Effects of education on adult mortality: a global systematic review and meta-analysis
To our knowledge, this is the first systematic review and meta-analysis to quantify the importance of years of schooling in reducing adult mortality, the benefits of which extend into older age and are substantial across sexes and economic contexts. This work provides compelling evidence of the importance of education in improving life expectancy and supports calls for increased investment in education as a crucial pathway for reducing global inequities in mortality.

Green solutions are important for human health and survival. Unsustainable use of water and unnecessary use of pesticides are public health threats.
America's first large-scale indoor vertical farm for strawberries is set to open in Richmond, Virginia. Using 30-foot towers, it produces over 4 million pounds of strawberries annually reduces water use by 90%, land use by 97%, and no pesticides.
