I rarely hear scientists expressing confidence like this: “And while the BCL6 discovery came through a study on mice, researchers are confident it will translate to human physiology.” ~ learn more
This is a bit of a dense writing flush with scientific names and terms, but its short. There’s growing evidence that a gut microbe has a causal role in major depressive disorder. ~ learn more
The best part about this is that it’ll be old news in a year. “A breakthrough new AI model is able to detect the presence of different lung diseases from ultrasound videos, with 96.57% accuracy, and it is even able […]

Researchers created a new carbon material with a vast molecular surface area. “After the material was created, the researchers tested it to see how much carbon dioxide it could sequester from the atmosphere. The result was that in just two […]
Pretty much this: “if you take the most prominent description of how the rat’s neurons spikes when exploring a maze, that very description is structured like the maze itself” ~ learn more
“Swearing has been shown to improve physical performance in tasks that are relatively short and intense, and this effect has been repeated across experiments, suggesting that it may be a reliable effect.” ~ learn more
