Read the story: https://www.science.org/content/article/scientists-probing-secrets-earths-inner-core-saved-life-planet About the size of Pluto, Earth’s inner core is made of solid iron and helps power the magnetic field that protects life from harmful space radiation. For more than a century, seismic waves have helped researchers identify and characterize the core’s properties. Science reporter Paul Voosen wrote about the most recent insights into the mysterious center of the planet.

Read the paper: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ade1702 Read the Perspective: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adg6020 The waggle dance performed by honey bees is a complex behavior that communicates directional information. In a recent paper, researchers demonstrated that younger bees learn critical parts of this dance from older, more experienced bees. Bees that learn without the benefit of teachers have errors in their dance, and while some of which can improve with practice, errors relating to distance encoding remain for their entire lives. Bees, like many other social animals, appear to benefit from social learning.

Play Video: A Shot to Stop the Tripledemic: Promising RSV Vaccines on the Horizon

Along with COVID-19 and the flu, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has spread at alarming rates in recent months. Promising vaccine candidates for this common infection are now winding down their large-scale clinical trials. These vaccine candidates rely on a key advance made by Barney Graham, Jason McLellan, and colleagues in 2013. That year, Graham and McLellan, who later used similar approaches to make key contributions to the COVID-19 vaccines, provided the proof of concept for a new way of developing vaccines based on leveraging insights from structural biology. Together with colleague Man Chen, they made discoveries that paved the way for RSV vaccines that have neared the finish line, a feat Science Magazine named as a runner-up for the 2022 Breakthrough of the Year. Come join Science Magazine on 1 March at 1 p.m. ET to hear Graham, McLellan, and Chen discuss how the approach they described in 2013 is leading to what could be the first ever FDA-approved vaccines against RSV, as well as other RSV therapeutics. Gregory Zuckerman, author of multiple best-selling books, including A Shot to Save the World: The Inside Story of the Life-or-Death Race for a COVID-19 Vaccine, will share his perspective on this milestone. This event is being co-organized with the University of Texas, Austin, as part of their second Texas Science Festival.
