By Tessa Koumoundouros / Editorial Assistant and Journalist at ScienceAlert Gut microbes can cause obesity and we’re getting closer to understanding how. Recently, medical researchers discovered a molecule that links the tiny creatures that call our gut home to levels of fat in our bodies. Emory University biochemist Dean Jones explained: “We now have a molecular mechanism that provides a starting point to understand our microbiome as a link between our diet and our body composition.”

What if I told you that 70% of YOU: that is, the water that makes up ‘YOU”, is older than the earth itself? That ALL water on Earth is older than the planet? — How life arose uniquely in our solar system on Earth depends on our understanding of the history of water in the solar system. Despite several studies, understanding the origin of water on planetary bodies remains unknown. Scientists have followed the trail of the isotopic composition of water back to the…

Thanks to Analies Dyjak | Policy Nerd Per and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) have received a ton of media attention in the past few years. PFAS are a category of toxic contaminants that have invaded public and private drinking water systems across the entire country. …

by Rosemary Mason & Colin Todhunter Jan 27, 2022 The volume of pesticide use and exposure is occurring on a scale that is without precedent and world-historical in nature. Agrichemicals are now pervasive as they cycle through bodies and environments. …
