Food Science: a picture can save tonnes of food from being wasted

Dr Sholeem Griffin is a researcher in the Department of Food Sciences & Nutrition at Centre for Biomedical Cybernetics in University of Malta. Her postdoctoral study focus on development of a hyperspectral imaging system to detect low-level contamination of food products and how her research could be applied to prevent food wastage.
Thousands of Tardigrades Stranded on the Moon After Lunar Lander Crash

Thousands of Tardigrades Stranded on the Moon After Lunar Lander Crash

Israeli spacecraft Beresheet crashed into the moon during a failed landing attempt. It may have strewn the lunar surface with thousands of dehydrated tardigrades. Though it didn't transport astronauts, it also carried human DNA samples, 30 million very small digitized pages of information about human society & culture.
Recovering 7,903 metagenome-assembled genomes substantially expands the tree of life

Recovering 7,903 metagenome-assembled genomes substantially expands the tree of life

Challenges in cultivating microorganisms have limited the phylogenetic diversity of currently available microbial genomes. This is being addressed by advances in sequencing throughput and computational techniques that allow for the cultivation-independent recovery of genomes from metagenomes.
