27-Aug-2025 Vegetarians vs meat-eaters: How do their basic human values differ? SWPS University Values such as Benevolence, Security, and Conformity are less important for vegetarians than they are for those who eat meat; instead, vegetarians value Stimulation, Power, and Achievement more than non-vegetarians do. This is not entirely consistent with the common perception of vegetarians, according to a study by a researcher from SWPS University, conducted among adult Poles and Americans. The paper on this topic was published in the prestigious journal PLOS One. Journal PLOS One Funder Polish National Science Centre

26-Aug-2025 Turning trash into treasure: How food waste can save the planet Biochar Editorial Office, Shenyang Agricultural University Hey, eco-heroes! Imagine turning your leftover food into a powerful tool to fight climate change. Sounds too good to be true? Well, a new study is showing us how food waste can be transformed into biochar—a sustainable solution that could change the game for Australia and beyond! Journal Carbon Research
26-Aug-2025 Too old for a new heart? Stanford Cardiovascular Institute Across a spectrum of diseases from cancer to heart failure, older patients face systemic bias in their treatment. Individuals in the 70s, 80s, and 90s are less likely to be offered the same options for care as younger patients. In the case of heart failure, patients of advanced age are often considered to be poor candidates for heart transplants. The rationale for this assessment is that younger recipients are considered more likely to have better post-transplant outcomes. Journal The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation
