The quest to keep organs alive outside the body
This week, I covered a fascinating effort to preserve organs outside the body. There’s a huge shortage of donor organs, and one of the main reasons is time—they survive only a matter of hours outside the body, even when they’re kept on ice. Doctors dream of organ banks—stores of human organs that can be preserved…

How Much Water Do You Actually Need? A Science-Backed Hydration Guide
Quick Answer The "8 glasses a day" rule was never a research finding — it originated from a 1945 recommendation that was widely misquoted. How much water you actually need depends on your body weight, activity level, and climate. Most adults are mildly dehydrated for most of the day without knowing it, because thirst only activates after a 1–2% fluid deficit is already established — the same level at which mood, concentration, and physical performance are measurably impaired in controlled trials. This article covers what the science actually says about your personal hydration target, what happens at different levels of dehydration, and when drinking too much becomes a real concern. Use the calculator at the end to find your number. The "8 Glasses a Day" Rule Has No Scientific Basis The origin of the 8×8 rule (eight 8-ounce glasses per day) is commonly traced to a 1945 Food and Nutrition Board recommendation that adults need roughly 2.5 litres of water daily — but the same document immediately noted that most of this quantity is already contained in food. The "drink 8 glasses" takeaway dropped the second half of the sentence entirely. The actual evidence-based reference comes from the Institute of Medicine's 2004 Dietary Reference Intakes report, which set adequate intake at 3.7 litres total water per day for men and 2.7 litres for women — including all sources: beverages, food, and metabolic water from digestion. Since roughly 20% typically comes from food (particularly fruits and vegetables), the drinking target comes out to approximately 2.5–3 litres for men and 1.8–2.2 litres for women at baseline — before accounting for anything that changes it.
