@carnildo Thanks for the fact check! We've updated our post to reflect the comparison was only for "recent decades" and doesn't go back to 1900.
Hurricane Helene by the numbers: Catastrophic destruction covers 400 miles.
From @abc: Nearly 160 people died with many still missing. Only Hurricane Katrina caused more deaths in the U.S.
And @nbcnews has a smart piece: The science behind how a Florida hurricane ravaged North Carolina. https://flip.it/yfsEsv

The science behind how a Florida hurricane ravaged North Carolina.
From @nbcnews: "Climate change is making hurricanes stronger and wetter. Mountains can lead storms to dump more rain. The combination can be destructive."

Ozempic is so popular people are trying to "microdose" it.
From @USAToday: "Though an off-label use, microdosing, or taking these drugs at a dose smaller than the standard amount, can have serious health benefits, according to experts − when done under the care and guidance of a doctor."
Mysteries of the universe revealed? Hardly. But CERN still fascinates, discovers on its 70th anniversary.
From @AssociatedPress: "Over the last seven decades, CERN, the sprawling research center on the Swiss-French border at Geneva, has become a household name in Europe, the West and beyond, but its complex inner workings remain a puzzle to many people. Here’s a look at CERN and how its discoveries have changed the world and our view of the universe — and could change them more in coming years."
"The 'science of reading' is a body of knowledge referring to how students learn to sound out words, learn vocabulary, and read increasingly sophisticated texts. More teachers are being encouraged to use evidence-based practices aligned to this research, and and in some cases, are required to use or discard certain teaching approaches."
But Education Week reports that teachers and experts continue to debate the approach: https://flip.it/oMyAvf
Chemists discovered the first new chemical bond in more than a decade.
@newscientist reports: "Though it was first predicted in the 1930s, chemists have just now managed to create a covalent bond that only uses one electron."

Artificial intelligence helps uncover hundreds of unknown ancient symbols hidden in Peru’s Nazca Desert.
From CNN: "The carvings include birds, plants, spiders, humanlike figures with headdresses, decapitated heads and an orca wielding a knife."
Here's the original study from PNAS: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2407652121

Stuck NASA astronauts welcome SpaceX capsule that’ll bring them home next year.
AP reports: "SpaceX launched the rescue mission on Saturday with a downsized crew of two astronauts and two empty seats reserved for Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who will return next year. The Dragon capsule docked in darkness as the two craft soared 265 miles (426 kilometers) above Botswana."

From @sciencefocus: “If life exists elsewhere in the Solar System, one of the most likely places is Jupiter's moon Europa.” We may find out next month when NASA’s Europa Clipper mission will examine the icy moon to see if it's capable of supporting life: https://flip.it/yyIa3a

@AlexsandraSmart @LiveScience Glad it worked! Pretty amazing footage, right?
@AlexsandraSmart @LiveScience Actually, we watched the video that is part of the article. So, it's there, but it possibly loaded slowly. Or there was some other glitch you experienced.
More than a few of us have probably tied one on and wound up with a head-splitting, demoralizing hangover the next morning. So if you have big plans for tonight, you better drink plenty of water before heading out, right? Turns out a new study found no evidence to support the notion of water as a hangover suppressant. @ScienceAlert reports: https://flip.it/3VyNBh

While exploring the Tonga Trench in the Southwestern Pacific Ocean, researchers captured extremely rare footage of a Magnapinna squid with arms several times the length of its body. And, yes, it was walking. @LiveScience has the footage: https://flip.it/eHKEAp

It’s legal for prisoners to unionize — and it can be invaluable for incarcerated people who are often laboring in difficult conditions without pay. @TexasObserver’s Michelle Pitcher talked to Texans in and out of prisons who are helping empower prisoners to seek better conditions — including the right to be paid and to refuse work.
