570-million-year-old fossils found in Canada shed light on complex life's origins

Scientists have discovered a rich set of fossils nearly 570 million years old in the Mackenzie Mountains of northwestern Canada. The find could reshape the current understanding of how complex, multicellular life first emerged on Earth. It is one of the oldest and richest collections of such palaeontological evidence discovered in North America.

Should palaeontological research receive more public funding?

Hotel hands out canned water six-packs instead of fixing tap water outage

A Polish reader staying at an upmarket hotel during her holiday experienced a tap water outage. Instead of promptly repairing the fault, the hotel's solution was to hand guests six-packs of canned water. The incident shows that even higher-category hotels can fail on basic amenities, making guest complaints entirely justified.

Are six-packs of canned water an acceptable hotel response to a water outage?

Autopsy points to murder of Polish activist Monika Silva Koniuszek in Ecuador

One month after the death of Polish anti-corruption activist Monika Silva Koniuszek in Ecuador, autopsy results indicate she was murdered rather than having died by suicide as initially suggested by local authorities. The case is being handled as a classified preliminary investigation that may last up to two years. Koniuszek was known for her anti-corruption activism in Ecuador.

Should Poland pressure Ecuador to speed up the Koniuszek murder investigation?

Ozempic and Wegovy dosing mistakes behind thousands of poison control calls

Calls to US poison control centres involving semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy) soared after the drug was approved for weight management. Researchers found that the increase was driven by accidental dosing mistakes rather than intentional misuse. Basic patient education about the weekly dosing schedule and gradual dose escalation could prevent most of these avoidable incidents.

Should Ozempic manufacturers be held responsible for patients' dosing mistakes?

Infrasound and seismographs tracked an Alaskan fireball no camera caught

A fireball over Alaska went unrecorded by cameras, but scientists reconstructed its final seconds using infrasound waves and earthquake sensors. The findings point to a new method of detecting space debris and incoming objects even when visual observation fails. Researchers say the approach could improve early warning systems for threats falling from space.

Should infrasound systems replace cameras for tracking space threats?
