson published a novel that invented the word "cyberspace" and imagined a virtual world four decades before we lived in one. Yale political scientist Gregory Huber thinks more people should read it.

It's one of his Three to Read picks this summer. Learn more: bit.ly/4grlyCZ 📚

For decades, sewage sludge used as fertilizer spread PFAS, or "forever chemicals," onto American farmland. Cleaning it up under current methods would cost an estimated $8 trillion.

A Yale-led team has developed a far cheaper approach that also removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as a side benefit. The lead researcher happens to be the son and brother of farmers.

See how the process works — and how much it costs: bit.ly/4hA87Sz

The next generation of New Haven teachers is getting ready for the classroom.

The Yale Teaching Fellowship recently welcomed its second cohort of 18 fellows. This fall, they’ll begin graduate study and hands-on training to prepare them to teach special education, math, and science in the city’s classrooms.

The FDA has approved its first new sunscreen ingredient in more than 25 years, and it's already been used safely in Europe and Asia for decades.

Yale dermatologist Kathleen Suozzi explains what makes bemotrizinol different. Broader UV coverage, less greasiness, more transparency, and no need to reapply as often. And the best sunscreen, she says, is still the one you'll actually wear.

For literary scholar Shawkat Toorawa, "beach reads" are the long books he's been saving for summer.

This year he's revisiting a poetry anthology he calls his "desert island book," diving into an award-winning work of fiction from Oman, and picking up a debut novel set just before the end of apartheid.

Look up the next time you walk across campus. You might spot an owl clutching a textbook, a court jester blindfolding the figure of justice, or a bulldog presiding as judge from a rooftop.

Yale's gargoyles and grotesques have been keeping watch for generations, and most people walk right past them every day.

Scientists have long known that GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic work in the brain, but not exactly how. Previous weight-loss drugs suppressed appetite nearly as effectively, yet none produced the same sustained results.

A new Yale study may explain why. Rather than suppressing hunger neurons as long assumed, these drugs actually activate them, triggering metabolic adaptations that help sustain fat loss and potentially opening new paths toward even more effective treatments.
