"We want to create a narrative out of all the heterogeneous data"

Published:04.08.20 — Summer series: A calling for research. Sarah Kenderdine, head of the Laboratory for Experimental Museology in the College of Humanities, has spent the last four years tracing, photographing, and digitally reconstructing the seldom-told story of Buddhism’s maritime spread across Asia.

Blood-thinner with no bleeding side-effects is here

Published:04.08.20 — In a study led by EPFL, scientists have developed a synthetic blood-thinner that, unlike all others, doesn’t cause bleeding side-effects. The highly potent, highly selective, and highly stable molecule can suppress thrombosis while letting blood clot normally following injury.
