What It Will Take to Avoid a Tripledemic This Winter
Over the coming months, more than 100,000 Americans will likely die, mostly unnecessarily, from respiratory infections. Yes, that is the reality we are now facing this fall and winter—and likely every fall and winter for the foreseeable future. Unless we act. Between flu, COVID-19, and RSV, we are likely looking at a very large number of Americans getting sick, ending up in the hospital, and dying. Most of these Americans will be our most vulnerable: older Americans, the youngest children, and those with chronic diseases. And that number of 100,000 may be an underestimate, given that many of these infections go undet...

No brain, no problem. Jellyfish learn just fine
When it comes to learned behavior, even the simplest minds are capable of advanced thought. The Caribbean box jellyfish ( Tripedalia cystophora ), which doesn’t even have a brain, can alter its behavior based on past experiences, new research reveals. Scientists believe the creature uses this learning ability along with its astoundingly complex visual system to navigate the murky mangrove swamps it calls home. Scientists have known for some time that animals in the phylum Cnidaria—which includes jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones—are capable of basic forms of learning when repeatedly presented with a stim...

Americas ’ first cowboys were enslaved Africans, ancient cow DNA suggests
Think “cowboy,” and you might picture John Wayne riding herd across the U.S. West. But the first cowboys lived in Mexico and the Caribbean, and most of them were Black . That’s the conclusion of a recent analysis of DNA from 400-year-old cow bones excavated on the island of Hispaniola and at sites in Mexico. The work, published in Scientific Reports , also provides evidence that African cattle made it to the Americas at least a century earlier than historians realized. The timing of these African imports—to the early 1600s—suggests the growth of cattle herds may have been connected to the s...

Jellyfish show how you don ’t need a brain to learn, say researchers
Adjustment of behaviour shown in study suggests learning is integral function of neuronsJellyfish change their behaviour based on past experiences, researchers have revealed, in a study that suggests learning could be a fundamental property of the way nerve cells work.Unlike humans, jellyfish do not have a central brain. However, box jellyfish have clusters of neurons associated with the creatures ’ eye-like structures, known as rhopalia, with this system acting as the visual information processing centre.Continue reading...
