An uninhabited island in the South Atlantic Ocean is surprisingly covered in plastic bottles. Scientists are inclined to believe it means ships are dumping plastic litter far from its origin. Researchers from South Africa and Canada monitored volumes of plastic litter that have drifted to Inaccessible Island. This remote island sits in the middle of […]

Urban land development – not “climate change”– has resulted in shorter, more intense wet seasons in Florida
Cities and other urban areas are experiencing shorter, more intense wet seasons than underdeveloped and rural areas – but it’s not because of climate change. A recent study from Florida State University showed a trend of decreasing wet-season length in Florida’s urban areas due to changing land cover over the past few decades. However, seasonal rainfall accumulation was […]

Plastic face shields can’t prevent COVID-19 transmission, experts warn
Plastic face shields have become a popular alternative to face masks throughout the pandemic. Besides being less restrictive than a face mask, a face shield allows people to see the wearer’s mouth. This helps people who are hard of hearing understand the wearer better when communicating. However, new research reveals that a face shield does not […]

Coronavirus immunity may last for at least six months after infection
COVID-19 reinfection is highly unlikely for at least six months after the last infection, according to a study by researchers from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. The study, published on Nov. 19 as a pre-print, offers valuable insight into COVID-19 immunity that has so far stumped scientists. The findings also confirm that infection provides short-term […]

Cravings for social contact mimic hunger in the brain, study reveals
Loneliness can trigger “cravings” for social interaction in the brain just as hunger can trigger cravings for food, according to a study led by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The study, published recently in Nature Neuroscience, revealed that after only one day of isolation, the thought of social interaction stimulates the same brain region activated during hunger cravings. […]

Scientists develop new method for easily measuring pesticides in honey
Common insecticides believed to threaten the health and survival of honeybees can be easily detected in honey, thanks to a novel technique developed by scientists from the University of Waterloo in Canada. The fully automated technique, called the solid-phase microextraction (SPME) method, helps scientists extract pyrethroids from honey, which has been previously difficult to do. Pyrethroid insecticides are believed to cause the […]

Higher plant biodiversity may help discourage the use of pesticides, reveals study
Plant biodiversity serves as a natural method for controlling pests and can potentially reduce the need for environmentally harmful pesticides, according to a recent study. Researchers from the German Center for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) revealed in their report that plant communities with diverse species support insect predator populations while depriving the pests themselves of their preferred food sources. Their […]

Wearing face masks can trigger eczema flare-ups in people with sensitive skin, warn scientists
Face masks worn to reduce Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) transmission can trigger eczema flare-ups in people with sensitive skin and allergies. These are the findings of a recent case study presented at this year’s virtual scientific meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI). The case study involved a Black man aged 60 […]

Close the lid: New research shows how flushing a toilet can send coronavirus aerosols into the air
Here’s one more bathroom behavior you should pay attention to in order to prevent coronavirus transmission: flushing the toilet. In a recent study commissioned by the U.K.-based toilet cleaner company Harpic, researchers used high-speed cameras to capture the explosion of aerosol particles sprayed into the air when a toilet is flushed with the lid up. The striking images show a firework display of aerosol particles flung […]
