Holy contagious, Batman! It seems like everyone knows someone with the omicron variant right now. And that makes sense, with U.S. infections at an all-time high. So what can we expect if we're next? Scientists finally have some answers — and it's actually pretty good news (on the pandemic scale of news, that is).
When something sad, stressful or hurtful happens, many of us look for a way to distract ourselves from the pain and discomfort. For example, this editor has spent much of the last two years thinking "La la la la la" and watching puppy videos. But it turns out distraction isn't actually the best policy when it comes to dealing with something unpleasant.
What do baby mice and baby humans have in common? The answer is actually some very cool science. When baby mice cry, they do it to a beat that is synchronized to the rise and fall of their own breath. This is evidence, say scientists, that human speech relies — at least in part — on biological "building blocks" that are present from birth.
