Sharing space: Proximity breeds collaboration Posted: 25 Oct 2012 02:46 PM PDT A new study shows that when researchers share a building, and especially a floor, the likelihood of forming new collaborations and obtaining funding increases dramatically.

Exercise boosts satisfaction with life, researchers find Posted: 25 Oct 2012 01:17 PM PDT Had a bad day?

Gene that's usually bad news loses its punch if you live to your 90s Posted: 25 Oct 2012 07:57 AM PDT A gene linked to the risk of developing Alzheimer's, heart disease and diabetes becomes less important to quality of life once people hit their 90s, a new study shows.
