Scientists have known that women experience more adverse side effects than men, even when drug dosages are adjusted for body weight. But for decades, women were excluded from drug trials due to the false belief that hormone cycles would skew test results.

Jo Nagai was ten years old when he noticed something extraordinary: the swallowtail butterflies he'd raised seemed to recognize him, while wild ones scattered at his approach. That simple observation sparked a question that would lead him on a two-year scientific journey.

Determined to understand what he'd witnessed, Jo reached out to Dr. Martha Weiss at Georgetown University, whose research had already shown that moths retain memories through metamorphosis. Together, they designed an experiment. Jo trained caterpillars to associate a vibration with lavender scent, then waited to see what would happen after their brains completely rebuilt inside the chrysalis.

Seventy percent of the adult butterflies still avoided the lavender—their memories had survived the transformation. But Jo didn't stop there. When he bred these trained butterflies, something even more remarkable emerged: their offspring and grandchildren instinctively avoided lavender too, despite never experiencing the original training themselves.

At just ten years old, Jo documented his findings in a 33-page paper and presented alongside Dr. Weiss at the International Congress of Entomology in Kobe. His work challenges everything we thought we understood about genetics and inheritance, proving that sometimes the most revolutionary discoveries come from a child's willingness to ask "why" and pursue the answer with genuine curiosity.

An extraordinary discovery in Tibet has revealed a hidden Buddhist library believed to be nearly 950 years old, containing more than 84,000 ancient handwritten manuscripts.

Preserved inside a monastery for centuries, the collection includes religious scriptures, historical records, medical texts and philosophical writings, many of which remain remarkably well preserved and clearly legible. Scholars believe it could be one of the largest and most important collections of Tibetan Buddhist literature ever found.

Experts are now working to preserve, digitise and translate the manuscripts, unlocking centuries of history, culture and knowledge for future generations. 📜🏔️
