Annual Reviews: Recent Episodes
Annual Reviews
Annual Reviews was founded in 1932 as a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing the most comprehensive scientific review literature to its readers. Annual Reviews journals operate as a high quality filter, prioritizing and synthesizing the primary research literature in more than 40 focused disciplines for the Biomedical, Life, Physical, and Social Sciences, including Economics. All topics for review are selected by an editorial committee comprised of the most distinguished scholars of the discipline. Annual Reviews articles are written by invited scholars to help researchers and students navigate the vast amount of primary research literature that is available to them. As a result, each article is its own search engine, providing a gateway to the most significant literature within a topic.

Economist Hélène Rey has been working on trying to predict crises using machine-learning techniques. A reliable tool would be a boon for authorities seeking to regulate markets to prevent or mitigate economic catastrophes. Dr. Rey, a professor of economics at the London Business School, talked to Annual Reviews Editor-in-Chief Richard Gallagher.
Air pollution is one of the world’s top 10 health threats, and now scientists can enlist satellites, but also citizens and their devices to help fight it. Annual Reviews President and Editor-in-Chief Richard Gallagher chats with Michael Jerrett, from the Fielding School of Public Health at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is an expert in geographic information science, for exposure assessment, and special epidemiology. They talked about air pollution, its ubiquity, its cost on human health, and the new technologies that we can use today to track it across the world.
Digging space for the age of stars can tell us about galaxy formation and the role of dark matter. New technical advances are opening up the field even more.
What if doctors could collect cancer cells from each patient, grow them in a lab, and test them against different drugs to see which worked best? Hans Clevers, of the Hubrecht Institute in the Netherlands and member of the Editorial Committee of the Annual Review of Cancer Biology, is working to make that happen.
Thirteen percent of people in the U.S. are unable to access or use the internet, and this is creating a new underclass, says Nicol Turner-Lee, of the Brookings Institution.

Supplemental Audio 4. Binaural unmasking at low frequencies, version 2 (listen over headphones). The demo is identical to audio 3, except that the roles of the tones is reversed. Now it is the higher-pitched tone which is played anti-phasically, making it more audible against the noise for most listeners.
Supplemental audio from the 2019 review by Philip X. Joris and Marcel van der Heijden, "Early Binaural Hearing: The Comparison of Temporal Differences at the Two Ears," from the Annual Review of Neuroscience: https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev-neuro-080317-061925?utm_source=soundcloud&utm_medium=ne.joris&utm_campaign=suppvideo
Supplemental Audio 3. Binaural unmasking at low frequencies, version 1 (listen over headphones). A noise is played. Listen carefully for faint pulsed tones mixed in with the noise. Toward the end, the noise is faded out and the tones become clearly audible. Two tones having slightly different pitch (two semitones apart) are alternated. Which of these two was more audible when the noise was still playing, the lower-pitched one or the higher-pitched one? They differ not only in their pitch, but also in their interaural phase.
In this instance the low-pitched tone is presented antiphasically, which improves its audibility for most listeners. The higher-pitched tone is less audible because it is presented in-phase, preventing the use of binaural information for its detection.
It is also instructive to listen to this demo monaurally by lifting one earphone and letting it rest e.g. on the temple of the head, while listening to the other earphone: the binaural effect, here the unmasking of the antiphasic tone, should then disappear. When listening monaurally over the other ear, the tones should still be inaudible. This shows that binaural detection is really “listening between the ears.” That is, with both ears you can hear things unheard of by either ear alone.

