Thanks to @npr.org and the Shortwave podcast for covering circadian research! It was very cool to be on the podcast and on All Things Considered. And Kudos to Chris Hall for the exciting work.

This week in science: hawks hunting, infrared contacts and immunity through the day

Berly McCoy and Regina Barber of Short Wave talk about a hawk's clever hunting strategy, contacts that allow wearers to see infrared light, and how immunity varies during the day.

Hello friends. Today I want to tell you a story.

It sounds small, I know, amidst all this. But small things matter, and I'd appreciate your consideration.

This is a story of a cat. Specifically, this cat.

On the left is the first photo I ever took of her. On the right is a recent photo.

(1/13)

A photo of a terrified looking black cat with yellow eyes, staring at the camera from inside the mesh cage of a humane animal trap.

A photo of the same black cat, except she is now rolling happily on a rug near a white door.

Now published in JCIM! Thanks to reviewers and our editor for pushing us to (hopefully) clarify a few things and ensure it's clear what PENGUIN is trying to do (and what it's NOT trying to do).

Also, in case you were unsure, graphic design is our passion.
