Dietary Changes: An Early Warning Sign for Dementia
Significant dietary shifts, like a lifelong vegetarian suddenly desiring meat, may be early dementia indicators, particularly frontotemporal dementia (FTD) affecting those under 65; this impacts families and increases the already substantial £42 billion annual UK dementia cost.

Colossal Solar Hole Unleashes Geomagnetic Storm Toward Earth
A massive coronal hole, over 1 million kilometers wide, has opened in the Sun's atmosphere, releasing a solar wind stream toward Earth, potentially causing geomagnetic storms from May 20-22 and a possible stronger storm on May 23; the cause is the current solar maximum.
