University of Bath — The Conversation institution feed · 16 Mar 2026 Research & science Plastic bottles transformed into Parkinson's drug using bacteria A drug to treat Parkinson's disease can be made from waste plastic bottles using a pioneering method, a study shows. The approach harnesses the power of bacteria to transform post-consumer plastic into L-DOPA, a frontline medication for the neurological disorder. It is the first time a natural, biological process has been engineered to turn plastic waste into a therapeutic for a neurological di… Phys.org — 'e-waste' search feed · 16 Mar 2026 Research & science Geneticist Anne Brunet explores the science of aging - Stanford Report Stanford Report · 16 Mar 2026 Research & science Staff Spotlight: Gustavo Raskosky - Rice University Rice University News · 15 Mar 2026 Research & science Scared of spiders? Scientists say the real nightmare is losing them Spiders and insects may not be fan favorites, but they are vital to the health of ecosystems—and scientists barely know how they’re doing. Researchers found that nearly 90% of North America’s insect and arachnid species have no conservation status, leaving their fate largely unknown. Even more striking, most states don’t protect a single arachnid species. The study warns that these overlooked c… ScienceDaily — Sustainability · 15 Mar 2026 Research & science Why the Chagos Islands deal is delayed – and Mauritius is threatening to sue the UK The UK government’s efforts to decolonise the Chagos Islands remain mired in legal controversy.

Instead, researchers found that Nitrosopumilus maritimus can adapt to warmer, iron-limited conditions by using iron more efficiently. Because these microbes control key nitrogen reactions that support marine life, their adaptability could help sustain ocean productivity. In a warming… ScienceDaily — Recycling and Waste · 11 Mar 2026 Research & science Public policy challenges in the domains of energy, environmental and economic sustainability: insights from Czechia Volume 17, Issue 1, December 2026 .

Brunel University of London — The Conversation institution feed · 5 Mar 2026 Research & science Climate models may be missing massive carbon emissions from boreal wildfires Northern wildfires may be more dangerous for the climate than they appear. Researchers found that fires in boreal forests can burn deep into peat soils, releasing ancient carbon stored for hundreds or thousands of years. These slow, smoldering fires often look small from space, causing climate models to underestimate their emissions.
