After more than a decade of observation and recording, Dr. Julie Elie identified 11 distinct call types used by zebra finches, decoding both their meanings and the individual vocal signatures birds use to recognize each other. Machine learning helped organize the data; crucially, birds confused calls with similar meanings more than similar-sounding ones — showing they respond to content, not just sound.

THE GUARDIAN

Matapos mahigit sampung taon ng pag-aaral, natukoy ni Dr. Julie Elie ng UC Berkeley ang 11 uri ng tawag ng zebra finch at ang kanilang mga kahulugan. Nalaman niya na mas nalilito ang mga ibon sa mga tawag na may katulad na kahulugan kaysa sa mga katulad na tunog — ibig sabihin, tumutugon sila sa nilalaman. Tumulong ang machine learning sa pagsusuri ng libu-libong rekording.

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder measured the brainwaves of tango dancers using EEG caps and found that when partners moved in step within 200 milliseconds of each other, their brain activity mirrored each other — a phenomenon called interbrain coupling, never before documented in dance.

More children's hospitals across the US are adding full-time facility dogs — specially trained working dogs embedded in care teams. Research shows they lower pain, blood pressure, and cortisol levels in young patients. One nonprofit, Canine Assistants in Georgia, has placed over 80 dogs nationally, and the annual Facility Dog Summit nearly doubled in attendance from 2024 to 2025.

The Blue-Fronted Lorikeet — a small, lime-green parrot found only on the Indonesian island of Buru — has been rediscovered after more than a decade. A 14-day expedition in April reached the unexplored highlands of Mount Kapalatmada and spotted at least nine individuals, capturing the first known sound recordings of the species' calls.

Philadelphia City Council voted to ban horse-drawn carriages — both commercial and noncommercial — effective June 26, with fines of $1,000 per day for violations. Chicago banned the practice in 2020, San Antonio in 2024. New York City's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has also voiced support for removing carriages from Central Park.
