Scientists may have a solution to the problem of fake news
Quote:Fake news is a problem. Once fake news is widely shared and reaches a mass audience, it can have all sorts of downstream effects on attitudes and behavior. To solve this problem, a team of researchers propose what they call “technocognition.” The idea is to use what is already known about psychology to design technology that breaks through the mental barriers that make people deny threats like climate change. Could this be a solution to fake news?

Why bones might hold the secret to weight loss
Quote:In a groundbreaking study, scientists uncovered evidence that our bodies weigh themselves. Apparently, the cells in our bones can detect whether a particular section of bone is under increased mechanical stress caused by weight, signaling the need for new bone formation and remodeling. This is the first time researchers have discovered that we have an internal system that regulates fat mass, and while there’s still much more research to be done, this could lead to new treatments of obesity.
