Why do some people lose memory faster with age? A mega-analysis of 13 longitudinal datasets (3,700+ adults, 10,000+ MRIs) shows that memory decline tracks brain atrophy, especially in the hippocampus, and that these links strengthen with age, but not APOE status: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Ask anyone who moved to the UK (EU or non-EU) how many documents, pieces of evidence of “legal right” to reside in the UK, and (unnecessary) personal and biometric information they had to continuously provide to the UK government over the years. Proving identity clearly isn’t the goal here.
The "Brit Card". Could they make it any more dogwhistly?
Also, fundamentally ignores that undocumented workers already, drum roll please, lack documents. Adding another one makes little difference, but does make it harder for people to escape exploitation.
