Dolphin Whistle Study Wins $100,000 Prize
Researchers from the Sarasota Dolphin Research Program won a $100,000 prize for identifying at least 20 types of dolphin whistles, two of which triggered avoidance or a range of responses when played back to dolphins, suggesting potential alarm and unexpected encounter signals.

Oldest Reptile Tracks Rewrite Amniote Evolutionary History
354-358 million-year-old reptile tracks discovered in Australia represent the oldest evidence of amniotes, predating previous fossils by 40 million years and suggesting their origin on Gondwana, rewriting the history of amniote evolution and prompting further research.

Widespread Arsenic Contamination Found in US Rice Samples
A new report reveals arsenic in 100% of US rice samples tested, with 25% exceeding federal limits for infant rice cereal; the study, by Healthy Babies, Bright Futures, also found cadmium, lead, and mercury in samples from 105 brands across 20 metro areas, prompting calls for stricter regulations.

Long Covid Linked to Specific Brain Changes, Impairing Language and Quality of Life
A study of 17 long Covid patients found significantly lower levels of the neuroprotective protein NGF and higher levels of the inflammatory protein IL-10, correlating with impaired language processing and reduced quality of life; this suggests direct brain damage contributes to long Covid symptoms.
