The award will allow researchers to investigate how physical forces influence the way cells move, grow, divide and respond to their surroundings, particularly in the context of diseases like cancer.

In the fields of geophysics and seismology, understanding the mechanisms that trigger earthquakes is crucial for predicting and minimizing their impacts.

On a temporary scale, the rings are coming back, but in the (much) longer term they’re probably a beautiful but transient ...
