Forests on the west slope of Oregon's Cascade Range experienced fire much more often between 1500 and 1895 than had been previously thought.

Low-carbohydrate diets emphasizing healthy, plant-based sources associated with slower long-term weight gain

Science Daily - 29/12/2023
Low-carbohydrate diets comprised mostly of plant-based proteins and fats with healthy carbohydrates such as whole grains were associated with slower long-term weight gain than low-carbohydrate diets comprised mostly of animal proteins and fats with unhealthy carbohydrates like refined starches, according to a new study.

Study identifies 'visual system' protein for circadian rhythm stability

Science Daily - 29/12/2023
Scientists have identified a protein in the visual system of mice that appears to be key for stabilizing the body's circadian rhythms by buffering the brain's response to light. The finding advances efforts to better treat sleep disorders and jet lag, the study authors say.
