Scientists find perfect fossils in rust beneath Australian farmland
Beneath the dry farmland of New South Wales lies a hidden window into a lost rainforest teeming with life from 11-16 million years ago. At McGraths Flat, scientists have uncovered fossils preserved in astonishing detail—not in typical rock like shale or sandstone, but in iron-rich sediment once thought incapable of such preservation. Tiny iron particles filled and captured entire cells, preserving everything from insect organs to fish eye pigments and delicate spider hairs.

STAT+: Trump pivots on kratom derivative 7-OH, floating approval for some forms
President Trump on Monday suggested the federal government could move to approve some forms of 7-OH, an opioid derived from the naturally occurring kratom plant.
“We’re looking very seriously at natural 7-OH and getting that approved,” Trump said.
It was not clear what Trump meant by “natural 7-OH.” Small amounts of the compound, shorthand for 7-hydroxymitragynine, occur naturally in kratom, which is increasingly used as a recreational drug and an unapproved pain treatment. While kratom is significantly less dangerous than potent synthetic opioids like fentanyl or prescription pain pills, it can still cause addiction and overdose.

No FDA permission, no problem: New flavored vape policy worries experts
The tobacco industry chalked up another win on Friday with a new policy announced by the Food and Drug Administration that gives what one expert called a “get-out-of-jail-free card” to some manufacturers illegally selling e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches.
The FDA has a significant backlog of applications from the makers of vapes and nicotine pouches seeking authorization to sell their products. Some have gone ahead and put their products on sale anyway while awaiting word from the agency. In the new guidance, first reported by the New York Times, the agency said it will not prioritize cracking down on illegal sales under two conditions.
