Richard Vaughan+FollowHerpes Can Hack Your DNA in 1 Hour?!Mind blown: scientists just found out that herpes (yep, the virus behind cold sores) can literally rewrite your DNA in under an hour after infection. It’s not just hijacking your cells—it’s making permanent changes to your genome to help itself multiply. The wild part? Over two-thirds of people under 50 carry it, even if you never see symptoms. But there’s hope: researchers found an enzyme that might stop this DNA takeover. Science is wild! #HerpesVirus #DNA #ScienceNews #Science30Share
Matthew Kirk+FollowWild Dogs’ Secret Snack List RevealedTurns out African wild dogs aren’t as picky as we thought! Scientists used DNA from their poop (yep, really) and found these endangered pups eat way more than just impalas—think birds, hares, even vlei rats. Sometimes they hunt solo for smaller snacks, not just in packs for big game. This new tech is changing what we know about their survival skills and could help keep them around longer. Who knew poop could spill so many secrets? #WildlifeWednesday #Conservation #AfricanWildDogs #ScienceNews #DNA #WildlifeResearch #Pets62Share
