This is what the brain clock likes to follow, and that ultimately influences all kinds of biological processes and behaviors, most notably when we wake up and go to bed. This can feel crummy and can have far-reaching consequences for our health, depending on how long it lasts. The latest frontier in this research focuses on metabolic syndrome or diabetes.

FRST is an online national soil fertility database funded and hosted by the USDA. When complete, it will include past and present soil test data from researchers across the United States, including phosphorous and potassium levels, locations, soil type, fertilization trends, and yield outcomes for specific crops. Tao’s eventual goal with this research is to develop a software that can easily generate these strategies for farmers.

A new study has found something unexpected and scientists aren’t yet sure how to explain it. More than three decades ago, a team of researchers undertook a project near Moosehead Lake to document how songbirds were being affected by commercial forest practices including clearcutting. They found that birds and logging can coexist as long as there are different ages and types of trees present across a large landscape. But, in 2019 concern about birds reached a fever pitch.

Total solar eclipses happen when the moon passes directly in front of the sun, plunging narrow bands of the Earth into darkness as the moon’s shadow travels along the “path of totality” on Earth. The next total solar eclipse visible from the U.S. will happen on April 8 and will be most visible from parts of the Northeast, the Midwest, and Texas.
