Far more bird flu damage is inevitable, but the extent of it will be left to the Trump administration and Mother Nature. Already, the USDA has funneled more than $1.7 billion into tamping down the bird flu on poultry farms since 2022, which includes reimbursing farmers who’ve had to cull their flocks, and more than $430 million into combating the bird flu on dairy farms. In coming years, the bird flu may cost billions of dollars more in expenses and losses. Dairy industry experts say the virus kills roughly 2% to 5% of infected dairy cows and reduces a herd’s milk production by about 20%. #Bird #flu #damage #is #inevitable #will #be #up #to #Trump #administration #to #take #action

New research in Physical Review Letters explains why soft droplets make indents at the boundary of actively freezing ice. The authors say differences in surface tension can push warmer fluid closer to the ice boundary, delaying the droplet from freezing and allowing a dent to form. The findings could have practical applications in food preservation and cryopreservation. Read more: https://go.aps.org/3Oiamtw
