The U.S. Scientist At the Heart of COVID-19 Lab Leak Conspiracies Is Still Trying to Save the World From the Next Pandemic
Ralph Baric stepped onto the auditorium stage at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and looked out at the sparse audience that had come to hear him speak. On the large projector screen hanging behind him, the following words appeared: How Bad the Next Pandemic Could Be, What Might It Look Like, and Will We be Ready. The date was May 29, 2018. “Well, I have to admit I’m a little worried about giving this talk,” Baric said. “The reason is being labelled a harbinger of doom.” The screen shifted, and images of the four horsemen of the apocalypse—Death, Famine, War, and Plague&mda...

Human Adaptation to Heat Can ’t Keep Up With Human-Caused Climate Change
The last time the Earth was hotter than it is today was at least 125,000 years ago, long before anything that resembled human civilization appeared. Since 1970, the Earth’s temperature has spiked faster than in any comparable forty-year period in recorded history. The eight years between 2015 and 2022 were the hottest on record. In 2022, 850 million people lived in regions that experienced all-time high temperatures. Globally, killer heat waves are becoming longer, hotter, and more frequent. One study found that a heat wave like the one that cooked the Pacific Northwest in 2021 is 150 times more likely today than it ...

Half-billion-year-old sea squirt could push back origins of vertebrates, including humans
In 2019, a finger-size fossil landed on the desk of Karma Nanglu, a paleontologist at Harvard University who specializes in the Cambrian and Ordovician periods, when many of today’s animal forms made their entrance. The specimen had sat for years in the drawer of a Salt Lake City museum; its finders, who had pulled it from a fossil-rich layer of Cambrian limestone in western Utah, thought it might be a sea squirt or tunicate—a marine invertebrate that shares a distant ancestor with all vertebrates. Nanglu was excited but cautious at the prospect of a very ancient tunicate: “That’s a group for which there is essenti...
