Mount Spurr, which scientists say is likely to erupt in the coming weeks or months, is about 80 miles west of Anchorage. But ash clouds could reach the state's biggest city.
Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, Published online: 11 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s43017-025-00667-w Global sea level rose 0.59cm in 2024 relative to 2023, reaching a total increase of 10.5cm over the 31-year satellite record of sea level. Regionally, over 40% of the ocean reached its highest annual sea level value in 2024.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has blamed the addition of fluoride a common, naturally occurring mineral for a host of health issues. The CDC says the policy has reduced cavities by some 25%.
Consumption of holy water from Ethiopia has recently led to several cases of cholera in Germany and the United Kingdom (UK) with a multidrug-resistant Vibrio cholerae strain, according to a study published in Eurosurveillance.
Federal funding cuts, though temporarily blocked by a judge, have upended vaccination outreach across the country, including in Arizona, Minnesota, Nevada, Texas, and Washington state.
A review by Oxford researchers explores how psychedelics like psilocybin and LSD may help disrupt compulsive eating behaviors in subsets of obese individuals. The paper outlines proposed neurobiological, epigenetic, and gut-brain mechanisms while emphasizing the need for human trials.

Eating disorders are mental health conditions characterised by unhealthy eating patterns that can have severe physical and emotional consequences, ranging from excessive eating to restrictive eating habits
A new study finds that regular exercise can help colon cancer survivors live longer lives after diagnosis, and in some cases, even longer than people who didn't have cancer.
A study analysing the five-year experience (2019-2023) of the Heart Attack Management Programme has found that it has demonstrated that WhatsApp groups are a cost-effective way of networking larger and smaller hospitals in a hub-and-spoke model
A Martinez visit's a slow strength gym and goes toe to toe with a senior citizen weightlifter, to see if this kind of exercise is all it's cracked up to be.
Perspective article proposes that major fat gains arise from short-term lifestyle disruptions rather than gradual daily surpluses. The authors call for public health strategies to focus on preventing episodic weight spikes during high-risk life events.
Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, Published online: 11 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s43017-025-00658-x Global CO2 emissions in 2024 increased 0.9% on the previous year, totalling 36.3 Gt CO2. These ongoing emissions further deplete remaining carbon budgets, with some estimates suggesting the 1.5 C budget will be surpassed within the next 5 years and may have been already.
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of genome regions containing thousands of genetic variants associated with asthma, but it's still not clear which variants have an actual causal link to the disease.
A randomized controlled trial in 88 healthy adults found that probiotics reduced negative mood when assessed using daily self-reports, though traditional questionnaires failed to detect significant changes. These findings suggest that daily mood tracking may offer a more sensitive way to capture subtle emotional effects of probiotics in non-clinical populations.
Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, Published online: 11 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s43017-025-00656-z 2024 witnessed record-high global vegetation greenness, far outpacing the previous high set in 2020. A total of 67.7% of vegetated land surfaces experienced greening, notably in Eurasian and tropical grasslands, and global croplands.
A week into the reorganization of the Department of Health and Human Services announced by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the scope of the staff cuts and program cutbacks is starting to become clear.
Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, Published online: 11 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s43017-025-00662-1 Sea ice extent remained anomalously low in 2024. Annual mean Antarctic and Arctic sea ice extent was 10.38 million km2 and 10.42 million km2, respectively, the 2nd and 7th lowest of the satellite record.
A team has revealed new insights into the motion of massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a small galaxy neighboring the Milky Way. Their findings suggest that the gravitational pull of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), the SMC's larger companion, may be tearing the smaller one apart. This discovery reveals a new pattern in the motion of these stars that could transform our understanding of galaxy evolution and interactions.
This study identifies food additive mixtures associated with higher type 2 diabetes risk, urging a reevaluation of safety assessments for combined additives.
A seminal study has uncovered a new genetic cause of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). The discovery offers both closure and hope to potentially thousands of families worldwide who have long been searching for answers. The study reveals that mutations in a small, previously overlooked non-coding gene called RNU2-2 are responsible for relatively common NDD.
Bioinformaticians have established that the genes in bacterial genomes are arranged in a meaningful order. They describe that the genes are arranged by function: If they become increasingly important at faster growth, they are located near the origin of DNA replication. Accordingly, their position influences how their activity changes with the growth rate.
How should aggrieved social workers respond when they believe that a colleague has behaved unprofessionally, rudely, or incompetently? The NASW Code of Ethics suggests that we should treat our colleagues with respect.
Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, Published online: 11 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s43017-025-00654-1 2024 global mean lake surface water temperature (LSWT) was 0.3 C greater than the 20012023 average, the fourth highest on record. Particularly strong positive and record-breaking LSWT anomalies occurred throughout Canada and north-eastern Europe, in some cases exceeding 2C.
