NASA has asked to suspend the sale of lunar dust that was fed to cockroaches for the sake of experiment

Dust collected during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 was given to insects to eat to determine if it contained pathogens. Cockroaches fed on moon dust were then studied at the University of Minnesota by entomologist Marion Brooks. According to the results of her research, she did not find any negative effects of insects eating moon dust. The dust was fed to cockroaches to check whether the regolith contained some kind of "lunar plague" dangerous to humanity.

Loving men increases the risk of developing eating disorders.

Sexual attraction to men is a risk factor for developing eating disorders. These conclusions were reached by Spanish scientists in the course of a survey of 400 homo- and heterosexual men and women. Researchers have found that eating disorders and their symptoms are more common in heterosexual women and gay men than in lesbians and heterosexual men. Also, gays and women of different orientations are more likely to dislike their bodies. At the same time, the former strive for thinness more. The results can be explained by the fact that, regardless of their sexual orientation, men pay more attention to the physical attractiveness of their partners than women - and they strive to meet the "ideals".

A team of scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel studied how smells affect friendships.
