**Peak glacier extinction in the mid-twenty-first century**
"_Here, using three global glacier models, we project a sharp rise in the number of glaciers disappearing worldwide, peaking between 2041 and 2055 with up to ~4,000 glaciers vanishing annually._"

🇮🇹 **Archaeogenetics reconstructs demography and extreme parental consanguinity in a Bronze Age community from Southern Italy**
"_The community shows closer genetic affinity to Early Bronze Age Sicilians than to contemporaneous populations from the Italian peninsula. However, unlike contemporary Sicilian individuals, they lack eastern genetic influences, suggesting distinct ancestral trajectories and interaction networks among Bronze Age populations._"

🔬 **Ultra-processed foods are ‘pushing aside’ all other food groups to dominate global diets**
"_Professor Carlos Monteiro, of the University of São Paulo, highlighted the dangers UPFs represent to global health, and recommends that they be regulated in a similar way to tobacco with warning labels and advertising restrictions._"
