What Bats 'See' As They Explore The World With Sound

    As we very well know, bats use echolocation to get around, but they are not blind. But, there lies the question, what do they really 'see' at night? Echolocation uses sound in order to gather more information you can't see with your eyes. Bats have sight, but if you think about it they're in the dark all the time because their noctournal. So, they see mostly black. I think this is important to know this because there will be a time, a long time in the future, that we will need some sort of echolocation to help us survive. Scientests could use this method in so many ways to help life as we know it. And, it will be important for the future. This is why it is important to our futures.

    I think that humans using echolocation would be very efficient and helpful someday. When you think about it, this could be one of many ways we would need to use in order to see from day to day life. What kind of technology do you think they will need to develop in order for humans to use this technology efficiently?

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.

Law enforcement intercepted a ricen laced package and letter sent to Donald Trump that supposedly came from St. Hubert Quebec. A women has been arrested in the case but they are still investigating.  Ricin is a highly toxic compound extracted from castor beans that has been used in terror plots. It can be used in powder, pellet, mist or acid form. If ingested, it causes nausea, vomiting and internal bleeding of the stomach and intestines, followed by failure of the liver, spleen and kidneys, and death by collapse of the circulatory system .

Coral Genetic Diversity Relates to Distinct Lifestyles

 According to microbiologist, Rebecca Vega-Thurber, coral supports more species per square meter than any other habitat. Coral is a complex organism that is able to hide its diversity in plain sight and while scientists always thought there was one distinct species, they have now been able to conclude that there are actually four. The coral's internal structures look almost identical which is what makes it so hard to decipher the difference between the four different kinds, which concludes that millions of years ago, the coral diverged together. Scientists also found that these different species of coral is found at different water depths of the ocean. They also have different amounts of photosynthetic algae and pigments. When this study was conducted, it allowed us to know cryptic reef corals are splitting up their shared ecological space. I think that this is important to know because now we are able to conduct more studies to find out why coral has different properties at differ...
