“Compared with non-active travelers, the cyclists had a 19% lower risk of all-cause dementia, a 22% lower risk of Alzheimer's, a 40% lower risk of young-onset dementia (before the age of 65), & a 17% lower risk of late-onset dementia.” Connecting bike-riding with reduced dementia risk. #UrbanTruth

Cycling Linked to Lower Risk of Dementia, Study of Half a Million Finds
Getting from A to B on a bicycle more often could reduce risk of dementia, possibly by protecting a part of the brain tied to memory functions, new research finds.

Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. scim.ag/4tsDqRr

A strong Europe that rolls on at high speed: not just possible. Necessary. Efficient EU train services offer clean and smart ways to travel. We want to bridge gaps in the EU's rail network with a new high-speed rail plan ↓ europa.eu/!nvqbGc

Your yearly reminder to acknowledge the core facilities you use and their staff scientists in your papers. These scientists are a crucial part of the scientific ecosystem and to continue to exist they need tangible credit for their work. Plus their associated expertise adds credibility to your work.

"Emissions from cycling can be more than 30x lower for each trip than driving a fossil fuel car, and about 10x lower than driving an electric one."
theconversation.com
Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities
Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Bonkers. French researcher on its way to a conference was denied US entry and his electronic equipment seized after computer searched and anti-Trmp *messages* found. Even if CNRS doesn't put the US on the travel black list (which they likely will do), it's clearly not safe to go there 😨
