Sperm have to survive a brutal journey. The vagina is naturally acidic (pH around 4) to protect against infection. That same acidity kills sperm. Around ovulation, your cervical mucus is supposed to shift. It becomes clear, stretchy, and more alkaline, creating a...
🆕 @ScienceMagazine An exciting new approach vs pancreatic cancer: "cancer interception" Considered ubiquitous, the pancreas in healthy adults has hundreds of PanINs of microscopic premalignant cancer that can be regressed in the experimental model https://t.co/erVtthSMjS https://t.co/2xHIYdIPrx

AI is starting to expand the frontier of theoretical physics. Researchers are now using AI not just as a computational tool, but as something closer to a collaborator helping uncover patterns, generate hypotheses and explore mathematical landscapes that were previously impossible...
When you're pregnant, your baby is floating in its own pee. Sort of. By the third trimester, the majority of amniotic fluid comes from fetal urine. The baby swallows it, their kidneys filter it, and they pee it back out....
A quirk of relativity is the closest thing to achieving immortality Even relativity, with all the power of time dilation, won't increase the span of your lived life. But it can take you far into the future, and even to the ends...

This is apparently the week that climate skeptics in X discovered that CO2 has a logarithmic relationship with radiative forcing. We've actually known this since Arrhenius' work in 1896, and its embedded in all our models. But congratulations on getting caught...
The Wright brothers were told flight was impossible. We went to the MOON when computers had less power than your phone. Every single time, the "impossible" became inevitable. Longevity is no different.
