THE BIG QUESTION:
WHAT CAN SPACE TEACH
US ABOUT AGING?
Wednesday, December 2, 2020

PHOTOGRAPH BY ROBERT MARKOWITZ, NASA

By Victoria Jaggard, SCIENCE executive editor

Time may be an illusion (lunchtime doubly so), but apparently that does not stop its steady march from wreaking havoc on our bodies. As humans age, we experience a wave of physiological effects from head to toe: graying hair, deteriorating eyesight, heart problems, and weakened bones, just to name a few of the possibilities.

The conundrum is that we’ve also made leaps in improving medical care so that, on average, a person born today can expect to live longer than someone born a couple hundred years ago. But living longer does not mean the aging process itself takes a holiday, and people are still faced with the prospect of physical and mental decline. Understanding how and why we age is therefore of great interest the world over. And, as it happens, one of the best laboratories for decoding these mysteries is currently soaring about 260 miles above our heads.

A fleet of studies conducted on board the International Space Station shows that space travel affects our bodies in ways that are strikingly similar to aging, just put on fast forward. “It’s estimated that the heart, blood vessels, bones, and muscles deteriorate more than 10 times faster in space than by natural aging,” Shi En Kim writes for Nat Geo.

In some cases, these effects are reversed once the person returns to terra firma, which is certainly good news for astronauts. Still, the ISS provides scientists with a unique opportunity to study age-related maladies on shorter time scales—and experiment with drugs that may help treat the worst effects of getting older. (Pictured above, former NASA astronauts—and twins—Mark (left) and Scott Kelly (right), who spent varying lengths of time aboard the ISS.)

Of course, it may be a while yet before any of this foundational science leads to major medical breakthroughs. But don’t panic. As long as astronauts are in orbit, discoveries about longevity are sure to come flowing back down to Earth.

TODAY IN A MINUTE

The fifth astronaut in the Senate: The previously mentioned Mark Kelly today follows in the footsteps of John Glenn, Harrison Schmidt, Jake Garn, and Bill Nelson to serve both in space—and in the upper house of Congress. Kelly, who won Arizona’s Senate election, not only is the twin brother of another former NASA astronaut, Scott Kelly, but he is the husband of former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords. Glenn and Schmidt served with NASA before coming to Congress; Garn and Nelson flew on the space shuttle after being elected to Washington, Space.com reports.

Vaccine news: Britain today approved a COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer, paving the way for the first 800,000 of an estimated 40 million shots for the UK to roll out next week, CNN reports. Here’s the latest on vaccine efforts and a report on why some people can become reinfected with the virus.

Slow burn: Why were experts and others so late to the realization that COVID-19 was spreading to rural and small-town America? Limited resources, stigma, and politics made the coronavirus difficult to track in rural areas, allowing its spread to go largely unnoticed all summer, Lois Parshley writes for Nat Geo. Since the coronavirus first hit U.S. cities in force, “it was just a matter of time before we saw it in more rural settings,” says Johns Hopkins epidemiologist Stefan Baral. More than 270,000 Americans have died since February from the virus, and more than 13,7 million people have been infected.

From discarded PPE to bricks: That’s what an Indian entrepreneur is doing with the rising stocks of disposable face masks from the pandemic. “I have eco-anxiety,” says Binish Desai, who already has molded 40,000 bricks for construction from the used (and well sanitized) personal protective equipment and is gearing up to produce 15,000 such bricks a day. The masks are often made of polypropylene plastic, which can take hundreds of years to degrade, the Washington Post reports.

The 12,500-year-old story: It has been hailed as “the Sistine Chapel of the ancients”—a cliff face with tens of thousands of paintings that was recently discovered in Amazon rainforest. The age of the paintings was partly determined by what these early Amazon settlers painted; the portraits include Ice Age animals such as the mastodon and the palaeolama, the Guardian reports. The discovery was made by a British-Colombian team in Colombia’s Serranía de la Lindosa.

