  • Summary

  • Science news in 2024 is starting as it means to go on, with a potential new antibiotic on the block, a 60 year low for CO2 emissions and a resignation honours list that celebrates maths advocacy. On the topic of Veganuary, Meg walks us through what happens to your body when you stop eating meat and dairy, how altering your diet can cause your microbiome to rapidly adapt, and what nutrients are perhaps reduced if you don’t take steps to ensure your vegan diet is varied.Grace talks about the relationship between diet and the climate crisis, how reducing meat intake can reduce nitrogen waste, and some of the technologies being developed to try to overcome these problems. And finally, Grace and Meg share some science stories with a quirky twist, from a plant that can survive in space, to love’s signature on the brain, to understanding 10,000 year old diets by analysing chewing gum. But what about you?
