Welcome to Socializing Scientists, where scientists come to socialize and discuss recent events in science and technology.  Socializing Scientists was established to give people a place to discuss topics without the research or corporate demands that often comes with scientific professions.  Feel free to have conversations, meet people and expand on ideas without the stress.

Join the forums catch up on the latest news, or chat with your colleagues and other scientifically oriented people. Check out the latest science news in a variety of subjects, check out a podcast, or watch related You-Tube videos.

We will offer talk and presentations as speakers are available.  Make sure to let us know what topics interest you.

Please join us in out Discord server to scheduled and impromptu chats.
  • AI in cell research: Mapping technology reveals cell dynamics in unprecedented detail
    22 January 2025
    Thanks to a new technology called Moscot ("Multi-Omics Single-Cell Optimal Transport"), researchers can now observe millions of cells simultaneously as they develop into a new organ—for example, a pancreas. This method was developed by an international research team led by Helmholtz Munich and has been published in the journal Nature.
  • Early humans' hunting habits reshaped scavenger communities, study suggests
    22 January 2025
    A new study indicates that human behavior around 45,000 to 29,000 years ago contributed to a change in the composition of scavenging animal species living nearby. While smaller scavenging animals such as foxes and some bird species benefited from the presence of humans, large scavengers such as hyenas and cave lions tended to be displaced.
  • New materials could advance OLED display development
    22 January 2025
    An international research collaboration has developed promising new materials that could improve the manufacturing of electronic displays.
  • Thawing permafrost helped trigger ancient Icelandic landslides, new research shows
    22 January 2025
    When glaciers and ice sheets melt, they can destabilize slopes and reactivate faults, which in turn can trigger landslides and reshape the surface of Earth over long periods of time. Researchers can monitor some locations in real time to determine which combinations of factors lead to landslides, but understanding what triggered landslides thousands of years ago is more difficult.
