    I do not recall anything in my field being significant enough to enter popular press in 2024, but in 2023 the sad story of outbreak of sever silicosis among workers making countertops was a stark reminder of how well-known occupational hazards can come to haunt us (e.g. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/07/24/1189745247/silicosis-young-workers-kitchen-countertops-lung-damage-california).  The issue is global in nature -- this type of work is performed all over the world and the same risk are being reported as in the US -- and is still unresolved, as far as I know.

    In 2024, the field of pharmacology observed notable developments, particularly in the repurposing of GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide. Originally designed for type 2 diabetes management, these medications have demonstrated significant efficacy in promoting weight loss, leading to their approval for obesity treatment. This strategic repurposing has expedited treatment availability and reduced development costs, offering effective solutions for obesity management and associated health conditions.

    RECORD BREAKING GLOBAL TEMPERATURES

Experts identified diverse significant stories across scientific fields in 2024, with several notable themes emerging:

  • Neuroscience breakthroughs were highlighted by multiple experts, particularly the complete mapping of the adult fruit fly brain, mentioned by two respondents.
  • Climate change impacts received significant attention, with experts noting record-breaking global temperatures, effects on marine biodiversity, volcanic activity in Iceland, and connections to both physical and mental health.
  • Disease concerns were prominent, particularly bird flu spreading to dairy cattle and humans, with one expert noting the first human death and another highlighting risks to wild animals.
  • Artificial intelligence advancements appeared across disciplines, from Google's quantum chip to AI's ability to analyze scientific articles and predict protein structures (mentioned as Nobel Prize-worthy).
  • Medical breakthroughs included gene therapy for hemophilia, early biomarkers for neurological diseases, novel cardiac interventions, and repurposing GLP-1 drugs for obesity.

Interestingly, several experts (3) indicated there were no significant stories in their fields worth noting, showing disagreement about the pace or importance of developments across disciplines.
