A study in BMC Biology demonstrates the exchange of specific bacteria during washing and implies that both worn and unworn clothing acquire a “washing” microbiome. It discusses the development of next-generation laundry products for consumer well-being.

Research has previously documented that wearing red was associated with a higher probability of winning in a range of Olympic combat sports. A meta-analysis reported in Scientific Reports shows red-wearing athletes won 50.5% of contests, which was not a statistically significant bias. 🧪
Meta-analysis of the red advantage in combat sports - Scientific Reports
Research has previously documented that across a range of Olympic combat sports, wearing red is associated with a higher probability of winning contests, especially when bouts are close. Yet, the hypothesis for a red advantage has not been systematically examined across multiple tournaments. Here, we report 6,589 contest outcomes for boxing, taekwondo, and wrestling from seven Summer Olympic Games (1996–2020) and nine World Boxing Championships (2005–2021). Using meta-analytic techniques, we found 50.5% wins by red for the overall data, which was not a statistically significant bias. Analyses of close contests resulted in 51.5% red wins, also not significantly different from the null expectation of equal proportions. Before 2005, however, when the red advantage was first reported and prior to changes in particular tournament rules, there was some support for a red advantage in close contests, with 56.8% of bouts won by red. It is possible that knowledge of the effect, as well as rule changes in each of the sports, have reduced the chances of a small effect being manifested, leading to the disappearance of the red advantage in competition results.

#TalDiacomoHoy de 1912, un tal Alfred #Wegener presentaba en la Sociedad Geológica de Frankfurt una idea sobre el origen de los continentes y los océanos. ⚒️ 🧪

Aunque la teoría de la deriva continental no tuvo buena acogida inicial, fue muy importante para la #Geología.

Resistance to one antibiotic can make bacteria resistant or sensitive to another antibiotic, opening paths for combinatorial treatments. A study in Nature Microbiology presents an approach to systematically discover and understand such antibiotic relationships. https://go.nature.com/49of3Mk 🧪
