Smart glasses, sighting the risks - Stephenson Harwood
We last examined the risks of AI-enabled smart glasses, after Swedish newspapers Svenska Dagbladet and Göteborgs-Posten claimed that outsourced workers at a Kenyan subcontractor were able to view private and intimate user footage captured by Meta's Ray-Ban AI smart glasses. In the months since, the landscape has shifted considerably. AI-enabled technology has rapidly found its footing in consumer markets and a wave of smart glasses has entered the mainstream, with more tech companies poised to enter the market before the end of the year. Regulatory concern has accelerated at pace with this market growth. Regulatory authorities across the UK and Europe are issuing increasingly pointed commentary on the privacy and security risks posed by smart glasses, and we are seeing enforcement action, litigation and outright prohibitions, with venues, including cinemas and pub chain Wetherspoons in the UK, banning visitors from wearing smart glasses on their premises. As unease grows over the power of AI and opaque data flows, the message on smart glasses is clear: the privacy and security challenges posed are no longer theoretical, and the time for proactive risk management is now.

Overall dietary patterns matter more for heart health than nutrients - News-Medical
A healthy, balanced dietary pattern, rather than one focused on individual nutrients or foods is key to maintaining heart health, according to a Scientific Statement issued by the American College of Cardiology and published in JACC, its flagship journal. Diets should include minimally processed plant-based foods and healthy fats and proteins, while limiting foods high in refined starches, added sugars, sodium or unhealthy fats, as well as highly processed foods of poor nutritional quality. Suboptimal diet is a key risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), and diet and lifestyle modification is widely considered essential for both primary and secondary prevention. However, the concept of a 'heart-healthy' diet has evolved over time from nutrient-centric approaches to more holistic, food- and pattern-based strategies that better reflect advances in the understanding of the complex relationship between diet and cardiometabolic health.

Science begins for Smile - European Space Agency (ESA)
On 23 September, the European-Chinese Smile mission was declared ready to start revealing how Earth responds to the wind of charged particles from the Sun. This follows a busy in-space commissioning period since the spacecraft launched on 19 May and reached its target orbit for science operations on 20 June. A spacecraft never quite behaves the same in space as it does on the ground. Between 20 June and now, European and Chinese teams have been getting Smile ready – including deploying mechanisms, switching on units, checking all communications between the spacecraft and the ground, and fixing any issues that came up.

Melting Permafrost Is Poisoning Rivers With Metal Levels 70 Times Higher Than Normal - ScienceAlert
Over the past decade, a network of usually pristine blue rivers and lakes that winds through Alaska's breathtaking Brooks Range mountains has been starting to look a little… rusty. Scientists first noticed the unusual orange plumes flowing into the water back in 2018. They began to investigate, collecting water samples from various sites so remote they can only be accessed by helicopter – but at the time, they were only able to get a snapshot of what was going on. "The more we flew around, we started noticing more and more orange rivers and streams," said ecologist Jon O'Donnell, of the US National Park Service. "There are certain sites that look almost like a milky orange juice. "Taylor Evinger holds a bottle of orange water sampled from the Igning River in Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve in Alaska. (Brett Poulin/UC Davis)Environmental toxicologist Brett Poulin (of UC Davis) was intrigued at how similar the orange staining looked to the acidic pollution he had seen draining from metal mines.

Study connects food insecurity to mental health in young mothers - News-Medical
