Air pollution isn't just bad for human health; it also poses an existential threat to certain fly species.
New research from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology found that elevated ozone levels inhibit mating among flies.
Ozone in the stratosphere helps protect the Earth from dangerous UV radiation. But down here, the gas is a threat to our health, food supply, and biodiversity. The latter is apparent in this recent study, which found that ozone exposure significantly degrades fly pheromones.
When this happens, male and female flies have a hard time recognizing each other, renderi

NASA has released a stunning new map of the cosmos, one that the agency says could help scientists solve some of the universe’s longstanding mysteries.
Taken using the agency’s SPHEREx **** e telescope, the first all-sky map simulates the instrument’s three-dimensional view of the sky, including the burnt red cosmic dust, electric blue hydrogen gas and white, blue and green stars.

There are plenty of annual recap lists circulating around this time of year, but few of them involve the amount of work put in by California’s Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). Over the past year, researchers guided remotely operated vehicles more than 3,000 feet down to survey the vast biodiversity within some of the oceans’ deepest and darkest regions. The data and footage collected during these trips will help experts fill in the gaps towards understanding the planet’s hardest-to-reach ecosystems.
To celebrate the past 12 months of discoveries, MBARI released a video highli

European country known for stunning women suffers drought of men — forcing would-be brides to ‘hire’ husbands for housework

These women were forced to enact a special “man-date.”
A nationwide shortage of men in Latvia has increasingly forced women to hire “husbands for an hour” to help with their household chores.
According to a recent report by Eurostat, Latvia boasts 15.5% more women than men – over three times the average rate in the European Union, according to local media. Meanwhile, over the age of 65, there are twice as many women as men, per the World Atlas.

She urged balanced, factual communication about artificial intelligence and its impact.
Other AI leaders, including Andrew Ng and Yann LeCun, have also called for balanced AI messaging.
The current rhetoric around AI is far too dramatic, says the Godmother of AI.
"I like to say I'm the most boring speaker in AI these days because precisely my disappointment is the hyperbole on both sides," Fei-Fei Li said in a talk at Stanford University published on Thursday.

US appeals court rejects Trump administration bid to halt grants for school mental health workers

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal appeals court on Thursday rejected the Trump administration's bid to halt an order requiring it to release millions of dollars in grants meant to address the shortage of mental health workers in schools.
The mental health program, which was funded by Congress after the 2022 school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, included grants meant to help schools hire more counselors, psychologists and social workers, with a focus on rural and underserved areas of the country. But

A triple whammy polar vortex is coming. Will your state feel the chill?

The polar vortex is on the move and will take up a position near Hudson Bay, Canada, directing rounds of Arctic air southward from the North Pole to parts of the central and eastern United States through the middle of the month. The waves of Arctic air will trigger rounds of flurries and squalls in some areas and may help fuel storms with more widespread snow.
The Arctic air is expected to deliver subzero temperatures from the Dakotas and Minnesota to Iowa and Nebraska, and by far the lowest temperatures of the season

Instead of stopping to smell the flowers, scientists suggest stopping to smell your farts.
While the thought may be enough to make your stomach turn, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say the gas behind the foul, rotten-egg-smelling stench, known as hydrogen sulfide, can help protect aging brain cells from Alzheimer’s disease.
While the smelly gas is highly toxic in large quantities, smaller doses may provide some serious health benefits, Johns Hopkins researchers noted in a study published in an issue of the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science.

Scientists Find Popular Diabetes Drug Impacts the Brain in Surprising Study

With buzzy medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro making headlines for blood sugar management, it’s easy to forget that some medications have been helping patients with type 2 diabetes for decades. Metformin is a popular one. But while this medication has been around for more than 60 years, scientists are uncovering what it does to the brain.
New research published in the journal Science Advances identifies a brain pathway that metformin seems to work through (along with the impact it has on other areas of the body)

Specific immune cells in the brain may play a crucial role in preventing the onset of Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study – a discovery that could lead to new therapies that try to coax cells into this protective state.
Earlier studies have shown that immune cells in the brain called microglia can effectively tackle the symptoms of Alzheimer's, but also make them worse through inflammation.
Here, an international team of scientists took a detailed look at how microglia switch between those two helpful and harmful modes.

The so-called Costco Effect is a phenomenon that boosts the wages of local economies as companies aim to compete with Costco's (NASDAQ:COST) wages, as defined by the "Micro" YouTube channel.
"Surrounding businesses raise wages up to 40% more," the video said.
Costco's ability to help local businesses is shocking when you compare it to Walmart (NYSE:WMT). While "Micro" discusses the Costco Effect, it also touches upon the Walmart Effect, which demonstrates how a big box retailer can destroy a local economy.

Trump cut tariffs on beef, bananas, coffee and more — but that won't curb prices

When the Trump administration announced it was easing tariffs on a slew of agricultural products, the goal was to appease consumers who are sick of dealing with rising grocery prices.
But though the reduced tariffs could help ease the rate of inflation for foods Americans rely on, it’s unlikely that shoppers will see significant price reductions in store aisles.

Researchers in Spain have made a breakthrough that helps plants resist drought more effectively than their natural defenses.
According to HortiDaily, a team of researchers led by the Spanish National Research Council has developed a molecule called inverted cyanobactin (iCB) that mimics the plant hormone that regulates drought resistance, abscisic acid.
Extreme weather conditions like drought are threatening the global food supply, and the situation will only get worse as the planet continues to overheat.

ONAWAY, Michigan — A recent decision by President Donald Trump to deny disaster aid to two electric utilities in rural northern Michigan could cost residents tens of millions of dollars.
The Oct. 22 denial is a striking example of how Trump’s cuts to disaster aid — and his vow for deeper reductions next year — threaten to shift billions of dollars in costs from federal taxpayers to households struggling to rebuild. In this case, it would hit a working-class region that voted overwhelmingly for the president last year, helping him win the crucial swing state.
Those households could now face t

A new poll found that more Americans are unhappy with President Donald Trump's stances on the economy and cost of living, with almost twice as many saying the president has helped raise prices rather than lowering them.
In a Yahoo/YouGov poll conducted Nov. 21-24, 49% of respondents said Trump's actions since taking office for his second term in January have raised prices instead of cutting them. That's a nearly two-to-one ratio to the 24% who said he's done more to lower costs.
The survey also found more Americans (38%) now blame Trump more for inflation than his predecessor, former Preside
