Not sure what you're looking for with 'new information', but here's a link to a Google Scholar search with a variety of articles published in the last year.

Just skimming it, gut microbiome, surface temperature, and age are all factors.

No, quite the opposite actually! It was meant more as a complaint about the need for change in that area being constantly undermined by capitalist interests but I can see how it came across that way :(

Tackling wealth inequality is why we keep getting further polarized. Everything is either about maintaining the status quo, or challenging it. It's very clearly not the best thing, but I don't think we can stop at this point.

Yeah, I agree. For me (a trans woman) it'd make me slightly uncomfortable if somebody capitalised my pronouns each time because I'd feel like some type of power dynamic that's not comfortable for me to sit in. If that's not an issue for OP, that's okay, but with my specific cultural background i'd find it a bit difficult to interact with Them in that way (not that it's hard for me to respect Their pronouns, just that it's slightly uncomfortable in a power dynamic way)

Mine is Becky Chambers. I've just finished rereading all of her work, and it gave me the exact same feeling of hope I had the first time. Not groundbreaking, but soul-feeding.

That sounds... terrifying. I'm not sure I could even spectate.
