How does monkeypox spread? An epidemiologist explains why it isn’t an STI and what counts as close contact: Monkeypox is caused by a virus that, despite periodic outbreaks, is not thought to spread easily from person to person and historically has not spurred long chains of transmission within communities. Now, many researchers are left scratching their heads as to why monkeypox seems to be propagating so readily and unconventionally in the current global outbreak.

Tiny Mammal Responsible for Spread of New Virus in China: Scientists say the animal is the likely culprit responsible for passing on a new virus to humans. Public-health officials want to pin down the virus’s source so they can prevent new outbreaks.

3 reasons US coal power is disappearing, and a Supreme Court ruling won’t save it: The U.S. coal industry chalked up a rare win this summer when the Supreme Court issued a ruling limiting the government’s ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. But that doesn’t mean coal-fired power plants will make a comeback.

But if they complain, they, too, face the threat of death.
