💊 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.

🚬 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.

📵 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.

I still remember the first time someone told me Saturn could float. I laughed… until I learned the science behind it. That moment changed more than my understanding of planets—it changed the way I think about first impressions. Have you ever heard a fact that stayed with you for years? #ScienceFacts #Curiosity
