The appearance of a “tropical” mosquito-borne illness in southeastern Australia has unsettled researchers. Learn more in this @NewsfromScience feature: scim.ag/56V

The discovery of a Neptune-mass exoplanet orbiting the very low-mass M dwarf star LHS 3154 challenges theoretical models of planet formation, according to a new Science study. 📄: scim.ag/56T #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/56S

Although a causative relationship between #obesity and the #microbiome remains unclear, researchers argue that the microbiome could offer a target for probiotic strains and supplementary treatments based on bacterial metabolites. @ScienceTM scim.ag/56Q

Despite harboring nearly a quarter of all species on Earth, soils and the diverse life within them are almost always overlooked in conservation policies. A #SciencePolicyForum argues that they require explicit consideration and protections. scim.ag/56P

Deaths in prisons across the United States increased by 77% during the first year of the #COVID19 pandemic—3.4 times the increase experienced in the general population—according to a new @ScienceAdvances analysis. scim.ag/56M

"Indigenous Data Sovereignty is a rallying cry for Indigenous communities seeking to regain control over their information while pushing back against data colonialism and its myriad harms," writes @thkukutai in a new #ScienceExpertVoices article. scim.ag/56K

"The #ParisAgreement is not on track to meet its goals. But there’s a sliver of hope. Something can be done about methane, the second-most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas," writes Euan Nisbet in a new #ScienceEditorial. scim.ag/56H #COP28

A new approach to #3Dprinting uses ultrasound waves to create objects from sonically cured inks. The approach in Science enables volumetric 3D printing even in opaque media or at deep penetration depths, including, potentially, inside the body. scim.ag/56E

New research is showing that farm animals may be capable of much more than we think. The findings could offer insights into how domestication shaped their brains and could even change how we house and treat them. Learn more this week in Science: scim.ag/56v

Thermoelectric modules convert waste heat into electricity, but finding materials that go in between the thermoelectric material and the electrodes is challenging. Researchers in a new Science study have developed a screening strategy. Learn more: scim.ag/56t
