 " Who are the medieval people whose DNA you inherited? Each fragment of your DNA descends from a random line up your family tree – father’s mother’s mother’s father and so on – at each generation in the past, selecting at random one of two parents. The more lines in your family tree that reach a certain medieval person, the more likely you are to inherit DNA from that person."

 " If you're feeling "under the weather" these days, you're probably human. We all are feeling it, whether we're aware of it or not. Our health remains tethered to the air and light around us, despite all the progress that has given us a certain insularity. The study of the atmosphere's effects on our bodies is known as biometeorology, a science that has gone in and out of favor through the centuries." For more details: Under the weather?

 "In conclusion, a very small number of RCTs have currently addressed the effects of omega-3  fatty acids supplementation on patients with PD. All of them showed promising results regarding  disease progression, as assessed by the UPDRS scale, while certain beneficial effects were reported  for depression and markers of insulin resistance, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Further studies  are strongly recommended to elucidate the role of omega-3 fatty acids supplementation in the clinical  course of PD" For the whole paper: Omega-3 fatty acids’ supplementation in Parkinson’s disease: A systematic review of 2 randomized controlled trials.

  "Scientists researched whether polyphenols found in foods, herbs, and spices in one’s regular diet can affect gut health. Polyphenols are compounds found in some plant-based foods that can work as antioxidants in the body and provide protection against some diseases. Their findings showed that the polyphenols from herbs and spices may be responsible for an increase in beneficial gut microbes."

 " With just one injection, it provides good protection in a very elastic age range, from two to 60 incomplete years, according to the published results. It also has the differential of being able to be applied to those who have or have not already been infected by the dengue   virus . Protection was observed in all age groups, with 90% in adults aged 18 to 59, 77.8% in those aged seven to 17 and 80.1% in children aged two to six. The analysis of the effectiveness of the immunogen was carried out over two years with just under 17,000 volunteers in 16 research centers. The study is in its final phase and will complete in June 2024. The next step will be to finalize the dossier with all the study information to apply for registration at Brazil's National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) by the second half of 2024."

 " For example, suppose we discover scientifically that a certain form of brain activity is correlated with the conscious experience of an organism. The physicalist will interpret this as the form of organisation which turns non-conscious physical processes – such as electrical signals between brain cells – into conscious experience, whereas the panpsychist will interpret it as the form of organisation which unifies individual conscious particles into one larger conscious system. Thus we find two very different philosophical interpretations of the same scientific data."
