Show Notes
A decades-old diabetes medication may be about to transform life for millions living with type 1 diabetes, and researchers have finally uncovered exactly how a landmark Alzheimer's drug clears plaques from the brain. Scientists have also released one of the most detailed maps of human aging ever built — spanning nearly seven million cells — pointing to genetic targets that could reshape how we treat aging itself. In the world of AI, a new study reveals that the people best at spotting fake faces aren't who you'd expect, and researchers have unveiled a far more demanding benchmark to test the true limits of machine intelligence. Rounding out the episode: engineered fire tornadoes as an oil spill solution, a 250-year-old crocodile mystery finally solved, and surprising new evidence of cognitive sophistication in reef fish.
