🔬 Life Evolved Twice, Childhood Trauma Lives in Your Cells & a Common Drug Is Hurting Men's Vision
from 🎙️ Science News Daily | Peer Review'd · host Peer Review'd
Scientists are challenging one of biology's most foundational assumptions, with new research suggesting cellular life may have originated independently not once, but twice — raising explosive questions about life's place in the universe. A landmark mouse study reveals that early childhood trauma may leave permanent molecular changes inside brain cells, physically rewiring vulnerability to anxiety and depression decades later. A widely prescribed medication taken by millions of men has been flagged in a major new study for a surprising and serious link to vision loss. Researchers in Berlin report dramatic breakthroughs using a cannabis-based drug to reduce PTSD nightmares, while a McGill University study finds that something as simple as your posture may be quietly shaping your mood and financial decisions. Plus: seven new frog species discovered after 12 years, a crab found alive inside a floating plastic bottle, and CT scans that are finally clearing the dodo's name.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
