As Obama pushes for an overhaul of immigration law, Mexico’s ex-Secretary of Foreign Affairs warns that he must succeed this year, or risk seeing his policies stall as George W. […]

The U.S.-Mexico border fence carries a “terrible” symbolic message, but virtually no practical impact.

From his tenure as Mexico’s secretary of foreign affairs to his professorship at NYU, Jorge Castañeda has sought to spark foreign interest and domestic hope in Latin America.

A conversation with the professor of politics at New York University.

Dolphin intelligence is even more impressive than scientists previously believed. So what are the ethical ramifications for our treatment of these extraordinary creatures?

Emory University Neuroscientist and Behavioral Biologist Lori Marino says there is no evidence that zoos help promote conservation through education. For example, Japan has more marine parks than any other […]

Dolphins are living proof that you don’t need hands to create and use tools. Their sophisticated manipulations of water, air, and sea floor also demonstrate how culture spreads among their […]

Lori Marino’s discoveries around the incredible level of intelligence in dolphins show they should be treated as sentient beings with lives to lead, not objects or commodities.

Emory University Neuroscientist and Behavioral Biologist Lori Marino campaigns against the treatment of dolphins as commodities, especially the dolphin slaughters around the world, including the Taiji drives in Japan.

Studying the intelligence, behavior and evolution of dolphins can help humans to gain perspective on who we are.

It’s easier to read the facial expressions of chimpanzees due to their close evolutionary ties to humans, as compared to the facial expressions of dolphins. Though in the end, both […]

Emory University Neuroscientist and Behavioral Biologist Lori Marino discusses how evolution has allowed a basic psychological continuity to develop across human, dolphins, primates and all species.

Emory University Neuroscientist and Behavioral Biologist Lori Marino discusses the impact of her research on dolphins and primates. She encourages young students to become sciencists of, and advocate for, animals.

The discovery that dolphins can recognize themselves in a mirror was the first time self awareness was identified outside of the primates, making them one of a handful of species, […]

Emory University Neuroscientist and Behavioral Biologist Lori Marino knows when dolphins got brainy, and speculates their sophisticated social lives required the evolution.

Dolphins in captivity are not happy or healthy, according Emory University Neuroscientist and Behavioral Biologist Lori Marino.

Dolphins have the second largest brain-to-body size ratio next to humans, earning them a spot among the most intelligent specidies on the planet.

The dolphin’s natural language system is so complex that we cannot yet fully decode it, but believe that they communicate in a human-like system of signs and can likely understand […]

While openness encourages scientific discovery and reduces duplication, in the corporate sphere, it often results in idea theft.

Vincent Pieribone is most excited about figuring out a way to study the brain without destroying it.
