Octopuses don't thermoregulate, so their powerful brains are exposed to -- and potentially threatened by -- changes in temperature. Researchers report that two-spot octopuses adapt to seasonal temperature shifts by producing different neural proteins under warm versus cool conditions. The octopuses achieve this by editing their RNA, the messenger molecule between DNA and proteins.

Artificial intelligence has changed marketing in extraordinary ways, which is why the market for AI in the marketing profession is booming. Marketing companies spent over $35 billion on AI in marketing research alone last year, but they are likely to spend as much on AI-driven SEO. Search engine optimization (or SEO) is a broad and highly complicated area and if you are a new business owner discovering it for the first time, it can feel terribly overwhelming.

West Nile Virus is a critical public health concern. This mosquito-borne virus can cause severe, fatal disease. The disease is transmitted to humans and animals through infected mosquitoes. Unfortunately, there are no vaccines for humans against the West Nile Virus (WNV), so controlling their vectors and raising awareness about precautionary measures is the best way of fighting this infectious disease.

Compartmental models in epidemiology are used to gain insight into the transmission of contagious illnesses and forecast their development. These mathematical models classify individuals within a population into distinct compartments based on their disease status, such as susceptible, infected, or recovered.

The implication is that hummingbirds have adjusted to small amounts of alcohol likely present in flowers and backyard feeders.

In the absence of light from the first stars and galaxies, the universe entered a period known as the cosmic dark ages. The first stars and galaxies appeared several hundred million years later and began burning away the hydrogen fog left over from the Big Bang, rendering the universe transparent, like it is today.
