The year is 2026 and research has just now started on what the ovary do after menopause. It is not a dead organ. Removing ovaries even after menopause may not be advisable except for women at an increased risk of ovarian cancer. www.wired.com/story/ovary-...

Higher wild boar abundance = more crop damage. But is more culling the answer? In Xishuangbanna, China, higher wild boar abundance was also linked to higher vertebrate richness, positive associations, and stable co-occurrence networks. Conflict-driven culling may have unintended ecological costs.

"During the talk, he spoke of “women fishing for a golden tortoise” – a Chinese euphemism for a rich partner – and women’s youth being “very precious.” He suggested female students should not pursue PhDs, advising them instead to look for a wealthy husband while young." Between this and Cornell 🤢
