Antibiotic resistant pathogens moving from pigs to people.

Antidepressant science is backwards.

"The low-serotonin theory is the basis for commonly prescribed anti-depressant medications called selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which keep the neurotransmitter’s levels high by blocking its re-absorption into the cells that release it.
Those serotonin-boosting medications actually make it harder for patients to recover, especially in the short term, says lead author Paul Andrews, an assistant professor of Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour at McMaster."

No surprise there.
