Of all the deadly diseases that can spread from mammals to humans, rabies is the most infamous. Cujo had it. Old Yeller had it. A squirrel in “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” had it. Unfortunately, this virus doesn’t only live in fiction. It kills at least 59,000 people a year and is present in over 150

For scientists, thoughts about democracy can feel distant from their work. Yet, around the world, governments are limiting academic freedom and interfering with decisions about what research is funded and who performs it1. Some scientists are also facing politically motivated interference and attacks2. Six principles for supporting academic freedom in universities As members of the

Archaeologists have identified a previously undocumented ingredient used in ancient Egyptian mummifications—and a famous medieval medicine concocted from the mummies themselves. At Germany’s Marburg University, researchers pinpointed traces of aloe-associated plant material in a 2,700-year-old mummy skull, and a popular centuries’ old apothecary cure-all known as Mumia vera aegyptiaca. There is no one way to

Tropical cyclone activity in the Northwest Pacific Basin has been elevated since April 2026, when Sinlaku surged to super typhoon strength and battered Micronesia, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Twenty-five named storms later, the basin still hummed with activity in late October. When the EPIC (Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera) on the DSCOVR (Deep Space Climate
