US & Canada · New YorkNew study says dinosaurs survived because they were already adapted to freezing conditions at high latitudes. The study, based on recent excavations in the remote desert of northwest China’s Junggar Basin, was just published in the journal Science Advances. Dinosaurs are thought to have first appeared during the Triassic Period in temperate southerly latitudes about 231 million years ago.See the Story

BushfiresResearchers and conservationists have estimated the total cost of restoring Australia's native environment after the Black Summer bushfires. An annual investment of $16 billion could restore 65 per cent of fire-impacted species habitat. Part of this restoration effort would involve restoring over 6 million hectares of habitat, at a price of $8.8 billion per year.See the Story

AIArtificial intelligence large language models are notoriously biased, but can be fine-tuned to become more inclusive. Engineering and journalism researchers from the University of Southern California in the United States have teamed up to quantify and fix anti-queer bias in AI language models. Katy Felkner, a PhD student in computer science specialising in natural language processing says the problem of bias in language models is well documented.See the Story
