David Attenborough Turns 100, Dinosaurs May Have Existed For 10 Million Years With No Clear Fossils, And Much More This Week

Summary: This week in science, there is a lot to celebrate and investigate! The legendary nature documentary maker David Attenborough just turned 100 years old. In health news, RFK Jr. recently claimed that human brains now contain a "spoonful" of microplastics. This bold statement highlights a new $144 million government program designed to study and remove plastics from our bodies.

In another major medical breakthrough, doctors successfully produced sperm using testicular tissue that had been frozen for nearly 20 years, offering new hope for childhood cancer survivors. Meanwhile, researchers believe dinosaurs may have roamed the Earth 10 million years earlier than our oldest fossils show. Finally, physicists are even exploring the wild idea of using black holes to send messages back in time!
