Studies that map the adaptive value of viral mutations hint at how the COVID-19 pandemic might progress next. Mathematically modeled “landscapes” that describe the relative fitness of various mutations can in theory be used to project how SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses could evolve in the future.

Air pollution exposure linked to poor academics in childhood

Children exposed to elevated levels of air pollution may be more likely to have poor inhibitory control during late childhood and poor academic skills in early adolescence, including spelling, reading comprehension, and math skills. Difficulty with inhibition in late childhood was found to be a precursor to later air pollution-related academic problems. Interventions that target

How a fly’s brain calculates its position in space

Navigation doesn’t always go as planned — a lesson that flies learn the hard way, when a strong headwind shunts them backward in defiance of their forward-beating wings. Fish swimming upriver, crabs scuttling sideways, and even humans hanging a left while looking to the right contend with similar challenges. How the brain calculates an animal’s
