Circadian disruption by night light linked to multiple cardiovascular outcomes
Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute researchers, along with colleagues in the UK and U.S., have linked brighter night-time light exposure to elevated risks of five major cardiovascular diseases.
Circadian rhythms govern fluctuations in blood pressure, heart rate, platelet activation, hormone secretion, and glucose metabolism. Long-term disruption of those rhythms in animal and human studies have produced myocardial fibrosis, hypertension, inflammation, and impaired autonomic balance. Previous research efforts relied largely on satellite-derived estimates or small cohorts using bedroom or wrist light sensors, leaving personal exposure patterns uncharted at population scale.
In the study, “Personal night light exposure predicts incidence of cardiovascular diseases in 88,000 individuals,” posted on medRxiv, researchers conducted a prospective cohort analysis to assess whether day and night light exposure predicts incidence of cardiovascular diseases and whether relationships vary with genetic susceptibility, sex, and age.
The Anatomy of Collective Mind Control
Unlock All The Power of Your Mind:
https://thehiddenlibrary.org/
Behind the illusion of free choice and authentic thought lies an invisible architecture shaping the collective mind. In this video, we dive deep into the anatomy of large-scale mind control. This is a form of psychic engineering that goes far beyond propaganda and mainstream media. We expose the hidden mechanisms that domesticate consciousness and manufacture consensus, from symbolic archetypes to technologies of mass emotional manipulation.
You are alive, but not awake. You walk, speak, decide, yet everything in you is mechanical. An automaton moved by impulses you do not understand. The collective mind is the machine and you are just a part of it. This video is not entertainment. It is a call to inner work. If there is still a living spark within you, it will feel this. And maybe, for the first time, you will realize you have never been free.
Harmful algae blooms have secret to success over other algaes—manipulating its environment
An alga that threatens freshwater ecosystems and is toxic to vertebrates has a sneaky way of ensuring its success: It suppresses the growth of algal competitors by releasing chemicals that deprive them of a vital vitamin.
The finding was reported in a new study from Cornell University, describing how the cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa manipulates its environment to give itself advantages to take over the water column, leading to harmful algal blooms and mats in lakes during hot summers.
“Microcystis seems to be able to dominate more and more in the changing climate,” said Beth Ahner, professor in the Department of Biological and Environmental Engineering and corresponding author of the paper.
Kira (Short Film on Human Cloning)
My new AI-assisted short film is here. Kira explores human cloning and the search for identity in today’s world.
It took nearly 600 prompts, 12 days (during my free time), and a $500 budget to bring this project to life. The entire film was created by one person using a range of AI tools, all listed at the end.
Enjoy.

Scientists Discover Way to Create 3D Structures with DNA
A research team is working on ways to produce 3D structures using DNA.
DNA is the foundation of life, as DNA molecules carry digital information that is used by cells to reproduce and develop all the functional biology required for life.
DNA can do this because it contains four molecules that can be easily bonded into complex structures. The molecules, adenine (A), cytosine ©, guanine (G), and thymine (T), can be arranged in “ladder” forms that are self-assembling.
