Minnesota’s new mostly digital licensing system has prompted the DNR to urge deer hunters to buy licenses early, with harvests also requiring electronic validation instead of physical tags. Pennsylvania’s archery season now includes Sunday hunting and updated rules for disposing of potentially disease-carrying deer parts, while proposals to let Pennsylvania hunters choose the firearms opener and restore baiting in Michigan’s Lower Peninsula face uncertain prospects.

Wave-Shaped Designs Cut Building Wind Pressures Up to 60%
Science
— 1d
Florida State University researchers found that wave-shaped walls and roofs on low-rise buildings can reduce peak hurricane-wind pressures near vulnerable corners by 40% to 60% in wind-tunnel tests. The design could offer engineers a way to improve wind resilience through building shape, alongside conventional measures such as stronger materials and rounded corners.

Oxford researchers found that microglia can selectively remove toxic alpha-synuclein clumps from dopamine-producing neurons, while early phase 1 findings for an LRRK2-degrading drug showed changes in Parkinson’s-related measures. Separately, a new University of Arizona collaboration will investigate biological differences in Parkinson’s disease between women and men to help address gaps in understanding the disease’s symptoms and progression.

Genomics Programs Plan Broader Screening Across Healthcare
Health

Researchers are testing whether genome sequencing can broaden screening for treatable hereditary conditions: Yale is piloting testing through primary care, while an Oregon study aims to assess screening newborns for hundreds of conditions. A national survey of French perinatal health professionals found strongest support for conditions with effective early interventions, while highlighting that sequencing’s ability to reveal many kinds of findings complicates traditional screening criteria.

Houston-Area Fertility Falls Across Five Counties
Health

Birth rates have fallen across Houston’s five largest counties over the past two decades, with Brazoria and Harris seeing especially steep declines as childbearing shifts to older ages. Researchers say affordability and delayed parenthood are contributing factors; fewer births could eventually affect schools and the workforce, though migration continues to fuel regional population growth.

Study finds Ontario gambling ER visits nearly doubled after legalization

A study found emergency visits for gambling disorders in Ontario rose steadily after online gambling and single-event sports betting expanded, reaching nearly twice the expected level by mid-2025, with the sharpest increases among males ages 10 to 44. Researchers say the visits likely capture only the most severe cases; more than 70% involved another mental health or substance-use issue, and nearly one-third resulted in hospitalization.

Scientists investigate rising whale calf deaths in Argentina
x/valdes-peninsula
— 5d
An unusually high number of southern right whale calves have died along Argentina’s Patagonian coast, prompting an investigation by researchers who say the event is unprecedented in 23 years of monitoring. The leading hypothesis is that kelp gull wounds expose calves to marine bacteria, but scientists are testing samples and have not confirmed the cause.

Study Links Appendectomy to 58% Lower Colorectal Cancer Risk

A study of more than 30,000 patients found appendectomy for acute appendicitis was associated with a 58% lower relative risk of later colorectal cancer than antibiotic treatment alone. Researchers cautioned that the findings do not prove surgery prevents cancer and should not displace antibiotics as an option; further research is needed.

Former Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson, 46, says serious memory lapses and episodes of disorientation while driving have led him to fear he has CTE, which he has suspected for years; the disease can currently be confirmed only after death, so his symptoms do not establish a diagnosis. Researchers are working on ways to detect CTE in living people, including PET scans, which could help identify those at risk and guide treatment.

Researchers are finding new ways to understand and treat heart disease, from using fetal blood-flow data to improve detection of aortic narrowing to imaging coronary artery disease and studying particles that may help repair heart tissue after a heart attack. A newly described heart structure also underscores that careful anatomical research can still reveal features overlooked for generations.

A fitness coach recommends adequate protein, regular strength training, quality sleep and staying active to help limit age-related muscle loss, which can be compounded by sedentary habits and rapid weight loss on GLP-1 drugs. Separately, researchers found that age-related declines in mitochondrial cardiolipin may contribute to muscle changes, and restoring it partly reversed muscle wasting in mice—an early finding that could point to future treatments.
