Sonia Fernandez

Sonia Fernandez is a science journalist with a focus on physics and embryonic development. She has contributed to several publications including Phys.org and Nature Cell Biology. Her work often involves translating complex scientific concepts into accessible language for the general public. In her recent article, she reported on a collaboration between research groups at the University of California, TU Dresden in Germany, and Cedars-Sinai Guerin Children in Los Angeles that identified a mechanism by which embryonic cells organize themselves to send signals to surrounding cells during organ development. This discovery could potentially lead to further research into how birth defects are formed and can be prevented.

New Genetic Analysis Reveals Small, Isolated Population of Woolly Mammoths on Wrangel Island Suffered from Inbreeding Before Extinction

Broke On: Thursday, 27 June 2024 New research reveals that the last woolly mammoths on Wrangel Island, which survived for 6,000 years after disappearing from other continents, suffered from genetic disorders due to inbreeding despite having a stable population of around 200-300 individuals. This discovery sheds light on the importance of maintaining large and genetically diverse populations for long-term species survival.
