A new perspective paper published in Nature Communications is shedding light on the ecological origins of pandemics and the importance of prevention in halting future epidemics. According to researchers, pandemics often originate from viruses spilling over from animals into humans. To prevent these spillovers and ultimately halt epidemics, the paper outlines three key recommendations. These recommendations include protecting animals’ food sources, habitats where they aggregate, and keeping at-risk individuals safe. Research on black flying foxes in Australia has shown how restoring forests can help prevent spillovers. However, implementing these recommendations may prove challenging due to competing interests such as agriculture…

NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft, set to launch in October 2024, may hold the key to uncovering evidence of alien life on Jupiter’s moon Europa. A new experiment has shown that capturing a single ice grain from Europa could potentially reveal signs of life lurking beneath the moon’s icy surface. Scientists believe that Europa’s subterranean ocean and ice shell could be home to life forms yet to be discovered. The spacecraft’s Surface Dust Analyzer is designed to detect life that may be carried up from the ocean in icy moon plumes. In a laboratory simulation using a bacterium called Sphingopyxis alaskensis,…
