Using moss to test for urban pollution, NCAA concussion protocol fails, and one of the blackest substances ever made
Mossy lead-detector With the environmental clean-ups of the last several decades, the amount of toxic lead we’re exposed to on a daily basis has dropped significantly. But lead is still present in the environment: in old paint, in soil, and as it turns out, strung on utility poles overhead. Up until the 1950s, it was common practice to sheath telephone cables in lead to protect them from the elements. Some of these cables are still around in older parts of U.S. cities, including Portland.
Accurate field-level weak lensing inference for precision cosmology
We present miko, a catalog-to-cosmology pipeline for general flat-sky field-level inference, which provides access to cosmological information beyond the two-point statistics. In the context of weak lensing, we identify several new field-level analysis systematics (such as aliasing, Fourier mode-coupling, and density-induced shape noise), quantify their impact on cosmological constraints, and correct the biases to a percent level.

A Comprehensive Study of Historical Detection Data for Pathogen Isolates from U.S. Cattle
1. Introduction Foodborne pathogens originating from cattle are a prevalent issue that result in massive economic loss, as well as various diseases worldwide [1]. These foodborne pathogens can be spread to humans through improperly cooked food, including meat and unpasteurized dairy products [2,3]. Nationally, it is estimated that foodborne illnesses in humans cause a loss of $90 billion and result in 128,000 hospitalizations and 3000 deaths annually [4].
