When we make decisions based on what we think someone else will do, in anything from chess to warfare, we must use reason to infer the other’s next move—or next three or more moves—to know what we must do.
Could extinction possibly become extinct?
Maximizing Research Opportunities
What if there were a way to predict when a species was about to become extinct—in time to do something about it?
We’re all ears
Maximizing Research Opportunities
The National Science Foundation has awarded $5 million to a team of researchers led by a University of Georgia plant scientist to further studies that can lead to improved varieties of corn as well as techniques that could treat human diseases, such as cancer.
Coping and adapting may be keys to long life
Maximizing Research Opportunities
University of Georgia research has provided new clues on surviving to be 100 years old, finding that how we feel about ourselves and our ability to adapt to an accumulation of challenging life experiences…
