Research links psychosocial stress to premature telomere shortening and accelerated human aging; however, this association has only been demonstrated in so-called "WEIRD" societies (Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic), where stress is typically lower and life expectancies longer.

A network of marine protected areas was established in the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary in April 2003. Geospatial modeling tools were used to advance the science and policy underlying the network design. Scientists used a modeling tool, SPEXAN, to develop and evaluate design options. This modeling tool was used to process a large amount of spatially explicit data and to produce a s...
