The national average…#iowa #arkansas #pattistobaughs #universityofarkansas #thompson #lusk #emilymetz #omaha #jadathomson #stobaugh

Armed with air samplers, rope tricks, and —yes—ants, virus hunters spot threats in new ways
On a Friday morning in September last year, Erik Karlsson visited the sprawling Orussey market here, where vendors hawked pots and pans, phone cords and radios, hats and dresses—and myriad types of Southeast Asian food. Dozens of orange-colored, whole roasted pigs hung on hooks, crabs the size of two fists filled buckets, and stacked fruit and dried fish formed mountains on tables.
Karlsson had come for the live poultry, but not because he was planning a dinner. As an epidemiologist at Cambodia’s Pasteur Institute, he was hunting for potentially dangerous pathogens, both known and unknown. He had nothing with him ...

If aliens contact humanity, who decides what we do next?
Scientists setting up ‘post-detection hub’ in Scotland are concerned humans would react ‘like headless chickens’The moment has been imagined a thousand times.

Shocking new research suggests that Big Pharma’s drive to hook you on statin drugs could be a major culprit behind the explosion of Alzheimer’s cases across America and Europe.
I’m not surprised.
The medical establishment has been waging war against cholesterol for decades. Millions of people have been frightened into believing that high cholesterol levels equal heart disease – unless they follow doctors’ orders and pop statins every day.

Hemp may get cows high, but will their milk do the same to you?

It also raises concerns about whether the active ingredient in marijuana can enter the human food supply through the milk of blazed bovines.
