  1. 💊 Danish researchers have found a link between mothers taking paracetamol during pregnancy and smaller ovaries, fewer ovarian follicles - where immature eggs are stored - smaller uteruses, and lower levels of reproductive hormones in their daughters at three months old. The researcher included 685 women and 302 daughters, who were examined when they were three months old. The team then compared the daughters of mothers who took paracetamol with daughters of mothers who did not. Additionally, the team found similar results in a separate group of 1,210 girls whose mothers had taken paracetamol during pregnancy, who were followed up through adolescence. It's important to note that this study cannot prove cause and effect, and the researchers themselves stress that their findings should not alarm or discourage women from using paracetamol during pregnancy.

  6. 🚬 A link between carbon monoxide and Parkinson's disease may explain why smokers are at a lower risk of developing the condition, according to international research. The team monitored the health of over 500,000 Chinese adults over 12 years, including 1,131 people with Parkinson's and 2,949 with other neurodegenerative diseases. They investigated the impact of smoking through self-reported smoking frequency and measuring carbon monoxide in breath - usually an indicator of smoking. The researchers say both smoking history and exhaled carbon monoxide were linked to a lower risk of Parkinson's. While smokers generally had higher carbon monoxide levels in their breath, the researchers say non-smokers with high carbon monoxide levels also had a lower risk of Parkinson's - suggesting carbon monoxide may be independently protective against Parkinson's. Australian researchers highlight that smoking increases the risk of a host of different health problems, but say this finding could help us better understand why Parkinson's disease bucks the trend.

  11. 📵 New laws proposed by the Australian Government would force social media platforms to offer an opt-out for algorithmic feeds, as part of draft legislation released for "targeted consultation" today. The laws aim to "put the onus on digital service providers to provide a safe online environment, setting minimum standards for the features and tools they use." Digital services will also be required to protect under-18s from harmful content, including content related to eating disorders, misogyny, pornography, crime, dangerous stunts, abuse and bullying.

  36. Coriolis Effect ✍️

    It explains why objects moving across a rotating world seem to curve from their straight path, even when no visible force pushes them sideways. Imagine throwing a ball straight across a spinning merry-go-round. To someone standing still outside, the ball travels in a straight line. But to someone riding the spinning platform, the ball appears to bend away from its path.

    The same thing happens on Earth because our planet is constantly rotating beneath everything that moves. Air currents, ocean flows, and even long-range projectiles travel over a surface that is turning while they move. This creates the illusion of a sideways force, known as the Coriolis effect.

    In the Northern Hemisphere, moving objects appear to bend to the right, while in the Southern Hemisphere they bend to the left. The effect grows stronger over larger distances and faster motions, but becomes almost unnoticeable in small, everyday movements.

    Scientists use this effect to understand the spinning of hurricanes, the paths of trade winds, and the circulation of oceans. It reveals that motion is not always as simple as it seems when the ground beneath us is constantly in motion itself.
