For generations, agronomic knowledge has been produced on research stations like AU Flakkebjerg, where fields are designed to answer specific scientific questions. This is where agriculture became measurable, comparable and reproducible. But a quiet shift is underway. Today, experiments are escaping the confines of the research station, turning ordinary farm fields into laboratories and farmers into active contributors to agricultural research.

To the scientists and ecologists working to save them, Australia's Euastacus crayfish species are fascinating, living relics from a time long ago.

At Kurd Qaburstan, an ancient site in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, archaeologists have uncovered the first substantial group of cuneiform administrative tablets found in the Erbil region, along with evidence of large-scale destruction, mass graves and citywide fortifications.

Modern fluorescence microscopy can generate images of living cells as stunning to look at as they are informative to study. For techniques like fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), those images provide a window into cell metabolism, helping scientists study cancer treatment, autoimmune disease and more.

A new study led by Concordia researchers suggests that carefully habituating wild gorillas to nonthreatening humans can help the animals overcome long-term aversions to people in areas with a history of human-led disturbances such as poaching.
