As the school year ends, AAA stresses the importance of preparing and educating inexperienced teen drivers for some of the most dangerous driving days of the year. Nationwide, more than 7,000 people died in teen driving-related summertime crashes between 2011 and 2020. That's more than 7 people per day during the 100 Deadliest Days - the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day – compared to the rest of the year. "Without the responsibilities of school during the summer months, teens will spend more time on the road, often driving with friends at odd hours of the day and night. Younger drivers don't have as much experience behind the wheel, so they often engage in unsafe behaviors like speeding and distracted driving," says Theresa Podguski, director of legislative affairs, AAA East Central. "AAA urges parents to model safe driving practices and reinforce safe driving habits to keep their teen drivers as safe as possible this summer." According to previous

How does spaceflight affect tumor-bearing fruit fly hosts and their parasites? Pigmentation: A side-by-side comparison of wasps shows a clear difference in the melanization of wing veins for wild-type and each mutant.Blade Shape: The kona mutant has an angular wing shape in contrast to wild-type’s rounded wing blade (vertical arrows in D–F). S. Govind. Background: Like humans, fruit flies (a model organism for spaceflight research) also exhibit immune system dysfunction in space. Despite decades of studies on fruit flies and wasps, little was known about how their immune systems interact with natural parasites in space. Drosophila parasitoid wasps modify blood cell function to suppress host immunity. In this spaceflight study (the Fruit Fly-03 Lab flown to the ISS on SpaceX-14), naive and parasitized ground and space flies from a tumor-free control and a blood tumor-bearing mutant strain were examined. Main Findings: Surprisingly, the flies without tumors were more sensitive to space t
