Scientists are increasingly concerned that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is weakening as the planet is getting hotter because of greenhouse-gas pollution building up in the atmosphere. Nature reports on researchers’ work to find answers. 🌊 🧪

I had so much fun researching and writing this piece.

How well plants use their photosynthesized carbon? Using global eddy covariance observations and ecological theory, our study reveals the pattern of vegetation carbon use efficiency (CUE) worldwide! @fluxnet.bsky.social @natureportfolio.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🔬In this month's Editorial, we announce a cross-journal pilot at @natureportfolio.nature.com journals aiming to implement standardized light and fluorescence #microscopy reporting to improve methodological description and aid in #reproducibility efforts. 👉https://rdcu.be/esnOK bit.ly/3TAzZIK

Look at this team of editors 100% #WomeninSTEM, I am so proud of this 😍. With @mgood695.bsky.social and @anyabphd.bsky.social . To learn more about it: www.go.nature.com/4ncu8Hm @natureportfolio.nature.com

A Review in Nature Reviews Genetics discusses how genomic advances have enhanced our understanding of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder, which could address limitations in diagnostic frameworks and future treatment strategies. go.nature.com/44bKTuy 🧬 🧪

As the Trump administration steps up attacks on US universities and scientific institutions, the EU is campaigning hard to attract scientists from the US. A Nature Careers feature explores the question of how many US scientists the EU can take. #Academicsky 🧪

A study in Nature Communications quantifies how rising temperatures linked to climate change would increase the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and reports projected losses of healthy life years and workplace productivity due to OSA. go.nature.com/3HMqsMg #medsky 🧪

Nature reports on how scientists are working to decipher the precise mechanisms that connect the brain to processes associated with ageing. #medsky 🧪

A paper in Nature Nanotechnology presents a method using arrays of silicon nanoneedles to generate molecular replicas of living tissue, enabling mapping for glioma characterization and classification. The method allows for the monitoring of the response of the tumours to chemotherapy. #medsky 🧪

A Nature Outlook feature reports on the use of blood tests to help with Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis. The tests allow physicians to provide timely interventions that can help slow disease progression and preserve quality of life. #Alzsky #medsky 🧪

A study in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science estimates the projected intensification of sub-hourly and hourly extreme rainfall across the Alpine region and calls for a reevaluation of regional infrastructure resilience standards. 🧪

A study in Nature Ecology & Evolution combines fossil occurrence data, phylogenies and climatic niche modelling to explore the palaeobiogeography of early pterosaurs and their non-flying close relatives, the lagerpetids. go.nature.com/44mbnJY #Paleosky 🧪
