Animals
🐟 Grey seal pups were born early this year at South Walney Nature Reserve in Cumbria, with the first one spotted on 31 August instead of October.
🌊 Usually, the pups arrive from October to mid-November, but this year’s early births are surprising scientists and nature watchers.
❄️ Conservationists think the early seal pups could be linked to climate change, sea conditions, or moving from other places where pups are born earlier.
🐾 More early seal pup sightings have also been reported in Cornwall and the Isle of Man, showing it might be happening all over the UK.
📹 People cannot go on the beach to protect the seals, but a special seal camera lets everyone watch them online safely.
Fun Fact About Seals!
Did you know that baby seals are called pups, just like baby dogs? And here's something super cool seal mothers can recognize their own pup's voice among hundreds of other seal pups, just like how your mom can pick out your voice in a crowded playground!

MIT News - 25.09.25
New AI system could accelerate clinical research
MIT researchers developed an interactive, AI-based system that enables users to rapidly annotate areas of interest in new biomedical imaging datasets, without training a machine-learning model in advance. As the user uploads new images, the number of interactions needed to accurately segment the image drops, eventually to zero, enabling rapid annotation of the entire dataset.
🧠 Scientists at MIT made a smart computer tool that helps doctors study body scans, like brain pictures, much faster.
✍️ Normally, doctors have to carefully draw around parts of the body in scans by hand, which takes a very long time.
🤖 This new AI tool lets them just click, scribble, or draw boxes, and the computer quickly learns to do the rest.
⚡ The more images the computer sees, the smarter it gets eventually, it can work on its own with almost no help.
🌍 This can help doctors find new treatments, speed up research, and even plan better care for patients, saving time and money.

Science
🐬 Scientists in Australia are testing new materials for wetsuits that can help protect people from shark bites.
Normal shark proof suits are made of metal, which is very heavy and hard to move in, especially for surfers.
⚓ The new suits use strong, light rope-like fibers, similar to those used in sailing, making them both flexible and protective.
🏝️ Shark bites don’t happen often, but they can worry beach towns that rely on tourists, so safer suits could help.
👨🔬 Tests showed the new materials can reduce damage from shark bites better than the usual neoprene wetsuits, which could make swimming, surfing, and diving much safer in the future.

Amazing Fun Facts You Didn't Know!
Octopuses Have Three Hearts
Two hearts pump blood to their gills, and one pumps blood to the rest of their body. The main heart actually stops beating when they swim, which is why they prefer crawling!
Honey Never Goes Bad
Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and still perfectly edible! Honey's low water content and acidic pH make it impossible for bacteria to survive.
Bananas Are Berries
Botanically speaking, bananas are berries, but strawberries aren't! A berry must have seeds inside its flesh, which bananas do (those tiny black specks) but strawberries have seeds on the outside.
