Health care in Malawi after USAID’s end, and a rocky exoplanet with an atmosphere

Also on the site, we have a story by Paul Voosen.

He's a staff writer for news, and he talks about what we can learn from a new, to us, ancient Mars meteorite.

In the commentary section, we have an editorial by editor-in-chief Holden Thorp.

He writes about the new onslaught of papers that have been produced or helped along by AI, and the title really sums it up here, "AI in Scientific Publishing: Slower, Worse, and More Expensive." Definitely worth a read.

From the journals, I just want to call out two papers, one in Science Advances by Luo and company.

This is called "The Earliest Amber from the Middle Devonian of China," and basically takes a look at, you know, we've, we've relied on amber for really interesting scientific results because things are preserved there for a very, very long time.

But well, when did amber first show up? So this paper looks into that.

And then from Science, we have a paper by Wang et al.

on tracing the origins of Saint Helena's liberated Africans.

And so this is an ancient DNA study looking at people who were buried on the island of Saint Helena who had been rescued from slave ships And so this is really a part of a broader story about understanding the history of the slave trade and repatriation.

Really fascinating topic.

Okay, back to the show here.
