Eight great apes at the San Diego Zoo have each received two doses of an experimental COVID-19 vaccine developed for animals, National Geographic reports . Three orangutans and five bonobos received both shots of the vaccine while distracted by treats, and have reportedly not had any negative side effects. The zoo will soon be able to check for antibodies to know if the vaccine worked as intended. A Hong Kong pharmaceutical company initially developed this experimental vaccine for use on cats and dogs; using it on the great apes was a calculated risk. Nadine Lamberski, chief conservation and wildlife health officer at the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, told National Geographic, "It's not like we randomly grab a vaccine and give it to a novel species.

To help me along to that end, here's the $130 talking Kelvin Thermostat . In theory it's for the elderly and disabled (though knowing my grandma, I can't really imagine her entering into conversation with an appliance). The buttons speak aloud what they do when you adjust them, and you can dictate the temperature simply by speaking it aloud. One hopes it understands better than those automated phone systems ("Did you say...two hundred and thirty degrees?"). Yes, the future is almost here. I hope when it arrives, there'll be no more need for flirting. [via SCI FI Tech ] … [Read more...] about Computer, raise temperature to “San Diego”

Climate change and global warming are nothing new—though, some are still in denial of the existence and negative impacts of these phenomena. Though the media lives for hyping up big weather phenomena, actual scientific research and data reveal the earth is, in fact, heating up at an alarming rate. Much of global warming is the product of greenhouse gas emissions caused by humans and their activities. In the 20th century, the world saw a 1.44-degree Fahrenheit increase in its mean surface temp . Since the 1970s, summer temperatures have been on a steady climb , increasing 0.4 degrees every 10 years in the U.S. and 2 degrees overall. Not all areas are equal in terms of climate change.
