A urinary tract infection or UTI is a very common bacterial infection, impacting approximately 150 million individuals worldwide annually. Each year, in the United States, UTIs contribute to over 10 million office visits, surpass 2 million emergency department visits, and result in 100,000 hospitalizations. As a result, estimated costs linked to these infections in the US range from $1 billion to $1.6 billion annually, including both direct and indirect expenses.

TSS is caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and sometimes Streptococcus pyogenes. While the infection is often associated with tampons, non-menstruating individuals can also get TSS, including pre-menstrual girls, boys, adult males, and post-menopausal females.

Rising ocean temperatures are sweeping the seas, breaking records and creating problematic conditions for marine life. Unlike heatwaves on land, periods of abrupt ocean warming can surge for months or years. Around the world these 'marine heatwaves' have led to mass species mortality and displacement events, economic declines and habitat loss. New research reveals that even areas of the ocean protected from fishing are still vulnerable to these extreme events fueled by climate change.
