Meta’s latest update lets parents check the general themes their teens discuss with AI, but not the exact chats. A new "Insights" section appears in the supervision tools, listing categories like School, Entertainment, or Health and Wellbeing. Think of it as a weekly summary of conversation buckets
Scientists used a modern DNA trick called eDNA metabarcoding to map fish life in Turkey’s rivers. Instead of catching every fish, they filtered water from 29 spots spread over seven big river basins. The DNA that sloshes through the water was amplified and read by a high‑throughput machine, producin
