Boyan Slat, el joven que lucha realmente contra el cambio climático
Se dio cuenta con 16 años de que el planeta estaba en peligro y, lejos de llamar a la rebelión como Greta Thunberg, ha lanzado un dispositivo que podría limpiar un tercio de todos los residuos plásticos que se encuentran en la superficie del mar

PISA remarca las diferencias internas: Madrid retrocede, el norte rinde más y Ceuta y Melilla siguen entre las peores
Las diferencias en los resultados en PISA entre las comunidades autónomas que más rinden y las que menos son equivalentes a un curso enteroAunque PISA se limita a correlacionar y no señala causalidades, las regiones que más invierten en Educación...
Oscillatory Control over Representational States in Working Memory
In the visual world, attention is guided by perceptual goals activated in visual working
memory (VWM). However, planning multiple-task sequences also requires VWM to store
representations for future goals. These future goals need to be prevented...
"El mercado laboral demanda habilidades que no hay en la oferta"
Según la presidente de Manpower Group Latinoamérica, en toda la región hay dificultades para encontrar los candidatos que requieren las organizaciones.
Enhancing Intelligence: From the Group to the Individual
Research aimed at testing whether short-term training programs can enhance intelligence is mainly concentrated on behavior. Expected positive effects are found sometimes, but the evidence is far from conclusive. It is assumed that training must...
By imaging the brain, scientists can predict a person's aptitude for training
People with specific brain attributes are more likely than others to benefit from targeted cognitive interventions designed to enhance fluid intelligence, scientists report in a new study. Fluid intelligence is a measure of one’s ability to adapt to...
Freeman Dyson y la casta del calentamiento global
El físico norteamericano de origen británico Freeman Dyson es una de las mentes más brillantes de la actualidad y miembro de, entre otras asociaciones científicas, la National Academy of Sciences d…
Genetic Underpinnings of Risky Behavior Relate to Altered Neuroanatomy
Previous research points to the heritability of risk-taking behavior. However, evidence on how genetic dispositions are translated into risky behavior is scarce. Here, we report a genetically-informed neuroimaging study of real-world risky behavior...
Heritability of education rises with intergenerational mobility
As an indicator of educational opportunity, social scientists have studied intergenerational mobility—the degree to which children’s attainment depends on that of their parents—and how it varies across place or time. We combine this research with...
What We Know, Are Still Getting Wrong, and Have Yet to Learn about the Relationships among the SAT, Intelligence and Achievement
Fifteen years ago, Frey and Detterman established that the SAT (and later, with Koenig, the ACT) was substantially correlated with measures of general cognitive ability and could be used as a proxy measure for intelligence (Frey and Detterman, 2004;...
How to raise a genius: lessons from a 45-year study of super-smart children
A long-running investigation of exceptional children reveals what it takes to produce the scientists who will lead the twenty-first century.
Informe PISA: España obtiene sus peores resultados en ciencias y se estanca en matemáticas
Los alumnos españoles de 15 años se sitúan por debajo de la media de la OCDE, aunque el estancamiento en los resultados se extiende a la mayoría de países avanzados

“En ciencias, un alumno gallego (con 519 puntos de media) está al mismo nivel que un estudiante de Canadá o Taiwán; mientras que un ceutí (con 415, 95 puntos menos) se mide con escolares de Costa Rica o Albania.”
Preguntarse por qué es crucial.

Empirical evidence of declining global vulnerability to climate-related hazards
Death tolls and economic losses from natural hazards continue to rise in many parts of the world. With the aim to reduce future impacts from natural d…
We are throwing money at the wrong solutions to climate change
Bjorn Lomborg is an academic and author of the book “The Skeptical Environmentalist.” In a visit to the Dallas Morning News editorial board, he urged...
Changing environments reveal innovative genetic variation in children's cortisol responses
Genetic associations with biopsychosocial phenotypes are often interpreted as evidence that the genome codes for fixed end-states. Instead, a given genotype might regulate a dynamic range of phenotypes in response to environmental change. We...
