Big questions about the universe could soon be explored on a tabletop.

Yale physicist David Moore is developing a new way to study neutrinos, elusive particles that could help scientists better understand how the universe works.

With a five-year, $1.35 million award from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, his team will use tiny particles suspended and cooled to extremely low temperatures to explore a new approach to measuring neutrinos with greater precision.

John Constable saw landscapes a little differently.

More than two centuries ago, the British artist took his easel outdoors to paint directly from nature, studying everything from changing clouds and weather to the countryside around him. His approach would help reshape landscape painting for generations.

A new exhibition at the Yale Center for British Art takes a closer look at his work and how he made it.

Good public health communication starts with understanding the people you're trying to reach.

At Yale School of Public Health, a new course is helping students learn how to make science more accessible, connect with different audiences, and build trust.

From podcasts to social media, students are putting those lessons into practice, finding new ways to share health information that speaks to people's lives and concerns.

Did animal life begin 200 million years earlier than we thought?

A new study coauthored by Yale paleontologist Derek Briggs suggests that the first animals may have appeared on Earth between 700 and 800 million years ago, long before the oldest recognizable animal fossils.

By combining clues from ancient fossils with genetic evidence from living species, researchers are piecing together a new timeline for the origins of animal life and raising new questions about how early animals evolved.

A career in nursing can start in more than one way.

Two new Yale School of Nursing programs will give people with bachelor’s degrees in other fields accelerated paths into nursing, without requiring them to earn another undergraduate degree.

One program prepares students to become registered nurses in 16 months, while another offers a three-year path to advanced practice and a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree.

140 years is a lot to celebrate.

Students, alumni, staff, university leaders, and New Haven community partners gathered on Old Campus to mark Dwight Hall's 140th anniversary and celebrate the many people who have been part of its story.

“Dwight Hall encapsulates that the pursuit of knowledge can include public service," said President Maurie McInnis. "It demonstrates yet again that our work can reach far beyond the walls of a classroom or a library."

Since 1886, generations of students and community members have brought their own ideas about service to Dwight Hall. Today, Yale's center for public service and social justice connects thousands of students each year with opportunities to volunteer, learn, and get involved through student-led groups, fellowships, and partnerships in New Haven and beyond.

More students are receiving extra time and other accommodations on standardized tests. What does a level playing field actually look like?

As college entrance exam season begins, Yale child psychologist Jackie Britt-Friedman explores why testing accommodations are becoming more common and why questions about access, fairness, and what students need to succeed can be so complicated.

Talking about memory loss can be difficult. Stigma can make it even harder.

Yale’s Miia Kivipelto has seen patients wait to seek medical care or hesitate to tell loved ones about an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. That can have real consequences, especially when early diagnosis can open the door to treatment and support.

In a Q&A, she explains why changing the way we talk about Alzheimer’s could help people seek care sooner and live better with the disease: bit.ly/3VJFFo5
