news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-19 09:53:13

In 2006, a landmark study in Nature identified a possible cause of Alzheimer’s disease.

But in the summer of 2022, the editors of Nature issued a chilling disclaimer. There was concern regarding the images that accompanied the article. An investigation was underway, and readers were urged to “use caution” when relying on the results. A whistleblower had come forward and sa

Every year since we got married, my husband and I have celebrated our anniversary with a carrot cake.

Within the same layers of icy soil, researchers found woolly mammoth bones with evidence of human processing.
