Plastic isn't as inert as we'd thought: Scientists found that tiny everyday microplastics sitting in plain water spontaneously make reactive oxygen, a damaging chemical that made proteins clump and burst red blood cells in lab tests. The more water-repelling the plastic, the stronger it was.

A study of over 12,000 Norwegian families found that by age eight, a child’s ADHD traits come mainly from their own genes, not from how their parents’ genes shape the home. Researchers found no firm evidence that parenting style or the home environment tied to parents’ DNA drives ADHD in their kids.
