"I was late learning about science … For much of my scientific training I feared I was behind my peers. But I have been able to close the gap—and that is something to be proud of." #NationalHigherEducationDay

A 17 year-old Lion survived for five years after going blind because her daughters stayed by her side and refused to abandon her.

Researchers observed the lionesses helping the elderly matriarch by allowing her to feed first and staying close to guide and defend her, showing an extraordinary level of social bonding rarely seen so clearly in wild predators.

For years, the gold standard for spotting early Alzheimer’s was the amyloid PET scan, which could detect brain plaques 10 to 20 years before symptoms appeared. However, a groundbreaking study has identified a “pre-early” warning sign.

Researchers found that a blood test for pTau217 (phosphorylated tau 217) can predict amyloid buildup and cognitive decline even when initial brain scans appear perfectly normal. This discovery could shift Alzheimer’s screening from expensive, invasive scans to a simple, scalable blood test during routine checkups.

For decades, “neuroinflammaging”, the slow-burning inflammation that causes brain fog and memory decline, was considered an unavoidable part of getting older. However, a landmark study suggests the clock can be turned back.

Researchers developed a non-invasive nasal spray that uses microscopic “delivery parcels” to travel directly into the brain. With just two doses, the therapy dramatically reduced chronic inflammation, recharged cellular “power plants” (mitochondria), and restored memory and cognitive sharpness in aging models.

Of the many impressive acrobatic qualities of cats, perhaps their most spectacular is their ability to right themselves midair so they always seem to land on their feet.

The trick, according to a new study, lies in a hyperflexible region of their backbone known as the thoracic spine, which runs from the base of their shoulder blades to the end of their rib cage.

We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question that divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct.
