7-year study reveals plastic fragments from all over the globe are rising rapidly in the North Pacific Garbage Patch - IOP Publishing
A study published today in IOP Publishing’s journal Environmental Research Letters reveals that centimetre-sized plastic fragments are increasing much faster than larger floating plastics in the North Pacific Garbage Patch [NPGP], threatening the local ecosystem…

Scientists create new gene drive system that converts insecticide-resistant forms of mutated insect genes back to their natural, native form, and then disappears. In lab experiments all of the offspring were converted to native genes in eight-to-10 generations, which took about six months in flies.

New Gene Drive Reverses Insecticide Resistance in Pests… Then Disappears
UC San Diego geneticists have developed a gene drive-based solution to the widespread problem of insecticide resistance. In an effort to protect valuable crops, the researchers created an “e-Drive” that reverses insecticide resistance and then disappears…
A study has revealed that ChatGPT's responses to politically sensitive topics can vary significantly depending on the language used for the query. For instance, when asked about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, ChatGPT provides different casualty figures and narratives in Arabic compared to Hebrew. Similarly, inquiries about the Kurdish conflict yield varying information based on the input language. These discrepancies arise because ChatGPT's training data includes diverse sources with inherent biases, which are reflected in its outputs. This phenomenon underscores the potential of AI to inadvertently reinforce existing biases and contribute to polarization, especially in contexts involving contentious political issues.
