In the 1960s, saltwater intrusion in a southeast Louisiana swamp killed the trees and plants that lived there. Now restored with freshwater, the swamp has become the perfect place for revegetation projects — particularly because healthy swamps can serve as a speed bump to slow hurricanes. That’s one reason why the open water of Bayou Bienvenue, once home to cypress and tupelo trees, now hosts an island of native trees, grasses — and recycled glass. The artificial island is helping researchers understand a new approach to coastal restoration. Sign up for our newsletter We summarize the week’s scientific breakthroughs every…

I was in the middle of helping my mom out of her hospital bed to the bathroom when my son called and couldn’t find his cleats. Both of these tasks would have been manageable, except for the fact that my work email inbox had just passed 100 “unread” messages again. Each was occupying space in the back of my mind, and the word “drowning” kept flashing in front of my eyes, like a warning on a bomb that was about to explode. But the emergent and exhausting situation I found myself in, taking care of both the older and younger…

Key Takeaways Positive symptoms of schizophrenia are added experiences like hallucinations and delusions. Hallucinations can affect different senses, but hearing voices is the most common. Antipsychotic medications and therapy can help manage positive symptoms of schizophrenia. The typical positive symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinatory experiences or fixed delusional beliefs, tend to be very upsetting and disruptive—not a positive experience at all for you or someone you care about who is experiencing them. From the outside, a person with positive symptoms might seem distracted, as if they are listening to something. Psychiatrists call this “responding to internal stimuli”. They may have difficulty formulating…

Recently there’s been more talk about lymphatic detox and lymph massage, but there’s more to it than that. I always love it when I can really do a deep dive into the science, and this…
