Germany Debates Using DNA to Determine Suspect's Geographic Origin
Germany is debating using DNA to determine the biogeographic origin of crime suspects, adding to existing analysis of eye, skin, and hair color; this is technically feasible, using even small DNA samples, to narrow down suspect pools by identifying continental regions of origin (e.g., Europe, Asia, ...

HSV-1 Infection Linked to Increased Alzheimer's Risk, Antivirals Show Potential Protective Effect
A study of 344,628 individuals over 50, diagnosed with Alzheimer's between 2006 and 2021, revealed an 80% increased Alzheimer's risk for those with HSV-1, but antiviral use reduced this risk by 17%.

Cultural Norms Shape Sleep Duration: A Cross-National Study
A PNAS study of 5,000 individuals across 20 countries revealed that average sleep duration varies significantly based on cultural norms, with no evidence linking shorter sleep to poorer health outcomes, although individual sleep outside their cultural norm was linked to poorer health.

1.5C Warming Target Will Not Stop Devastating Sea Level Rise
Scientists warn that even limiting global warming to 1.5C will still cause several meters of sea-level rise over centuries due to continued melting of Greenland and Antarctica, threatening coastal communities and necessitating adaptation strategies. Current trajectories show a far worse outcome.
