🔬 Science Just Changed: Malaria's Achilles Heel Found, Antarctica's Ice Map Revealed & Your Brain Has a Hidden Rhythm

from 🎙️ Science News Daily | Peer Review'd · host Peer Review'd

Scientists have pinpointed a protein that the malaria parasite cannot survive without, opening the door to entirely new treatments for a disease that kills hundreds of thousands annually. A sweeping 30-year satellite study has produced the first continent-wide map of Antarctic ice loss, with results that put the scale of climate change into stark relief. Researchers used laser technology to analyze Charles Darwin's original Galápagos specimens without ever opening the jars — nearly 200 years after they were sealed. An experimental drug slashed seizures by up to 91% in children with a devastating form of epilepsy, while new findings on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic suggest their benefits to the heart may run deeper than anyone expected. From quantum physics to 2,700-year-old Iron Age teeth, this episode is packed with discoveries that are reshaping what we thought we knew.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
