- 1Bones may release proteins that slow aging and extend lifespan●Bones may release proteins that slow aging and extend life span
New research suggests bones are not just structural tissue but may act like an endocrine organ, releasing proteins into the blood that slow aging and extend lifespan. The findings, reported in Science, point to bone-derived signals that could influence aging processes elsewhere in the body, raising interest in potential therapies that mimic these proteins to promote healthier, longer lives.

Attention on Cottbus centres on FC Energie Cottbus's match against VfL Bochum, with viewers asking where to watch the game live on TV and streaming. Separately, the German Aerospace Center's Cottbus site received a visit from Brandenburg's science minister, Manja Schüle, who toured the DLR location. The city is thus in the news for both sport and science.
- 3Tonight: a tour of the world's volcanic activity●🌋À 19h, @chappronneuiltv.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy fait le tour de l'activité volcanique terrestre. ➡️ twitch.tv/chappron
A science outreach streamer is hosting a live broadcast at 7pm reviewing volcanic activity around the world, presented as popular science content. The announcement has been shared several times by a science community account on the fediverse, drawing modest attention and engagement from French-speaking science enthusiasts.
- 4Neuroscientists Use Virtual Reality to Train Lucid Dreaming●Neuroscientists reveal method to train people to have lucid dreams
Neuroscientists have unveiled a method to train people to experience lucid dreams, in which sleepers become aware they are dreaming and can sometimes control the dream. The approach combines virtual reality and meditation, according to reporting by Live Science. The work suggests that guided mindfulness practice and VR exposure before sleep may increase the likelihood of lucidity, a phenomenon long studied for its potential therapeutic and research value.

NASA says astronauts aboard the International Space Station will answer questions from students in Florida in a live educational link-up. The event is part of the agency's ongoing outreach program, which connects schoolchildren with astronauts in orbit to promote science, technology, engineering and math education and inspire the next generation of explorers.
- 6POG Science Week launches with live streams on science and ecology●📅 La Semaine POG De l'informatique, des sciences, de l'écologie, des volcans et de l'histoire. 🔴🄻🄸🅅🄴 pogscience.durss.ni
POG Science Week is running live programming covering computer science, ecology, volcanoes and history. Organisers note a schedule quirk: France has switched to a new time zone while Quebec has not yet, so the usual time difference shifts by one hour to minus five for the week. Viewers are advised the broadcast calendar may need updating mid-week, and the event is being shared among French-speaking science communication communities.
