Growing up in Tahiti, Anna-Bella Failloux saw firsthand the threat posed by mosquitoes: Nearly a third of adults on the picturesque island once had swollen limbs from elephantiasis caused by their bites.
Britain will ban children aged under 16 from using a range of social media apps, including Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube, to protect them from harmful content and excessive screen time, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Monday.
A 6.7 magnitude earthquake shook part of central Indonesia's Sulawesi island Tuesday, causing scattered damage and rattling residents of a city devastated by a quake and tsunami eight years ago.
Humans evolved to pay close attention to danger, but today that instinct is being overwhelmed by an endless supply of bad news from around the world. Researchers say the answer isn’t to stop following current events—it’s to build healthier habits around how, when, and where we get our news.
A copper-based compound restored the brain’s ability to clear toxic Alzheimer’s proteins, dramatically reducing amyloid buildup and improving memory in laboratory experiments. The findings point to a potentially fast-tracked new treatment strategy because the drug has already been tested in humans for other neurological conditions.
Consider what is asked of a clinical trial. Researchers gather people who differ in nearly every way that matters. They are given the same drug at the same dose, and then they average the result and call the average truth. Most of the time the trick holds. Sometimes it lies.
A new analysis has found that after Utah lowered the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for driving from 0.08 to 0.05 g/dL, alcohol-related crash fatalities declined significantly more in Utah than in its six contiguous states. The findings from the study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, provide timely evidence that lowering the BAC limit may save lives and point to broad public safety benefits.
The Nebraska Sandhills—the largest system of sand dunes in the Western Hemisphere—stretch across about one-quarter of the state.
Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a previously unrecognized way the kidneys regulate water balance—an advance that could lead to improved treatments for polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and other disorders. The study, led by Fouad Chebib, M.D., a nephrologist at Mayo Clinic, is published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
The EU must reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040 relative to 1990—of which 5 percentage points can be achieved through climate action elsewhere, according to the 2025 law. A study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) now proposes a novel instrument for this external component: performance-based Jurisdictional Reward Funds. This avoids perverse incentives, strengthens international and thus also European climate action, and costs just 5 billion euros annually.
Researchers just got one step closer to solving the age-old question of whether cats or dogs make better pets. A team in the Netherlands set out to better understand the nuances and underlying mechanisms behind the positive influence of pet ownership on owners' emotional well-being. They also examined whether the beneficial influence of pet interaction is specific to either species and found tentative evidence of a difference in how interacting with cats and dogs affects stressed owners.

Monash University researchers have launched Australia's first clinical trial to test whether the psychedelic drug psilocybin is an effective treatment for persistent post-concussion symptoms.
Soviet-era theory touted by Putin’s former campaign manager claims oil deposits can form without organic matter
Researchers at the University of Liverpool have developed a new toolkit to support health care professionals in delivering culturally informed menopause care. The work is highlighted in a Correspondence published in The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynaecology & Women's Health and draws on findings from a research project exploring the lived experiences of menopause among women from Black and Chinese communities in the U.K.
People are increasingly seeking health information online in Estonia, but the information they find is not leading to better health decisions. The concern is not a lack of information but people's digital literacy and ability to make sense of it.
Many people do not finish a massive open online course (MOOC). This does not match the goal of large-scale online learning. Learners have different goals and backgrounds. Xiaomei Wei's dissertation research looks at what keeps students engaged and what helps them learn the course content deeply in a MOOC. Wei will defend her dissertation on June 25 at Leiden University.
Researchers are pushing back on abrupt NSF cuts to the costly Ocean Observatories Initiative
Adolescents in rural Appalachian communities face disproportionate mental health risks and geographic isolation, but new research from Georgetown University's Berkley School of Nursing suggests that youth-led environmental design can foster a unique form of "Situated Strength."
According to UNESCO, around 250 million children (16%) globally are out of school, although they are of an age to be at school in their countries. Available evidence suggests that out-of-school numbers are extremely high in conflict-affected countries, though the exact number is hard to quantify. For example, in the Central African Republic, South Sudan and Eritrea, more than 50% of primary school-age children are not going to school.
