The formula was based on what is known as DNA methylation. Methyl groups are compounds made up of hydrocarbons that attach themselves to DNA and act as signals for turning genes on or off. The rate of the process known as DNA methylation changes as we age. By mapping how DNA methylation changes in humans and dogs, the researchers created what is known as an epigenetic clock, or biological age based on how genes are expressed....

Newsom used “historic” and “extraordinary” to describe the impacts of this year’s wildfires, which have burned through nearly 2.3 million acres of land across California since the beginning of 2020. The figure is 20 times larger than acreage consumed by wildfires at this time last year. Slightly more than 4,900 individual fires were recorded in California over the first eight months of 2019.

Governor Gavin Newsom announced last fall that all cars and passenger trucks sold in the state must be zero-emission by 2035. The goal will require a big shift for California drivers, more than 85% of whom were still driving gas- and diesel-powered vehicles in 2019, according to the California New Car Dealers Association’s California Auto Outlook. The California Air Resources Board in late May mapped out additional requirements for ride-hailing companies, which must use electric vehicles for at least 90% of all miles driven by 2030....

We shouldn’t second guess that it was needed to prepare for a surge and to enable health care providers to prepare with sufficient personnel, practices, supplies and procedures. There was concern that ventilators and ICU beds would be in short supply. No one knew for certain whether the projected surge would overwhelm us....
