it effectively turned sedentary 55-year-olds into 30-year-olds when viewed through heart activity monitoring equipment.

Being that heart disease is the leading cause of death for most people in the United States, and cardiac strength is inversely correlated with heart disease, it’s probably one of the most significant studies on exercise ever carried out.

Look up what "Uplifting" means - https://lemmy.world/post/30071584

For voting - I will not use the post upvotes and downvotes as the vote, and instead, vote on the comments which are highlighted (spoken as moderator, in case your ui does not show them differently, just sort the comments by oldest).

This will essentially remove the votes of people who did not bother reading this line (I have no problem with someone being busy, and one may not have time to read) but someone who just reads titles and moves on is not really even caring about what community a post came from, and may just treat it is a post from news community. This is inspired somewhat by someones comment of thee first linked post, where they said they upvoted stuff but did not pay attention to what community they belonged to (I am not hating on them, actually it is great of them to admit what they did, which in itself is not wrong).

• Scientists from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute are collaborating with local communities in the Ngäbe-Buglé Comarca, a protected Indigenous territory, to foster a ground-up reforestation strategy using native trees and carbon payments.
• The project involves about 30 plots totaling 100 hectares (247 acres) of land, giving participants full ownership of their trees.
• The approach is based on carbon-sequestration data and other scientific metrics collected from Smithsonian’s Agua Salud research site in Colón.
• The work also leans on economic analyses to ensure that reforestation projects can become reliable and sustainable livelihood strategies for Panama’s rural communities.

The title of a 2,000-year-old Greek philosophical text has been read by computer scientists using AI to study scrolls buried by the eruption of Vesuvius.

I've heard of similar tech being used to decipher text from the dead sea scrolls, it's awesome to see these advances happening.

Frank Taylor’s idea for the Stable Recovery program was born six years ago out of a need for help on his family’s 1,100-acre farm that has foaled and raised some of racing’s biggest stars in the heart of Kentucky horse country.

The area is also home to America’s bourbon industry and racing has long been associated with alcohol.

“If a horse won, I drank a lot,” Taylor said. “If a horse lost, I drank a lot.”

The basic framework for the program at Taylor Made Farm came from a restaurant he frequents whose owner operates it as a second-chance employment opportunity for people in recovery. Taylor thought something similar would work on his farm, given the physical labor involved in caring for horses and the peaceful atmosphere.

Seriously, nobody needs more fucking Trump spam on this or any website. Stop making these shitty subs to slip your slave colony demagogue bullshit into people's TLs. Fuck off and 🪫 him already.
