Episode 311 Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
New research reveals that ancient Antarctic ice cycles once dictated biological productivity in subtropical oceans thousands of miles away, while a sweeping genetic survey of the Southern Ocean has uncovered an invisible microbial world that may be quietly controlling Earth's climate. Meanwhile, a 50-year bottleneck in producing one of the world's most widely used chemotherapy drugs has finally been cracked, and scientists have pinpointed a biological pathway connecting gut bacteria to age-related memory loss — and it may be reversible. Plus, a controversial replication study is sending shockwaves through quantum computing, a popular weight-loss drug has raised a serious new safety flag, and your kitchen sponge has some explaining to do.
