Yuste, the director of the Neuro Technology Center and co-director of the Kavli Institute of Brain Science, has pioneered the development and application of optical methods to understand how neural circuits in the cerebral cortex work.

Tamar Mitts, whose research uses big data, machine learning, and text analysis to study conflict, radicalization and violent extremism, is a faculty member at Columbia’s Data Science Institute.

The Global Famine was one of the worst humanitarian disasters in history, killing as many people as World War II. A new analysis suggests it could happen again, only worse because of climate change.

A special report published this week finds that things will get a lot worse if we let the planet reach 2 degrees of warming. To limit climate change to 1.5ºC of warming, the world needs to reach zero net emissions by 2050. This will be challenging, but not impossible.

By determining the molecular signatures of Alzheimer’s, CTE, and other conditions, the research team will pave the way for treatments that target hallmarks of neurodegenerative disease.

Ten New York City science and math teachers spent the summer learning how to master the most advanced techniques in wireless technology with help from researchers at Columbia University, Columbia’s Data Science Institute, and NYU.

A new study found that more sustainable activities—including Brazil nut harvesting and fish farming—can outpace the financial gains of gold mining and serve as a solution to long-term forest conservation in the Amazon.
