The #research could “potentially open new doors for future deep space exploration” because it could mitigate the expensive costs needed to bring essential resources such as water to the Moon.

#Measles cases are surging in #Europe and the #US

30 years after Wakefield’s discredited study linking #MMR #vaccine & autism, we badly need an injection of rationality

The #UK is well on its way to having a new dominant variant, fuelling concerns that a fresh #Covid wave could be just around the corner.
