Opinion | The Secret Life of a Coronavirus - The New York Times

Viruses, scientists realized, can hijack our cells because they have something profound in common with us: They write their recipes in the language of life. It turned out that those recipes could be exquisitely short. Humans carry 20,000 protein-coding genes. SARS-CoV-2 has 29. Other viruses need 10 or fewer

Study challenges validity of the psychological "Grit Scale"

However, new data emerged calling into question the existence of grit as a single trait. Based on a sample of students from the Philippines, Jesus Datu and colleagues showed that while the Grit Scale does measure both consistency of interests and perseverance, these are two distinct and independent traits that do not form a single overarching construct.

BBC News: Douglas Mawson: An Australian hero's story of survival

A plunge into the writhing storm-whirl stamps upon the senses an indelible and awful impression seldom equalled in the whole gamut of natural experience.  The world a void: grisly, fierce and appalling.  We stumble and struggle through the Stygian gloom; the merciless blast - an incubus of vengeance - stabs, buffets and freezes; the stinging drift blinds and chokes."

Douglas Mawson: An Australian hero's story of survival

One hundred years ago this week, Douglas Mawson returned home after two years of triumph and terror in East Antarctica.
