🦠The World Health Organization has declared an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda to be a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). The outbreak involves the Bundibugyo ebolavirus (BDBV) strain, a form of Ebola for which we do not currently have licensed vaccines available. The WHO says there are significant uncertainties about the true number of people infected and the geographic spread of the virus. Countries sharing land borders with the Democratic Republic of the Congo are considered at high risk for further spread, the WHO says, but the outbreak does not currently meet the criteria of a pandemic emergency.

😬 Buďme rádi, jak naše soustava dnes vypadá! Podle simulací by třeba taková pátá terestriální planeta mezi Marsem a Jupiterem byla schopna vytlačit Merkur, Venuši, Uran a možná i Zemi ze Sluneční soustavy – a zničit život na naší planetě dřív, než by měl šanci vzniknout.

THEY DO WHAT?? 😮

"Rice plants and #VenusFlytraps share something in common that was not scientifically documented until recently. Using a faint smell to lure caterpillars into a trap, rice plants killed early-stage fall armyworm larvae by trapping them in a spikelet, the part at the end of a rice panicle where individual grains develop."
