Asian Giant Hornets

 Asian giant hornets are a hornet species native to China, Japan, and South Korea, more commonly known as "murder hornets". Scientist have recently tied a tracker on one of the hornets using dental floss and discovered where its nest was, then killed the nest. It was the second nest found in North American. They are currently residing on the West Coast in Washington state and British Columbia, Canada, though it was recently discovered that they would thrive on the East Coast. It's estimated that it would take them hundreds of years to reach the East Coast but with human aid, much faster. 

I am honestly not surprised that they would survive on the East Coast because that's just our luck, but I also think that they may not migrate to here or even stay if they do reach us because it said that they prefer their native lands. We still should take extreme precautions due to the fact that they can kill people if they sting enough times.

    I remember seeing the news headlines when they first got here and being scared that they would be the next Spotted Lantern Flies. Your second paragraph is a comforting thought because I agree, the west coast is more like their natural climate. But that begs the question, could they adapt to the harsh winters here in the North East? I found this article very informative, and I learned a lot more than I had previously known. It was very interesting how the scientists found the nest to me, and very creative.

Current event

I am just doing a trial current event-  Are you supposed to put the link to your article in the summary?  Do you know how to do that?  My current event is an article from the magazine The Week.  It is titled   It's not just the germs — it's also the genes  The article discusses how a person's genes play a part in how viruses react within that body.  It talks about how some people may get a virus more seriously than another & how scientists can look at that information and develop therapies from.  Just so you know The Week pulls articles from other sources-  I did backtrack to check the source they got the original article from & it checks out.

Over 87,000 papers published on coronavirus since start of pandemic

 Over 87,000 papers have been published about this global pandemic. When most people think of the pandemic going around right now, they think about how awful it all is. How many people have died, how many people have lost a family member, or how many people they have lost relationships with friends or family. But, do people ever think about how this event will go down in history, and how it will affect science studies in the future? We never know what type of science we will come across in the future, but we can say that science evolves every day, and things are constantly changing. This is why so many people are interested in this pandemic. The more we know about this pandemic, the more we can do to try and change is. So, what will science bring in the future? And how will it impact future in sciences? We won't know the answer to either of those questions for a long time, but we can certainly say that it will evolve so much, and make things a lot more interesting.    htt...
