Here are the Top 10 science anniversaries of 2022

Insulin to treat diabetes, the slide rule and the birthdays of Gregor Mendel and Louis Pasteur make the list

In 1622, priest and part-time mathematician William Oughtred invented the slide rule.

How we got from Gregor Mendel’s pea plants to modern genetics

Philosopher Yafeng Shan explains how today's understanding of inheritance emerged from a muddle of ideas

In 1900, Gregor Mendel’s experiments on pea plants were introduced into the study of heredity.

The study of human heredity got its start in insane asylums

‘Genetics in the Madhouse’ chronicles the early days of the science

INHERIT THE DATA  King George III’s descent into madness sparked efforts to untangle the inheritance of mental illness by analyzing patient records at insane asylums (London’s Bethlem Hospital is shown in this 1735 illustration). A new book discusses how big data and statistics long dominated the study of human heredity.

Earth may have 9,200 more tree species than previously thought

More than a third are probably hiding out in South America, researchers say

Earth may be home to around 73,000 different kinds of trees, new research suggests. Many undetected tree species are probably hiding out in the Amazon (shown) and other biodiversity hot spots in South America, researchers say.

The heart of the Milky Way looks like contemporary art in this new radio image

Wispy filaments accent the brightest spot, supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*

The MeerKAT telescope array in South Africa provided this image of radio emissions from the center of the Milky Way. Stronger radio signals are shown in red and orange false color. Fainter zones are colored in gray scale, with darker shades indicating stronger emissions. I. HEYWOOD/SARAO

Crianças que desenvolveram a síndrome inflamatória multissistêmica pediátrica (SIM-P) em razão da Covid-19 continuam com alterações nos vasos sanguíneos que nutrem o músculo do coração seis meses após a alta hospitalar. Mas não apresentam sintomas, como cansaço, o que pode deixar o quadro passar despercebido pela família e pelos médicos./.../

Guideline self-care interventions: health and well-being

Overview 
Self-care interventions are among the most promising and exciting new approaches to improve health and well-being, both from a health systems perspective and for people who use these interventions.
The World Health Organization (WHO) uses the following working definition of self-care: Self-care is the ability of individuals, families and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and cope with illness and disability with or without the support of a health worker. The scope of self-care as described in this definition includes health promotion; disease prevention and control; self-medication; providing care to dependent persons; seeking hospital/specialist/primary care if necessary; and rehabilitation, including palliative care. It includes a range of self-care modes and approaches. While this is a broad definition that includes many activities, it is important for health policy to recognize the importance of self-care, especially where it intersects with health systems and health professionals. Worldwide, an estimated shortage of 18 million health workers is anticipated by 2030, a record 130 million people are currently in need of humanitarian assistance, and disease outbreaks are a constant global threat. At least 400 million people worldwide lack access to the most essential health services, and every year 100 million people are plunged into poverty because they have to pay for health care out of their own pockets. There is an urgent need to find innovative strategies that go beyond the conventional health sector response./.../

Quantum Complexity Tamed by Machine Learning

By CHARLIE WOOD

If scientists understood exactly how electrons act in molecules, they could predict the behavior of everything from experimental drugs to high-temperature superconductors. Following decades of physics-based insights, artificial intelligence systems are taking the next leap.

New Map of Meaning in the Brain Changes Ideas About Memory

By JORDANA CEPELEWICZ

Researchers have mapped hundreds of semantic categories to the tiny bits of the cortex that represent them in our thoughts and perceptions. What they discovered might change our view of memory.

Earth's Inner Secrets
Earth’s solid inner core might be far more exotic than geophysicists had thought. For Science News, Emily Conover reports on new evidence that the innermost core is “superionic.” The superionic phase of matter has previously been studied in water. Planetary scientists suspect that superionic ice might compose the bulk of large, icy worlds like Uranus and Neptune, Joshua Sokol reported for Quanta in 2019.



100 Years of Quantum Spin
A century ago Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach performed an experiment that proved the existence of quantum spin, as Davide Castelvecchi describes for Scientific American on the centennial of the Stern-Gerlach experiment. Even after 100 years, we’re still trying to understand the implications of Stern-Gerlach and other quantum experiments. Sean Carroll wrote for Quanta in 2019 about various interpretations of quantum mechanics, including the Many Worlds hypothesis.
