SUMMARY: Sculptor Bobby Zokaites, inspired by enduring Phoenix’s extreme heat, helped create shade art installations to combat rising temperatures. U.S. cities merge art, science, and community to raise heat risk awareness and provide cooling shade, crucial amid climate-driven heat. Phoenix, known for 115+ days over 100°F, features vibrant shade structures with misting systems and educational events promoting heat safety. Technologies like Arizona State University’s MaRTy 3D+ analyze temperature impacts on humans, aiding better shade planning. Meanwhile, Los Angeles showcases “Roots of Cool,” an art exhibit addressing shade inequality and solutions, highlighting shade’s role in reducing heat-related deaths and improving public health equity.

SUMMARY: NASA’s Mars rover Perseverance discovered rocks in a dry river channel on Mars that may show potential signs of ancient microbial life. The rover, operational since 2021, drilled into clay-rich mudstones in Neretva Vallis, part of Jezero Crater, gathering samples containing organic carbon and iron minerals, which on Earth are linked to biological activity. Scientists caution that non-biological processes could explain these features and emphasize the need for detailed analysis, ideally in Earth labs. Sample return missions are delayed to the 2040s due to high costs. The discovery is the most compelling clue yet in the search for past Martian life but remains inconclusive.

Previously, three players from Fresno State and San Jose State were found guilty, with eligibility revoked. NCAA President Charlie Baker emphasized ongoing integrity monitoring and urged regulators to reduce risks by limiting prop bets and involving leagues in policy-making.
