Three ways to master the art of constructive disagreement Penn In the News Psychology Today Three ways to master the art of constructive disagreement A study by Bella Ren and Rebecca Schaumberg of the Wharton School reveals that many people misinterpret disagreements as indications of poor listening. Understanding inequities in nurses’ moral distress during COVID-19 (Image: iStock/Dragos Condrea) Understanding inequities in nurses’ moral distress during COVID-19 New research from Penn Nursing shows how poorer resources and communication in hospitals where Black patients predominantly access care impacts feelings of moral distress among nurses. Researchers upend theory about the formation of the Milky Way Galaxy This image visualizes the Milky Way and its surrounding “halo” of stars. Most stars in the Milky Way lie in the disc (like the Sun, for example), but stars from past collisions end up in the halo, a large “cloud” of stars that extends outwards in all directions. These halo stars have been enhanced in this image, but in reality would be very dim compared to the disc. The halo appears messy and “wrinkly” here, a sign that a merger has occurred relatively recently.(Image: Halo stars: ESA/Gaia/DPAC, T Donlon et al. 2024; Background Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds: Stefan Payne-Wardenaar) Researchers upend theory about the formation of the Milky Way Galaxy New findings by Robyn Sanderson and collaborators suggest galaxy’s last major collision was billions of years later than previously thought. Fruitful insights on the brain China Byrns used high-magnification confocal microscopy to visualize senescent glia (red) in Drosophila brains as part of a multidisciplinary approach to define the origin and effects of senescent cells in brain aging.(Image: Courtesy of Riya Anand) Fruitful insights on the brain Research led by China Byrns of the lab of Nancy M. Bonini in the School of Arts & Sciences have uncovered new details about the role of zombie-like cells in brain aging, using the fruit fly as a model. AI used to predict potential new antibiotics in groundbreaking study Penn In the News The Guardian AI used to predict potential new antibiotics in groundbreaking study A study by César de la Fuente of the School of Engineering and Applied Science and Perelman School of Medicine used machine learning to predict potential new antibiotics in the global microbiome. New insights on cellular clones and inflammation in bones Hajishengallis, an expert in the immune mechanisms behind the gum disease periodontitis, worked with an international team to show that the innate immune system--typically thought to lack immune memory--can in fact be trained to "remember" past threats. New insights on cellular clones and inflammation in bones Research led by George Hajishengallis of Penn Dental sheds light on an aging-related condition that drives inflammation in older populations.
