It may be old news also, but I thought the discussion on the dating of cells (in the linked article) was really interesting. In a nutshell, doctors take advantage of the Carbon spike in the atmosphere (and, consequently, plants and animals) caused by above-ground nuke testing in the 50s to determine the age of cells.
I mean, it’s obvious the dudes standing in the bunkers watching the explosions were going to feel some effects, but I never suspected it would be evident in my fat cells 50 years later.
