For generations, Indigenous and riverine communities in the Amazon have relied on deep ecological knowledge to live in harmony with the rainforest. But, as climate disasters reshape the woodlands, local expertise is often overlooked in environmental policies and scientific studies. A new research project aims to change that. In 2023 and 2024, the Amazon faced severe droughts. Rivers dried up, cutt

Scientists have long tried to understand the connection between osteoarthritis, our most common joint disease, and cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and high blood pressure. Previously, it was believed that osteoarthritis simply increases the risk of cardiovascular disease due to reduced physical activity due to joint pain and obesity. But new findings suggest that something much deepe
