New techniques to quantify what lived in and on preserved animals throw light on how parasite abundance has changed over time.

Recording the pH within decaying organs for the first time, researchers come closer to understanding why some soft tissues are more likely to be preserved as fossils than others.

The University of Chicago cell biologist is studying how the nutrients available to cancers influence their growth. 

Public bathing, ubiquitous around the world and through the ages, plays an often-unappreciated role in public health.
