decisions

The Royal Society has today called on the newly established Department of Energy and Climate Change to take the right decisions on energy that will help tackle climate change.

(University of Copenhagen) The UN Conference on Climate Change 2009 has asked IARU to organize this congress as part of the run-up to the COP Summit.

The focus is on providing a picture of the "big issues" that the scientific community finds necessary that policy makers are aware of in order to make enlightened decisions in response to climate change.

The main findings of this congress will be included in the official material for the COP15 meeting.

Psychologists find evidence that it's not. People act in their own best interests, according to traditional views of how and why we make the decisions that we do.

However, psychologists have recently found evidence that this assumption is not necessarily true. In fact, most of us will act in the best interest of our team -- often at our own expense.

A team of scientists has unraveled how the brain unconsciously prepares our decisions.

Just like people who are looking for a perfect place to live, some female bees search for the ideal place to build their nests.

Entomologists are discovering more about the "nesting cues" that influence wild bees' house-hunting decisions. It's information that may help entice more of the hardworking pollinators to take up residence in new, ready-to-occupy nesting structures that growers and beekeepers provide.

Emotions play an important role in the lives of humans, and influence our behavior, thoughts, decisions, and interactions.

The ability to regulate emotions is essential to both mental and physical well-being.
