The article reports that chronic exposure to the widely used weedkiller glyphosate at government-approved levels can elevate anxiety-like behaviors and alter gut microbiota in rats, with potential brain changes linked to threat processing.

This topic is of interest to psychology readers because it explores how environmental factors influence mood, emotion regulation, and gut-brain interactions that underpin mental states.

#Science question. I got Husband a #UV flashlight for his birthday, & we were playing with it last night. One of our discoveries was little random dots of bright orange on our hands.

The web says these could be #fungus or it could be bacterial waste, but the info is pretty scarce. Might any of you #biology peeps have more info? Thanks! #bacteria #skin #microbiome