Joris and Marcel van der Heijden, "Early Binaural Hearing: The Comparison of Temporal Differences at the Two Ears," from the Annual Review of Neuroscience: https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev-neuro-080317-061925?utm_source=soundcloud&utm_medium=ne.joris&utm_campaign=suppvideo
Supplemental Audio 2. High-frequency binaural beat (listen over headphones). The two tones are now 2000 and 2008 Hz. When listening over headphones the spatial roughness is no longer heard, as the phase is no longer preserved above 1500 Hz. Note: when placing both speakers of the headphone next to one ear, the interaction of the acoustic waveforms cause a regular (acoustical) beat, which is easily heard.
Supplemental audio from the 2019 review by Philip X. Joris and Marcel van der Heijden, "Early Binaural Hearing: The Comparison of Temporal Differences at the Two Ears," from the Annual Review of Neuroscience: https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev-neuro-080317-061925?utm_source=soundcloud&utm_medium=ne.joris&utm_campaign=suppvideo
Supplemental Audio 1. Low-frequency binaural beat (listen over headphones). Two tones of slightly different frequency are played to the two ears, causing a running phase difference that is perceived as a “spatial roughness.” This requires that phase information is preserved in the neural coding of the sounds, which is the case for low frequencies of this demo: 500 and 508 Hz. [Note: computer sound reproduction is typically affected by many soft- and hardware components. It is essential for this demo to have clean separation between the electrical signals going to each earphone. This is easily checked by lifting one earphone and letting it rest e.g. on the temple of the head, while listening to the other earphone: the binaural effect, here the “roughness”, should then disappear. If it doesn’t, this is an indication of (electrical) interaction somewhere in the computer’s reproduction of the signals to the two earphones.]

For centuries, desert travelers have referred to mysterious sounds originating from sand dunes. "Booming," or singing sand dunes have a remarkable capacity to produce sounds that are comparable with those from a stringed instrument. This phenomenon, in which sound is generated after an avalanche of sand along the slip face of a dune, occurs in at least 40 sites around the world.

In conversation with professor Dianne Newman, Caltech geobiologist, James “Jim” J. Morgan recalls his early days in Ireland and New York City, education in parochial and public schools, and introduction to science in Cardinal Hayes High School, Bronx. In 1950, Jim entered Manhattan College, where he elected study of civil engineering, in particular water quality. Donald O'Connor motivated Jim's future study of O2 in rivers at Michigan, where in his MS work he learned to model O2dynamics of rivers. As an engineering instructor at Illinois, Jim worked on rivers polluted by synthetic detergents. He chose to focus on chemical studies, seeing it as crucial for the environment. Jim enrolled for PhD studies with Werner Stumm at Harvard, who mentored his research in chemistry of particle coagulation and oxidation processes of Mn(II) and (IV). In succeeding decades, until retirement in 2000, Jim's teaching and research centered on aquatic chemistry; major themes comprised rates of abiotic manganese oxidation on particle surfaces and flocculation of natural water particles, and chemical speciation proved the key.

Niko Geldner, Assistant Professor of Plant Cell Biology at the University of Lausanne, talks about his article "The Endodermis," which he wrote for the 2013 Annual Review of Plant Biology. The need for multicellular organisms to protect their inner extracellular space led the organisms to develop a diffusion barrier that can remain as selective as the hydrophobic plasma membrane of cells. In animal biology, this barrier is known as the polarized epithelium, which absorbs nutrients but keeps pathogens and excess away. In this lecture, Dr. Geldner discusses the endodermis, the plant variant of the polarized epithelium. Located on the plants' roots, it has been a feature of ferns and angiosperms for approximately 400 million years.

Deakin, ARC Future Fellow at the Research School of Biology at the Australian National University. In this lecture, Prof. Belov discusses the origins of the Devil Facial Tumor Disease (DFTD), a transmissible cancer that has already caused the disappearance of 85 percent of the species and could lead to its extinction in the wild within 25 years. She explains what is known of the tumor based on its genomics, why it is transmitted between animals without causing immune recognition in the devils, and what are the conservation efforts to save the species from extinction.
Dr. Michael Tomasello, of the Department of Developmental and Comparative Psychology at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, discusses his article for the 2013 Annual Review of Psychology, titled "Origins of Human Cooperation and Morality." In this video, he shares footage of chimpanzees and of toddlers collaborating, showing that while cooperation exists among other primates, it is much more developed in our societies, even among very young humans. Children have a stronger sense of egalitarianism, and do a better job of suppressing their self-interest when they cooperate on a task. Not only that, they are capable of demonstrating norm-based group-mindedness, another form of collaboration.

