Countries in Crisis May Unilaterally Hack the Global Climate

Climatology, Earth Science, Science /

The landmark Paris climate accord sparked a rallying cry among developing nations: “1.5 to survive.” This signifies the global goal of limiting temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.8 Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels. However, it’s anticipated that this threshold will be exceeded within the next decade, with global warming showing minimal signs of abating. The

Believing You Look Younger Tied to Aging Patterns

Healthcare, Medicine, Science /

Aging is an unavoidable process, yet at the cellular level, it can also be influenced—it’s been observed to speed up during pregnancy and periods of stress, but reversibly so. However, the perception of our age based on appearance may not align with how our bodies actually age or function. Possibly judgmental, yet somewhat accurate: Studies

Newer Generations with Larger Brains are Influencing Dementia

Biology, Evolution, Neuroscience, Science /

Larger brain size indicates enhanced brain health and cognitive abilities. Since the 1930s, there has been a consistent increase in brain size. A recent study highlights the implications of this growth on the likelihood of developing dementia, specifically Alzheimer’s disease. By 2020, more than 55 million people worldwide had dementia, with projections indicating a doubling

Rare Gene Variants Linked to Left-Handedness

Biology, Genetics, Science /

A recent study has linked uncommon mutations in certain genes to the occurrence of left-handedness in humans. Understanding the implications of these genetic variations on other aspects of left-handers’ characteristics could provide insights into phenomena such as the genetic predisposition to neurodevelopmental disorders or the onset of neurodegenerative diseases. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute
