Key ocean current is slowing at locations around the Atlantic

Visualisation showing the western boundary currents that form part of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio Buoy measurements show the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, which moderates Europe’s climate, is weakening at four different latitudes, the strongest evidence so far that this system of ocean currents is slowing and could be heading toward…

Genetics may help explain why results from weight-loss jabs vary, say scientists | Weight-loss drugs

Scientists have discovered how genetics may help explain why weight-loss jabs work better for some people than others. Variations in two genes involved in gut hormone pathways, which regulate appetite and digestion, may help account for different weight-loss results or side-effects when taking glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) medicines. The findings, published in the journal Nature…
