This weed is made up of old marine plants such as seaweeds and seagrasses, and it gets washed up onto beaches all over the world. Although it can be ugly and smell like rotten eggs, it is very important for the health of our beaches. Lots of tiny animals make their homes in beach wrack, while others feed on it or use it as a hunting ground for their favorite snacks. This feeding frenzy produces nutrients through animal poop and bones, which get delivered back into the water and help to keep our oceans healthy. Coastal development and beach cleaning upset these natural processes and can impact the ecosystems that make our beaches so great.","PeriodicalId":73060,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers for young minds","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141659521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

You might have seen a squirrel, a fox, or a deer munching on your garden or running down your street. Living near people gives some animals food and places to live, but it can also cause problems for both animals and people. Sometimes people do not agree about what to do about the animals that live near them. We were curious about how people and wild animals live together and decided to investigate. We studied how people make decisions about deer in the suburbs of Massachusetts, where some people think there are too many deer and others are not so sure. We discovered that people often disagree, and politics matters. Paying attention to this disagreement can help people work together and make choices that let wild animals and people to live together with fewer problems.","PeriodicalId":73060,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers for young minds","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141662917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How does your body know what you have eaten? And why do you feel full after a meal? The digestive tract breaks down the foods we eat, absorbs their nutrients, and sends them to different parts of the body to keep us healthy and full of energy. The body knows how to handle each type of food so that only “leftovers” are turned into poo. A food’s structure determines how fast foods are broken down. The body monitors this and sends messages to the brain to tell us if we feel full or hungry. You might think you are in control, but a food’s structure manipulates how you eat and digest your food. In this article, we explain what is known so far about the effects of a food’s structure.","PeriodicalId":73060,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers for young minds","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141666780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The deep ocean is very important to people for many reasons. For example, it provides foods that we eat, it balances Earth’s climate, and it is a wild unknown space for people to enjoy and explore. Despite its importance, the deep sea is the least explored area on our planet because it is so big, deep, dark, cold, and salty.

Many doctors and scientists are trying to work out how these diseases arise and how they can be treated. Unfortunately, the brain is an extremely complicated organ, so this goal is very challenging. One way of simplifying this challenge is to look at simpler brains. For example, a human brain has about 100,000 times more brain cells than a fruit fly brain, but it works in a similar way. Although a fruit fly may seem very different from a human, we still have a lot in common. For example, we both have brains that control how we move our bodies. Scientists are using fruit fly brains to study a wide range of brain diseases that affect human patients. Fly brains can be used to understand how a disease happens, and they can even be used to test drugs to discover new medicines. This article gives an overview of how scientists are using flies to help understand and treat brain disorders.","PeriodicalId":73060,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers for young minds","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141675393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Health authorities and doctors must hurry to decide which protection measures, like closing borders or developing vaccines, will work to fight each kind of harmful microbe depending on how dangerous and widespread it is. Fortunately, a new scientific technique called whole genome sequencing can quickly spot and track pathogens—microbes that cause infectious diseases. Whole genome sequencing works well for both disease-causing viruses and bacteria. This technique can help scientists discover new epidemics and reveal how diseases are spreading, aiding health authorities in their quest to stop epidemics much faster. As diseases around the world are being tracked using this method, we stand a better chance of limiting future epidemics like COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":73060,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers for young minds","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141681067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simple answer: the lake’s sediments store valuable information about how past climate change shaped the environment where our earliest ancestors lived. Those sediments serve as a natural record of Earth’s ancient climate. While much is known about human evolution from fossil discoveries in eastern Africa, the role that climate change might have played for human biological and cultural evolution remained unclear for a long time. But now we have drilled 278 m into the ground at the bottom of the old Chew Bahir Lake in southern Ethiopia, which has given us some detailed answers.

We found that children who felt awe became more helpful and caring. They counted more food items for a food drive for refugees and were also more likely to give away their chocolate treats or museum tickets to refugees.
