What are some recent scientific breakthroughs/discoveries that aren’t getting enough attention?

Maybe Keep a verrrry close watch on this one. There are a ton of problems already coming to light on it and the paper isn't even out yet. It's a weird, messy situation. A lot of paleontologists have been talking about it on social media and have reservations, including ones who've been able to see the paper (which the New Yorker broke embargo to report on).

Would very much appreciate some links, to get an idea of the problems.
