Humans Are Evolving Before Our Eyes on The Tibetan Plateau
Humans are not yet done cooking. We’re continuing to evolve and adjust to the world around us, the records of our adaptations written in our bodies.
We know that there are some environments that can make us unwell. Mountain climbers often succumb to altitude sickness – the body’s reaction to a significant drop in atmospheric pressure, which means less oxygen is taken in with each breath.
And yet, in high altitudes on the Tibetan Plateau, where oxygen levels in the air people breathe are notably lower than lower altitudes, human communities thrive.

Robocallers posing as FCC fraud prevention team call FCC staff
The FCC has proposed a $4,492,500 fine against VoIP service provider Telnyx for allegedly allowing customers to make robocalls posing as fictitious FCC “Fraud Prevention Team,” by failing to comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) rules. However, Telnyx says the FCC is mistaken and denies the accusations.
The individuals behind these calls registered Telnyx accounts using the “Christian Mitchell” and “Henry Walker” names with the same address in Toronto, Canada, but IP addresses from Scotland and England. They are known as the “MarioCop” accounts because they both used email addresses on the same mariocop123.com domain.
Between February 6 and February 7, 2024, they made 1,797 imposter calls before Telnyx terminated their accounts. Ironically, their calls also reached over a dozen FCC staff and family members on their personal and work phone numbers one year ago.
Comet G3 (ATLAS) looks breathtaking above future home of world’s largest telescope (photos)
Veteran comet hunters have called G3 (ATLAS) the “Great Comet of 2025” due to its daytime visibility and spectacular nighttime sightings. In these gorgeous photos from the Paranal Observatory, it’s not hard to see why.
Photographer Yuri Beletsky caught comet G3 (ATLAS) looking almost like a watercolor painting, ESO wrote in a statement accompanying Beletsky’s photo. The scene was captured on Jan. 19 beside one of the auxiliary telescopes that contribute to ESO’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer, a system of four telescopes working in unison.

Tiny QR Codes Reveal the Secret Journeys of Honeybees
Scientists are using tiny QR codes to track honey bee movements and gather groundbreaking insights into their foraging habits.
By monitoring thousands of bees, researchers have discovered that while most trips outside the hive are brief, some bees venture out for hours. This technology could revolutionize organic beekeeping by refining foraging range estimates and improving certification standards.
