LOVE this story. I was in Maine this summer and was thrilled to get some honestly pretty good French-style hard cider from a local business that was gathering apples from some of the ancient trees scattered throughout the local area.
Scientific American@sciam.bsky.social · 14h agoApple "detectives" wanted to identify a gnarly old tree growing on a remote plot of land in Maine. What they discovered was the key to a centuries-old apple mystery.
Oh, that and "AI is an absolute disaster in the field of education, just a giant screaming comet descending from the heavens making all educational contexts less efficient and more time and labor intensive for a given amount of learning."
📣 It's been a long time coming but delighted to see that the @nejm.org review from David Hunter and me is out! "Clinical Uses of Common Genetic Variants Associated with Common Diseases" www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.... The next 10 years will be a very exciting time for genomic population health

I have a new piece out in Nature today on the record-breaking 2026/2027 El Niño, what impacts we should expect, and how governments can prepare. The Niño3.4 region is currently running more than 1C hotter than any prior event on record, and we remain months away from the peak www.nature.com/artic...
Updated version of the impacts map that incorporates the latest runs from 13 dynamical models to refine the areas affected by this year's event:
That means approaching pandemic prevention with a mix of evidence-based ecosystem interventions where we can support them, and investment in health systems. We could stop cutting down rainforest tomorrow, and the world's poor would still suffer from spillover as a health justice issue.
What's behind this tidal wave of epidemics? In the largest study ever conducted on emerging infectious diseases, we show that the popular explanation - "our relationship with nature is out of balance" - doesn't hold up. Out now in Nature, after half a decade of work: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Emerging infectious disease outbreak risks are ubiquitous worldwide, and highest in landscapes where people, livestock and fragmented natural ecosystems coexist, but detection and data ...
