About 1 million insect species have been described, but a new analysis suggests tens of millions more may be out there

We tested a hypothesis that misinformation exploits outrage to spread online, examining generalizability across multiple platforms, time periods, and classifications of misinformation. Outrage is highly engaging and need not be accurate to achieve its communicative goals, making it an attractive signal to embed in misinformation. In eight studies that used US data from Facebook (1,063,298 links) and Twitter (44,529 tweets, 24,007 users) and two behavioral experiments (1475 participants), we show that (i) misinformation sources evoke more outrage than do trustworthy sources; (ii) outrage facilitates the sharing of misinformation at least as strongly as sharing of trustworthy news; and (iii) users are more willing to share outrage-evoking misinformation without reading it first.

Wang et al. identify a metabolic-immune feedback circuit in hepatocellular carcinoma, in which tumor cell-intrinsic AARS1-mediated ATF6 lactylation activates the TDO2-kynurenine axis to promote Treg differentiation and immunosuppression, while Treg-derived eNAMPT enhances tumor glycolysis and lactate production, revealing a therapeutic vulnerability to AARS1 inhibition combined with PD-1/PD-L1 blockade.

Liu et al. identifies ARK2 as a dual-function kinesin that controls PIN2 microtubule-dependent trafficking and direct interaction-mediated nanodomain assembly to sustain auxin asymmetry in Arabidopsis root gravitropism.

Alpha Centauri is 4.37 light years away—so could we reach it in 20 years? Only by leaving ordinary rockets behind for beamed sails, antimatter, or stranger drives. 🚀 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFipeZtQM5CKUjx6grh54g/join 🛒 SFIA Merchandise: https://isaac-arthur-shop.fourthwall.com/ 🌐 Visit our Website: http://www.isaacarthur.net ❤️ Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/IsaacArthur ⭐ Support us on Subscribestar: https://www.subscribestar.com/isaac-arthur 👥 Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1583992725237264/ 📣 Reddit Community: https://www.reddit.com/r/IsaacArthur/ 🐦 Follow on Twitter / X: https://twitter.com/Isaac_A_Arthur 💬 SFIA Discord Server: https://discord.gg/53GAShE
