Turns out, Ozempic isn’t just for type 2 diabetes anymore. A new study shows that semaglutide—the key ingredient in the blockbuster drug—also helps people with type 1 diabetes manage their blood sugar levels. This could be a game-changer for a condition that’s historically been much harder to treat with medications.

Editor’s Note: For decades, type 1 diabetes patients have relied almost entirely on insulin therapy, with few other options. If semaglutide gets the green light for this group, it could mean better control, fewer complications, and maybe even lighter insulin dependence. That’s a big deal for millions of people.

Researchers have uncovered evidence that Neanderthals in Germany were running what amounts to a prehistoric "fat factory" 125,000 years ago. By analyzing ancient animal bones, they found signs that our extinct cousins were systematically extracting grease—likely for food—showing they had more advanced survival strategies than we often give them credit for.

Editor’s Note: This discovery flips the script on the old stereotype of Neanderthals as simple brutes. If they were processing bones for fat, it suggests foresight, planning, and maybe even early forms of resource management. It’s another piece of the puzzle showing just how clever and adaptable they really were—and makes you wonder what else we’ve underestimated about them.

Scientists are calling for BMI—that old-school height-to-weight ratio we’ve all been measured by—to finally get the boot. Turns out, it’s pretty bad at predicting health risks compared to body fat percentage, which a new study links more accurately to obesity-related diseases and even early death. Basically, we might be ditching those outdated BMI charts for something that actually reflects how healthy someone is.

Archaeologists digging near Hadrian's Wall in England stumbled upon something unexpected—eight ancient Roman shoes, all unusually large. The leather footwear, found at the Magna fort site, suggests the wearers were towering figures by Roman standards. While the average Roman shoe was modest in size, these XXL relics hint at soldiers or civilians with notably big feet, sparking curiosity about who wore them and why.

Astronomers have detected a mysterious object, temporarily named A11pl3Z, speeding through our solar system on a trajectory that suggests it came from outside our cosmic neighborhood. Its unusual speed and straight path make it a strong candidate for an interstellar visitor—only the third ever observed. Scientists are racing to confirm its origins, which could offer fresh clues about how objects travel between star systems.

Scientists have observed wild orcas seemingly "gifting" food to humans by dropping prey like fish or seals near boats. It’s unclear whether the whales are being friendly, curious, or even trying to train us—but the behavior suggests a surprising level of social intelligence and interaction between species.
