More Than a Trillion Cicadas Are Coming. Are You Ready?
Cicadas spend the vast majority of their lifetime—more than 90%—underground. But this spring, two broods of more than a trillion cicadas will make their debut above the soil across the Midwest and Southeast in an event that has not happened in more than two centuries.
“When these emerge, it really is a unique, natural phenomenon,” says PJ Liesch, the director of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Insect Diagnostic Lab, who compares the insects’ emergence to that of Monday’s total solar eclipse. “If you think about your entire lifetime, you might only have a few opportunit...

What to know about the new EPA rule limiting'forever chemicals' in tap water
Wednesday the Environmental Protection Agency announced new drinking water standards to limit people's exposure to some PFAS chemicals.
