As I write this, it’s 83 degrees Fahrenheit in Washington, DC, and I can’t help but long for those years when I was a kid, when spring felt like spring and seasons were demarcated. Each year, summer-like temperatures arrive all too soon during spring, thanks to human-induced climate change. Research finds that even if we halt heat-trapping emissions, we’ll be locked into a summer season that consumes half of the year by 2100.

Machine learning algorithms could one day be used to improve speech recognition in hearing-impaired people, researchers in Germany have shown. Using a novel algorithm, Jana Roßbach and colleagues at Carl von Ossietzky University could accurately predict when people with both normal hearing, and those with different levels of hearing impairment would mishear over 50% of words in a variety of noisy environments – an important test of hearing-aid efficacy.
