Brazil just hosted #COP30 in the heart of the Amazon while approving new offshore oil drilling and weakening forest protections. A Science letter calls this out: β€œBrazil’s hypocrisy at COP30”. The message is clear, protect the Amazon or keep betting on oil. You cannot have both.

James D. Watson, Nobel laureate and co-discoverer of DNA’s double helix, has died at 97.
His scientific achievements are undeniable but his legacy is marred by repeated racist and sexist statements that perpetuated harmful stereotypes in science.
A reminder that brilliance does not excuse bigotry.

Ever wondered why you can remember exactly where you were when you got shocking news but forget what you did yesterday? Scientists say emotional moments reach back in time to strengthen even the mundane memories around them and they’ve mapped out how the brain picks which memories to keep.

After years of sniffing out tuberculosis in Africa, Caroline, an African giant pouched rat (Cricetomys ansorgei), officially retired in March.
Her incredible nose helped detect thousands of TB cases missed by conventional methods and she did it much faster than lab technicians.
