By targeting specific brain pathways, scientists have successfully separated the therapeutic benefits from the "trip," opening doors to accessible new treatments.

A new bio-inspired filter developed at the University of Bonn uses the same gill-arch architecture as filter-feeding fish to remove more than 99 % of microplastic fibers from washing machine wastewater. Because it’s self-cleaning and clog-resistant, it could be cheaply built into future washing machines — a clear win for cleaner water and less plastic pollution.

At the recent CITES CoP20 meeting, two-toed sloths (Hoffmann’s and Linnaeus’s) were added to Appendix II, meaning international trade will now require permits and stricter regulation. This change aims to curb illegal capture for pets, roadside “sloth encounters,” selfies and unregulated tourism, helping safeguard wild populations and reduce stress and mortality from exploitation.
