Does coffee increase cancer risk? | Interviews | Naked Scientists
September 16, 2022Liked the discussion of the paper by @stevesphd on Coffee Consumption
& Cancer Risk (https://clinicalnutritionjournal.com/article/S0261-5614(22)00313-2/fulltext). However, I was surprised that the elevation of stomach acid & GERD from caffeine was not mentioned as a potential reason for the association with esophageal cancer.

Nice paper. Curious: was methylation able to predict weight accurately?

Great analysis of ancient (microbial) DNA!
Get law enforcement out of biospecimen authentication
June 18, 2022https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abo5386
Not sure how meaningful this proposal is given how trivial it is to identify cell lines and individuals via sequencing. Moreover, it seems like it is trying to create “artificial silos” between research and law enforcement communities.
