Annual Reviews

Economist Hélène Rey has been working on trying to predict crises using machine-learning techniques. A reliable tool would be a boon for authorities seeking to regulate markets to prevent or mitigate economic catastrophes. Dr. Rey, a professor of economics at the London Business School, talked to Annual Reviews Editor-in-Chief Richard Gallagher.

Air pollution is one of the world’s top 10 health threats, and now scientists can enlist satellites, but also citizens and their devices to help fight it. Annual Reviews President and Editor-in-Chief Richard Gallagher chats with Michael Jerrett, from the Fielding School of Public Health at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is an expert in geographic information science, for exposure as...

Digging space for the age of stars can tell us about galaxy formation and the role of dark matter. New technical advances are opening up the field even more.

What if doctors could collect cancer cells from each patient, grow them in a lab, and test them against different drugs to see which worked best? Hans Clevers, of the Hubrecht Institute in the Netherlands and member of the Editorial Committee of the Annual Review of Cancer Biology, is working to make that happen.

Thirteen percent of people in the U.S. are unable to access or use the internet, and this is creating a new underclass, says Nicol Turner-Lee, of the Brookings Institution.

Communicating science effectively is a necessity. It is also a skill, which many scientists do not master. Dietram A. Scheufele, of the University of Wisconsin, says there are many pitfalls to avoid.

Creating products that can replace meat requires a staggering amount of knowledge of molecular biology, physics, chemistry, physiology, psychology, engineering, and social sciences. Julian McClements, Professor at the Department of Food Science at the University of Massachusetts and co-Editor of the Annual Review of Food Science and Technology, says that’s what it takes to create sustainability wh...

Ep. 2: Conny Aerts. Conny Aerts, of the University of Leuven, says quakes creates waves that lets them measure gases inside stars, their density, temperature, chemistry. Oftentimes these data tell a very different story from the information gathered by observing the surface of stars, pushing scientists to refine and improve their models. Annual Reviews Editor-in-Chief Richard Gallagher interviewed...

Ep. 3: Tim Besley. How do people’s values evolve? What drives policy? Tim Besley, of the London School of Economics, has explored these questions focusing on the model of environmentalism. Using the tools of economics, he studies the cultural dynamics that drive social change. Annual Reviews Editor-in-Chief Richard Gallaher interviewed Dr. Besley, who is currently the president of the Econometric...

Nancy Grace Roman is interviewed by Joss Bland-Hawthorn for the Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics.

Supplemental Audio 4. Binaural unmasking at low frequencies, version 2 (listen over headphones). The demo is identical to audio 3, except that the roles of the tones is reversed. Now it is the higher-pitched tone which is played anti-phasically, making it more audible against the noise for most listeners. Supplemental audio from the 2019 review by Philip X. Joris and Marcel van der Heijden, "Early...

Supplemental Audio 3. Binaural unmasking at low frequencies, version 1 (listen over headphones). A noise is played. Listen carefully for faint pulsed tones mixed in with the noise. Toward the end, the noise is faded out and the tones become clearly audible. Two tones having slightly different pitch (two semitones apart) are alternated. Which of these two was more audible when the noise was still p...

Supplemental Audio 2. High-frequency binaural beat (listen over headphones). The two tones are now 2000 and 2008 Hz. When listening over headphones the spatial roughness is no longer heard, as the phase is no longer preserved above 1500 Hz. Note: when placing both speakers of the headphone next to one ear, the interaction of the acoustic waveforms cause a regular (acoustical) beat, which is easily...

Supplemental Audio 1. Low-frequency binaural beat (listen over headphones). Two tones of slightly different frequency are played to the two ears, causing a running phase difference that is perceived as a “spatial roughness.” This requires that phase information is preserved in the neural coding of the sounds, which is the case for low frequencies of this demo: 500 and 508 Hz. [Note: computer sound...
