Is it possible to save coral reefs before it's too late?

Coral reefs are vital, but are threatened by unsustainable fishing, pollution, climate change & ocean acidification. They're the most endangered ecosystem and are at risk of disappearing globally.
— IPBES #NexusAssessment

Let's protect them!

Underwater photograph of extensive white coral bleaching, showing large formations of bleached coral appearing bright white against a dark reddish-purple reef base. The bleached coral has a distinctive branching structure typical of Acropora species. The image is taken in clear blue water, and some small fish can be seen swimming in the background. The stark white color of the coral indicates severe bleaching, where the coral has expelled its symbiotic algae in response to environmental stress. The contrast between the bleached coral and the healthy darker reef substrate below clearly illustrates the impact of coral bleaching events.

The effects of antidepressants on cardiometabolic and other physiological parameters: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

We found strong evidence that antidepressants differ markedly in their physiological effects, particularly for cardiometabolic parameters. Treatment guidelines should be updated to reflect differences...

Julian wasn’t entirely onboard with this middle aged attempt to spice up their sex life, but he wanted Bob to feel special.

Are you sure that’s not from one of the later chapters of the “Joy of Sex”?

If I had to live in the US at the moment, I’d consider opiate induced brain damage a blessing.

@aditharun_ not on #Bluesky, on the myth of lower testosterone levels in men over the past decade. Like the 'spinach contains lots of iron' myth (based on an error in a 19th-century study that incorrectly placed a decimal point, attributing ten times more iron to spinach than it actually contains).

🚀 Excited to share a major update to our “Mixture of Cognitive Reasoners” (MiCRo) paper!

We ask: What benefits can we unlock by designing language models whose inner structure mirrors the brain’s functional specialization?

At the University of Edinburgh, researchers reviewed how the blood–brain barrier protects the brain from toxins but weakens with age, inflammation, and disease.

Damage to this barrier can trigger Alzheimer’s, stroke, and long COVID brain symptoms.
