Massive study of dog aging likely to lose funding
Scientists who study aging are howling about the possible demise of one of the field’s biggest studies, the Dog Aging Project. The effort has been probing cognitive and physical aspects of aging in about 50,000 dogs and is running a clinical trial to test a drug that may boost the animals’ longevity. But organizers say the project will probably lose funding this year from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), which has furnished at least 90% of its annual budget, now about $7 million.
“It is a big loss if this project in dogs does not continue,” says gerontologist João Pedro de Magalhães of the University ...

A snake ’s teeth predict how fast it will strike
SEATTLE—
The open, fanged mouth of a snake poised to strike is terrifying to most people. But William Ryerson is not like most people.

This week at the annual meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology, he reported that
these factors can be used to predict the speed and direction of a snake’s strike

Ukrainian scientists tally the grave environmental consequences of the Kakhovka Dam disaster
Kyiv and Odesa, Ukraine—
In the predawn hours of 6 June 2023, a pair of explosions rocked the Kakhovka Dam, a 3-kilometer-long hydropower facility on the Dnipro River in southern Ukraine. Waking up that morning to the unfolding catastrophe, “I couldn’t believe it,” recalls Volodymyr Osadchyi, director of the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Institute (UHMI). “I thought it had to be fake news.” But footage captured by a Ukrainian military drone showed water from one of Europe’s largest reservoirs gushing through a gaping breach in the dam.
Over the next 4 days, 18 cubic kilometers of water surged downs...

Dummerstorf, Germany
—You’d never mistake a goat for a dog, but on an unseasonably warm afternoon in early September, I almost do. I’m in a red-brick barn in northern Germany, trying to keep my sanity amid some of the most unholy noises I’ve ever heard. Sixty Nigerian dwarf goats are taking turns crashing their horns against wooden stalls while unleashing a cacophony of bleats, groans, and retching wails that make it nearly impossible to hold a conversation. Then, amid the chaos, something remarkable happens. One of the animals raises her head over her enclosure and gazes pensively at me, her widely spaced eye...
