H5N1 influenza virus stability and transmission risk in raw milk and cheese - Nature Medicine The pathogenic avian flu H5N1 virus remains stable in raw milk and throughout the cheese-making process, but contaminated cheese fed to ferrets did not lead to infection, whereas raw milk did.

This seems an eye-catching finding. H5N1 flu viruses - like the avian influenza H5N1 virus infecting dairy cattle in the US – can persist in cheese made from contaminated raw milk. Raw milk-cheeses include Cheddar, Comté and Parmigiano Reggiano, to name but a few. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

California is the manufacturing capital of America, period.

We create more jobs, produce more goods, and drive more innovation than anywhere else in the country — because what gets built in California shapes the future and powers the U.S. economy.

The dual mechanisms of LLMs in shaping individual creativity in tasks of different complexity

💭 AI can boost or block creativity, depending on task complexity

A new study found LLMs spark creativity in simple tasks but hinder it in complex ones. Constraining AI output helps restore balance.

Fascism:

Round up and arrest innocent people by racial profiling, immigrants and US citizens alike.
Use maximun brutality and destroy their homes.

When protests errupt, use Tear gas, Chemical agents and violence on them.

Blame the violence on the protesters and send in the National Guard.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

Climate Ages Where Fossils and Climate Meet Climate Ages grew out of a love for science and a desire to keep sharing it in a way that’s accessible to everyone. After stepping away from academia, we found…

Who will inspire the next generation? 🌍

Storytellers once made me fall in love with nature & all its creatures
Now I want to do the same: share stories that spark wonder & care

That’s why I launched the Climate Ages YouTube channel.

Toxic wastewater from dormant West Texas oil wells has alarmed residents. A @bloomberg.com investigation found that the reasons for the leaks may jeopardize fossil fuel development across the Permian basin. Heather DeShon , professor of geophysics at SMU, was one of the experts interviewed. 🧪🌎

BREAKING: Just hours before the fiscal year ended, a federal judge in R.I. has ordered the Trump administration to preserve $233 million in FEMA funds it attempted to abruptly steer away from 8 blue states.

Without that order, the states would've lost the money at midnight.

Listen to healthcare professionals. Your healthcare costs are going up. The President and Congress can do something to help—will they deliver for the American people?
