Public research university in Perth, Australia, part of the Group of Eight, with strengths spanning medicine, marine science and engineering.
UWA researchers found a 30-minute hot bath lowered blood pressure more than 30 minutes of cycling in 25 adults with overweight or obesity. The authors offer passive heat as an option for people who cannot exercise regularly and caution against reading it as better than exercise.

Luke Tomlin's team reviewed 247 sources from 42 countries and found mindfulness-based programmes among the most consistently positive for teacher well-being. School leaders now know which formats have the longest track record and how to deliver them, but the release does not report how large the benefits were.

Exercise physiologist Kristanti Wigati and colleagues found 30 minutes in 40C water lowered blood pressure more than 30 minutes of cycling in 25 adults. The single-session result, from people who could also manage the bike, supports testing heat therapy in those who cannot exercise.
Reality
Mapping, geophysical surveys and sediment analysis link shallow trenches up to 20 kilometres long to caves collapsing beneath them. The authors offer the faint surface sag as a way to find voids in other dry landscapes, Mars included.
Reality
A matched comparison of 471 burn patients found shorter stays and half the complication rate with intact cod skin. The trial now running does not test that comparison.

A Sydney firm's Translation Readiness Index ranks papers by how closely their titles and abstracts resemble patent-linked work. It is now being tested with several universities.
