Climate change links Tibetan lakes to Yangtze River, fueling flood risks
Climate change is accelerating the reorganization of river-lake systems on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, reshaping hydrological and ecological processes in the "Asian Water Tower."

We’re at a point where these sorts of simple genetic disorders are going to be falling to CRISPR-Cas9 treatments one after another in an accelerating fashion until we run out of targets.
They raise troubling questions about access to care and cost. Ask why we still have people with active Sickle Cell disease, years after the CURE was demonstrated.
The reason is that no one is stepping up with the megabuck per patient. @…

Everyday microplastics could be fueling heart disease
Microplastics—tiny particles now found in food, water, air, and even human tissues—may directly accelerate artery-clogging disease, and new research shows the danger may be far greater for males. In mice, environmentally realistic doses of microplastics dramatically worsened plaque buildup, altered key vascular cells, and activated harmful genes linked to inflammation and atherosclerosis, all without changes to weight or cholesterol.
