All Types of Coffee are Protective against Chronic Liver Disease, Study Shows
Scientists found that drinking coffee that is caffeinated (ground or instant) or decaffeinate was associated with a reduced risk of developing and dying from chronic liver disease compared to not drinking coffee, with the benefit peaking at three to four…

A Scientist Found Deleted Coronavirus Sequences. Here's What That Means For SARS-CoV-2
A researcher in Seattle has dug up deleted files from Google Cloud that reveal 13 partial genetic sequences for some of the earliest cases of COVID-19 in Wuhan, said Carl Zimmer.
The sequences don't tip the scales toward or away from one of the many theories about how SARS-CoV-2 came to be – they do not suggest the virus leaked from a high-security lab in Wuhan, nor do they suggest a natural spillover event.
But they do firm up the idea that the novel coronavirus was circulating earlier than the first major outbreak at a seafood market.

Earth's Atmosphere Could Be a Truly Rare Thing, Thanks to One Chemical Process
Life currently has a sample size of just one. Without an alien or two to expand the boundaries of biology, Earth's evolutionary history sets the limits on whether we can expect other planets to spawn complex critters like, well, us.
