Chess: Double blow for India on Day 2

India suffered a double blow, losing its third and fourth round matches to Europe and top-seeded China by similar 1.5-2.5 margins, on the second day of the FIDE-Chess.com Online Nations Cup on Wednesday. Five-time World champion Viswanathan Anand came up against a strong opponent in Ding Liren and the two agreed to sign peace in 54 moves. P Harikrishna held higher-rated Yu Yangyi to a draw while long-time rivals Koneru Humpy and Hou Yifan drew their game.

Planting the seeds of recovery in the aftermath of the Australia bushfires

Australia’s annual dry seasons are known for droughts and wildfires, but the dry season of 2019--2020 was remarkable due to the sheer extent of the devastation. By some estimates, more than 10 million hectares (38,600 square miles, an area slightly larger than the U.S. state of Indiana) burned, killing several million animals (including many of the country’s koalas) and more than 30 people. On a positive note, burned areas will recover from this disturbance, and tree planting and other forms of ecological restoration can help to hasten this process.

Iceland didn’t hunt any whales in 2019—and public appetite for whale meat is fading

Since the International Whaling Commission placed an international moratorium on whaling in 1986, few countries have engaged in the practice. Iceland was one of them, however, and it has hunted whales sporadically since then and has been roundly criticized by many neighboring countries for doing so. There are indications now that a generational shift in consuming whale meat for food is taking place in the country---with younger citizens avoiding whale meat altogether and thus reducing the economic demand for the product.

Can your pets get coronavirus, and can you catch it from them?

It was previously reported that lions and tigers in New York’s Bronx Zoo had become infected with SARS-CoV-2, and they were displaying symptoms of COVID-19. Now, it seems that there is evidence that other species, namely cats and dogs, can become infected with the virus, though they respond differently to it than humans do. This week's blog post below discusses the possibility of catching COVID-19 from a dog or a cat.
