At least a quarter of all human-generated greenhouse gas emissions to date can be traced to the livestock industry. Vast tracts are used to grow feed crops and to graze the world’s 92 billion cows, pigs, chickens and other animals slaughtered each year. This hunger for land means livestock farming is a leading cause of deforestation, as well as a significant drain on freshwater. A global transition towards plant-based diets is urgently needed. But should this include our pets?

Introducing OpenAI's o1 Model: A New Era in AI Reasoning OpenAI has just launched its groundbreaking o1 reasoning model, setting a new standard for AI's capabilities in tackling complex tasks in science, coding, mathematics, and beyond. Unlike its predecessors, o1 is designed to think before responding, simulating human-like reasoning. By refining its thought process, o1 can solve more difficult problems with enhanced accuracy and efficiency.

Artificial intelligence (AI) allows data analysis and integration at an unprecedented granularity and scale. Here we review the technological advances, challenges and future perspectives of using AI for electro-clinical phenotyping of animal models and patients with epilepsy. In translational research AI models accurately identify behavioral states in animal models of epilepsy, allowing identification of correlations between neural activity and interictal and ictal behavior.

WINCHESTER, ENGLAND / ACCESSWIRE / October 5, 2023 / Studies show plant-based diets lower greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), and use less land and water. Food energy savings mean more people can be fed. This has triggered calls for vegan diets - but not for our pets. Yet a new major study published in leading scientific journal PLOS ONE has demonstrated very large environmental benefits associated with nutritionally-sound vegan diets - for dogs and cats, as well as people.
