A group of researchers at UC Merced has found that climate change means it takes about three months longer for California to recover from drought, and probably longer.
“Climate change has...
In simulated life-or-death decisions, about two-thirds of people in a UC Merced study allowed a robot to change their minds when it disagreed with them -- an alarming display of excessive trust in...
Researchers at UC Merced used fruit flies to uncover a cellular process common to many organisms that could dramatically impact the understanding of cancer and aging.
