AI, Health, and Climate: News Roundup
A new study suggests that artificial intelligence is reshaping how entrepreneurs think and adapt, while researchers are making progress toward a universal flu vaccine and exploring the true value of Earth science information. Meanwhile, experts are highlighting the importance of hydration and its impact on the body.
According to a study from the University of East London, exposure to digital tools and AI was associated with sharper strategic thinking and greater mental flexibility for entrepreneurs. The research found that those who understand and actively use AI appear better equipped to navigate the changing business landscape (Source 2).
In the realm of health, experts are emphasizing the importance of hydration. "Nothing happens in your body without water playing a role in it," said Jodi Stookey, a nutrition epidemiologist at the San Francisco Department of Public Health (Source 4). Dehydration can lead to cells shrinking, darker urine, and other negative effects. A recent meta-analysis indicated that 24% of older adults in the U.S. are at least a little dehydrated (Source 4).
Progress is also being made in the fight against the flu. Bryan Walsh, a senior editorial director at Vox, reported that the world is finally making progress toward a universal flu vaccine (Source 5). This year's flu season is proving to be tough, with less than half of adults getting a flu shot (Source 5).
Furthermore, researchers are working to measure the true value of Earth science information. Tools like sensors, satellites, radars, and drones collect vast amounts of data on the climate, ground, air, and water. This information is immensely useful for research, conservation, and disaster preparedness (Source 3).
