"Take a Deep Breath. If You Dare." In “Air-Borne,” his detailed and gripping account of aerobiology, Carl Zimmer uncovers the mysteries filling our lungs. [Illustration with viruses and people in masks]

"Air-Borne shows us the ways seeing where we live means listening deeply — and being prepared to see what’s perhaps never been seen.“ Grateful for this perceptive review from Robert Sullivan in the New York Times Book Review. Gift link: nyti.ms/3XAWM9E

Over 3 million hens in one flock lost to avian influenza The latest cases of avian flu reported by APHIS include turkeys and ducks in Indiana and layers in Ohio.

A question I hear asked a lot is, How can bird flu be having such a dramatic impact? Here's part of the answer: The farms where eggs are produced are massively dense — millions of birds on a property. Thus millions lost or culled at once if the flu arrives. www.wattagnet.com/poultry-meat...

Our results show that a common argument against #QALYs (based on the use of subgroup analyses) is not justified with empirical data.

Extreme Environments: Lessons from Ocean Depths Adaptations of the Heart: Comparative Responses to Diving and Hypoxia Across Species…Many physiological mechanisms have evolved in living organisms to cope with extreme environments, including high altitudes or deep ocean depths. These include changes in oxygen transport and utilization, metabolic adjustments, strategies to retain heat in cold conditions, adaptations to withstand high pressure, mechanisms for surviving in darkness, and efficient energy use to cope with limited food availability.

What better way to kick off our BlueSky than with a deep dive into science?🌊🔬

Our latest article, Extreme Environments: Lessons from Ocean Depths, explores how whale hearts adapt to deep-sea pressures🐋
