StudyFinds
Online/Digital
StudyFinds sets out to find new research that speaks to mass audiences — without all the scientific jargon. The stories we publish are digestible, summarized versions of research that are intended to stir debate: We do not agree nor disagree with any of the studies we post, rather, we encourage our readers to debate the veracity of the findings themselves.
All studies and surveys published on StudyFinds are vetted by our editors for proper and unbiased research methods. We are always transparent in who funded or is behind each article. Any research that has been retracted we will retract from our site with a correction. Should there be any content found inaccurate or erroneous, we will always issue corrections.
Launched in December 2016, StudyFinds.org has quickly jumped onto the daily news scene with coverage of high-interest studies for the general population. Each day we seek out recently-conducted research released by universities, peer-reviewed journals, or established companies, with sources vetted by our experienced editorial team. Source

Search ArticlesMorning Or Night? What The Research Actually Says About When To Take Blood Pressure Medication
(Credit: © Natee Meepian - stock.adobe.com) No universal edge: Two major trials found no meaningful cardiovascular advantage from routinely taking daily blood pressure medication at bedtime. One trial stood apart: Spain’s Hygia trial reported a 45% lower relative risk of major cardiovascular events with bedtime dosing, a result that independent trials did not reproduce.
Hormone Behind PMS May Do More To The Brain Than Scientists Realized
(Credit: eldar nurkovic on Shutterstock) Women with higher natural progesterone levels showed less distinct brain activity patterns in a region tied to controlling emotional reactions, called the lateral frontal pole. That weaker brain signal was connected to worse mood over the previous week, and it appeared to fully account for the link between progesterone and mood.
Moon’s Billion Tons of Water Would Only Last a City 100 Years
(Credit: Photo by Alones on Shutterstock) A billion tons of lunar water sounds massive but would only support a city of one million people for about 100 years, even with recycling as efficient as the International Space Station’s, which reclaims about 98% of its water. Power is not the limiting factor for a lunar settlement; solar arrays or nuclear reactors could realistically supply enough electricity for a city-sized population.
Do Dogs Actually Feel Guilty? The Research Says Something Different
(© Photoboyko - stock.adobe.com) The “guilty” look tracks human reactions. In Alexandra Horowitz’s 2009 experiment with 14 pet dogs, scolding affected the display, while eating the forbidden treat did not. Appeasement offers a simpler reading. Looking away, lowering posture and lip licking can help manage tension, although their meaning depends on the full situation. Neutral owners could not reliably tell.
2 Billion Pounds of Breast Cancer-Linked Chemicals Hit US Air in 2020
(Credit: © Feng Yu - stock.adobe.com) Researchers tracked 920 chemicals linked to breast cancer risk through US government records on production, use, and pollution to see where Americans actually encounter them. Billions of pounds of these chemicals were emitted into the air in 2020, and 143 of them were manufactured or imported in quantities topping 1 million pounds in 2019.
Death Rates for Americans Ages 25-44 Jumped 71% in Just Over a Decade
(Credit: Photo by Bonsales on Shutterstuck) Death rates for Americans ages 25 to 44 shot up 71.2% between 2010 and 2021, the largest jump of any age group. Drug overdoses became the single leading cause of death for young adults, with the overdose death rate multiplying seven times over since 1999. U.S. life expectancy now ranks 38th in the world, and some states have life expectancy lower than North Korea or Syria.
Blacktip Sharks Hear Sound From More Than 200 Feet Away, Study Finds
Blacktip sharks provided researchers with a rare opportunity to observe free-swimming sharks in clear, shallow water off Southeast Florida. (Credit: Stephen Kajiura, Florida Atlantic University) Blacktip sharks turned sharply away and swam off fast after hearing low-pitched pulsing sounds from distances scientists previously thought were beyond a shark’s hearing range.
How Earth’s Magnetic Field Could Play Hidden Role In Aging
Earth's magnetic field, the Magnetosphere (© aapsky - stock.adobe.com) Fruit flies carrying a Parkinson’s-linked gene defect (Pink1) lived longer when moved at 20 days old into a shield that removed nearly all of Earth’s magnetic field; the authors report a 20% lifespan gain. Those same longer-lived flies climbed worse, while shielded healthy flies climbed better, showing opposite responses depending on the flies’ underlying health.
The Science Of When A Joke Actually Helps With Depression
(Credit: © contrastwerkstatt - stock.adobe.com) Humor appears to help lift depression mainly during recovery, remission, or mild episodes, not during severe ones. A severe depressive episode can shut down the brain’s reward circuits, leaving little feeling for a joke that once worked. Structured programs like the 7 Humor Habits Program and simple journaling exercises show measurable benefits for people who are stable enough to engage with them.
The Way Dogs Listen To Us Could Be More Remarkable Than We Knew
A clingy German Shepherd laying on its owner's lap (Photo by AnnaStills on Shutterstock) Dogs’ brains locked onto consonant patterns in a made-up language almost the way human brains do, according to new EEG research. Vowel patterns didn’t register the same way for dogs, even though vowels are physically louder than consonants in speech. The effect showed up in dogs adopted early and in those adopted later, suggesting it doesn’t depend on a narrow window in puppyhood.
