A record year for dam removals reconnects US rivers. 100 dams were removed in 2025, reconnecting over 7,900 km of rivers, the largest single-year total on record. Many of the structures were obsolete or unsafe, and their removal is already restoring fish migration routes, reducing flood risks […]

Artemis II, NASA’s most daring mission in generations, has launched to the Moon, marking the first time since 1972 that humans will have left lower Earth orbit. The ten-day flight will be packed with milestones: two of the crew, NASA’s Christina Koch and Victor Glover, will become the first […]

Australia’s ampurta is making a big comeback. The tiny desert marsupial was once thought close to extinction after farming and the introduction of foxes and rabbits devastated its habitat in the 19th and 20th centuries. But between 2015 and 2021 it expanded its range by 48,000 km² — roughly the […]

Hesistant to #ShareGoodNewsToo over such an early stage thing, but yeah, GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA sounds promising. A multi-virus dual-mechanism internasal respitory vaccine? Whoa!
A century of (don’t get creeped out) hair samples shows how sharply lead exposure fell after modern environmental rules took hold in the United States. A PNAS study found that current lead concentrations in hair from Utah’s Wasatch Front are almost 100 times lower than before the Environmental […]

Right after the law went into effect, >20K subcontract workers w/ the Korean Metal Workers’ Union submitted bargaining demands. #ShareGoodNewsToo

A bicycle bell that can penetrate noise cancelling headphones. As I once saw a teenager with headphones on walk obliviously in front of an ambulance with sirens and lights going this technology needs applying to emergency sirens as well.

Antarctic humpback whales have recovered to nearly pre-whaling levels. Humpbacks have been the fastest to rebound since commercial whaling was banned in 1986, with multiple groups of more than 100 whales recorded near the South Orkney Islands. “It’s breathtaking to see blows stretch from horizon […]

Breast cancer mortality is declining overall in Europe, with new analysis linking much of the progress to earlier detection through screening programmes. Earlier diagnosis shifts cancers to more treatable stages, significantly improving survival rates, and shows how sustained investment in […]
Every major US newspaper that covered this super positive cancer news ran it w/ a headline like “Young Women Gettinv Cancer More! What’s Killing Them?” Distorting higher *detection* into higher cancer rates, to turn bad news into good & make clickbait. This is why we need to #ShareGoodNewsToo!!
