- Every summer, algal blooms blanket parts of the Antarctica Peninsula's coast.
Now, researchers say those blooms are likely to expand as climate change continues and Earth becomes progressively warmer.
According to HuffPost, British scientists have put together the first large-scale map of green algae across the area.
Green snow algae is found where summer temperatures are above freezing, but still cold enough for there to be snow.
It’s also more abundant in areas inhabited by animals like penguins and seals, whose feces fuel the algae’s growth.

- Description
- Older people and those with preexisting health problems are more likely to develop severe novel coronavirus COVID-19 cases.
But infants can become seriously infected, and young, otherwise healthy adults have been hospitalized and died from complications, too.
Now, new research suggests a 'cytokine storm' is what triggers coronavirus cases to escalate from mild to severe.
According to Business Insider, a cytokine storm is an aggressive immune response that prompts white blood cells to attack healthy lung tissue.
Japanese immunologists recently determined that cytokine storms can lead to ARDS, a life-threatening lung injury, in coronavirus patients.
Knowing when and how to block them could be critical to preventing coronavirus deaths.

- Taking It Upon Yourself To Color Your Own Hair? Here's How To Keep It Looking Good
- Date posted
- 4 years ago
- Description
- The novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic has led many to try their hand at dyeing their hair at home.
According to Allure, that's not a bad thing. There are plenty of great colors in boxes on grocery store shelves.
However, it's important to do what it takes to keep your hair looking good after an at-home coloring session.
For example, make sure you wash out 100% of the dye after you color your hair. If not, your hair will look and feel muddy and dull.
Speaking of washing your hair, do it less. Frequent washing strips color and dries hair out.
Finally, protect your hair's hydration and strength by using a conditioning mask once a week, and going easy on blow dryers and hot irons.
