What Can a Cell Remember? | Quanta Magazine A small but enthusiastic group of neuroscientists is exhuming overlooked experiments and performing new ones to explore whether cells record past experiences — fundamentally challenging what memory…

Forgotten studies from the early 20th century are helping scientists probe how and whether individual cells can learn and remember.

IIT Kharagpur wants students to run to mommy. ‘Campus Mothers’ is regression not innovation By soliciting the active participation of women as ‘Campus Mothers’, the initiative is likely to exclude men from this important initiative.
