In a first, scientists map the genetic diversity of microbes residing in the human gut and mouth

“The findings thus far: There may be more genes in the collective human microbiome than stars in the observable universe, and at least half of these genes appear to be unique to each individual—a diversity far exceeding the researchers’ expectations.”

Declines in mental health associated with air pollution and temperature variability in China | Nature Communications

Opinion: I’ve always said that I’d rathwr do things to improve our environment and be wrong about climate change than to do the opposite. The potential risks are great but also the potential benefits to cleaning up our act could also be great. Here we have a paper showing causality between mental health decline and pollution levels.
