The Monroe County Department of Public Health says a traveler who tested positive for measles passed through the Louise M. Slaughter Rochester Train Station on Aug. 29, potentially exposing others. People who were at the station should monitor for symptoms through Sept. 19, given a typical measles incubation of 10–21 days, and vaccination education is encouraged.
The article compares hantavirus and COVID-19, noting hantavirus is primarily rodent-borne with limited human-to-human transmission and, in some strains like Andes virus, rare cases of person-to-person spread, while COVID-19 spreads readily between people; overall public risk remains low, and experts emphasize this is not COVID, though vigilance against infectious diseases is warranted.
Taiwanese researchers built a life-size oviraptor nest to test egg incubation and found that environmental heat, especially sunlight, likely played a bigger role than body warmth, implying a hybrid and less efficient incubation method than modern birds; warmer conditions reduced temperature gaps across the nest, while colder conditions caused up to 6°C differences between inner and outer eggs.
Fossils of newborn and near-hatchling dinosaurs from Alaska’s Prince Creek Formation suggest some species nested and raised young in the Arctic year-round, challenging the long-held view that dinosaurs migrated south for winter; the finds span several groups, imply long incubation periods, and indicate locally adapted communities in extreme seasons (reported in Current Biology).
Huge Verdant Eggs are the rarest variant of Verdant Eggs in Palworld, with higher chances of containing rare Grass-type Pals. They spawn randomly, but Verdant Brooks seems to be a hotspot for egg spawns. Coordinates for potential egg locations are provided, and flying Pals are recommended for scouting. The eggs are noticeably larger than regular ones and can hatch Pals like Verdash and Elizabee. Incubation duration varies based on game settings, with Casual mode hatching instantly and Hard mode taking 72 hours.
