Adult e-scooter riders had a higher risk of brain, internal organ, and blood vessel injuries than the other groups, although their risk of fractures was lower. Helmet use was documented in just 5.9% of e-scooter riders.

The authors suggest that helmet use, e-scooter design, urban infrastructure, and rider behaviour could influence injury risk, and recommend mandatory helmets, stricter speed limits, and improved scooter design. 👉 Read the full article here: spklr.io/6018EVpfq

In a small preliminary study, women who received 15 micrograms of the psychedelic drug LSD focused for longer periods and responded faster to a stimulus than did those who were given a placebo. This effect was not observed for male participants. spklr.io/6010EVp2e

Microdosing LSD shows some cognitive benefits — but only for women

Nature - Different effects of low-dose psychedelics on sustained attention in women and men deserve further investigation.

Salt marshes can survive extreme wave events with modest erosion but are likely to offer the best flood protection to coastlines that experience moderate storms, according to the results of experiments in a massive wave flume reported in @Nature: spklr.io/6010EVVVM

The contribution of salt marshes to wave attenuation during extreme storms

Nature - Salt marsh platforms resist erosion under extreme waves, but vegetation damage reduces wave attenuation; substantial wave attenuation by vegetation is mainly limited to low-energy marsh...

An enzyme in the brain might help to preserve cognitive resilience with advancing age, partly by clearing the organ of lipid droplets. spklr.io/6016EVREm

Memory stays strong in old age when this brain enzyme is active

Nature - Data from mouse brains and 13 human brains show a link between levels of a lipid-degrading enzyme and cognitive resilience.
