Mashup Score: 0John Launer: Nuclear war—it’s time to face up to the risks - 10 month(s) ago
As a child I lived through the Cuban missile crisis, when the United States and the Soviet Union came within days or possibly hours of all-out global nuclear war. Since then, I’ve expected that nuclear weapons would be used one day but assumed that this might be between two smaller nuclear powers, possibly in Asia. Since Russia invaded Ukraine, however, a nuclear war starting in Europe seems more…

The two major nuclear powers possess around 13 000 weapons between them. Denial, avoidance, or fatalism won’t make these terrifying risks go away; political action may. It is the world’s most urgent priority, says @JohnLauner https://t.co/gUhdbF0bto https://t.co/0fZyU4hYOj

Mashup Score: 1Sixty seconds on . . . genetic studies - 10 month(s) ago
I sense some scepticism. But maybe that’s no surprise given that, ever since the human genome project was completed in the early 2000s, not a week goes by without another revelation about our genes—often from large, population level datasets such as UK Biobank or genome-wide association studies. That’s the question. A new study based on 30 000 people’s data from UK Biobank and published in…
