TIL the adult brain still has neural progenitor cells which produce new nerve cells. They were thought to vanish after childhood. scientists found them in people aged 20–78. This means we keep making brain cells for life. Its a possible breakthrough for treating neurodegenerative diseases.

Christian Zionist ICJ judge, Julia Sebutinde says she is "standing with the Lord " in the genocide case brought by South Africa against Israel.

She says she is under a religious duty to stand with Israel in the case.

Her position breaches the ICJ's duty of impartiality.

The ICJ can use “special reasons” to prevent a judge from sitting in a particular case. This ought to be "one such special reason."

'The Lord Is Counting on Me to Stand on the Side of Israel': ICJ Judge Reveals Her Bias

Judge Julia Sebutinde, a Christian Zionist, was the sole dissenting vote on the ICJ ruling on Israel's illegal occupation and the only one to vote against all six 'provisional measures' for Gaza.
