A day after a critical patent ruling on the gene-editing technology called CRISPR, researchers gathered at the 2017 AAAS Annual Meeting to discuss the technology’s future ethical and regulatory concerns surrounding its broader use.

Subha Madhavan, Director of the Innovation Center for Biomedical Informatics at the Georgetown University Medical Center, discusses current and future applications of Big Data within the biomedical field, and the potential challenges Big Data might confer to biomedical research and patient care.

Many studies have suggested that exaggerated ornamentation or weaponry, like beetle horns, deer antlers, or extremely long bird tails, are symbols of a male’s virility. Now, a new study demonstrates how this might work: Researchers have found that the size of a beetle’s horn is more sensitive to insulin signaling than other features, like the insect’s wings or genitalia.
