Watch: Russian scientists produce watermelons at ‘coldest place on Earth’

Russian scientists have successfully grown watermelons at the Vostok Station in Antarctica, which is considered the coldest place on Earth. The experiment was conducted by researchers from the Russian Antarctic Expedition of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute. They created a greenhouse at the station and created conditions favorable for watermelon production by increasing air temperature and humidity. This breakthrough could lead to the cultivation of other fruits such as blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries in the challenging Antarctic environment.

Tim Friede: Man bitten by snakes hundreds of times helps create broad antivenom

Tim Friede, a self-taught snake enthusiast, endured hundreds of venomous bites, enabling researchers to develop a potentially groundbreaking antivenom. His unique antibodies could help treat snakebite victims globally, particularly in India, by neutralizing toxins across multiple snake species.
