BBC News

Police say a body has been found in the search for three men who were onboard a fishing boat that has gone missing off the Western Isles. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said the alarm was raised at about 21:20 on Tuesday when it emerged the boat was overdue from Lewis. A plane, two helicopters, two lifeboats and volunteers were making searches off the Port of Ness in north Lewis. Local councillor Kenneth Macleod said it was a very dark day for islanders, and their thoughts were with the families of the three men. Police Scotland said: The body of one of the men has been recovered, however formal identification is yet to take place.

Medieval leprosy hospital uncovered in Lincoln

BBC News

The walls of what is thought to be one of medieval England's earliest and largest leprosy hospitals have been uncovered in Lincoln by Time Team archaeologists. A three-day dig started on Friday on the South Common at the site of the Hospital of the Holy Innocents, which housed up to 20 people with leprosy around the late 11th to early 12th Centuries. Time Team's Prof Carenza Lewis said they had found traces of square features where it is thought people were housed, which haven't been excavated before, anywhere. The dig marks the beginning of a three-year project backed by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The remains of the building were found last year during a Local Landscapes and Hidden Histories project.

The 3,500-mile love story that started in an online horror game

BBC News

It is an online romance that has overcome a 3,500-mile distance, and also the Covid pandemic - which meant they had to get married virtually. Welsh cheesemaker Lewis Relfe struck up a relationship with Ameila Henderson, from Virginia, USA, while playing the Friday the 13th horror video game in 2017. She made a number of visits across the Atlantic, including one for six months, and he proposed on Aberystwyth Pier, dressed as the game's main character, Jason Voorhees. While they admit to seeing the humour in being the couple that met and married virtually, they now live together in Ceredigion, with daughter Evelyn. But because of parental responsibilities, they no longer get to enjoy the thing that brought them together.


Secrets of the sleep-deprived brain

MIT Technology Review

If you find it hard to focus after a wakeful night, it's because your brain is busy trying to catch up on crucial housekeeping. Nearly everyone has experienced it--after a night of poor sleep, your brain might seem foggy, and your mind drifts off when you should be paying attention. A new MIT study reveals what happens biologically as these momentary lapses occur: Your brain is performing essential maintenance that it usually takes care of while you sleep. During a normal night of sleep, the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that cushions the brain helps flush away metabolic waste that has built up during the day. In a 2019 study, MIT electrical engineering and computer science professor Laura Lewis, PhD '14, and colleagues showed that the CSF flows rhythmically in and out in a way that's linked to changes in brain waves. To explore what might happen to this CSF flow in a sleep-deprived brain, Lewis, who is also a member of MIT's Institute for Medical Engineering and Science, and her colleagues tested 26 volunteers on several cognitive tasks after they'd been kept awake in the lab and when they were well-rested.
