🇺🇸 **Nearly 70% of US adults considered obese under proposed new definition, study finds**

"_The new approach would label someone as being obese if they have a BMI over 40 or if they have a high BMI plus at least one sign of excess body fat, for example a large waist, high waist-to-hip ratio, or high waist-to-height ratio. People could also be classed as obese if they have two signs of excess fat even with a "normal" BMI, or if scans show they have excessive body fat._"

🧊🌡️ Scientists from the Danish Meteorological Institute report that #Antarctica is experiencing #Greenland-like rapid ice loss through collapsing ice shelves, accelerating #glaciers, and increased surface melting that was thought impossible just 30 years ago.

The 2002 Larsen B ice shelf collapsed in six weeks rather than over millennia, and ice flow into the #ocean has increased fourfold since the 1990s, with researchers warning the changes may soon reach an irreversible tipping point.

BioMedSearch, a multi-source AI biomedical information retrieval framework based on LLMs. The method integrates literature retrieval, protein database and web search access to support accurate and efficient handling of complex biomedical queries. For needle in the haystack type queries, AI2's Asta tool https://asta.allen.ai is a much better tool.
