Nigeria’s health system as medical research is not well funded.
Some of the climate changes will be irreversible for millennia. But some can be slowed and even stopped if countries quickly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, including from burning fossil fuels.
Researchers can refer to the “Handbook for Children’s Participation in Research in Indonesia” to design appropriate and ethical methods of child participatory research.
These international climate assessments are used by governments worldwide as they weigh future risks and climate policies.
This kind of research, with consistent data collection at the same locations over time, helps support global understanding of climate change.
Children’s meaningful participation is important because their needs and potential will be fulfilled when adults understand their position and listen to their voices and experiences.
History isn’t just learning facts. Students learn about the past by researching information and synthesising it to form an evidence-based argument. This skill is useful for a range of careers.
Historically, research has been imposed upon Indigenous people, instead of conducted with them. This is an exploration of more collaborative ways to research when working with Indigenous communities.
The results of Foote’s simple experiments were confirmed through hundreds of tests by scientists in the US and Europe. It happened more than a century ago.
New research found that smoke from the Camp Fire in Paradise, California, carried high concentrations of lead. An environmental toxicologist explains what else you’re breathing and how to stay safe.
It’s easy to assume that the practice has few, if any, downsides. But a new study explored some of its social repercussions.
