Omicron Variant: Really More Contagious and Deadly?
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Pandemic, Americas* Experts say that more data is needed before they can make any concrete conclusions. Late last week, medical experts from around the world began warning about the omicron coronavirus variant that was first detected in southern Africa. And as more information was revealed about the variant, three questions took center stage: Is it more transmissible? Does it make people sicker?

Why Submarines are the Best Asset for Defending Taiwan
*Kris Osborn* *Submarine Warfare, Taiwan* Surface ships and land forces may be exposed in an attack on Taiwan. But submarines will be poised to strike back. Surface ships are visible to an enemy from miles away. Most drones and aircraft are easily detectable. Ground-based weapons such as missile launchers and interceptors can largely be seen by satellite. This means any prepositioned assets deployed to deter or stop a Chinese amphibious assault on Taiwan are likely to be seen or known by attacking People's Liberation Army forces. But what about submarines? It seems reasonable to... read more

A Hunter Shot A Buck, Which Turned Out To Be A Doe With Antlers. Here's How
In 2021, there remains some confusion about the distinction between biological sex and gender. The fossil record only shows males and females, it does not show how those people, or even precursors of modern humans, felt about themselves. And fossil records only show what can actually be fossilized. Which is often just skeletal. Nature can be more complex than that.
