2025-11-24 23:05:33 +00:00 A newly discovered monumental basin in Gabii hints at how early Romans experimented with city planning long before Rome’s own layers were buried. In the center of the ancient city of Gabii, just 11 miles east of Rome, archaeologists led by University of Missouri professor Marcello Mogetta have uncovered an extraordinary find: a large stone-lined […] Read more…
2025-11-24 22:00:43 +00:00 Neighborhoods within 1000 meters of cannabis retailers showed rising cannabis-related emergency visits, while unexposed neighborhoods saw declines. The pattern suggests that commercialization and dense store clustering may elevate public health risks. Cannabis Store Exposure Linked to Higher Rates of Harm A population-based natural experiment explored how living near cannabis retail stores relates to cannabis-related harms. […] Read more…
2025-11-24 20:00:42 +00:00 Researchers have revealed that the majority of dogs today carry small but significant amounts of wolf DNA from ancient hybridization events. These wolf genes influence traits like size, scent detection, work specialization, and even behavioral tendencies. Some breeds show surprising levels of ancestry, including those purposely bred to look wolf-like and others where it was […] Read more…
2025-11-24 19:28:09 +00:00 Researchers report that some chemicals used in printed food-package stickers as replacements for bisphenol A can still disrupt human ovarian cell function. Chemicals that have taken the place of bisphenol A (BPA) in food packaging may cause potentially harmful changes in human ovarian cells, according to a team of researchers at McGill University. In a […] Read more…
2025-11-24 19:03:06 +00:00 A new study finds that 18- to 21-year-olds who eat diets high in ultra-processed foods tend to overeat, even when they’re already full.