THE NIGHT SKIES

The W: On the next clear night, take a tour of a group of stars that form a large lopsided W high above the northeastern horizon. That’s the constellation Cassiopeia. Its five most visible stars shine with similar brightness, but their distance varies greatly, with the star Caph only 54 light-years away while Gamma Cassiopeiae sits 650 light-years from Earth. Cassiopeia is also home to two jewel-like open star clusters easily visible with binoculars. The easiest to pick out is NGC 663, but look near the bright star Ruchbahm and you can also glimpse the majestic Owl Cluster, a swarm of 200 newborn stars over 9,000 light-years away. And before dawn on Monday, sky-watchers in the Southern Hemisphere can see a handful of shooting stars an hour during the minor Puppid-Velid meteor shower. — Andrew Fazekas

THE BIG TAKEAWAY

A humble bean to the rescue: For centuries, the Wayuu people of Colombia survived a harsh desert environment by herding goats and harvesting wild fruits. They also cultivated the brown-patterned cowpeas dubbed after the Spanish name for their home, guajiro beans. That sacred bean may save the Wayuu, whose land has been plagued by droughts and a dam that has dried their watershed. Some of the people, aided by red earthworms and a low-tech irrigation system, have begun harvesting the resilient guajiro beans anew, with a singular focus. “People are surprised by our harvests,” says one community member, Rita Uriana. “They are surprised we still have this plant.” Could it help others? (Pictured above, a woman and child tending to guajiro beans in Manaure, Colombia.)

A teaching tree: For nearly 200 million years, ginkgo trees flourished. But in a twist, humans had to rescue the last seed-producing trees of their particular family from extinction. It’s “such a great evolutionary story, and also a great cultural story,” says Peter Crane, author of the book Ginkgo. Nat Geo’s Sarah Gibbens tells how the trees were imported to Europe and then North America. Resistant to insects, fungi, and high levels of air pollution, and with roots that can thrive under concrete, the ginkgo (pictured above) is now among the most common trees on the U.S. East Coast.

THE BIG QUESTION:

CAN WE MAKE THESE

LAKES GREAT AGAIN?

Wednesday, November 18, 2020

PHOTOGRAPHS BY KEITH LADZINSKI

By Robert Kunzig, ENVIRONMENT executive editor

In the 60s and 70s, when I was growing up, phosphate in detergents was one of our biggest environmental concerns, because it contaminated the Great Lakes. Rivers in Cleveland or Detroit still caught fire then. It was a simpler time.

Environmental problems seemed relatively contained, manageable. It seemed that by taking phosphate out of detergent and other pollutants out of a few rivers, we could make the Great Lakes great again. I should say “whole” again, because of course the lakes had never stopped being great. They hold almost 85 percent of North America’s fresh surface water and a fifth of the world’s. Their coastline is longer than the East and West coasts combined.

They’re as huge and as seemingly immutable a part of our geography and collective imagination as the Rocky Mountains—but while the Rockies are tens of millions of years old, the lakes were gouged out of bedrock by retreating glaciers only some 10,000 years ago. In their present form, they’re younger than the Egyptian pyramids, Tim Folger writes in this month’s cover story. From the shore, they may look big as oceans, but “they’re immature, more susceptible to threats.”

These days the threats are more global and daunting than in the good old days of burning rivers. They come from climate change, which is warming the lakes, diminishing their winter ice cover, and decimating the tiny plankton at the base of the food web. More than 180 invasive species, like zebra mussels and sea lampreys, have disrupted the food web from top to bottom. (Pictured above, floodwater from Lake Michigan pours over a walkway in Chicago in 2019; extreme weather caused the lake to rise two feet.)

For a while in the 90s, the lakes were blessedly free of the algae blooms that clog them when too many nutrients wash into the water. After the Clean Water Act of 1972, we built sewage treatment plants and removed phosphate from laundry detergent. But in the past two decades the blooms have returned, more toxic than ever, especially in Lake Erie (pictured above, in 2019). Now the phosphorus is washing off over-fertilized corn fields. Sadly, the problem seems to be aggravated by no-till agriculture—an eco-friendly practice designed to prevent soil erosion—as well as by the extreme rains that climate change is bringing.

These days, old industrial cities like Duluth or Buffalo are mentioned as places that might be reborn as havens for climate change refugees from places like Alabama, where I live now. The water in the Great Lakes, Folger tells us, may come to seem a far more valuable asset to this country—as droughts increase—than all our coal, oil, and natural gas. The Great Lakes will never stop being great. But once again it’s time to stop taking them for granted.

