Reopening schools during the COVID-19 pandemic, and taking the heat out of crude oil separation
Contributing correspondent Gretchen Vogel talks about what can be learned from schools around the world that have reopened during the coronavirus pandemic. Unfortunately, few systematic studies have been done but observations of outbreaks in schools in places such as France or Israel do offer a few lessons for countries looking to send kids back to school soon. The United Kingdom and Germany have started studies of how the virus spreads in children and at school, but results are months away. In the meantime, Gretchen’s reporting suggests small class sizes, masks, and social distancing among the adults at school are parti...

Wellbeing – advice from a military medic to frontline clinicians
There is no doubt that anxiety levels that clinicians are feeling during this pandemic are high.
One military medic believes the current situation is comparable to his experience when posted during British campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq. Cormac Doyle offers advice on how to deal with high-stress conditions, both in a work and at home, as well as how to negate the future effects of post-tr aumatic stress disorder.One strategy he supports is using Bilatural Stimulation using music, one example of which called “Strength Within” can be found here shorturl.at/fgrSW.

Creating chimeras for organ transplants and how bats switch between their eyes and ears on the wing
Researchers have been making animal embryos from two different species, so-called “chimeras,” for years, by introducing stem cells from one species into a very early embryo of another species. The ultimate goal is to coax the foreign cells into forming an organ for transplantation. But questions abound: Can evolutionarily distant animals, like pigs and humans, be mixed togeth er to produce such organs? Or could species closely related to us, like chimps and macaques, stand in for tests with human cells? Staff Writer Kelly Servick joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss the research, the regulations, and the growing ethical ...
