Photos a recent California college graduate took with her parents in the fields where they worked as migrant farm laborers went viral this week, after her school shared the images and the story of her journey on the Facebook page.

Jessica Rocha graduated from the University of California, San Diego, with a degree in sociology on Saturday. In the post, Rocha said her parents came from Michoacan, Mexico, and that while she was growing up, they had her work in the fields alongside them.

She started working in the fields in high school after classes. "I admired the workers because they kept working despite backaches while files, mosquitos and bugs kept roaming their faces, getting into their eyes," she said," Nobody thinks about nor sees what happens behind a vegetable you grab at the grocery store. But behind it is someone who breaks their backs every day working in the fields. "

She continued to work in the fields on weekends and school breaks even after she left for college and had a job with the University of California Police Department. She credited her parents. "Many times I wanted to give up, but my parents and their pieces of advice and support were the reason I kept going," Rocha said." If it wasn't for how my parents raised me, I don't know who I would be today," she added," Working in the fields builds a different type of character, a character that does not give up, and one with resilience (韧性) and strength to face challenges."

Every year millions of monarch butterflies (黑脉金斑蝶) in the US and southern Canada search for milkweed plants on which to lay their eggs. Concern over reduced habitat has pushed conservationists to create monarch-friendly spaces along roadsides, which are abundant within the butterflies' range and usually publicly owned. But traffic noise stresses monarch larvae (幼虫) out, a new study finds , which might spell trouble for them later on, too.

Andy Davis, a conservation physiologist at the University of Georgia, noticed online videos of roadside monarch larvae apparently shaking as cars zoomed by. He wondered how the constant loud noise might affect them. Davis built a custom larva heart monitor, fitting a small sensor into a microscope to precisely measure monarch larvae' heart rates as they listened to recordings of traffic sounds in the laboratory.

The hearts of larvae inundated with highway noise for two hours beat 17 percent faster than those of larvae in a silent room. But larvae eventually do become desensitized (脱敏的,麻木的) to noise. This desensitization could be problematic when the larvae become adults, Davis says. A rapid stress response is vital for monarch butterflies on their two-month journeys to spend winters in Mexico, as they narrowly escape predators and fight wind currents. "What I think is happening on roadsides is that their stress reactions get overwhelmed(压垮) when they're larvae and could be damaged when they travel to Mexico,"" Davis says.

Whether a noisy larval period reduces monarchs' survival rates remains unknown, notes Ryan Norris, an ecologist at the University of Guelph in Ontario, who was not involved in the study." But in any case, monarch-friendly spaces along roadsides almost certainly drive up the butterflies' death rate as a result of collisions with cars. There is so much potential road habitat for monarchs and other insects一it would be such a nice thing to make use of," Norris says." But you just can't get around the traffic.

Researchers from Switzerland are tapping into an unexpected energy source right under our feet: wooden floorings. When walked on, these wooden floors harvest enough energy to power LED lightbulbs and small electronics.

The team began by transforming wood into a nanogenerator (纳米发电机) by sandwiching two pieces of functionalized wood between electrodes (电极). 'The wood pieces become electrically charged through periodic contacts and separations when stepped on，a phenomenon called the turboelectric effect. The electrons can transfer from one object to another, producing electricity. To make wood that is able to attract and lose electrons, the scientists coated one piece of the wood with polydimethylsiloxane (PIMS), a matter that gains electrons upon contact, while functionalizing the other piece of wood with ZIF - 8 which has a higher tendency to lose electrons. The device's electricity output was also stable under steady forces for up to 1, 500 cycles.

The researchers found that a wood floor with a surface area slightly smaller than a piece of paper can produce enough energy to drive household IED lamps and small electronic devices such as calculators. They successfully lit up a lightbulb with the device when a human adult walked upon it.

The next step for Panzarasa and his team, whose work has been published in Matter journal, is to further improve the man generator with chemical coatings that are more eco-friendly and easier to operate." Even though we initially focused on basic research, eventually, the research that we do should lead to applications in the real world," says Panzarasa.

Inside your head is an organ called the brain. The brain is where we think and store everything we know. It is sort of like a library. But libraries can get full if you stack too many books in them.

Can the brain become full too? The answer is no. New ideas come in, but old ideas also get pushed out. A new study shows how this might happen.

The Experiment

Often we ty to remember a specific memory, an event or idea. Sometimes we cannot, but remember something alike instead. Similar memories can get in the way of finding the right memory. In the study, scientists asked people to learn two similar ideas. Then they asked people to think of just one of them.

The Results

The scientists took pictures of what was happening in people's brains. Each time one idea is remembered, the memory of it gets stronger.

The hippocampus in the middle of the brain searches for memories. The prefrontal skin in the front chooses a memory.

Better to forget

Sometimes forgetting is good. Imagine you had to learn a new password. Forgetting the old password makes it easier to remember the new one. If you couldn't forget the old one, you would end up with too many passwords in your head.

There are many studies about how we learn and remember. But now scientists are also studying how and why we forget. We forget memories that we do not use. Then we can remember other memories more easily.

A. Maybe this is why our brains never get full.

B. Forgetting is our brain's way of organizing memories.

C. Learning new things can lead to forgetting old things.

D. Different parts of the brain work together to remember.

E. As expected, the more we forget, the better it will be.

F. At the same time, the memory of the other idea gets weaker.

G. The brain, made up of different parts, is complex and easily gets started.

Wolownick often 19 her climbing experiences on social media to guide other climbers， reminding them that they are 20 of doing everything they desire.
