Study estimates over 9% of world's lands at high risk of animal-to-human infections
Over nine per cent of the world's land area is at "high" or "very high" risk of a zoonotic outbreak -- triggered when an infection spreads from an animal to a human or vice versa, such as the Covid pandemic, according to a published in the journal Science Advances also estimate 3 per cent of the global population to be living in extremely risky areas, and about a fifth in medium-risk areas. Researchers, including those from the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) Scientific Development Programmes Unit in Italy, analysed location-specific information from the 'Global Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology Network' dataset and the World Health Organization's (WHO) list of diseases prioritised according to their potential for causing an epidemic or a Ebola, coronavirus-related MERS and SARS, and Nipah are among the most prioritised infections in the WHO's team's analysis suggests that conditions driven by climate change -- higher temperatures and rainfall, and water shortage -- elevate the risk of zoonosis, or 'spillover events'. The study "presents a global risk map and an epidemic risk index that combines countries' specific risk with their capacities for preparing and responding to zoonotic threats (excluding SARS-CoV-2)." "Our results indicate that 9.3 per cent of the global land surface is at high (6.3 per cent) or very high (three per cent) risk," the authors also estimated about 7 per cent of Asia's and 5 per cent of Africa's land area to be at high and very high risk of outbreak, following Latin America (27 per cent) and Oceania (18.6 per cent).Overall, the authors found that climate-related changes to the environment substantially drove a region's vulnerability to the risk of a spillover wrote, "This underscores the need for continued monitoring and the integration of climate adaptation and mitigation efforts into public health planning." "Translating these risk estimates into an epidemic risk index allows for the identification of high-risk areas and supports policymakers in improving response capacities, allocating resources effectively, and fostering international collaboration to address global health threats," the team said. A study by the Indian Council of Medical Research found that over 8 per cent of outbreaks reported between 2018 and 2023 under the country's infectious disease surveillance system were zoonotic. Of a total of 6,948 outbreaks analysed, 583 (8.3 per cent) were spread to humans from animals. Outbreaks were also found to consistently peak during June, July, and August. The findings were published in The Lancet Regional Southeast Asia journal in May this year.

COVID-19 pandemic may have aged your brain, even if you weren't infected, finds UK study
According to the researchers, however, these changes could be 'partially reversible' but the most significant aspect highlighted in the study was how much simply living through the uncertainty and isolation of the pandemic affected brain health. Using brain scans from nearly 1,000 healthy adults from before and after the pandemic, researchers found signs of faster brain ageing, especially in older adults, men, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Of these samples, those who were infected with COVID-19 also showed some decline in thinking speed and flexibility. But overall, the pandemic's stress alone did shift brain structure in all individuals whose scans were reviewed. New Delhi: A new study from the University of Nottingham has found that just living through the COVID-19 pandemic may have aged people's brains faster, even if they never got infected with the virus itself. The peer-reviewed study was published on 22 July in the journal Nature Communications and is based on data from the UK Biobank Study. It's a powerful reminder that our environment matters for our brain's growth. Read more here. Also Read: A UK health study has collected a whopping 100,000 full-body scans, and Neanderthals had 'family recipes' Spiders originally came from the sea? Next, we might have evidence that spiders could have originally been sea creatures. At least that is what a new peer-reviewed study published in the journal Current Biology on 22 July suggests, after researchers closely examined a preserved fossil from half a billion years ago. The fossil is called Mollisonia symmetrica, and it has a nervous system very similar to that of modern-day arachnids like spiders and scorpions. Until now, scientists thought these creatures only evolved once their ancestors moved onto land 400 million years ago and have remained the same ever since. But this new study flips that theory on its head, quite literally. It cites evidence of the brain of the fossil Mollisonia, which shows a reversed organisation—a signature trait seen in today's arachnids. This arrangement may have given them faster reflexes, better control, and precision, which are all traits modern-day spiders use to hunt and weave webs. The fossil places Mollisonia as a close relative of modern arachnids, meaning these creatures might have started evolving in the ocean long before they crept onto land. Read more here. Scientists genome sequence 100-yr-old Spanish Flu virus A 100-year-old lung sample from Switzerland helped scientists decode the deadliest flu in human history. A new peer-reviewed study by researchers from the Universities of Basel and Zurich published in BMC Biology Journal on 1 July sequenced the genome of the 1918 'Spanish flu' virus. They used preserved tissue from a young patient who died during the pandemic's first wave in Switzerland. The Spanish flu that spread across Europe and Asia in the 1910s is said to have killed between 20-100 million people. By decoding the genome, scientists now have insights into how this flu had already adapted to humans early on. They found three key mutations in the genome—two which helped the virus evade the human immune system, and one which boosted its ability to infect human cells. What makes this study stand out is also how they conducted the study. In viral flus, the genetic information rests in the RNA, not the DNA. The RNA is very quick to degrade but these scientists developed a method to recover ancient viral RNA. This technique could open the door to learning more from historic outbreaks. Read more here. Arctic winter is melting, and researchers have noticed it A group of scientists led by Dr James Bradley from Queen Mary University, London, published a commentary in Nature Communications on 21 July talking about the 'shockingly warm' winter conditions in the Arctic. The team described how they had geared up for winter Arctic fieldwork in Svalbard, wearing layers of thermal clothing, only to find themselves drenched in rain, standing on bare grass, and working without even needing gloves in what is supposed to be the middle of winter in February 2025. Svalbard is a Norwegian archipelago located where the Arctic Ocean converges with the Atlantic Ocean. In the commentary, they raised alarms about melted snow pools, blooming vegetation, and rain replacing snow in the Arctic Circle during winters. Svalbard is heating up six to seven times faster than the global average, and the Arctic winter is no longer reliably frozen, said the team. These conditions not only disrupted their research but also raised safety concerns, like how to retreat from polar bears without their snowmobiles working. The team warns that winter warming in the Arctic is not a fluke but rather the new norm. The message sent by the commentary is clear: climate policy needs to catch up, and fast. Read more here.

