"... researchers sent a plane 10,000 feet into the sky, to discover unanticipatedly diverse microbial growth and viability, including the discovery of infectious microbes. It isn’t surprising then to learn that atmospheric climate processes are not solely governed by larger-scale atmospheric physics, but are also influenced by microbial life. There are certain specialized bacteria that have the ability to kickstart the formation of ice in clouds, one of the processes critical for precipitation. This seemingly small interaction could have profound implications for the water cycle."
"A pillar of society that has a deep influence on cultural shifts is food and nutrition. In the second article of this series exploring South Asians’ predisposition to CVD, food is used as a pivot to explore and summarize how nutrition has shifted over the centuries, affecting cardiovascular risk."

"Numerous research studies have shown that biological and genetic predispositions also play a role, especially in certain ethnic populations such as South Asians, who face a higher risk of CVD and metabolic diseases compared to Caucasians."
