Scientists led by a team from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark have found a "strong link" between Western-style diets and neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The researchers' analysis also "identifies specific nutrients and foods that could serve as the foundation for improved dietary guidelines and preventative strategies," says food scientist David Horner.

"This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We're essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, & there’s no choice.

"Trump admin attacks on the NIH mean biomedical research will become less ambitious, less competitive & result in fewer breakthroughs."

Stand up universities and science:
"For people outside higher education, this is a moment to speak publicly about why universities matter. They promote public health, economic growth and national security....They are an unmatched, if imperfect, engine of upward mobility"

The New York Times · Opinion | Colleges Are Under Attack. They Can Fight Back.
A study which played the same filmed #dog behaviours alongside different 'causes' has revealed that humans tend to look less at the dog's signals and more at the 'trigger' when presuming the dog's emotion.
Seeing the *same* behaviour alongside getting a leash, humans presumed positivity, but alongside a vacuum cleaner, negativity. Thus, the real communication is lost.
It is more accurate to guess looking at tail position, rapid facial cues, breathing etc.

Whether they hop around the prairie, dabble in wetlands, flit through forests, or forage along the shore, birds are suffering rapid population declines across the United States.
That’s the finding from the latest State of the Birds report, a status check on the country’s avian life published every few years by a coalition of science and conservation groups. The 2025 report shows that birds across most habitats have suffered major losses since 1970. Grassland and aridland species have been dealt the heaviest blow: both groups lost more than 40% of their total populations over that period.
What’s more, the trends for many habitat groups have gotten worse. Even waterfowl, which had previously been a conservation bright spot amid the alarming declines, have seen their numbers drop since the last edition of the report. Overall, around one-third of U.S. birds, or 229 species, are of high or moderate conservation concern, according to the report — dealing with low population levels, declining trends, or other threats that call for conservation action to step up.

Life on Earth may have started earlier than previously thought.
All life on Earth can be traced back to a Last Universal Common Ancestor, or LUCA.
A study suggests that this organism likely lived on Earth only 400 million years after its formation.
Further analysis also shows that this life form likely sported an early immune system, which means it was probably fighting off viruses.

What if we put solar panels on every roof in the world?
Scientists set out to explore the impact of covering every rooftop on Earth with solar panels.Their research found that swapping traditional energy sources for rooftop solar could actually cool the planet — lowering global temperatures by up to 0.13°C.
