It was at a charity that helped local people find employment that someone first mentioned the term “food bank” to Wright. She was terrified that, should she seek help at a food bank, social services would take her children away. The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and the Trussell Trust are among those concerned about how food insecurity may be affecting children’s health.

Today many scientists who study aging will tell you that people are still looking at longevity in the wrong way. According to Sinclair, that’s partly because currently available drugs are developed to target what he describes as “symptoms of aging,” which include diseases like cancer and heart disease. “People are skeptical that you can change both a person’s healthspan and their life span,” says Dr. Nir Barzilai, director of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and a medical adviser for Life Biosciences.

Some of it was lost to space (Mars doesn’t have a magnetic field to protect it from solar wind), some of the water reacted with volcanic rocks and then got trapped in minerals, and some of the water is still there today, frozen into the ice caps and in permafrost layers below the ground. Professor, Astronomy, Vanderbilt University, and the author of ‘Life on Mars,’ from which the below is drawn

If we take all the water on a planet, put it on the surface of the planet, and spread it out evenly over 100% of the surface area, we would have what planetary scientists call a ‘global ocean.’ However, if, in addition to the evidence from atmospheric gasses, we use the visual evidence for flowing water on the surface of Mars, which is clear in the form of dried up river valleys and outflow channels that scar the ancient surface of the red planet, we can estimate that Mars once had enough water to generate a global ocean with a depth of 1,500 to 3,000 feet.

Now, a team has used a type of artificial intelligence to confirm the existence of a bizarre new state of matter, one in which potassium atoms exhibit properties of both a solid and a liquid at the same time. The computer models confirmed that between about 20,000 and 40,000 times atmospheric pressure and 400 to 800 Kelvin (260 to 980 degrees Fahrenheit), the potassium entered what’s called a chain-melted state, in which the chains dissolved into liquid while the remaining potassium crystals stayed solid. Now that the chain-melt phase of potassium is confirmed, it joins the known array of other unusual states of matter beyond gas, liquid, and solid.

The promo for the rebrand, rolled out across social media and TV spots, features a medley of Discovery scenes, stars, and bad-ass nature shots, set to the Blue Swede song Hooked on a Feeling. The full version of the campaign promo does contain a couple (literally, a couple) women, but overall the whole thing is a meaty shot of testosterone. Inspired by the Discovery rebrand, a group of incredible female researchers have put together their own catchy promo, and we can’t stop watching.

Last May, an elderly man was admitted to the Brooklyn branch of Mount Sinai Hospital for abdominal surgery. A blood test revealed that he was infected with a newly discovered germ as deadly as it was mysterious. The man at Mount Sinai died after 90 days in the hospital, but C. auris did not.

Here’s what the rover saw on March 26, as the Martian moon Phobos crossed the face of the sun. The image of Phobos was taken with Curiosity’s Mast Camera, with a special solar filter attached (kind of like the solar eclipse glasses you’d use to look at the sun on Earth). The Martian moon Phobos’s orbit is nearly directly over its equator; our moon, on the other hand, is in a tilted orbit, so the Earth, sun, and moon don’t line up as often.

For the new study, the scientists first had cat owners repeatedly say four words that were similar to their cats’ names, until the cats habituated to those words. Next the owners said the actual names, and the researchers looked at whether individual cats (when living among other cats) appeared able to distinguish their monikers. “This new study clearly shows that many cats react to their own names when spoken by their owners,” says biologist John Bradshaw, who studies human-animal interactions at the University of Bristol’s Anthrozoology Institute and was not involved in the new study.

This chamber of the heart receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it out to the rest of the body, using a rather strenuous twisting and unspooling motion, as if the ventricle were a sponge being wrung out before springing back into shape. Exercise, especially aerobic exercise, requires that considerable oxygen be delivered to working muscles, placing high demands on the left ventricle. A 2015 study found, for instance, that competitive rowers, whose sport combines endurance and power, had greater muscle mass in their left ventricles than runners, making their hearts strong but potentially less nimble during the twisting that pumps blood to muscles.

These practices stand in sharp contrast to those of legitimate scientific journals, where editors send papers to experts for review, a process that can take weeks or months, and often ask for extensive revisions. On Wednesday, James DuBois, director of the Center for Clinical Research Ethics at Washington University in St. Louis, forwarded to The Times an email he had just received. “It is learnt that you have published a paper titled ‘The Role of Culture and Acculturation in Researchers’ Perceptions of Rules in Science’ in SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING ETHICS and we are impressed by the subject,” the email said.
