Sources, image credits & refresh status
Selected publisher coverage, not worldwide coverage. Checks run while the page is visible; shared results are cached for 15 minutes. Publishers set their own release schedules. Images appear only where reuse can be established; other stories link to the publisher’s media.

Scope & availability
Publisher headlines are checked on visits and every 15 minutes while the page is visible, with a shared 15-minute cache. Original publication dates and source retrieval times are shown separately. The literature lookup covers biomedical and life-science research.
Separate the announcement from the finding
An announcement may describe a paper, a product, a funding decision or an intention. Identify what actually happened before assessing its significance. A press release and an independent study are not equivalent sources.
Check the original date and whether the reported development is new or a reappearance of an older result.
Ask how much the evidence supports
Read beyond the headline: what was studied, against which comparison, with what uncertainty? A laboratory result can be important without being ready for widespread use.
Avoid translating relative effects into practical benefits without the baseline, or generalizing from a small, specialized study to everyone.
Look for context and corrections
Compare the claim with related work and identify whether it confirms, challenges or extends previous understanding. Follow the original record for revisions and corrections.
A current record is not automatically the best evidence. Reviews, replications and methodological critiques can be essential even when they are older.
Share an update responsibly
Link to the original source, label preprints and distinguish the authors’ conclusions from your interpretation. State what remains unknown and avoid personal medical or financial recommendations.
To suggest a story, send a public source and the question it raises. Do not submit unverified rumors as established developments.