TODAY IN A MINUTE

Why Moderna may have an edge: The second COVID-19 vaccine candidate with stunning early success rates does not have to be refrigerated at an ultra-cold temperature, as does the Pfizer candidate. Moderna says its vaccine can be stored at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius (36 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit) for 30 days. That’s the temperature found in a normal refrigerator or in a cooler filled with ice. This more common temperature range would allow for easier vaccine storage in rural areas and low-income countries, Sarah Elizabeth Richards reports for Nat Geo. This morning, Pfizer said it would apply for emergency FDA approval after tests showed its vaccine was 95 percent effective and had no serious side effects. Here’s a snapshot of vaccines in development.

Did these dinos die in combat? A fossil of a tyrannosaur alongside the bones of a plant-eating Triceratops may provide new clues to paleontologists. The exquisitely preserved fossil, found in Montana in 2006, has been acquired by a North Carolina museum after more than a decade of human scuffles related to private ownership and legal disputes. “Each specimen is among the best of its kind ever found,” Nat Geo’s Michael Greshko reports.

Ending a cancer: The lives of five million women could be saved by 2050 if the world joins forces to wipe out cervical cancer. In a first, 194 countries pledged to introduce measures that would see the number of new cases of the disease fall by 40 percent through vaccination, screening, and treatment. “We now have the cost-effective, evidence-based tools to make that dream a reality,” says Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO director-general. Without additional measures against HPV, responsible for 99 percent of cases, deaths could rise to 400,000 a year by 2030, The Telegraph reports.

Fighting a public health threat: The American Medical Association has declared racism a public health threat and has pledged to take action to confront systemic racism, racial injustice, and police brutality. “A proactive approach to prevent, or identify and eliminate, racism is crucial,” the AMA declared, “particularly considering that studies show historically marginalized populations in the U.S. have shorter lifespans, greater physical and mental illness burden, earlier onset and aggressive progression of disease, higher maternal and infant mortality, and less access to health care.” The action comes as the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately stricken African Americans and Latinos in the U.S.

Jupiter’s moons play peek-a-boo: After darkness tomorrow evening, look for the crescent moon in a triangular formation with the two largest planets in our solar system, Jupiter and Saturn. As an observing challenge, small telescopes pointed at Jupiter after sunset can reveal one of its moons, Callisto, gliding in front of the planet’s disk, while the neighboring moon Ganymede will peek out from behind Jupiter’s shadow on its eastern side at 7:13 p.m. ET. With binoculars, you can also spy two other Jovian moons—icy Europa to the planet’s west and volcanic Io to its east. Meanwhile, early bird sky-watchers will get a chance to see Mercury, which is usually hidden behind the glow of the sunrise or sunset. This week, it has pulled enough away from the sun that it’s more easily visible low in the southeast sky.

Bluer than blue? How can you make vivid pigments that could be even more striking than those found in nature? That’s what scientists are doing by “controlling light”—altering the arrangement of molecules to reflect only a specific wavelength of light. By layering together polymers, as pictured above, scientists were able to produce the kinds of iridescent rainbow effects that occur naturally in opal gemstones, Sarah Gibbens and Rebecca Hale show in the latest National Geographic magazine.

OVERHEARD AT NAT GEO

Diving with a purpose: “When you dive,” Tara Roberts says, “it’s a completely different world.” Between 500 and 1,000 of the estimated 35,000 voyages that carried 12.5 millions Africans to the Americas wrecked—and only a handful of those shipwrecks have been discovered, the Nat Geo Explorer says on the latest episode of our podcast, Overheard. Roberts has been diving not only to find submerged history, but also to better explain the forced movement of enslaved people that led to modern economies and nation-building. “I am going to go out and find my own history”—and to shape the story she finds, Roberts tells Nat Geo’s Amy Briggs. “Slavery is not the start of our story, but according to the history books, it is.” (Pictured above, Roberts examining part of a wreck in the Florida Keys).

