On a clear afternoon late last May, Amy Yang leaned over the side of a small fishing boat. Her hands gripped a bow and arrow. She scanned the surface of Kentucky’s Cumberland River for telltale flickers of silver as the sky darkened. They’d been out for hours, and it was nearly dusk. She’d convinced her boyfriend to drive from her adopted hometown of Chicago to do this, and she didn’t want to miss her chance.She kept her gaze on the river. The boat bobbed along an especially unglamorous stretch of water, rocky banks dotted with the carp carcasses. “Smelly,” Yang…

The band of light illuminated the skies above Denmark on March 23. (Image credit: Ruslan Merzlyakov)A bright red streak of light appeared in the sky above parts of Scandinavia last week after a surprise solar storm smashed into Earth and triggered stunning auroras across the planet. But the bright red band was not an aurora — it was something much rarer. The streak, which appeared as a river of hazy red light that stretched all the way across the night sky, was most prominently visible above Denmark. Astrophotographer Ruslan Merzlyakov (opens in new tab) snapped a spectacular shot (opens in new…

A rapid spike in cases of a potentially deadly, drug-resistant fungus has concerned public health officials across the nation. But a team of Southern Nevada researchers hope their new study applying wastewater surveillance can help health officials get a step ahead of this emerging global public health threat. The Pathogen Problem Candida auris is a fungus that can cause serious infections, particularly in patients who are immunocompromised, have pre-existing health conditions, are in long-term healthcare settings, or are undergoing treatment with invasive medical devices such as a catheter. Infection prevention and control is challenging because the fungus can grow on…

Clairo unveiled the new charity single “For Now” via Bandcamp, with proceeds benefiting the non-profits For The Gworls, which supports Black, transgender people to cover rent, gender-affirming surgeries, and more, as well as Everytown, the coalition set on ending gun violence in the United States. The self-described demo, which the Boston singer-songwriter announced via Twitter on April Fools’ Day, offers few tricks but instead delivers a tender vocal take that embodies the fleeting bliss of a new romance. Backed by spare instrumentation aside from the keys-based bedrock and some light woodwind accompaniment, Clairo lets the devastation of her love’s limited…

Tariq has the biggest blind spot I have ever seen in the form of his girlfriend and best friend. It’s getting a little sad to see him hold them in such high regard each hour when they’re hiding this massive secret from him, and he’s placing all his trust in them. Tariq even went on one of his famous ‘I am NOT my father’ diatribes during Power Book II: Ghost Season 3 Episode 3, and while we’ve talked about whether that’s true or not to death, I’m not sure Ghost was ever so blindly loyal to anyone. He was far…
Scientists have a new idea to explain the strange behavior of ‘Oumuamua, our solar system’s first known interstellar visitor. In October 2017 astronomers first spotted the object by chance as it passed through the inner solar system on a slingshot trajectory around the sun that would send it soaring back out to interstellar space. The brief flyby offered only a few weeks for researchers to study ‘Oumuamua before it faded forever from view, leaving behind more questions than answers. Even now, more than five years after the object’s discovery, researchers are still struggling to make sense of the precious few…

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Australians generated at least $287.86 billion in value through unpaid social contributions in 2021, according to a new report from the University of Sydney’s Mental Wealth Initiative. The report, “A Contributing Life: A Snapshot of the Value of Social Production,” shines a spotlight on the unseen value Australians contribute to national prosperity in terms of social production—value that traditionally lies outside of the boundary of gross domestic product (GDP). Social production is made up of unpaid contributions to society through activities such as volunteering, the education and care of children, building community infrastructure, ecological restoration and…

Intense emotions are correlated with a change in our stomach’s pHGrace Cary/Moment RF/Getty Images Having a “gut feeling” about something may not just be a metaphor. New research suggests that feeling intense emotions is accompanied by changes to our stomach’s pH. Giuseppina Porciello at the Sapienza University of Rome and her colleagues asked 31 men with an average age of 24 to swallow a commercially available smart pill that measures pH, temperature and pressure in the gut. They then watched a series of videos that elicit disgust, fear and happiness while the … Read The Full Article Here

Evie Junior’s life has been defined by pain. He was born with sickle cell disease, which causes red blood cells to be sticky and C-shaped, not smooth and round. These cells are supposed to move freely through blood vessels, carrying oxygen to the body. But in people with this inherited form of anemia, they clump together and block blood flow. This triggers excruciating episodes known as pain crises, which can happen anywhere in the body and last for hours or even weeks. The disease damages organs over time and can cause strokes and early death. People with sickle cell are often…
