Our online workshop series, The Science of Vaping, kicked off today with "Are Flavored E-Cigarettes Harmful?"
Great group of educators who are enthusiastic to learn about the health risks of vaping.

Our University of Rochester colleagues were part of the early (and the ongoing) research on the health effects of 9/11. ❤️🩹
“The World Trade Center research is part of a long legacy of environmental health research at URochester, where scientists have worked for decades to understand how environmental exposures—including air pollution and other airborne toxicants—affect human health."

Hummingbird feeders are a beloved pastime for millions of backyard birders and a convenient dining spot for the birds. But for the Anna’s hummingbird, a common species in the western United States, feeders have become a major evolutionary force.
According to research published last year, artificial feeders have allowed the birds to expand their range out of Southern California up to the state’s northern end.
They have also driven a transformation of the birds themselves. Over just a few generations, their beaks have dramatically changed in size and shape.

This year, emergency room visits for tick bites have increased dramatically, corresponding with a new threat: a rise in Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), where one bite from a lone star tick can make you violently allergic to red meat.
David @Pogue looks at how residents of Martha Vineyard are addressing an epidemic of Alpha-gal, and talks with experts about how best to avoid tick bites. cbsn.ws/4c7IQvk
“But even as evidence of microplastics in our bodies mounts, it’s not clear how they affect our health.”

“Climate change, suburbanization and increasingly overlapping populations of people, mice and deer have led to more days each year when you might run into a tick, more places where you might have that encounter and more health problems it might inflict.”
