This paper asserts that the Nobel Prize for Medicine/Physiology that Hermann J. Muller received in 1946 was a front to enhance the legitimacy, acceptance, and application of eugenics, a strategy to guide the direction and rate of human evolutionary change. Seven of the nine people nominating (1932-1946) Muller were proponents of eugenics with Muller being among the most visible of the scientific leaders.

Background: Falls pose a significant risk to older adults, often leading to severe injury and disability. One potential contributing factor to falls is footwear, particularly shoes with destabilizing features. This systematic review assessed the effects of destabilizing shoes on stability control and fall prevention in older adults, highlighting their effectiveness in balance control and fall prevention, and the detailing the specific review methodology.

Theoretical accounts posit that mindfulness promotes proenvironmental behavior. While this claim is supported by correlational findings, past intervention studies provided no evidence that enhancing mindfulness increases self-report measures of proenvironmental behavior. Here, we tested whether a 31-day mindfulness intervention strengthens preferences for proenvironmental outcomes with decision tasks involving real conflict between participants' selfish interests and beneficial consequences for the environment.

Nile Red is a fluorescent dye used extensively in bioimaging due to its strong solvatochromism. The photophysics underpinning Nile Red's fluorescence has been disputed for decades, with some studies claiming that the dye fluoresces from two excited states and/or that the main emissive state is twisted and intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) in character as opposed to planar ICT (PICT). To resolve these long-standing questions, a combined experimental and theoretical study was used to unravel the mechanism of Nile Red's fluorescence.
