Analysis suggests 2021 Texas abortion ban resulted in increase in infant deaths in state in year after law went into effect.
Researchers use statistical modeling to estimate infant deaths expected if one of country's most stringent state abortion laws had not been enacted.
Infant deaths in Texas rose from 1,985 to 2,240, a year-over-year increase of 255 deaths.
Infant deaths from accidents increased by 21 percent in Texas versus a one percent increase in the rest of the U.S. The researchers are currently studying the impact across socioeconomic groups that abortion bans have on live births and infant mortality in Texas and other states that banned abortion following Dobbs.

University of WisconsinMadison engineers have developed low-cost sensors that allow for real-time, continuous monitoring of nitrate in soil types that are common in Wisconsin.
These printed electrochemical sensors could enable farmers to make better informed nutrient management decisions and reap economic benefits.
The researchers' new sensors could also be used as an agricultural research tool to monitor nitrate leaching.

Mitochondria supply energy to the brain, and the molecular machinery used by mitochondria to transform energy is boosted in older adults who experienced less psychological stress during their lives.
This is the first time that subjective psychosocial experiences have been related to brain biology.
In animal studies, the evidence is very strong that chronic stress affects mitochondrial energy transformation.
We need tests that show how healthy and resilient someone is, says Caroline Trumpff.
"This would be valuable clinically to monitor changes in health before the appearance of disease," she says.
"It could transform medical research by giving scientists something to target other than decades of accumulated protein deposits or other forms of long-term damage".

Climate change "is the principal driver of the global increases in wildfire," says Bendix.
With the world warming from climate change, Tyukavina said, “the catastrophic years are probably going to be happening more often” The catastrophic years “are probably going.
to happen more often and we are going to see those spikier years more often,” he says.
