In March, a California court did something almost nobody expected. It held Meta and Google legally liable for a young user's depression caused by their platforms. Both companies have now launched aggressive appeals to overturn the verdict, and the reason is bigger than one family or one dollar amount. For more than two decades, big tech has sheltered behind Section 230 of the Communications Decenc...

What happens when a COVID-19 antiviral drug trial gets misclassified as electromagnetic field research? Today we explore a fascinating case study in how scientific databases can go wrong.

The magnetic fie...

New research reveals that fifty hertz electromagnetic fields -- the same frequency from power lines -- actually improved learning and memory in epileptic rat brains while reducing harmful oxidative stress. This surprising finding challenges common assumptions about EMF effects and highlights how much we still don't understand about electromagnetic field interactions with living systems. R Blank ex...

A COVID-19 antiviral drug trial somehow ended up categorized as electromagnetic field research in a major database. This episode explores what happens when medical studies get misclassified and why proper research categorization matters for understanding EMF health effects. I examine the RECOVERY trial that tested two COVID medications and discuss the broader implications for research quality and...

A groundbreaking study reveals how controlled magnetic fields can regenerate damaged nerves as effectively as surgical transplants. R Blank explores new research on magnetic field-driven nerve conduits that use rotating EMF to generate healing electrical pulses.

You sit down to work and forty minutes later you have nine tabs open and no memory of what you started. You pick up an article and reach for your phone before the second paragraph. If this sounds familiar, you are not broken. You are experiencing what researchers are calling a structural shift in human attention — and the data behind it is striking. UC Irvine researchers found that the average att...

A groundbreaking genetic study reveals how specific DNA variants can alter how viruses like Epstein-Barr behave inside your cells, potentially affecting cancer risk. Researchers analyzed nearly fourteen thousand people to identify genetic changes that make some individuals more susceptible to nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Their findings show how genetics and viral infections work together in ways that...

New research shows that electromagnetic fields can completely block learning ability in flatworms at field strengths thousands of times weaker than your smartphone produces. I'm R Blank, and today I'm breaking down a fascinating study that reveals how EMF exposure disrupts memory formation at the most fundamental biological level.
