Are neurons star players, or do they prioritise teamwork? A new study has uncovered an answer for this long-standing debate about the brain.
Although heatwaves can affect everyone, older adults are particularly at risk. But our new research has found older Queenslanders don’t necessarily believe heat poses a risk to their health.
We wanted to find out how much carbon and nitrogen is being released from the northern permafrost. Here’s the region’s first full greenhouse gas budget covering CO₂, methane, and nitrous oxide.
Shared values between Māori and Asian communities can reduce the cultural distance between New Zealand and the region. But the government needs to authentically embrace tikanga Māori to benefit.
New research shows how river flows in the once-mighty Murrumbidgee have dwindled over time, leaving the floodplain high and dry. But the main culprit is not climate change and we can fix it.
In a new review, we explored the impact of physical activity on type 2 diabetes among First Nations Australians. But there wasn’t much data to be found.
Indigenous land management in southeastern Australia halved forest shrub cover 6,000 years ago, reducing high-intensity bushfires
For the first time in New Zealand, violence against members fo the LGBTQ+ community has been quantified. The data reveal higher levels of crime and violence than against other New Zealanders.
Multi-patient rooms are the status quo for hospitals in New Zealand. But this breaches best practice for healthcare and infection control protocols, as well as the rights of vulnerable patients.
Australia now has more than enough evidence that proposals to build big dams consistently underestimate both the construction costs and the harm they do.
New Zealand’s health and safety law covers mental health. But new research shows how little it is understood by those in management positions – leaving workers vulnerable.
A technique known as “enhanced rock weathering” promises to remove billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere. But it’s crucial to be able to measure how much CO₂ is captured.
New genetic research shows dingoes are not breeding with domestic dogs in the wild. But that could change if lethal control measures continue to decimate populations in Victoria.
A study of 480,000 Wikipedia users shows how ‘busybodies’, ‘hunters’ and ‘dancers’ follow their curiosity in different ways.

In the early 2000s, we tested a new curriculum on more than 200 students. Here’s what we found when we met the students again, two decades later.
The world’s largest genetic study on the size of specific brain parts has revealed hundreds of clues about how some health conditions develop.
Executive function delays affect skills such as as paying attention, switching attention, controlling impulses and problem-solving. They’re common in a range of conditions but are treated as separate.
A new study has found a link between hormonal intrauterine devices (IUDs) and breast cancer. But media reports of a large increase in risk may cause unnecessary worry.
