Four principles to establish a universal virus taxonomy
Transforming an existing phenotypic classification of viruses into one based on evolutionary relationships that can accommodate the vast number of viruses characterized in metagenomics and environmental studies is an ongoing challenge.plos.io

Greenham Common - Lucy Campbell, who participated in the march, reminisces about her experience
On August 27, 1981, history was made in Cardiff, Wales when 36 women and four babies in pushchairs embarked on a march to the US Air Force Base Greenham Common to protest the deployment of American nuclear cruise missiles. This small start led to the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, which became a major catalyst in the worldwide anti-nuclear movement throughout the 1980s.

It turns out that a section of our #DNA that we received from Neanderthals is particularly associated with outcomes (mild, severe) of #COVID19 infections.
This paper outlines an approach ranging from population genetics to functional #genomics in which the researchers identified four important #alleles and their likely #regulatory function.

Regulatory dissection of the severe COVID-19 risk locus introgressed by Neanderthals
Key functional variants, discovered using Massively Parallel Reporter Assay (MPRA) and reporter assays in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection, support the importance of two critical chemokine receptor genes CCR1 and CCR5 in severe Covid-19 illness.Evelyn Jagoda (eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd)

A series of storms brought lots of precipitation to California, helping replenish snowpack and reservoirs.
But was it enough to reverse a decades-long decline in groundwater? It’s unlikely, according to @nasagoddard research.

Reservoirs Rise, but Groundwater Woes Remain
The water delivered by winter storms in 2022-2023 is likely insufficient to reverse the longer-term depletion of California’s groundwater.go.nasa.gov
This chart shows an overall downward trend in terrestrial water storage (dark blue).
The other lines show why this is happening – groundwater (light blue) is sharply decreasing. Data are from @nasa’s GRACE and GRACE-FO satellites.
