Kids and math-anxious parents see lasting benefits from app
Parents who are anxious about math can still help their children learn the subject when given the right tools, according to research from current and former University of Chicago scholars. A new study published in the December issue of the Journal of Experimental Psychology found that math-anxious parents who used an app called Bedtime Math saw improvement in their children's math achievement-even years after the families stopped using the app.

What can we learn from studying microbes under our feet
Microbes are single-cell organisms that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. Yet while relatively inconspicuous, they are the dominant life form on our planet. "Microbes shape how everything in this world survives," said Jack Gilbert, faculty director at the University of Chicago's Microbiome Center and group leader for microbial ecology at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory.
