Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite commonly found in cats, might be a key driver behind the global rise in male infertility. Recent research suggests it can directly destroy sperm cells—while most infected people feel nothing for decades. No effective cure exists, and men are rarely screened.

Ethics and technology must go hand in hand. Nuclear energy and #AI offer hope, but without ethical frameworks, we face long-term #risks: nuclear #waste, energy-hungry AI, and societal manipulation. Let’s ensure innovation serves humanity, not just profit.

Malaria control just took a leap:
Nature reports a new class - endichin-like quinolones (ELQs), that turns infected mosquitoes into harmless ones by neutralizing Plasmodium after brief contact with treated nets.
Not just insecticide. A real paradigm shift.
