Fake 20mph claims and bogus manifesto among election misinformation

Claims about the real cost of the 20mph policy and a fake political party manifesto are among the misinformation about Welsh politics being shared online by prominent accounts in the build-up to the Senedd election, the BBC has found.
The examples come from pages seen by BBC Wales' undercover voters and include one account which brands itself as a "trusted news source for Welsh communities" while actually acting as an unofficial party support page.
The project tracks what a group of fictional voters are seeing online; the

The era of easily detectable botnets is coming to an end, according to a new report published in Science on Thursday.

Written by a consortium of researchers, including those from Oxford, Cambridge, UC Berkeley, NYU, and the Max Planck Institute, the paper describes a digital environment in which manipulation becomes harder to identify. Instead of short burst

In preparation for winter, the common shrew (Sorex araneus) shrinks its brain by 30 percent to conserve precious energy. Then, come spring, the shrew miraculously 'regrows' its shrivelled brain, neurons fully intact.
Scientists have now traced the evolutionary origins of this rare adaptation and the genes that likely enable it. While fascinating in its own right, this information may also spark new approaches to understanding and treating human brain degeneration.

Financial misinformation isn’t new, but today, it’s supercharged. The 24/7 news cycle fueled by social media virality means you’re more likely than ever to consume inaccurate or misleading information every day. Sometimes these narratives, no matter how false, seep into our collective consciousness and give a false impression of our finances and the economy. This is the basis of a “vibecession,” that is, a disconnect between the actual performance of the economy and our overly negative perception of it.
Take, for example, a chart that made the social media rounds recently. It peddled the mess

As we age, the human brain rewires itself.
The process happens in distinct phases, or “epochs,” according to new research, as the structure of our neural networks changes and our brains reconfigure how we think and process information.
For the first time, scientists say they’ve identified four distinct turning points between those phases in an average brain: at ages 9, 32, 66 and 83. During each epoch between those years, our brains show markedly different characteristics in brain architecture, they say.
The findings, published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications, suggest that huma
