This week’s science news highlights remarkable discoveries and developments. Researchers found that Ötzi the Iceman, who died over 5,300 years ago, had ancient yeasts in his body, which they used to create a notably good sourdough bread. In a significant modern initiative, Google has applied to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to release 64 million non-biting male mosquitoes infected with the bacterium Wolbachia. This effort aims to control mosquito populations and the diseases they spread, such as West Nile virus. Meanwhile, NASA announced the death of its MAVEN spacecraft, which had been studying Mars for over a decade, after losing contact late last year. Other notable findings include the discovery of a Roman villa by Italian teenagers and the completion of the first whole-genome sequence of the Greenland shark, known for its longevity. These discoveries not only enrich our understanding of history but also hold potential implications for modern science and health.
