The National Battlefields Commission For a second year, the National Battlefields Commission (NBC) is proud to present a pop-up installation in memory of Cove Fields-a community that existed from 1945 to 1951. Also known as the Faubourg de la misère ("the poor suburb"), the community had been created out of former army barracks on the land behind the present-day Plains of Abraham Museum. With the help of archival photos, the installation will take visitors back to the homes of those years and bring to life a unique episode of Quebec City's history.

DURHAM, N.C. -- If you happened upon a witch hazel plant in the forest, you might describe it as a sweet-smelling shrub with crinkly ribbon-like petals. But to Duke University graduate student Justin Jorge, it's a howitzer. That's because of the impressive firepower of its fruits. When witch hazels are ready to disperse their seeds, their woody seed capsules split open. Pressure builds up, and eventually the seeds shoot out like bullets fired from a rifle, hitting 30 feet per second in about half a millisecond.

MADISON — As the virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic first began to spread around the planet, it brought along a new vocabulary. Unfamiliar phrases like "flatten the curve," "COVID pod" and "essential worker" infected regular conversation. But another — "do your own research" — was already well-known to Sedona Chinn , who studies misinformation and health communications. "We had heard the phrase a lot before," prior to the pandemic, says Chinn, a University of Wisconsin–Madison professor of Life Sciences Communication who began researching the idea in 2019 with University of Michigan communications professor Ariel Hasell .

Most people are usually busy recovering from the New Year's Eve festivities or spending time with their families. It's a tough day to gather everyone for a celebration. But beyond the scheduling challenges, there's something else that happened during my seventh birthday that has forever stayed with me — a memory I can't shake off. In the Philippines, the seventh birthday is a significant milestone.
