This story originally appeared on Grist and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Jon Dale’s love affair with birds began when he was about 10 and traded his BB gun for a pair of binoculars. Within a year, he’d counted 150 species flitting through the trees that circled his family’s home in Harlingen, Texas. The town sits in the Rio Grande Valley, at the convergence of the Central and Mississippi flyways, and also hosts many native fliers, making it a birder’s paradise. Dale delighted in s

In the year 2000, in a small east German town, work began on the construction of an organ that had one purpose: to perform John Cage’s ORGAN2/ASLSP (1987) for precisely 639 years. The late avant-garde composer’s only instruction for the piece was to play the piece ‘as slowly as possible’. And so in 2001 – the instrument finally ready – the world’s longest organ recital began in St Burchardi church, Halberstadt, with a rest lasting 17 months before the first chord commenced droning in 2003. It co

A near-perfect simulation of the human brain would have profound implications for humanity. It could offer a pathway for us to transcend the biological limitations that have constrained human potential, and enable unimaginable new forms of intelligence, creativity, and exploration. This represents the next phase in human evolution, freeing our cognition and memory from the limits of our organic structure. Unfortunately, it’s also a long way off.

Before long, we began passing other racers who had missed the cutoff, limping or sitting in the dirt, heads resting on their knees. Some were kind enough to cheer us on. Dawn graced us as we forded a misting river in a line of teams with packs held above their heads. Racers hobbled onward, sleepless, blistered, thorn-torn, sodden, chilled and wounded; one later displayed to us a wrist that she said was broken, while proudly insisting that she wouldn’t leave the course. But despite all that, they

What’s the most famous moment in the history of The Walking Dead? Everyone has their opinion but the overwhelming majority would likely say the season six finale/season seven premiere moment of Negan beating Glenn to death with his baseball bat. And while Glenn’s friends and family eventually forgave Negan, Glenn never got his revenge. Because he was dead. In a meta twist though, he got his shot on this week’s Invincible. The third season finale of Invincible is now on Prime Video and in it, we

Protein is an essential macronutrient that helps with muscle growth, repairs tissue and boosts your immune system. Most types of protein-rich food come from animal sources, so this is harder to accomplish if you don't eat meat, poultry, dairy or eggs. So, if you've started a plant-based diet, you probably know that it's more challenging to meet your protein quota. However, recently, plenty of ways have come up to make sure you're still getting enough protein daily if you're vegan. The key is kn

KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — An unknown illness has killed over 50 people in northwestern Congo, according to doctors on the ground and the World Health Organization on Monday.

There’s something odd happening under an Ethiopian national park. Volcanic and seismic activity were on the rise under a volcano named Mount Fentale, but the gas that began spouting out of the ground wasn’t what you’d expect from an impending eruption. Canadian greenhouse gas monitoring company GHGSat said in early February that the amount of methane being emitted from Mount Fentale is “substantial.” When GHGSat began measuring the emissions on January 31, they found that the volcano was spewin
