The authors created a board game to teach young children about healthy eating habits to see whether an interactive and family-oriented method would be effective at introducing and maintaining a love for fruits and veggies. Results showed that children developed a liking for fruits and vegetables, and none regressed. Half maintained their level of enjoyment for fruits and vegetables during the research period, while the other half had a positive increase. The results show that a simple interactive game can shape how young children relate to food and encourage them to maintain healthy habits.

Have you ever wondered what contributes to the popping ability of popcorn? In this study, the authors use Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) mapping to identify genes that may contribute to specific popping characteristics including kernel size and popping expansion volume (PEV).

Content warning: This article discusses the frequency and impact of mass violence incidents, particularly school shootings. Gun violence, threats of gun violence, firearm supply, fatalities among minors, and bullying are discussed but not graphically described.

The authors studied bacterial contamination of the New York City transit system, as well as the effectiveness of hand washing and hand sanitizer.

The authors survey high school students regarding preferences for taking notes by hand versus typing.

In this study, the authors investigate the crystallization kinetics of vanillin thin films from a solution or a melt, as well as how a silane coating on the glass surface affects these properties.

Investigating the green valley hypotheses of galaxy evolution

Here the authors sought to find a more ethical and efficient way to temporary paralyze a cockroach by comparing the results of two methods. By comparing immobilization through immersion in cold water and exposure to a 100 % CO₂ environment, they found that cockroaches could be immobilized and recovered significantly faster when exposed to CO₂.

The authors investigate the relationship between remote work and salary by sector.

Observing transients like supernovae, which have short-lived brightness variations, helps astronomers understand cosmic phenomena. This study analyzed transient 2023jri, hypothesizing it was a Type IIb supernova. By collecting and analyzing data over four weeks, including light and color curves, they confirmed its classification and provided additional insights into this less-studied supernova type.
