Expanding abortion access strengthens democracy, while abortion bans signal broader repression − worldwide study
...
The evidence is clear: When abortion is legal, democracy thrives. And when reproductive rights are restricted, democracy withers. That same story is unfolding in the U.S. right now, state by state.Following a successful 2022 abortion ballot initiative, California guaranteed reproductive freedom in its state Constitution. As in Argentina, this move was spearheaded by a strong women’s movement in the state Legislature.
By contrast, Texas has echoed Poland’s path. After shutting down access to abortion, the state restricted its citizens’ right to travel, further curbing civil liberties.
Mobilizing for reproductive rights expands democracy because it gives women voice and control over basic freedoms. The struggle for abortion rights shows society that the personal is indeed political – and that women’s lives matter.

New species of tardigrade reveals secrets of radiation-resisting powers
A newly described species of tardigrade is giving scientists insights into what makes these tiny eight-legged creatures so resistant to radiation.Now, scientists have sequenced the genome of a species new to science, and revealed some of the molecular mechanisms that give tardigrades their extraordinary resilience. Their study, published in Science on 24 October, identifies thousands of tardigrade genes that become more active when exposed to radiation. These processes point to a sophisticated defence system that involves protecting DNA from the damage that radiation causes and repairing any breaks that do occur.
The authors hope that their insights could be harnessed to help protect astronauts from radiation during space missions, clean up nuclear pollution or improve cancer treatment.

UN: 2023’s carbon emissions make it nearly impossible to hit climate goals
With four more years like 2023, carbon emissions will blow past 1.5° limit
With each passing year, it gets harder to reach net zero quickly enough.John Timmer (Ars Technica)
