Repeated failures to reproduce generates stress and frustration in fruit flies, which, in turn, negatively impacts their resilience to other types of stress. This was one of the insights found in a study led by Dr. Julia Ryvkin of the Bar-Ilan University Goodman Faculty of Life Sciences, which was published in the PLOS Genetics journal.

Three studies led by Prof. Ofer Bergman of the Bar-Ilan University Department of Information Science have uncovered a relationship between music collection and listening enjoyment in the era of streaming music. The studies shed light on the impact of streaming applications on the subjective evaluation of music and suggest that rediscovering the act of music collecting within the apps can significantly enhance the overall listening experience.
