People with DNA variant from our evolutionary cousins tend to have more lean muscle mass

A short post, highlighting three papers published in recent weeks that I have had the fortune of contributing to. All use networks of drip loggers in caves to record water movement from the surface to the water table. First, led by Akhilesh Kumar at UNSW Sydney, is a satellite remote sensing study. Can we use satellite-derived products, such as rainfall, vegetation characteristics and soil moisture, to understand when recharge events might occur?
