Strangers Track Down Writer Who Launched Message in a Bottle Nearly a Century Ago
A scuba Diver from Wisconsin spends her summers scuba diving and conducting shipwreck tours found a curious curio on the riverbed.
The bottle’s unusual antique shape and green glass were what first caught her eye, but on closer inspection, she realized the find was something more. Though damaged and slightly water-logged, she and her crew learned the note inside the bottle had survived an amazing nine-plus decades in the water.
Dated November 1926, it read:
Will the person who finds this bottle return this paper to George Morrow Cheboygan, Michigan and tell where it was found?
After posting a picture of the long-missing message to Facebook, word spread like wildfire. More than 100,000 shares and 6,000 comments later, one curious reader managed to locate Morrow’s daughter, Michele Primeau (who “doesn’t do Facebook”) to tell her the story and give her the message in the bottle .

The Dream of Carbon Air Capture Edges Toward Reality
Next month, an industrial facility in Iceland will join a growing number of projects to remove CO2 from the air and put it underground. But major hurdles, including high costs, remain before this technology can be widely deployed and play a key role in tackling…

Comparing SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity to vaccine-induced immunity [pdf]
natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity.
Individuals who were both previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 and given a single dose of the vaccine gained additional protection against the Delta variant.

Meditation affects brain networks differently in long-term meditators and novices
Overall these findings are important because they show that alterations in key brain circuits associated with emotion regulation can be produced by mindfulness meditation,” says Richard Davidson, William James and Vilas Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at UW–Madison, who led the work. “Some changes can occur in a relatively short time while other changes require much more practice.”
Mindfulness practices decrease the extent to which emotional stimuli hijack us.

Meditation affects brain networks differently in long-term meditators and novices
UW-Madison researchers examined brain activity in non-meditators, new meditators, and long-term meditators, and they discovered differences in emotion networks of the brain among these groups.