The Annual Review of Physiology presents an interview with Dr. Rita Levi-Montalcini. Dr. Moses Chao interviewed her in September of 2008. Of Dr. Levi-Montalcini, Dr. Chao says: There are very few proven theories that exist in biology. One that has stood the test of time is the neurotrophic theory. It explains why only half of the neurons produced early in development are needed to form a functional nervous system. The explanation came from the discovery of nerve growth factors (NGFs), which help nourish neurons, guide their axons to their proper connections, and prevent cell death. Rita Levi-Montalcini, who formulated this idea, celebrated her 100th birthday on April 22, 2009 in Rome. I had the opportunity to interview her at the European Brain Research Institute (EBRI) in September 2008, which forms the basis of this interview.

Robert A. Dahl, the foremost living theorist of democracy, is the emeritus Sterling Professor of Political Science at Yale University, where he received his Ph.D. in 1940 and where he spent virtually his entire academic career. After five years working for the government—as a management analyst at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, then as an economist in the Office of Price Administration and the War Production Board, and finally as a member of the Army—he returned to Yale in 1946. With colleagues Charles Lindblom, Robert Lane, and others, he helped build the first modern department of political science, a department that asked major substantive questions while using the best social science techniques available at the time.
In this interview, which was conducted on March 30, 2008, Dahl grounds his motivation for studying democracy not only in his academic encounters but also in his experiences growing up in Alaska, attending public schools there, and working with longshore workers as a boy. He does not want to replicate the utopian visions of classical philosophers. His commitment is to the development of an empirical model of democracy that guides scholars in their efforts to determine the extent of democratization throughout the world as well as in the United States. Normatively, he is committed to a democracy that recognizes the rights and voice of all who have a legitimate claim to citizenship.
Philip Benfey, Professor of Biology, Director of the Duke Center for Systems Biology and contributing author of the 2012 Annual Review of Plant Biology, talks about his article Control of Arabidopsis Root Development.

Dr. Paul Bloom, Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science at Yale University and contributing author of the 2012 Annual Review of Psychology, talks about his article "Religion, Morality, Evolution." How did religion evolve? What effect does religion have on our moral beliefs and moral actions? These questions are related, as some scholars propose that religion has evolved to enhance altruistic behavior toward members of one's group. But, Bloom argues, while religion has powerfully good moral effects and powerfully bad moral effects, these are due to aspects of religion that are shared by other human practices. There is surprisingly little evidence for a moral effect of specifically religious beliefs.

The Annual Review of Anthropology presents Irven DeVore, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at Harvard University, in conversation with Peter Ellison, Co-Editor of this journal and Professor of Anthropology and Human Evolutionary Biology, also at Harvard University. Dr. DeVore talks about his life and career, describing how he went from social anthropology to studying and filming baboons and other primates in Africa, to observing the Bushmen of the Kalahari and the Pygmies. Dr. DeVore was one of the first to incorporate sociobiological theory into his work, a decision that would prove as fundamental as it was challenging. In his own words, he would have to "turn [his] back on everything [he'd] understood until that point in anthropology."

The Annual Review of Clinical Psychology presents Aaron T. Beck, President Emeritus of the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania and his daughter Judith S. Beck, President of the Beck Institute and Clinical Associate Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania. In this interview, they talk about his life and career, and how he went from having no interest in psychiatry to creating Cognitive Behavior Therapy. This method, initially developed for patients with depression and anxiety, challenges the subject to question his own negative beliefs, which act as prisms and cause distortions in the way events are perceived. Later, research showed that Cognitive Behavior Therapy was also effective in the treatment of schizophrenia. In the future, Aaron T. Beck says, psychotherapy must be firmly rooted in scientific evidence.

Every year, the Editorial Committee of each Annual Reviews series asks an internationally distinguished researcher to prepare a prefatory article for the volume being planned. It was an easy choice for us to seek a contribution from John B. Fenn (b. 1917), who since 1994 has been a professor of analytical chemistry at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. Few people have achieved the originality and the impact that John Fenn has shown in his development of new instruments for chemical analysis. Anyone using supersonic jet expansions or electrospray ionization owes a huge debt to this special individual, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2002. A full account of the development of electrospray ionization may be found in Fenn's 2002 article in the Journal of Biomolecular Technique.
