Mar 9th, 2026 - ROME (AP) — Some of the lesser-known treasures at San Pietro in Vincoli basilica in Rome , known for Michelangelo's massive marble statue of Moses, are finally being restored. Thanks to an infusion of European Union pandemic recovery funding, a frenzied series of restorations at religious, historic and cultural sites around the Eternal City are popping up. On Monday, restorer Melanie Khanthajan climbed up a series of ladders with her toolbox to her perch on the scaffolding near the basilica ceiling, 20 meters (65 feet) off the floor. Using a scalpel, she painstakingly scraped off ... [Read More]

Mar 9th, 2026 - International travelers are facing fresh warnings after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a travel alert for 32 different countries. The reason? A spike in cases of the poliovirus, known as polio. The potentially paralyzing disease was once a major concern around the world, but the availability of modern treatments and prevention methods (namely vaccines) made polio a disease of the past in many parts of the developed world. However, the rise in anti-science sentiments, like the anti-vaccination movement, have caused some once forgotten diseases to once again ... [Read More]

Mar 9th, 2026 - Elephants brought glory to the Angola highlands until the 1975 civil war. Soon enough, the giant mammals turned into assets with price tags for body parts. The population that was once a staggering 70,000 had diminished drastically, with thousands of elephants dying and losing their natural habitats to human greed. Although most of the population either perished or migrated to neighboring countries, a small number of elephants remained in some of the remotest regions of the Angolan highlands. Signs like footprints, dung, and scraping on the trees had given enough hope for conservationists to ... [Read More]

Mar 9th, 2026 - A white fluid on a 3,300-year-old papyrus was used to make the figure of a jackal slimmer, researchers have found New light has been shed on the working methods—and attention to detail—of Ancient Egyptian craftspeople, after researchers at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK, identified what has been described as a very old form of "Tipp-Ex". Analysis of a papyrus from an approximately 3,300 year-old Book of the Dead showed a whiteish fluid had been used to make the figure of a jackal slimmer. The discovery was made as part of ongoing work around the Fitzwilliam's exhibition ... [Read More]

Mar 8th, 2026 - Decades after its release into the wild, a super-ageing, bone-crunching vulture called Balthazar reveals a major conservation success. In the autumn of 2025, wildlife experts in the French Alps made a surprising discovery: a frail, weakened bearded vulture found lying on the ground turned out to be Balthazar , a bird released under a conservation programme in 1988, who had vanished from observations. Having been presumed dead, at over 37 years old, he is in fact the oldest bearded vulture ever to have been recorded in the wild.  Over his long life, Balthazar witnessed the return of his ...
