'If you do want to be a criminal, there is no better place to do it': Author Rose George dives into the dark depths of the fishing industry (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The global fishing industry is plagued by problems. Overfishing remains a severe threat, while production and consumption have increased to record levels. Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing continues to thrive, thereby disrupting marine ecosystems and attempts to manage our oceans sustainably. All the while, climate change is warming the seas, shifting marine populations and shrinking fish body size. It's amid this background that journalist and author Rose George wrote "Every Last Fish
Author Lise Barnéoud on the bizarre and provoking world of microchimerism — when cells from one person live in another, genetically distinct individual (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over a century ago, German pathologist Georg Schmorl documented a strange phenomenon: cells from fetuses that had moved into the mother during pregnancy. He had discovered microchimerism — where the cells from one individual move into another and set up shop. In the past few decades, scientists' understanding of microchimerism has grown, thanks to technological advances. And the implications are wild. Cells transferred during pregnancy could mean you have cells from your grandmother living insid
'It's kind of the holy grail of what is memory': Neuroscientist Steve Ramirez studies the physical basis of memory in a quest to manipulate it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2013, MIT neuroscientists Steve Ramirez and Xu Liu published a paper detailing how they had created false memories in mice. They'd used optogenetics — where cells' activity is manipulated using light — to plant a fearful memory in the brain and then reactivate this memory with these pulses of light. The breakthrough helped to propel research in the field by showing that memories can be artificially constructed. The initial experiments involved using a protein to tag brain cells in the hippoca
'There's a sense that these algorithms are objective and they get to know you': How social media warps our understanding of healthcare (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Social media has upended how people engage with healthcare, as it provides a platform for people to share their experiences, find support groups, and learn more about symptoms and conditions. But it's also given nefarious actors a platform to promote products, spread misinformation and prey on people's fears. Meanwhile, algorithms deliver users an individually tailored stream of content, promoting and prioritizing the most engaging posts with little oversight. In her book "Bad Influence: How the
'His urine goes on tour around Europe, showing the kings and queens this glowing pee': The weird world of alchemy before chemistry (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Long before chemistry was a formal science, humans were experimenting with substances to solve problems, cure illnesses and make money. In his book "The Age of Alchemy: How Early Innovators Shaped Modern Chemistry" (Profile Books, 2026), author Kit Chapman, a science journalist and honorary researcher at Falmouth University in the U.K., traces how this ancient, protoscientific tradition shaped the world. From our ancestors' early use of fire to some accidental — and disastrous — pyrotechnics in
