  • The LIGO Lab Is Pushing the Boundaries of Gravitational-Wave Research

    The LIGO Lab Is Pushing the Boundaries of Gravitational-Wave Research
    Jul 16 2025
    Come with Science Quickly on a field trip to the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Host Rachel Feltman is joined by Matthew Evans, MIT’s MathWorks professor of physics, to talk about the last 10 years of gravitational-wave research. Gravitational waves were discovered in 2015 by the LIGO team. Since then, innovations from the LIGO Lab have changed our understanding of the universe and made major shifts across physics. Now they’re preparing for the next generation of gravitational-wave detectors.

  • This Surgery Can Lead to Weight Loss—But Stigma Is Harder to Shake Off

    This Surgery Can Lead to Weight Loss—But Stigma Is Harder to Shake Off
    Jul 14 2025
    Each year more than half a million people undergo bariatric surgery, a procedure geared toward weight loss. But research shows that stigma around weight can continue to affect people’s lives even during recovery from the procedure. Larissa McGarrity is a clinical associate professor at the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine at the University of Utah and lead psychologist at the school’s comprehensive Weight Management Program. She and her colleagues assessed 148 people who received bariatric surgery before their procedure and one and a half and three years after to learn more about their physical, mental and emotional health over the recovery period.

  • Why Do We Sing? Musicologists and Neuroscientists Seek an Answer

    Why Do We Sing? Musicologists and Neuroscientists Seek an Answer
    Jul 11 2025
    Last year Science Quickly looked across disciplines to piece apart the science of singing. To understand why humans sing, musicologists collaborated on an international study of folk music. To understand how we sing, neuroscientists differentiated how our brain processes speech and singing. Music enthusiast and associate mind and brain editor Allison Parshall takes us through some hallmark 2024 studies that, taken together, piece together the evolutionary origins of singing.
