KATOA Ocean, An Educational Mobile Game, Helps Raise Awareness and Funds to Restore Ocean Habitats.
I was still in high school when the Endless Ocean games first came out for the Nintendo Wii and how a combination of real-life conservation efforts and pre-colonial Polynesian folklore inspired their scuba diver storylines. While I wasn’t much of a gamer growing up, I have to admit that playing a game that involved scuba diving, training dolphins, and going on quests to solve ancient mysteries ended up dethroning every Pokemon game I ever played in elementary school. They were fun, exciting, and, very trivial with facts about the animals that appeared in the games along with a few historical facts.

WHAT IF : THE EARTH STOPS ROTATING FOR FIVE SECONDS
What if the earth's rotation were to cease for five seconds? How much harm would this abrupt cessation do? What would you encounter in various locations around the world. Would the earth still be habitable when it starts spinning again? What if the world stopped spinning for five seconds? This is what would happen. In a single day, the earth completes one full rotation around its axis. Thus, we have day and night. When the world was forming 4.6 billion years ago, as a massive disc of gas and dust swirled around the sun, dust and rock grains clumped together and produced forces that kept the planet rotating in one direction. It is because of these collisions that the earth is spinning today.

Last spring, President Joe Biden surprised forest scientists when he ordered the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to inventory their holdings of mature and old-growth forests by Earth Day 2023. The order triggered a scramble for the United States to, for the first time, formally define what constitutes “mature” and “old-growth” forests and to apply those definitions across millions of hectares of land.

Cooperative sperm outrun loners in the mating race
Even sperm gotta stick together. Bull sperm swim more effectively when in clusters, a new study shows, potentially offering insight into fertility in humans. In simulated reproductive tracts of animals like cattle and humans, the behavior increases the chances that groups of cooperative bovine sperm will outpace meandering loners as they race to fertilize a female egg cell, physicist Chih-kuan Tung and colleagues report September 22 in Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology.
