We have color wheels for vision and sound waves for hearing. What about smell?

New Yale-led research is using machine learning to predict how people perceive combinations of scents, an important step toward creating a digital map of our sense of smell. Someday, that could even help scientists detect changes in our health through scent.

Hair-pulling and skin-picking can be much more than habits. What role might genetics play?

A new Yale study involving more than 100 families found that people with these conditions were more likely to inherit genetic risk associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder, even when they didn’t have OCD themselves.

The findings offer new clues about the biology behind these often misunderstood conditions: bit.ly/4dnr9Iz

What does it take to turn climate knowledge into action? 🌏

That question was at the heart of Yale @ Climate Week NYC, hosted by Yale Planetary Solutions, where scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and other leaders came together to share ideas and practical approaches to some of the challenges facing people and the planet.

Conversations explored how cities can become healthier and more resilient, how research can better inform policy, how institutions can accelerate decarbonization, and how new tools and partnerships can help put climate solutions into practice.

Swipe through a few snapshots from Yale @ Climate Week NYC.

What makes a statesman different from any other political leader?

In his new book, Yale political scientist Steven Smith explores an idea that has shaped political thought for centuries but, he argues, has faded from public life.

In a conversation with Yale News, Smith discusses what statesmanship looks like, why it matters, and whether it can be revived: bit.ly/4gOoyZ6

The challenges facing our planet are enormous. So is our capacity to solve them. 🌏

As Yale @ Climate Week NYC gets underway, meet some of the scholars and practitioners working through Yale Planetary Solutions to turn knowledge into action, from the way we study our environment, to the way we build and operate campuses and cities, to the way we collaborate with communities around the world.

Her writing changed how Americans thought about the environment.

Rachel Carson, the scientist and author whose landmark 1962 book "Silent Spring" helped spark the modern environmental movement, is the focus of an exhibition at Yale’s Beinecke Library.

"Silent Springs, Windswept Seas," on view through Oct. 4, offers a closer look at Carson’s life, the natural world that inspired her, and the legacy of her work.

Check out five things to know about the exhibition: bit.ly/3TFmKdv

A new collaboration is taking on one of physics’ toughest problems.

Yale researchers are joining scientists across the country through the TEMPEST center to better understand and control turbulence, a phenomenon that shapes everything from weather and pollution to industrial processes and the evolution of stars.

Big ideas are only the beginning. 🌏

Next week, Yale @ Climate Week NYC will bring together scholars, students, and partners from around the world to explore how new approaches to climate challenges can make a difference for people and the planet.

“The measure of Climate Week should not be how many conversations we have, but what those conversations make possible,” said Julie Zimmerman, vice provost for Yale Planetary Solutions.

Ancient tortoise DNA is helping scientists rewrite evolutionary history.

Using a new computational approach, Yale researchers recovered genetic clues from highly degraded museum specimens and identified two extinct giant tortoise lineages that once lived on the Galapagos Islands.

These findings could also help scientists better understand and protect the giant tortoises that remain today: bit.ly/4zSSTyD
