Long before COVID-19, academics squabbled about the methodology, clinical sample sizes, and data manipulation of published scientific papers—especially if they did not agree with conclusions or were educational rivals. Since the medical journal publication process—especially peer review are so slow—the latter taking longer than a year at some journals—many researchers have turned to preprint servers….
Scientists Take Australian Bureau of Meteorology to Court Over Reliability of Temperature Records
For years, Australian biologist Jennifer Marohasy has questioned the reliability of the Bureau of Meteorology’s (BoM) historical temperature records, which shows a significant rise in Australia over the past decades. The BoM attributed the record-breaking hot temperatures to human-caused global warming, but Marohasy asked whether at least some of the warming was natural and whether the other…
Breakthrough Research Identifies Rare Tumor Cell ‘Spies’
Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a novel technology for simultaneous genomic DNA and RNA sequencing in single cells from frozen and fresh tissues and identified rare brain tumor cell “spies” disguised as normal cells using this method. This breakthrough advances cancer research for some of the most…

Commentary In a recent proposal, the New South Wales government will enable drivers to buy $80 (US$55) worth of carbon credits when they pay for their car registration to offset their emissions. It is not a surprising initiative from the treasurer and energy minister, Matt Kean. He is one of many Australian leaders to spruik…
Researcher Predicted Giant Earthquakes in Turkey, Syria Earthquake 3 Days Earlier
A Dutch researcher accurately predicted that there would be a 7.5 magnitude earthquake in the region around South-Central Turkey, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon just days before it happened. Frank Hoogerbeets works at the Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS), a Netherlands-based institute that monitors geometry between celestial bodies related to seismic activity. On Feb. 3, Hoogerbeets wrote on Twitter:…
Childhood Obesity: Are Drugs and Surgery the Answer?
In January, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issued its new clinical practice guideline for the evaluation and treatment of overweight and obese children and adolescents.

Chewing Well Associated With Healthier Brain and Less Pain
Researchers have found that being able to chew food well lowers anxiety, improves memory, and reduces pain, providing a compelling case for early treatment of poor oral health, removal of misaligned teeth, or simply chewing more gum. Mice with crossbites showed significantly more noticeable and persistent anxiety-like behaviours, and “early removal of crossbites results in…

A recently developed material that can increase the durability of the positive electrodes within solid-state batteries, an alternative battery to lithium-ion, can potentially boost electric vehicles (EVs). While some car companies predict that plug-in hybrids will maintain their popularity in the short term, electric cars are considered the world’s leading candidate in the switch from conventional gasoline-run…