‘Grounded like Dhoni, driven to make a difference in my own small way'
— Shivam Kumar Sah Since childhood, I had this habit of breaking gadgets at home – not to destroy them, but to peek inside and understand how they worked. Compact Disc players, motors, toys – anything mechanical fascinated me. Maybe that curiosity was the earliest sign that I'd end up becoming an engineer. I used to watch the Discovery Channel, try building small things at home, and mess around with motors. The idea of engineering took root early. But the turning point came in Class 9, when my dad took me to the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT Guwahati). It was love at first sight – the campus, the energy, the vibe. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to be in an IIT. I began my Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) preparation in 2021, right in the middle of the COVID-19 lockdowns, after my Class 10 exams. Everything was online, and it was hard to stay motivated. Without physical classrooms or peer interaction, I couldn't measure where I stood. That lack of healthy competition made me complacent, and honestly, Class 11 just slipped by. Things changed in Class 12, when offline coaching resumed. Being surrounded by hardworking friends reminded me that I had to pull up my socks. I started staying longer at the coaching centre, studying with peers, and slowly, the rhythm returned. With a lot of effort, support from teachers, blessings from my parents, and God's grace — I made it. Not exactly the way I dreamed, but I ticked that first big box. I appeared for JEE Main and Advanced in 2023, securing an All India Rank of 13,846 at JEE Advanced. It was my first attempt. I initially got Industrial Chemistry at IIT BHU, but I later changed my branch in the first semester to Mechanical Engineering, which was much closer to my interests. My dream was, however, always to pursue Aerospace, but I am happy with Mechanical – it is still about building things, solving problems, and creating real-world systems. I stepped into IIT BHU Varanasi in 2023. My parents dropped me off at the hostel. I was emotional, even scared – but that changed in a few days. Because hostels are like a wild jungle full of fearless people. You meet all kinds – the kind you've never imagined, and yet, they feel like family so quickly. In the first month, we didn't study much. We just roamed every inch of the campus, laughed, got lost, found ourselves again, and discovered our own spaces. That's how adjusting became easy – because we were all new, all figuring things out together. Fests, events, and random conversations made friendships blossom. Mess food isn't like home-cooked food, of course. But eating it with your second family – your friends – slowly made it better. We used to joke, complain, experiment with snacks – that's how bonding happens. I love staying engaged, so I joined various clubs and cells. I got into the Robotics and Programming Clubs, and now I'm an active member of the Training and Placement Cell of IIT Banaras Hindu University (BHU). I believe in staying busy – when I'm idle, I feel unproductive. Taking responsibility, working with teams, building things – it keeps me motivated. Balancing academics and clubs wasn't too hard. I made it a point to attend classes regularly, which helped me understand concepts and reduce last-minute pressure. A few weeks before exams, I'd buckle down. The rest of the time? I'd be building bots, organising fests, or chilling with friends. IIT isn't just about studying. You really live life here. Every weekend brings something – a fest, a hackathon, a guest lecture. And, most importantly, you're surrounded by people who motivate you to do better – not by pushing you down, but by growing together. Being at IIT has transformed me. I used to depend on my mom for everything. Now I manage my own routine, my own mess, my own setbacks. I've developed a more serious, grounded perspective on life. And through it all, I still hold on to one of M S Dhoni's quotes that has stuck with me: 'I want to be remembered more as a good human being than a good cricketer.' That's how I want to live – not just as a good engineer, but as a good human being. I've learned that you don't need to be the best at everything, but you should always believe – till the very last second. That belief has carried me across the line more times than talent alone ever could. My days are a mix of classes, tea breaks at Limbdi Corner, samosa with friends, and long walks around the Vishwanath Temple. Sometimes we go to the ghats of Varanasi, especially at night – the spiritual energy of the city is unmatched. I spend time in club rooms, working on robotics projects or prepping for events. I love this hands-on energy – it keeps me grounded. The teachers at IIT BHU are incredible. They're helpful, responsive, and some of them treat you like family. I still remember going to a professor's home on Bihu – he was from Guwahati too, and that evening felt like a warm slice of home. We were treated to traditional food, laughter, and care – something I'll never forget. I manage my expenses through a mix of sources – I've won a few competitions, done an internship, and, of course, my parents support me monthly. I still love playing cricket, and nowadays I've developed a liking for late-night badminton sessions with friends. It's refreshing after a long day. And yes, I write poems. It's something that calms me. A private space where I can reflect, imagine, and express what I don't say out loud. I hope I keep writing as life goes on. Also, I have a strong interest in politics – who knows, maybe one day I'll explore that field too. After all, engineers have become politicians before. What I miss the most about Guwahati isn't just the food or the weather – it's the people. My parents, my school friends, my teachers, the entire environment. I miss those early morning cricket matches during vacations – playing with a carefree mind, without any worry about the future. To be honest, I'm still exploring. I'm deeply interested in the evolving field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and I hope to work in a space that blends AI and engineering to solve meaningful, real-world problems. But, more importantly, whatever I do, I want it to be connected to the common people. I strongly believe in giving back to society – whether it's through tech, service, or something else. I want to create something or contribute in a way that makes life a little better for someone else. And if life takes me in a different direction – maybe even into public service or politics – I won't mind, as long as it's driven by purpose. What matters most to me is being useful, staying grounded, and making a difference in my own small way. Mridusmita Deka covers education and has worked with the Careers360 previously.
