This week on Peer Review'd: After seven years, researchers finally crack the formula for perfect beer foam, revealing why some pints stay bubbly longer than others. We explore groundbreaking discoveries from blood bacteria that could slow aging, to gut microbes producing serotonin that might revolutionize IBS treatment. Plus, scientists find chemical evidence that Earth's first animals were likely sea sponges, and a 3.4-million-year-old foot reveals Lucy wasn't alone in ancient Ethiopia. We also cover alarming findings about brain damage in fighters, bird flu's heat tolerance, and promising new approaches to cancer and Alzheimer's treatment.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
