Slower biological aging linked to several diets that are very different
Healthy eating was linked to slower biological aging across several very different diets, suggesting there is no single right way to eat well.

celegans_interactomes: C. elegans interactomes (2009)
Ten networks of protein-protein interactions in Caenorhabditis elegans (nematode), from yeast two-hybrid experiments, biological process maps, literature curation, orthologous interactions, and genetic interactions. The WI8 network combines WI2004, WI2007 and BPmaps, while the Integrated Network combines data from all sources.
This network has 431 nodes and 438 edges.

Analysis: Atrazine Pollutes 25% of River Miles in Continental U.S. at Levels Known to Harm Wildlife
Levels of the hormone-disrupting pesticide atrazine known to harm aquatic wildlife are estimated to contaminate more than 25% of all river and stream miles in the lower 48 states — nearly 860,000 miles, according to a new analysis by the Center for Biological Diversity. The analysis, which assessed Environmental Protection Agency water contamination data, also found that dangerous levels of atrazine pollute waterways relied on by more than 20% of U.S. surface-water treatment facilities, rese…
