teachers-protestTeachers hold large-scale rally in central Seoul SEOUL, July 29 (Yonhap) -- Tens of thousands of teachers staged a large-scale protest in downtown Seoul on Saturday, calling for the normalization of the public education, after a colleague took her own life at an elementary school last week.

The protest came after a teacher, known only as a 23-year-old woman in charge of first graders at an elementary school in southern Seoul, apparently took her own life on the premises last week.

A pioneering study has shed new light on North African humid periods that have occurred over the past 800,000 years and explains why the Sahara Desert was periodically green. The research, published in Nature Communications, showed periodic wet phases in the Sahara were driven by changes in Earth's orbit around the Sun and were suppressed during the ice ages. For the first time, climate scientists simulated the historic intervals of 'greening' of the Sahara, offering evidence for how the timing and intensity of these humid events were also influenced remotely by the effects of large, distant, high-latitude ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere.

There's a rhythm to developing life. Growing from a tiny cell cluster into an adult organism takes precise timing and control. The right genes must turn on at the right time, for the right duration, and in the correct order. Losing the rhythm can lead to diseases like cancer. So, what keeps every gene on beat? Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Professor Christopher Hammell has found that in the worm C. elegans, this genetic orchestra has no single conductor. Instead, a quartet of molecules works in concert to time each developmental stage.
