A Wild Potato’s 10,000-Year Journey Through the Southwest Ancient Indigenous peoples transported a wild potato across the Southwest, expanding its range thousands of years ago. More than 10,000 years ago, people living in the American Southwest carried a wild relative of today’s potato across long distances, helping the plant spread beyond its original habitat. According to a study published today (January 21, 2026) [...]

Strange New Side of Viral Evolution Revealed on the International Space Station Viruses that infect bacteria can still do their job in microgravity, but space changes the rules of the fight. In a new experiment conducted aboard the International Space Station, scientists found that viruses which infect bacteria can still successfully infect E. coli under near-weightless microgravity conditions. While infection still occurred, the interaction between viruses and [...]

Even the Fittest Women Can’t Outrun Menopause Menopause symptoms are widespread among female endurance athletes—and many say they’re quietly sabotaging training and performance. A recent study reports that menopause symptoms are very common among female endurance athletes, and many women say these symptoms are interfering with both training and athletic performance. The research was published today (December 17, 2025) in the open-access [...]

Male Bonobos Crack the Code of Hidden Fertility Signals Male bonobos have developed a surprisingly savvy strategy for navigating the confusing fertility cues of females, whose conspicuous swelling doesn’t reliably indicate ovulation. By tracking both how long it’s been since a female reached peak swelling and the age of her youngest infant, males zero in on the moments when conception is most likely. Male [...]

Just 2 Cigarettes a Day May Raise Heart Failure Risk by 50% Researchers studying over 300,000 adults found that even light smoking—just two to five cigarettes a day—dramatically boosts the risk of heart disease and death. The benefits of quitting are significant, especially in the first decade, but some excess risk remains for decades. Cutting back helps far less than quitting fully. Low-Intensity Smoking Still Raises Major [...]

New Study Decodes the 4,000-Year-Old Mystery of China’s Tomb Locations Burial site distributions reveal how people lived and died over thousands of years. Tombs scattered across China, constructed from the ancient Xia Dynasty (around 4,000 years ago) to modern times, reveal how political and social changes shaped the nation’s history. This finding comes from a study published on October 29, 2025, in the open-access journal [...]

Update. In response to this problem (previous post, this thread), some publishers are desk-rejecting papers based on open health datasets. The problem is not the quality of the data, but the absence of additional work to validate the findings.

Oh and #PLOS has a #TeXLaTeX template, which is a hard requirement for me. Journals not accepting LaTeX in physics fields is just silly. #PLOS's template is a bit funny though. No provided class, and you're supposed to submit it self-contained by manually pasting-in the auto-generated […]
