Last update: 3 hours agoTeacher Wellbeing: During Teachers’ Week, veteran Praslin educator Nadege Medor took part in a workshop on teachers’ health, wellbeing and resilience. She is marking 40 years in education. Longevity Research: Scientists studying Jonathan, a Seychelles-native Aldabra giant tortoise estimated to be 194, found genetic features linked to DNA repair and cellular energy systems that may help explain his exceptional lifespan. The findings could guide future aging research, but do not yet offer proven ways to extend human life.

Researchers say the higher figure reflects improved counting, not necessarily a recent surge — and does not mean the species is safe.