By Lynn Lehmkuhl

One of the biggest concerns among aging men and women is the fear of falling. Chair yoga, or “yoga while seated, ”allows anyone to experience all of the benefits of an exercise program while near completely eliminating that concern. In Chair Yoga for Seniors, registered yoga practitioner and instructor Lynn Lehmkuhl offers your audience easy-to-follow yoga positions and stretches that can be done at home, while sitting down. Chair Yoga for Seniors outlines the physical and mental benefits that come with practicing yoga daily and provides instructions for numerous different exercises!  www.elderchairyoga.com

The routines found in Chair Yoga for Seniors can help your audience make daily exercise a reality and provide invaluable benefits such as increased energy and a boost in confidence.

There are 50 step-by-step, safe effective exercises included and Lynn Lehmkuhl can discuss the fundamentals with your audience:

·        The Full body warm-ups

·        Joint Rolls

·        Beginner routines

·        Intermediate Routines

·        Expert routines

·        Full body cooldowns

Lynn has been training me in chair yoga for quite some time now. I am 69 years old with complicated spinal issues, due to a lengthy illness. Prior to meeting my sessions with Lynn, I was out of shape and also out of balance. Since working with Lynn, I have become much stronger and balanced.

She is a perfectionist and her method is effective. If I’m no doing something correctly, she will stop me and correct my position. That way I cannever injure myself. Lynn’s outgoing personality and her dedication to her craft make her the perfect combination for me. I have already recommended hereto friends who are not ready for or interested in other forms of yoga.

– Sandra, Chair Yoga Client, Manhattan

As a physicaltherapist with a busy private practice in Manhattan, I can attest that the chair yoga that Lynn provides is a much-needed asset. Lynn’s bubbly personality along with her extensive knowledge base go a long way toward bringing both joy and a newfound physical prowess to her clients.

– Ron Meador PT, DPT, Doctor of Physical Therapy

Lynn has been providing Yoga and Exercise sessions for the participants and their caregivers of our social day program for older adults with dementia (CARE Program) as a volunteer on a weekly basis.

CARE participants are in the mid-to-advanced stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Often, they are unable to communicate verbally, a participant in any proposed activities, and at times present problematic behaviors. This demands tremendous sensitivity and patience on the part of the staff to interact with and facilitate clients’ engagement in program activities. Lynn definitely represents those qualities.

At the moment Lynn enters the program’s room, with her presence it feels like we are all at ease, relaxed, and motivated to exercise. As the director of the program, I have been able to observe not only the highest levels of professionalism, skills and knowledge Lynn possesses, but also her deeply human, emphatic and creative approaches in her interactions with our clients, their caregivers, our staff and other volunteers.

Our program has been enriched by her spontaneity and wealth of ideas, as they encourage a wide range of expressions in our members. Her efforts in getting to know each of the participants and find the right channels to connect with them has resulted in positive changes, regardless of the different backgrounds and dementia levels of our participants. This is a beautiful and inspiring experience for my staff and I.

Lynn has been very successful in accommodating all, including our clients’ caregivers who look forward to each session she does for the program. Most of these caregivers are hard-working, immigrant women who, in addition to being isolated from their own families due to the demands of their work(often 24/7), have no time for personal entertainment, relaxation or self-care. They have expressed their appreciation for Lynn’s classes, which they believe not only help them engage their clients better but also inspires them to apply this knowledge when working with their clients at home.

My staff and I are enormously grateful for all the great work Lynn has done for us. I have personally felt immeasurable enriched in my  understanding of the power of yoga in our group setting. Something that we have not really anticipated to be such a successful activity – now has become one of the very best liked activities by our members.

We are extremely lucky to have Lynn, a great yoga instructor and a generous person, contribute to the success of our program.

– Elizabeth Hartowicz, CARE Program Director

Lynn has been working with my wife, who has been wheelchair-bound for many years as the result of several disabling medical conditions. The results have been striking. In her engaging and very friendly way, she has helped my wife to take steps toactivate herself physically and to herself engage in activities that were otherwise closed to her. Lynn is a persistent, gentle, engaging and knowledgeable.

– Henry Nunberg, MD

Lynn is a pleasure to work with! She is a very skilled, patient and compassionate facilitator for our Adult Day Program clients. She will be a strong asset to any organization with whom she chooses to work!

– Ruth Maderski, Program Director, New Jewish Home
