This week we look at migratory stars, communicative children and how to make the best cup of coffee, as well as examining some of the latest COVID advice.
When humans learn to speak a language, we learn to produce new vocalizations and use them flexibly for communication, but how the brain is able to achieve this is an important but largely unanswered question, according to ...
