Being Physically Active, Even Just a Couple of Days a Week, May Be Key to Better Health
A “weekend warrior” approach to physical activity — getting 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity over one to two days instead of throughout the week — improved health and lowered the risk of death, finds a new study in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

Southern Ocean Warming Leads to Wetter East Asia, Western US
As global temperatures warm, the Southern Ocean – between Antarctica and other continents – will eventually release heat absorbed from the atmosphere, leading to projected long-term increases in precipitation over East Asia and the Western U.S., regardless of climate mitigation efforts.
