This week on Next Take Podcast, Canada’s own Mikel and Tanyka explore three intriguing stories: how female baboons can reject sperm, the investigation into a former Meta employee accused of downloading private photos, and how physical exercise could help boost memory. Join the conversation as they unpack animal biology, digital privacy, and the connection between movement and the mind.
A fascinating scientific discovery is challenging what we know about reproduction in the animal kingdom. Researchers have found evidence that female olive baboons may have a remarkable biological ability to influence which sperm survive after mating.According to a study published in PLOS Biology, female baboons can experience changes in their reproductive environment when mating with genetically similar males. These changes include increased immune responses and higher acidity levels, potentially making it more difficult for certain sperm to survive. (Via Source: Phys.Org )
A former Meta employee is at the centre of a criminal investigation after allegedly downloading approximately 30,000 private Facebook photos without authorization.The London-based engineer is suspected of developing a computer program designed to bypass Meta's internal security systems, allowing him to access and download users' private images without triggering detection.

Can physical exercise actually improve your memory? Research suggests that staying physically active does more than strengthen your muscles—it can also support brain health, improve concentration, and help protect memory as we age. From brisk walking and cycling to strength training and aerobic workouts, certain forms of exercise may enhance cognitive performance by increasing blood flow to the brain and supporting processes involved in learning and memory.
