If true -well done Veronika!

[News from Science @NewsfromScience]

About a decade ago, a baker in a small mountainous village in southern Austria noticed his cow doing something unusual. When Veronika had an itch, she would grab a stick in her mouth and use it to scratch her body. Over the years, the brown bovid’s technique improved. She could pick up objects as large as a broom or rake and move them around with her prehensile tongue, changing their length and orientation to ensure the best possible scratch.

The behavior isn’t just a clever trick: It’s the first documented case of tool use in cattle, scientists report.

And, it turns out, one of Veronika’s skills has only been seen in humans and chimpanzees. Learn more: https://t.co/iVyXt180Oh

🧬 Can Viruses Help Us Defeat Superbugs?

Bacteriophage therapy is gaining renewed attention as antibiotic resistance continues to rise worldwide. Unlike broad-spectrum antibiotics, phages precisely target harmful bacteria while leaving the beneficial microbiome intact.

In our Q&A, Dr Ikechukwu Moses (Division of Infectious Diseases, EPM-UNIFESP, São Paulo, Brazil) shares key insights on:
🔹 Why phage therapy is re-emerging as a promising alternative
🔹 The infections and patient groups most likely to benefit
🔹 Ongoing global studies driving clinical adoption

@Rainmaker1973 The bacteriophage angle is promising—custom phages could be a real answer to antibiotic resistance. But the Microsoft Research finding about evading DNA synthesis screens is concerning. We're in a race between detection and evasion, and right now detection is playing catch-up.

Scientists have discovered a biological "arms race" unfolding aboard the ISS. New research reveals that microgravity forces phages to evolve into more efficient predators to survive the lack of fluid mixing in space.

@ShiningScience Huge win against AMR!
Tailored phages could save lives where antibiotics fail. But the same tech could engineer deadly human viruses from scratch → dual-use nightmare for engineered pandemics. Biosecurity must catch up FAST!

[Frontiers Unknown @TheUAPMinute]

🧬🛰️ Space station microbes may offer a new weapon against drug-resistant superbugs

Researchers studying bacteriophages — viruses that infect bacteria — on the ISS found that microgravity nudges evolution in unusual directions. Phages exposed to space conditions developed mutations that made them better at attacking certain bacterial strains back on Earth, including some that are notoriously hard to treat.

Why it’s promising:
• microgravity creates evolutionary pathways we don’t see on Earth
• some space-shaped phages showed enhanced bacteria-killing ability
• antibiotic resistance is a major global crisis with few new drugs in the pipeline

It’s early science, but it suggests space could become a biotech testbed, not just a physics lab — and that outsmarting superbugs might require thinking beyond the planet that created them.
