They also reported more major medical problems and were more likely to report delaying medical, dental and mental health care and using less medication than the amount prescribed to save money. We reported these findings in an article published in the Journal of American College Health. The findings are based on surveys collected in 2017 from over 3,200 college students at two public universities in the United States. We asked students to rate their physical and mental health on a 4-point scale – excellent, good, fair and poor. We also asked if they had experienced any major medical problems in the past year or whether they had ever postponed medical, dental or mental health care to make ends meet since starting college. Those who indicated they were taking regular medication for physical health problems, such as for asthma or high blood pressure, were asked if they ever took less medication than prescribed to save money.

Previously, scientists have generated young mice and frogs with no genetic input from a male parent. But those offspring were made by tinkering with egg cells in laboratory dishes rather than by giving female animals the capacity for virgin birth, also known as parthenogenesis.

But other researchers have doubts about the accuracy of the projections. The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a large system of ocean currents that acts like a conveyor belt, carrying warm water from the tropics into the North Atlantic. Scientists have already warned that climate change is weakening the AMOC and say the system could potentially collapse in the future – an outcome heavily dramatised in the film The Day After Tomorrow.
